1965' Cadillac Coupe, 429 V8, 340HP,480ft-lbf, 3 speed auto,
(May 8th 2007). I just bought my Coupe today from Rt 31 Auto Sales in McHenry County IL. This is my 2nd 65' Coupe. I lost my first to some vandals 4 years ago, RIP. This car is in great shape and as you can see is fully stock besides the seats being recovered at some point. I plan to keep it stock with the exception of adding air shocks. This is my dream come true part II. I will update my progress along the way
Thanks for looking
