with purchase � MotoeXotica is thrilled to offer this stunning
freshly nut and bolt restored 1956 Cadillac Series 62 Black
Restomod Coupe. With its prominent Dagmar front bumper, tail fins
and sinister black paint, it cuts a memorable figure wherever it
goes. The current owner and a friend completed a nearly frame-off
restoration in 2014. The owner's friend used to work for a car
collector locally here in Missouri, and he had experience restoring
models from one of America's premier pre-World War II makes,
Duesenbergs. The Duesy restoration experience really makes its
presence with the extreme high quality of the restoration making
this Cadillac coming home with multiple awards. Under the large
domed hood is a neck snapping (yes, even in this heavy Cadillac
body) 454 CID V-8 big block engine, provided by Hovis Racing
Engines in St. Peters, Missouri. It features upgraded HO headers,
custom 3" exhaust and an Edelbrock chromed air cleaner atop a
Holley carburetor, an electrically-operated radiator fan and dual
horns, among many other upgrades. Backing up the V-8 is a Turbo
Hydramatic 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission that was
beefed-up to handle the engine's output. Also upgraded with new
quick ratio steering box for easy driving this big body Caddy.
Outside, the car is simply stunning. The deep and rich black paint,
with its clearcoat finish, is mirror-like and all of the impossible
to find exterior chrome bits glisten. The rear window is the
original E-Z-Eye glass from the factory; all of the other window
glass has been replaced with correct glass. Its prominent Dagmar
front bumper is in excellent shape and is all the grill pieces and
bullets. Out back, there are correct finned taillamps and a gold
Cadillac script and V are prominently displayed on the trunk lid.
Overall the car still retains a lot of its original sheet metal and
appears all very straight with nice gaping. The black Cadillac
looks extremely stylish with its original Cadillac hubcaps and
steel wheels mounted within Coker Classic 235/75R15 radial wide
whitewall tires. Inside, the car features white leather with black
seats, Dynamat sound insulation from the firewall to the rear seat
and into the trunk floor. The vinyl dashboard is original while the
center console is customized to the car and features ancillary
gauges at the forward end, under the dash. The original dash
cluster and other details are mostly original and in excellent
condition and really retain a classic original feel to this big
block restomod. Driver assist options include power steering, power
brakes (fronts have been converted to discs), power windows and
six-way power seats. The rear has an electric power lift down trunk
and as highly desired with all black Cadillacs, this one comes
equipped with Classic Air A/C, complete with R-134a refrigerant and
blows cold. This big finned Cadillac is finished with many
concealed modern touches under its black skin,�including an
amplifier and subwoofer for the aftermarket stereo, a rotary dimmer
switch for the dash lights and an interior release for the trunk,
both located near the driver's right knee. The current owner said
he bought the car in 2009 from a friend of his father's who lived
in Hannibal, Missouri. His father's friend bought it in 1972 and
kept it properly stored. The car is included with over $70,000+ in
restoration receipts and a copy of the owner's manual and a shop
manual for the engine and body. Also the original numbers matching
engine and transmission are included with the purchase of the car.
Examples of this car's competition in 1956 included the Lincoln
Premiere Coupe, the Chrysler New Yorker Newport Coupe, the Packard
400 Coupe and the Lincoln Continental. Car has 4,686 miles on it
and is sold as is with a clear and mileage exempt title. VIN:
