Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
Finished in white with a new white convertible top, there is nothing on the exterior to suggest that this car isn’t completely stock until you see the chrome 5-spoke alloy wheels. These new wheels are also wrapped in new tires. The new white and red interior stands out without being too loud. While some upgrades have been made inside the cabin, these aren’t immediately noticeable to the untrained eye. Some of these upgrades include a Bluetooth stereo system and a custom sound system with subwoofers. This car is also equipped with power windows and power front seats. It must be noted, however, that it doesn’t have air conditioning. 1965 was also the first year the Cadillac included front and rear safety belts and tempered glass backlights (for convertibles) as standard equipment. The undercarriage appears to be corrosion-free, and the paintwork appears to be in great shape overall.
The 340hp 7.0L V8 that originally lived under the hood has been evicted in favor of a 6.2L LS3 V8. The original TH-400 3-speed automatic transmission has also been swapped out and replaced by a 700R4 (4-speed automatic transmission). It also has front disc brakes and new shocks now.

The 1966 Cadillac DeVille captured the essence of mid-1960s American luxury with its bold design, powerful V8, and emphasis on comfort and presence. This particular example has been tastefully customized while retaining its classic Cadillac character. Finished in a striking black-and-silver vinyl wrap over a black and gray interior, it is powered by the factory 429ci V8 paired to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Showing 93,071 miles, this DeVille combines period elegance with modern flair thanks to a lowered stance and polished 20-inch wheels.
Cadillac’s de Ville series, which roughly translates to ‘of the town’ represented coupes and convertibles from Cadillac’s full-size luxury car line-up. This nameplate was seen across eight generations, between 1959 and 2005. Early generations, such as the third, which this 1966 Cadillac deVille Convertible Restomod belongs to, are widely considered to be a great way to experience Sixties Cadillac motoring. This particular car comes from Lake George, New York, and has received a thorough mechanical upgrade package, plus some cosmetic enhancements. So, as the name suggests, it’s a restomod for those who appreciate the tasteful combination of classic and modern elements. If that sounds like you, get in touch with us and take this beauty home, pronto.
A convertible classic Cadillac is always a head turner, regardless of the year of model or era. But if one were to pick some particularly great eras, the late 50s and the early 70s immediately come to mind. The 3rd generation DeVille was built from 1965 to 1970, and even though it was Cadillac’s mid-range model, it was still very much a Cadillac in every sense of the word. The 1970 DeVille falls into the sweet spot in time where cars had the design, features, and comfort of the late 60s/early 70s and power of the “pre-emissions” engines. During its 6-year production, several significant changes were made to the DeVille in terms of mechanics, features, and design. Perhaps the most noticeable of these is the layout of the dual headlamps changing from vertical to horizontal, but there were many not-so-obvious improvements as well, such as the introduction of the Energy-Absorbing steering column and safety wheel as standard equipment from 1967.
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedan for twenty years, the Fleetwood served as the pinnacle offering from this iconic American luxury automaker between 1976 and 1996. The actual origins of Fleetwood are hazy, as it was used as a trim line on other Cadillacs since 1935, since Fleetwood was actually a coachbuilder who built bodies for automakers, most notably, Cadillac. The first proper Fleetwood model was actually front-wheel drive, with the second generation switching to rear-wheel drive. However, the Fleetwood Brougham remained rear-wheel drive, as is this 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from Ford Collins, Colorado. The car has got a 307 under the hood, and just over 25,000 miles on the clock.
This 2018 Cadillac CTS-V combines supercharged V8 performance with premium luxury features, creating one of the most compelling American super sedans of its era. Powered by the 640-hp LT4 engine and paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the CTS-V delivers exceptional acceleration and high-speed stability while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. This example is finished in Crystal White Tricoat and optioned with the V-Series Preferred Equipment Group, Luxury Package, polished 19-inch wheels, Recaro performance seats, and several interior comfort features, making it both highly equipped and performance-focused. Altogether, it offers a distinctive balance of refinement, technology, and track-ready capability.
A Brougham is a horse-drawn carriage, named by a British politician and jurist named Lord Henry Brougham. One of the most luxurious ways to travel in the horse-and-cart era, it’s no surprise that Cadillac boldly used the name for their full-size luxury car lineup in 1987. Sadly, the Brougham would see just five years of production before being discontinued in 1992, replaced by the arguably less cool-sounding Fleetwood. Yes, Fleetwood is nice but no follow-up to Brougham. How do you pronounce it, anyways? We’ll leave you to ponder that as you take on this 1988 Cadillac Brougham from Smithville, Texas. With 63,000 miles on the clock, this old-school American luxobarge could be yours! It’s got a repainted deck lid and hood, and come s with the owners manual included in the sale too.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
