Thanks Marty!

Yes, I've seen that car.  In fact, I've sold a couple of cars to Pete Schlacter (the current owner).  That is one VERY nice car and Pete is an even nicer guy.  It would be a dream to own her, but she's is a "wee bit" beyond my price range.

I do appreciate the lead!

All the best,

Ralph

I do have one... but it needs total restoration. It is rust free.  Black
On all grey wool (very rare offering), ‘had’ air suspension among all other options. Utah car new then given to his daughter in 1969 in Mesa AZ. I have an original and perfect dash pad for the car, impossible to find.

Thank you so much for the response.  This time, I'm looking for either a very nice survivor or one that has been restored.  I say "this time," because I've performed fairly major restorations on several cars.  I know what's required and what it costs.  Plus, finding truly qualified shops these days is tough.  I'm not in the best of health and am not equipped to do it myself...

I've dreamed of owning a '58 60 Special for many years and have looked off and on since I retired from the Air Force in 1998.  I've owned a lot of very nice vintage Cadillacs over the years, but the '58 60 Special has eluded me.  She's out there someplace--I just need to find her!   :) :) 

I do appreciate the contact!

All the best,

Ralph

Good Afternoon,

I have a 1958 Fleetwood 60 Special (RestoMod?) that I am selling.  It is located in Oregon.  Its not perfect but in good shape.
a previous owner did a motor swap. 

1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special details are below:

4 door hardtop
Bagged Suspension (*tanks are located in the trunk)
*Both nitrogen tanks just filled 8/24/2020

Motor/Transmission was swap was down by previous owner.
Small block Chevy (I think it is a 350)
Tuned Port Injection
4 speed Automatic
New battery installed 8/23/2020

Repainted by previous owner.  There are some bubbles in the paint at the back window.

All chrome/ stainless trim is in good condition.

Interior is original but is in good condition for its age.

Known Flaws:
~Driver's side sunvisor is missing
~Passenger side back windows is cracked

I am trying to include a picture of when we purchased it last year but I am not sure if I am adding pictures correctly.  I can send picture via email too.

Anjanette--

Thank you so much for reaching out to me.  I'm going to respectfully pass on your car. 

I'm a "purist" and am looking for a car in stock condition--either a preserved original or a car restored to original/stock condition.  I also found your post on Facebook with the additional photos of your car.  It looks like a nice resto-mod and I wish you the best of luck in selling it.   :) :)

Thanks again for reaching out to me!

All the best,

Ralph

You might want to contact Anjanette directly.  I don't know whether she will be notified of your response regarding her car.

All the best,

Ralph
