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 Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
This fully restored 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a prime example of luxury and elegance from the pinnacle of 1980s American automotive design. With only 53,000 original miles, this stunning coupe offers both pristine condition and authenticity. Powered by Cadillac’s refined 4.1L V8 engine and finished in an eye-catching red exterior over an equally luxurious red interior, it effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern touches such as Bluetooth radio connectivity.
The Cadillac Eldorado was the flagship offering of Cadillac, America’s most famous luxury automaker to this day. Made over twelve generations, the Eldorado’s production run started in 1953 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2002. Envisioned to be a two-door personal luxury car, the Eldorado is widely popularized as the vehicle that resulted in the coining of the term “Land Yacht”. Just cast your eyes upon this 31,898-mile, ninth generation 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and you’ll see why. Stretching at over 224 inches long and taking up almost 80 inches of road width, it’s truly an imposing, hulking beast. Its engine is no less impressive, because Cadillac’s answer to the stranglehold of the Malaise Era was to simply upsize the cubic inch capacity to commercial vehicle level numbers. Now, you can have your very own Land Yacht, as this reportedly all-original car is up for sale in Topanga, California.

Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
One of the most widely sold cars in the world, over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles rolled of production facilities in Germany and other countries over the car’s exceptionally long lifecycle.

A Beetle makes for an excellent starter classic car, as it’s simple and cheap to maintain, easy to drive, and offers a slice of classic motoring without much of the related compromises. This car also comes with the original owners manual and original service records included with the sale.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior.
