Cadillac Powered 1956 21' Capri

Post by mogar » Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:34 am

Currently I am restoring hull number CP-21-144, have hull card.
According to the records of the 170 Capris of this model there were only 9 delivered with the cadillac engine. Of the 9 only 3 had the CM-300 engine, 300 Hp and two four barrels.
I got this boat about 20 years ago and it was all apart and now the puzzle is going back together!
None of the nine Cadillac powered boats are in the hull registry in the CCABC or ACBS except mine.
Is anyone aware of one. I can't believe mine is the only one remaining. :?:

dont know about that but if you are interested in engine info, i think that engine was also used optionally in the century coronado.

Send me a private email with your info and I will have a fellow that has one call you. I have a 57 19' Capri and a friend of mine has the 21' with the cadillac engine not sure if it is 57 or 58 model.
If you are coming to Mount Dora it will be there.
