General description :
This 1960 Cadillac 62 Special is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. This Caddy straight out of lowrider heaven is sure to turn some heads when aired out or flying down the road thanks to its terrifying new heart. This crazy build is powered by none other than the infamous 8.1L v10 SRT Viper engine. Not only can you lay low into the concrete in this bad ride, you can outrun just about anything on the street. This newer beast of a powerplant is backed by a new age 6 speed automatic transmission. The car has only been driven 4,500 miles since the drivetrain was transplanted. Headers have been added as well as remote side pipe cut-outs giving you the option to cruise quietly through your neighborhood and then when you are feeling the need you can flip a switch to hear all 10 cylinders roar. A custom wiring harness by Hotwire has been fabricated along side a combination of Ridetech and Airmaxxx air suspension. This set up allows you to air the car completely out to where it just barely clears the pavement as well as to air up to a proper driving ride height. There is nothing quite like seeing a slick ride pulling into a car meet then seal the wow factor by airing out all the way to the ground. The raw black painted exterior of this rat rod is only as good as its clean black interior and custom headliner. The “Tijuana Taxi†is bad enough to even put a smile on the faces of all Cadillac purists To view this 1960 Cadillac 62 Special in greater detail, including 100+ HD photos and HD video, please visit http://www.gatewayclassiccars.com.
