There were 25,675 1962 2-door Coupe de Ville Cadillacs produced, which sold for an average retail price of $5,385-00 US dollars.
My Caddy came with a 390 cubic inch (6.4 litre) engine that put out around 325 bhp (243 kw) with 430 ft-lbs (600 Nm) of torque. This pushed the old girl to a frightening top speed of 122 mph or close to 200 kph. Drive one at 65 mph (105 kph) and you'll know first hand how frightening 122 mph would be. The fuel economy figures were officially listed as "Who Cares".
My big old land yacht measured 10'9" (5.6 meters) from nose to tail and was a svelte 6'8" (2 meters) across the girth.
The two places in which I was able to source most of my part from were Dbaer's Cadillacville and Caddy Daddy.There was also a bit of help from Original Parts Group and the Modified Cadillac forum.
