The Cadillac V-16 (sometimes known as the Cadillac Sixteen) was ... powered by an engine simultaneously more powerful and smoother than any ... Bare Cadillac chassis could be purchased if a buyer insisted, but the intention was that few would need to do .... A good condition 1938 sedan can sell for under US$80,000.

John, there are two completely different models of V-16 ,s    WHich one do you want. Important differences for sure.

This is for a project car. Either 16 would work. Do you have one available? If you do please call me at 815-625-2500 Tuesday-Friday 9am-6pm central time

As you have probably noticed, there just aren't that many spare V-16 engines available of either variety.  The last one I saw for sale was over two years ago on eBay and the Buy It Now price was $25K.  It was the OHV version.  I wish you luck!   :)

Jeff,
Great point. I would have to assume that by now, those engines are worth North of $50K. It would be interesting to see if one turns up for sale. Just out of curiosity,  I wonder what happened to the original engine?

I have a feeling that there was no original V16 in the car that the required engine is wanted for.

There was a first generation V 16 engine and transmission for sale at Hershey last fall. It was beautifully done on a stand but for display only. It had no inside parts. Asking price $25K.   Harry

Give Dick Shappy in Providence RI a call. He had 8  engines on the floor in his shop last fall when I was there.

Yann shows this engine as attached to a 4281 style body #19 in his mth by mth production tables in the V16 pages. .

Can any one tell me what that style is? I can only see 4280 an all weather sedan.

A friend of mine (long time V16 owner) said his data shows that it was installed in a 7 passenger sedan delivered on June 5, 1930. He didn't mention what style number that would be.
