Seller claims it's fully restored, and was a show winner in the late 70s.
However, I'm guessing it will take some time and money to get it back to that state.

Yes, that car, as nice as it appears to be, will no doubt require some time and money spent.  The floor, at least, appears to be concrete, albeit dirty and stained.
There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Mental Illness".  Dave Barry.   I walk that line.

This is a 1935 370D Limo with the V12 Cadillac engine per advertisement.  Only us prewar fans would probably give it much thought - a very nice true Classic Cadillac!  Would require a thorough in person inspection but none the less a very unique car.

I don't know whether this qualifies as a comparable car, but this 1938 Series 90 V16 was sold for $27,500 + buyer's fee at Raleigh earlier this month. The car didn't appear to need anything to be driven, shown and enjoyed.

Some are, others are still bringing six figures. As always, there's a strong preference toward sporty body styles; big formal sedans, not so much.

Original high-condition survivors in either category will also bring a premium. Not so long ago, any V16 was looked upon like royalty in the classic Cadillac arena.

Hard to imagine a healthy example changing hands for less than what a nice mid '60s Cadillac commands nowadays. Times, they are a-changin'.

Here's one on the opposite end of the spectrum....

I wonder what this would fetch at auction??

$1,250,000 is the asking here....

The 1938, 1939, and 1940 V-16s have a different engine than the previous years. These cars had a flathead V-16 whereas the earlier V-16 and V-12 cars had an overhead valve engine.

For some reason? the later V-16s are not worth as much as the earlier 16s and 12s.

Correct, the V16 of 1930-1937 and the V12 powered Cadillacs are more sought after- mainly because the model years of the cars in which they were installed command more than the 1938-1940 cars, model for model, all other things equal. That, plus it was the first time an engine was deliberately stylized to be a work of art in itself.

In addition to appearance, the 1930-1937 V16 & V12 were state-of-the-art at the time, technologically. While the 1938-1940 V16 made no concession to aesthetics which had reverted back to earlier technology flathead, the truth is it was mechanically a more robust and reliable engine design requiring less maintenance. The later V16 is also dead quiet at idle. The bottom line is each has their charms.
