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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Cadillac entered the 1980s as America’s premier luxury marque, and the DeVille remained one of its most recognizable flagships. Designed to deliver effortless cruising comfort, elegant styling, and a commanding road presence, the DeVille embodied the traditional American luxury car formula that Cadillac had perfected over decades. This 1980 Cadillac DeVille shows 90,728 miles and is finished in sophisticated Western Saddle Firemist Metallic with a matching Saddle Velour interior. Equipped with the desirable d’Elegance Package, a black vinyl roof, and modern upgrades including 22-inch aftermarket wheels and a Kenwood audio head unit, this DeVille successfully blends classic Cadillac luxury with a customized appearance that is sure to stand out wherever it goes.
By 1980, Cadillac was balancing traditional American luxury with the industry’s shift toward improved efficiency, and the DeVille remained one of the brand’s definitive full-size luxury sedans. This 1980 Cadillac DeVille Sedan represents that era perfectly, offering unmistakable old-school Cadillac road presence paired with the comfort-focused engineering buyers expected from the marque. Showing approximately 57,233 miles, this DeVille presents itself as a well-preserved example of a time when luxury meant soft ride quality, generous dimensions, and an effortless driving experience. Finished in elegant Columbian Brown Metallic over a Saddle interior, this sedan carries the kind of stately charm that made Cadillacs a symbol of success for decades. Features such as automatic climate control, power-assisted steering and brakes, and the signature vinyl roof complete the authentic luxury formula.
Few American luxury convertibles capture mid-century optimism quite like a 1965 Cadillac DeVille. This was the era when Cadillac represented the absolute pinnacle of domestic prestige, building cars that were unapologetically large, extravagantly styled, and engineered to deliver effortless cruising comfort. This particular 1965 Cadillac DeVille Convertible takes that classic formula and thoughtfully updates it for modern usability as a restomod, blending iconic 1960s styling with the reliability and drivability of contemporary GM performance hardware. Showing approximately 455 miles since its build, this Cape Ivory over white example offers the kind of classic American glamour that turns heads everywhere, but without the compromises often associated with vintage carbureted cruisers. For buyers who love classic aesthetics but want modern confidence behind the wheel, this is a compelling combination.
The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe represents a landmark chapter in Cadillac history as the brand’s first front-wheel-drive Eldorado generation, combining advanced engineering with the unmistakable presence of a full-size American luxury coupe. Powered by Cadillac’s massive 472ci V8 and finished with elegant proportions, this Eldorado has been customized with a range of upgrades while maintaining its classic character. Finished in White with a White/Brown interior, this example shows approximately 92,444 miles and features a custom paint job, reupholstered interior, aftermarket air ride suspension, upgraded air conditioning system, and refreshed mechanical components reported by the current owner.
The 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz represents the height of Cadillac’s personal luxury coupe era, combining imposing styling, effortless V8 power, and an exceptional level of comfort and refinement. As the flagship Eldorado trim, the Biarritz added exclusive styling details and upscale appointments that set it apart from the standard model, creating one of Cadillac’s most recognizable luxury coupes of the late 1970s. Finished in Colonial Yellow with a matching Yellow leather interior, this example shows approximately 40,571 miles and features desirable period options including a factory Cadillac telephone system, Biarritz luxury trim, and formal padded roof treatment. This Eldorado Biarritz captures the distinctive character of an era when Cadillac represented the ultimate in American luxury motoring.
The second-generation Cadillac CTS-V redefined American performance by proving Cadillac could compete head-to-head with Europe's finest sport sedans. Introduced for the 2009 model year, the CTS-V combined luxury appointments with a supercharged 6.2L LSA V8, making it one of the quickest and most capable four-door sedans of its era. This 2010 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan shows approximately 156,229 miles and has undergone an extensive performance build documented by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and HorsePower Addicts. The current owner reports the engine was rebuilt approximately 40,000 miles ago, and the car now features a host of premium performance upgrades, including a ported Kong CNC supercharger, upgraded fuel system, reinforced cooling components, and a dyno-proven output of 736 wheel horsepower and 720 lb-ft of wheel torque.
