I watched this build years ago....STILL looks absolutely flawless. Dave is my favorite builder for sure. You are a lucky man!

[@AutotopiaLA]

His builds are exceptional and it was a joy to shoot and drive this around for a few minutes

[@danteardenz2670]

I am very familiar with the 63- 64 ; Cadillacs. They where very popular , and called at the time :" The most beloved Cadillac ever ". The steering wheel ; beautiful two tone is original, thank goodness !

[@minnesotatomcat]

Why would he sell this car? It was undoubtedly ridiculously expensive to have built and totally customized to him, seems like one of those forever cars.

[@wadesnider5218]

Exactly

[@danmyers9372]

You never know what people have going on in their lives.

[@ChasingPerfection]

Money, and it's too nice of a car to drive often.

[@PASquared]

Lots of people do this and it blows my mind. I think some people enjoy the build experience more than actually using the thing. Or, for people who pay boatloads of money for someone to build their car, only to sell it immediately after- maybe they got in over their heads with how much it would actually cost

[@AdventureWithin]

And it’s called zero regrets. Selling may imply regret. 😂 awesome ride

[@jameshutchins3396]

I would love this no matter who built it or why. I just love old cadillacs. Thank you

[@AutotopiaLA]

I do too. They just beg for casual cool cruising

[@bodine2537]

Don’t think I can remember a Kindigit car that I didn’t like , literally ever car I’ve seen from him is exceptionally Top shelf, huge attention to small details hits big in the end result, think my favorite was the 68 chevelle he built for some guy who’s had Dave build several rides for him but that chevelle had so much power it was insane ,gotta feel blessed to be able to afford to have somebody like Dave build you a car of your dreams , this Cadi is awesome 💯👍🏼

[@rajnbull]

Used to own a 79 Coupe DeVille. You add me at Cadillac Shawn. And this thing is an absolute beauty love the paint. Stay gold!

I have one as my daily in the UK . Colonial yellow with matching top and leather interior. 19in Boyd's ,never painted zero rust 42 thousand miles.Running LPG ( half price of petrol) .

Such a incredible piece of art. To watch what people can come up with is truly breathtaking. Such an amazing eye for details and things that we can not even see. Just blows my mind.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. The level of detail is simply exceptional

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

@AutotopiaLA yeah what people can think of and then make it out of steel is a gift.

[@kens8903]

I still can’t get over the rims. Crazy build

Kindig it design car are awesome builds. Beautiful, My Father had 64 Caddie, love that look!! Great shoot Shawn. Thanks

[@TheMotorman80]

Ken builds some of the most beautiful cars, hands down!!

[@TheMotorman80]

Haha, I don’t know why Ken appeared but I meant Dave.

[@CyberDocUSA]

Something wrong with this man's Medulla Oblongata. I'm hooked! Don't change a thing. Dave has quite an eye for design.

[@AutotopiaLA]

He’s amazing with design and his crew nails it

[@FIGHTSEEN]

LOVE THIS. Not everything has to be about muscle cars. More well-built...properly stanced...confidently powered...LAND YACHTS. Congrats to the new owner...and I hope they drive it to nowhere in particular as often as weather and schedule allows. I can't imagine ever parting with this total babe.

[@greengrowcer2419]

Love Kindig's work

[@AutotopiaLA]

Really clean class work they do

[@donnis618]

Hell of a build and even tho it's an older build, I would totally rock this one!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Stunning cruiser for sure! Quality at every look

[@carlbeamon1343]

Love this 64’ since 1970 when I owned a Fleetwood of the same year. Owned several caddy’s but 64’ was by far the best ever produced for my money. This custom is Awesome and the steering wheel is original size wheel. Thanks

[@melvinburwell8202]

Great car. Great year. Year I was born. Beautiful custom design and color. Immaculate. Kindig masterpiece.❤♥🔥🔥🏁🏁

[@robertpolnicky7702]

That and the 67 Eldorado were my 2 favorite cadillacs.

[@hungryalien]

Shawn, stunning is an understatement for this caddy! love it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Words failed me on the beauty of this build

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

What a beautiful Cruiser I love it and I'm not even a convertible guy but I really like that awesome I built one lowrider it was a 69 Cadillac Eldorado people thought I was nuts it turned out good it was fun but if it bottomed out it would take big chunks out of the road have a great day I'll keep watching keeps me inspired I'm too old to build cars anymore but I can enjoy this thanks

[@dank3823]

When i was a 18 year old my friends dad owned a 65 Caddy hard top with a blown tranny. I dreamt of owning that thing. This one is beautiful. To me, nothing is more luxury than these old school Cadillacs.

[@AutotopiaLA]

They are pure cool and just make you want to cruise all day and night

[@undergroundgaming3172]

One of the nicest cars I’ve seen on here. Those gauges are gorgeous

[@audriusbaranauskas6227]

"Cruisin down the street in my 64". It had to be said.

[@richardwarfield7386]

straight as an arrow and that color is fantastic. Essence of cool

[@Misticmyst73]

It's always nice to see something different like this on the channel.. 2 thumbs up..

[@rickbullock4331]

Why would someone sell a car they had custom built to honour their countless Olympic Awards? Does he need the money or he just doesn’t have the time to enjoy the car anymore? Probably never know the reason. Kindig builds are gorgeous. The build quality is beyond amazing.

[@AutotopiaLA]

From what I was told he just never drives the car but I don’t know as I’ve never met Apolo

[@rickbullock4331]

@@AutotopiaLA ,sounds about right. If I could afford to have a car like that I would definitely want to drive it. I like Jay Leno’s outlook for his collection, he drives them all. It does help that he had and has a very lucrative career and can afford to have a facility with staff that can maintain them all. Leno is the ultimate “Car Guy” in my opinion.

[@viciouspoodle5543]

Some actual wood veneer in the interior like the Eldorado Convertible actually had in 1964 would have been nicer for the interior than how it was built. There was wood on the dash and center console for the bucket seat option.

[@flipppy83]

West Coast Customs built a corvette for Will-I-Am with whitewall wheels around 2010/2011 and in 2014 an episode of overhaulin used similar wheels on a 63 caddy

[@AutotopiaLA]

And my friend John did it recently on a 57 Chevy. They look so good!

[@josephmatuszak3855]

That is a fine fine fine ride! The wheels are mind blowing. I've had an idea floating around with a similar year Caddy with a LS V12 and Turbofans mimicing the whitewalls... (if you use my idea, and don't include me you'll need the universes most powerful voodoo priest to dampen the curse)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Won’t use your idea…don’t need voodoo against me lol!

[@Bloodcurling]

Came here to double check the usage of the words "big block" and Cadillac. At least that's correct, because it's a Chevrolet engine. You should clarify the title, people will start to think Cadillac made two engine block sizes. Only Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Buick did that.

Am I the only one that is annoyed by the design choice of the Olympic rings symbol at the end of the long thin chrome trim, instead of ice-skates?

[@AutotopiaLA]

I loved that touch and the gauges personally. Plus the amps with the airbrush work

[@dmax9946]

The Olympic ring gauges were awesome, just that one detail for me I thought was a missed opportunity

[@daleliske9757]

Yeah, not a big fan of the huge wheels. And now even with new trucks, 20", 22" , we've gone back to the 1930's . I'd rather have more rubber between the road and the wheels, than 1" or 1.5", then you have to have overly engineered suspension to get a nice ride. If I won the lottery, I'd have Kindig do a car for me. They just seem to have the best people with great talent. In the Era of Boyd Coddington, I would have picked a Dave Kindig car over theirs any day. Of all the car shows on TV, past or present. If I wanted a car restored, I would have sent it to Fantom Works. If I wanted a custom, kindig design.

[@jimk7882]

Great build but the wrong kind of car to have low profile tires on.
