1965 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special

Description

It's time to get your hands on an American icon for an unbeatable price. This 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special is a premium classic cruiser that's complete right down to its big 429 V8. But there's also the right subtle upgrades like modern air conditioning, so you know its cool factor is the only thing that outweighs this long, low classic sedan.

Whether they see you coming or watch you going, there is no mistaking the big bold chrome grille or the long tailfins of a classic Caddy. True Cadillac fans know the value of the top-of-the-line Fleetwood. So, a big executive sedan like this only gets more prestigious with age, and for some, the 1965 redesign is the ultimate car. The stacked headlights that stretch out like pontoons; the long artful hood that starts at a crisp point and creates a style line that doesn't even until the rear doors; and sharp fins that were placed above and below the taillights. Those who appreciate classic style will enjoy the fact that this appears to be largely an original car that's had been resprayed in its correct Alpine Turquoise at least once during its lifetime. This was a car that celebrated its size, and knew how to make a grand entrance. In fact, this bold attitude is why we respect the addition of the 18-inch BOSS alloys. But if you're a lover of originality, the bright factory wheel covers come with the sale, too.

Cadillac style in the '60s was all about coordinating colors and intricate design, and this is where the Fleetwoods particularly shined. So when you open the door, you'll love seeing the turquoise interior that shows all signs of being original. The button-tufted seats are a beautiful '60s-style pattern fabric, and this coordinates nicely with the door panels, carpeting, and dashboard. Plus, wood-like paneling is a great touch on the dash and doors, too. The handsome instrument panel is centered around the driver, with a skinny steering wheel that's easy to see through to the wide speedometer spanning the width of the instrument panel. It's easy to get comfortable in this Caddy with power features like the seats, locks, and doors. And since this is the kind of classic that has enough room for all your family and friends, it's great to have comfortable provisions for modern R134a air conditioning.

Even with all these great features, there is one BIG reason you really want this sedan - the 429 cubic-inch engine. The V8 looks very correct under the hood, right down to the blue on the block and valve covers. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this monster motor makes big power and big torque to move all this sheetmetal with ease - especially when paired with the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. It's finished off with a dual exhaust that strikes just the right tone of power without losing the Cadillac poise. As expected from a Cadillac, the rides have an unparalleled smoothness that soaks up bumps like a hovercraft. As you're enjoying the roadtrip, the power steering, power brakes, new Michelin tires, and a limited slip rear end are there to keep you in control.

Complete with owner's manual and title documentation, an executive-level classic Caddy never goes out of style. So when one is as complete as this, and it has an affordable price tag, we know it will not be in our showroom for very long. Call now!!
