Had a few people who heard about this "low mileage" 59 Biarritz so I thought I would post some pictures and info on what we are doing to it.

I have about 50 pictures uploaded to   

https://public.fotki.com/cadcliff/

Hopefully the link will work. Will be uploading more pics next week as we get more work done on it.

Hey there Chris....

How are you doing...?

Keep...??? Probably not, as with most cars that I get. I would like to build my 60 Biarritz, factory Silver car with Red bucket seats and maybe keep one of the 4 Broadmoor Skyview Wagons that I have left. Sold one of the 56 Wagons last year as we were able to buy a nice 5 acre parcel with a 4500 sq foot garage for me to play in.

Have not put a price on it yet, still trying to figure things out and get the car fully road worthy.

If it were up to me I'd keep the 59 and sell the 60 but that's me.  ;)

Best of luck with it!

Wow Cliff. That is an incredible find. What does Bill Refakis have to say about that? 14k milage is lowest I've heard on a  Biarritz.
Owning a car like that could be a blessing or a curse.

indeed!    Can you post a photo of the body plate so he (and we) can track the body number?

Just out of curiosity. What would a car like sell for in a car auction? I know its anybody's guess, but I think some of you have a clear picture. Not taking into account some couple of billionaires both decided they want the car at any price...

Good question.

To quench your thirst for knowledge I would recommend that you travel to the Newsletter Section, select the 5960 Cadillac Chapter January 2017 1959-1960 Cadillac Price Guide.

Thanks Chuck. Interesting reading.

So a perfect 6467E would fetch around 270k. If this car is the low miles claimed and good to perfect condition the auction would most likely be around 250-300k? Not that I could pay that.  :)

very hard to say what the car would do at an auction. It is not a flawless car. It was used, driven and parked many times.
Colors are important, having the 4 options on the car is nice along with bucket seats.

I think 2 years ago at RM in Scottsdale and Black car sold for $390 with the commission. AND the seller LOST $$$.

I have heard a some selling overseas in excess of $400K.... All private sales on flawless 1000 point restoration.
