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 1963 Cadillac Coupe DeVille stands as a defining symbol of American luxury during the early 1960s, an era where size, presence, and comfort reigned supreme. With its long, flowing body lines and unmistakable Cadillac styling, this coupe delivers the kind of road presence that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate. This particular example, showing under 16,000 miles, has been thoughtfully updated to blend classic charm with modern usability. Enhancements such as upgraded air conditioning, audio, and electrical systems make it far more enjoyable to drive today, while still preserving the essence of what made Cadillac the pinnacle of luxury in its time.
Of The Town. That’s what de Ville means, and Caddy intended for their model to become the talk of the town. Produced across eight generations from 1959 to 2005, today’s 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is a nice fifth-generation example. It’s a definite American classic in all its green on green glory, and it packs a nicely grunty 429ci V8 up front to move it along the roads and keep pace even with today’s EVs and hybrids. Having reportedly covered just 80,000 miles, this car is now up for grabs in Huntington Beach, Florida.
We all loved the 101 Dalmatians movie, and one of the most prominent characters in it was the villain, Cruella de Vil. That has nothing to do with this car, but her name sure does remind us of it. Say hello to the 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville, the luxurious land yacht that won the hearts of the 1960s. This model name was used by Cadillac over eight generations. It was derived from the French de la Ville or de Ville, meaning "of the town". What we have here is a 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville that belongs to the third generation. It saw a major redesign that sets it apart from its predecessors. With just 80,631 miles on its odometer, this beauty is located in Elgin, South Carolina.

This 2004 Cadillac XLR is one of just 15,460 cars that showed Americans what would result if Cadillac made a modern grand tourer. Sitting on a Corvette platform and featuring a power retractable hardtop, this Black Raven example is one of just 3,665 XLRs sold in 2004. It’s got 41,675 miles on the clock, three keys and the original owner’s manual. But what’s more, this Estero, Florida-based Caddy also comes with some custom made wall art included in the sale, we’re told. If this car interests you, you’d better act quickly because as time goes by, the XLR will be recognized as a future classic, and then, everyone will want one.

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of the most celebrated icons of the American pony car era, offering a perfect blend of style, performance, and open-top enjoyment. As one of the models that helped define Ford’s early success with the Mustang, the 1966 model year continued to refine the formula with subtle styling updates and strong engine options like the 289 V8. This particular example, showing 41,969 miles, presents in a classic and highly desirable red-on-red configuration, further enhanced by the sought-after Pony Interior trim. With its combination of vintage appeal and tasteful upgrades, this Mustang delivers an authentic yet enjoyable classic driving experience.
One of Chevy’s main pillars of the Sixties and Seventies, the Chevelle dominated the midsize segment with ease. It was one of the Bowtie’s most successful models during its 1963 to 1977 production run, and came in many body forms. Of course, petrolheads flocked towards the SS or Super Sport variant which brought many cosmetic as well as performance upgrades to the car. Now, we’ve got a finely restored 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for grabs in Visalia, California. Sporting a black exterior and a black interior, this machine rocks a fearsome 427ci V8 under the hood, a set of black Ridler alloy wheels, and more. Also included in the sale is a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system that’s currently not installed.
