THE SECOND COMING


BODY: From the E-Class Mercedes headlights to the 1989 Cadillac taillights this car is about as custom as they come. Smoothed, chopped, and decked, this car has had it all. Beautiful paint. Lift-off Carson style top.

TRANSMISSION: Turbo 350 transmission.


EXHAUST: Custom exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.

FRONT SUSPENSION: 1979 Cadillac Seville front suspension grafted to the original frame.

REAR SUSPENSION: Curtis 9" rear. Hand crafted ladderbars and Carrera coilovers.

BRAKES: Power Wildwood 4 wheel disc brakes. Brakes work great.

INTERIOR: A Sid Chavers creation. Light gray tweed. Completely custom. Alpine CD changer. Budnik billet steering wheel. Tilt column. Custom console with built-in metal cooler with drain.

TRUNK: The trunk is completely upholstered and holds the custom stainless fuel tank and CD changer.

WHEELS/TIRES: Foose wheels. BF Goodrich tires.

OVERALL CONDITION: Show ready.

SUMMARY: This Cadillac was originally built in 1990 as a trick pro-street Cadillac. It appeared in many publications at the time including making the cover of the Summer 1991 issue of Custom Rodder. Fast forward to 2004 and an expensive metamorphosis takes place that brings the car into the 21st century. A smoother, milder and well, less 90's, Cadillac appears. The pro street rear end is replaced by a Curtis 9" with modern wheels and rubber all around. Modern paint covers the dated silver and fuscia. The front end receives a major face lift with the addition of Mercedes headlights, custom grill and a 1956 Chevy front bumper.
With this new transformation comes a unique honor, another Custom Rodder cover. This is the only car to make 2 covers.

This is a gorgeous street rod that draws an incredible amount of attention everywhere it goes. Designed as a fair weather cruiser, this car has no windshield wipers, heater or side windows, not that you would drive the car in bad weather anyways.
This car has been designed and built by an incredible group of talented craftsmen. The attention to detail truly shows. It would cost way more than double the asking price to build this car.
