Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

427 375hp Cadillac, automatic, driving lights, cycle front fenders, dual Plexiglas aeroscreens, single sidemount, chrome wire wheels, Derrington banjo spoke steering wheel. Includes a period 331 Cadillac V 8 with dual quad intake manifold and T10 4 speed. Restored three decades ago and still shows sound paint, chrome, interior, chassis and engine compartment. Highly servicable and presentable with either the present 427 automatic or the 331 4 speed.

Market commentary

One of the most charismatic of all early American European hybrids and more Knobbly even than the Lister Chevy sold just before it. This is an opportunistic value in the short wheelbase J2, a good value.
