Although most of the time, I understand the need to preserve incredible custom builds, a part of me can’t help feeling these machines are not fully enjoyed by their owners. I mean, they’re like kids locked in a room filled with toys they’re not allowed to play with.
Imagine having this 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in your garage. Would you take it out for the occasional “testing and local enjoyment,” as it has been so far, or would you drive it extensively, properly enjoying things like an LS6 engine, AccuAir suspension, and the comfort of a Saddle Tan leather interior?

The Cadillac first came out into the open in this form at the SEMA show in 2018. Its body, incredibly sculpted but at the same time not too far from the family’s iconic lines in the ‘60s, is the work of a California-based body shop called Lewis Milinich. The 390ci (6.4-liter) originally fitted under the hood was replaced with a twin-turbocharged LS6 handled by another California garage, 3D.

An automatic overdrive transmission from Monster harnesses the engine’s 500 or so horsepower and directs the oomph to the 22-inch Raceline Manhattan custom wheels wrapped in Toyo tires.

Built on the factory X-frame chassis, the Super Jet Black body of the Cadillac hides inside power-adjustable leather seats, a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital gauges, and a touch of modern hardware in the form of a Bluetooth-capable, hidden stereo system backed by a pair of 10-inch subwoofers.

We are not told exactly how many miles the car’s odometer shows, but we are informed it has been “sparingly driven,” and that’s more than obvious from the way the thing looks. That means people mostly admired it from afar until now and have not properly enjoyed it on the road.

The same will probably happen with the next owner, expected to pay a fortune for it during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas in mid-June.
