Supercharged 1960 Cadillac - Build Profile

The Bill Mitchell era of GM design represented some of the most striking and distinctive automotive styling of the century, with one of the most commanding presences belonging to the 1960 Cadillac. We wanted to continue this legacy in the form of Mikes 1960 Cadillac 'Survivor Series' build.
A full @Roadstershop 'RideLine' IRS/IFS based chassis provides the foundation for a whole new level of comfort, performance and safety befitting the opulence of this '60 'Survivor Series' build. A Magnuson Supercharged LS3 provides the power mated to a 6L90 trans. A host of custom touches throughout the build range from the 18" Evod industries 'Brougham' wheels to the period-appearing engine bay and sheetmetal work, to the incredible, full custom interior by JK Automotive Designs.

What do you think of this 60 Caddy? Would you do a road trip in it? Is it the ultimate cruiser / sleeper?

[@thenoob8182]

Nowadays, finding a relatively well done classic isn’t hard to do. Finding one with so much attention to detail, an eye towards engineering, and done so thoroughly is a true rarity!!! Beautiful build guys!!

[@bruceh92]

Yes.

[@popmazzoc3632]

YES YES YES AND YES. DEFINITELY.

[@kachmantv6559]

I'm just not a fan of the low-rider stance. Love the rest, beautiful work

[@tonywalker2334]

Less is more simply a stunning build.

[@I-Teee]

The engine “disguise” is incredibly well done.

[@skeeterbartleson3888]

That blue top and interior look fantastic

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

Those wheels and tyres are a great touch.

[@derpapito1391]

I work on classic Cadillacs and Lincolns every day. I knew something wasn't right with that engine bay, but couldn't tell until you showed it. This is a masterpiece of understatement. I absolutely love it 👍

[@robnarley]

A tasteful, quality build. I am typically not a restomod fan, but this is definitely not typical and I love it.

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

That interior is very impressive

[@choward5430]

If I were gonna build a classic car, something similar to this car would be just fine. I love the way you made the LS3 look like a 1960 390. Love the one-off wheels too!

[@badonkadonkskidz]

That air intake!!! I didn’t even know it was supercharged until you showed it. Amazing touches to an amazing car.

[@mikechandler2802]

I am completely speechless; everything about your work every detail of this vehicle and what has been done to it speaks for itself! Bravo

[@z06doc86]

What a sweet Caddy! Awesome!

[@vernoncobb5327]

I’m Drooling!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful. Great Work.

[@wingspan65]

That's exactly how a resto should be done....interior and dash are stunning!!

[@machpodfan]

Enormously fantastic outcome, what a great combo of old and new to make a multi-resonant one-off!

[@biffy7]

I was not interested in this video. I am so glad I clicked on this. Your team did an outstanding job. This is a beautiful piece of work. If GM were to build a this car today as a concept car for the 2021 Auto Show, this would be the target. It looks so “stock” until you take a double look and notice it’s lowered, then as you get up close you realize this ain’t stock. It’s a shame you can’t see the frame and fully independent suspension without putting the car on a lift, a work of art and science. The engine bay is a work of understatement, the amount of work to play tricks on the eye, well. I am impressed.

[@joe6096]

Every bit of this car is outstanding, but that interior is exquisite! I have never liked restomods unless they keep the essence of the factory car in tact, and you have done exactly that. Well done!!

[@CarguyEd5150]

I am in awe of this beautiful build and well done! The Roadster Shop just keeps getting better and better and I'm proud that they're in my area and building world class chassis and cars like this. I so wish I had the money to have had them do this to my 1977 TA, but for those who have the deep pockets to do this, you made a wise move in going with the Roadster Shop.

[@RoadsterShop]

That means a lot. Thank you!

[@erikhernandez7197]

This is Amazing. Thanks for keeping The Cadillac name Alive !

[@bruceh92]

Nicely done guys

[@FrescoyMembrillo]

you guys outdone yourselves with this one... congrats to everyone involved

[@MannyC711]

Now this is worth having! All modified with an original look!

[@bubbapipe]

That is un frigging real! Beautifully done.

[@extraplain]

This is one of the most beautiful vehicles I've seen a while. You guys did an excellent job. It's a rolling piece of art.

[@jimtrucksis1505]

Great Color & Trim choices. Fantastic build quality and integration.

[@m1a2abrams37]

You guys are gifted!! The details on top of details, and the homage to originality. This is really special. I would retire just to drive that thing everywhere as long as I wanted, (and could afford the gas :)

[@rudyoviedo9258]

Love the survivor series you guys do I’m definitely a Cadillac man

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

Yes they all. /so nice ,.I hoping to get one myself. One day soon

[@Karrguy1973]

Flawlessly executed!!!

[@repeatagain1789]

Man absolutely gorgeous all that extra technology they would be amazed to see this now in 1960 that's bad ass

[@jjjj66230]

Couldn't of made a better build With an unlimited budget You guys really did your thing💪🏾💯

[@timsharpe3498]

Kudos to the RoadsterShop and Bill Mitchel. Some designs are timeless.

[@RoadsterShop]

🙏

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO AND A GREAT BUILD. I LOVE EVRYTHING. A TIMELESS CLASSIC!!!

[@egarciaz71]

Now that is a Beautiful land yacht!!

[@sprezzatura8755]

Superb car front-to-back top-to-bottom inside and out! My preference would be for more of a standard ride height but she's a knockout!

[@jasonw8124]

Amazing, just amazing. Exactly how I'd want it!

[@luish777]

Excellent work , lots of horses in that beautiful boat.

[@DaraghsTube]

Holy moly. Gorgeous. Amazing quality and a classic, clean build.

[@ramenbo]

caught the spirit of the original

[@wurly164]

Thank you for keeping the whitewalls

[@GreyWolfe]

Very nice!!!

[@scottpaulson1714]

That interior is truly amazing

[@ruthlessreid9172]

Beautiful work.

[@derekcooper1796]

You guys did an amazing job on that Cadillac!! Love it!!

[@jayh9635]

Exceptional Job guys! I love the modern touches but it still looks factory! Simply Awesome! Doing something similar with my 1971 coupe deville!

[@CMule32]

Wow! Talk about amazing work done there!!

[@lawrenceklein3524]

As kids, a buddy's dad had a '60 Caddie, but not nearly as cool as this one! Nice job!

[@joe6096]

This is stunning! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@benznotmercedes]

Wow, I am glad i clicked on this. What a beautiful build and amazing craftsmanship, much better than the tasteless "restomods" you typically see of these cars. I have a 1960 Sedan De Ville and this was great inspiration.

[@sru1436]

Damn, that’s a bad ass caddie. Great job guys!

[@josephmcintyre752]

The Coupe of all Couples. The prettiest one, imo

[@jasongarey8329]

Stunning, inside and out. You all did an incredible job maintaining the period look using so many custom touches. Classy through and through. ❤

[@CJColvin]

Man thats one beautiful 60 Cadillac brother, that Supercharged LS3 sure is a beast.

[@C.S.86]

I just can say: PERFECT 👍

[@lkendrix7782]

I just can say, I agree! 💯!

[@boblongdickder6178]

This just gave me a idea about my 59 caddy convertible. Very nice !!!!

[@bghankhernandez]

wow great look love the way you keep it a lil OG but hid the 2021 new add ons my hats off to you guys on this build

[@stoneyswolf]

I liked it before you did your thing. My grandfather had an old Cadillac when I was a kid I can still remember the interior. Loved the smell and so comfortable.

[@dihydrotestosterone]

Awesome job!

[@NotStockPhoto]

Awesome as always

[@blackbolt3685]

This is a great example of what I tell ppl I would do if I had money to do cars my way,cause I love older cars,but,also like new suspension and performance technology,all my cars would be older cars with upgrades that doesn't take away from it's character,but,adds to it's ride/handling/performance,well done

[@lkendrix7782]

Very impressive! You guys get it! A Cadillac should look like a Cadillac! From the ground up and under the hood! That’s a Cadillac! When I get my next Cadillac I’m gonna be looking in your direction!

[@josephconsoli4128]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!! Man, you guys did a beautiful job on this one. I'm a stickler for details and didn't see one element that could've been done better. You mixed the stock look with modern technology and comfort brilliantly. I so envy the owner of this one!

[@robb8773]

Wow, love it! Period correct look but custom performance! I wish other guys would build cars this way!

[@rconley40]

THIS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! MODERN BUT STILL HAVE THAT FACTORY. Peroid correct.

[@JerkVegas86]

Beautiful Beautiful Build!!

[@JonBlondell]

Gorgeous!

[@Joeboost8805]

[@ragingpapist103]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[@kennethwood9025]

Superb in every way!

[@luish777]

[@SaneCayne]

[@doodlegoose2262]

Amazing looking ride

[@TCadillacM]

That engine is beautiful!!!

[@23727bgk]

Its perfect...as long as the roads are smooth

[@simcard027]

amazing work that is one beautiful car

[@ivanfrk04]

Those valve covers are awesome, I want those for my Cadi 64 6.0 SC

[@MrCrijns]

I called discovery channel. They are coming over to film you guys 🤩🤩

[@ErnstTCB]

Just beautifully fantastic! That is the car, as you built it, should be in production. I'd reserve one!

[@triplemotor]

Absolutely Beautiful....R S does excellent work....

[@jamesr.epstein]

I love it. Great job.

[@TL-wy1nk]

Very cool. Love it.

[@rasb1]

Looks like a million dollar build. Nice!

[@black_jackledemon6298]

If I were super rich I would build a custom Cadillac in this body style and a classic Continental 4 door. Would still probably be gas guzzling but I would mostly like just owning an example and just sitting in them really. They made some beautiful masterpieces in the past IMO.

[@davidwavidshmavider]

That’s just about perfect. Very reasonable and cool.

[@glynndove9511]

This is fabulous 😍😍😍

[@davebarron5939]

Brilliant! great car choice, great build. Just sorry I didn't see it two years ago, but Thanks.

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

I so want to build me a car just like this .. this is epic .. with a chassis like this. .. it’s so well done. Great car

[@jakespeed63]

Staggering attention to detail. Jonathon Ward, over at ICON, may need to up his game after seeing this. Interior changes alone worth the price of admission. Would love to take this for a ride to experience the feeling.

[@74creep]

great build

[@chrisrigoni]

perfectly done !!

[@Nick210]

Wish the exhaust was hidden a little better but man, this thing is absolutely perfect.

[@davidfriesen7748]

WOW ! That interior was Perfect and 800 h.p. doesn't hurt either .

[@jamesbeez]

Literally love thissssss

[@onebullet6384]

Nice Caddy...
