“I met up with Ryan (Friedlinghaus, CEO of West Coast Customs) and he seemed like the guy that could do it and make it right,” Kid Rock said in a recent episode of the West Coast Customs web show.
The 1975 Cadillac Limousine featured an MSRP of $14,557 upon its initial release and it came equipped with a V8 engine rated at 210 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. In addition, this RWD limo weighed 5,842 pounds straight from the factory, featured a wheelbase of 151 inches, and also provided a 27 gallon fuel tank.
Modifications made to the musician’s old-school Cadillac include a Deep Black paint job, black velour seats with gold stitching, a new stereo system with two eight-inch subwoofers, shag carpeting, and a moving partition with a 32-inch television. The custom shop also slapped vogue tires on the Caddy, as well as dressing the exterior of the vehicle in gold trim.
“I throw the term ‘bad ass’ around pretty loosely,” said Rock. “This car screams 21-feet of American bad ass Detroit cool.”
