For Sale: 1959 Cadillac 4-Dr Sedan in Mesa, Arizona
This 1959 Cadillac Custom is the kind of vehicle that takes an
amazing amount of vison, patience, and skill to create something so
absolutely wild. And just in case they didn't see you coming in
this bold green machine, there's a dual quad supercharged big block
that loves to growl, too.
It's hard to know where to start describing a build like this.
Every inch is about a custom craftsmanship that fuses so many
different elements to create one uniform and unique street machine.
Up front is a widened radiator shroud from a '32 Ford and the cowl
is custom crafted from a '37 Chevy. The doors give this car its
Cadillac namesake with a blend of doors from 1959 and 1960. And
this narrows the iconic '59 Caddy rear end with those huge
tailfins. This full creation is not just chrome era parts, they
even integrated the double-hump tonneau from a Pontiac Solstice.
It's all dipped in a lime green with plenty of metallic flake.
You'll also spot subtle pieces like green pinstriping and a darker
metallic on the frame. And if you check out the trunk, the Rat Fink
style graphic is actually a custom piece paying tribute to this
car's creator, Butch Reeves and his son Clint. So it's a true
master build that also respects its history.
Inside is more of the awesome custom appearance. The dash is
expertly integrated from a '55 Chevy, including its speedometer,
which will need servicing. There's more metallic green everywhere
from the button-top seat to the narrow steering wheel. Even the
windshield is green! The Rat Fink floor mats coordinate with the
Rat Fink shifter in the middle. It's all part of a package that's
designed to impress as much as the exterior.
More than just style, this custom Caddy has substance. That's why
the huge motor is always in display. Starting from the top and
going down, you have dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, a Mike
Kuhl Racing carb spacer, Weiand 6-71 supercharger, and a Holley
Pro-Dominator intake. It all sits on top of a 454 cubic-inch big
block V8. Oh yeah, this Caddy has power! And just like the rest of
the car, you can see that it's built with care. That's why you have
good supporting components, like an HEI distributor, steel braided
lines, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. Plus, those HPC
zoomies really make sure this custom machine has a ferocious growl.
The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission was new in 2016, and
it's a stout unit built to handle big power. This feeds a narrowed
Ford 9-inch rear that connects to those wide rear drag tires. As
you look underneath at the suspension photos, you see a full custom
chassis with a four-link front end, front wheel disc brakes, and
adjustable coilover in the rear.
You know you can't beat this level of custom crafted work. And the
amount of man-hours it would take to even try would cost you more
than this custom's price. So you know you're looking at an amazing
deal for a powerful one-of-a-kind street machine. Call today!!!
