Found a Cadillac

I was looking around a warehouse the other day and found this sitting in the corner.

I forgot just how big these things are.

More metal in one fender than an entire Subaru

I for some reason am thinking blues brothers LOL

so your next thread is gonna be about how you just brought that home right?

that deserves to be resurrected. Buy!

What state?

Lose the side chrome, 3" chop and slam it..... Wash it and leave the paint as is...

Needs a Duramax.

That is a dammed good idea. With the right gearing, one (and five friends) could get 30 mpg at 80 in billowy comfort.

Seriously, I have thought about this. It's a BOF car. You could throw a Class 3 hitch on it, a set of air shocks in the rear, and you could do just about anything with that car if it had a diesel.

Can anyone Photoshop?

Move that rear window forward and scoop out the trunk making a pickup box. Caddamino! El Seville!

Instant 80's funeral home flower car!

A co-worker had a Fleetwood of the same vintage for sale last year. Talk about huge! It was his gandmother's and had very few miles on it. I had to pass because I had no where to put it.

This looks a lot like how fixed up his Keith's Cadillac, although different year and 4 doors:

As he bought it

Once he finished it

And there's enough room under the hood for 3 of em.....

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

For some reason that green one under lights reminds me of James May.

Theres a corvair visible from the street in an abandoned warehouse near me. The only thing between the street and the car is about 40 yards, and a chain link fence...its even paved all the way to the curb...I think all the time about how hard it could possibly be to run a cable to the bumper, winch it onto a tow dolly/trailer, and apply for an abandoned title...every. damn. day.

Those early 70's ones aren't as cool inside as the 1966 and earlier ones in my opinion. But they do have that big 472 or 500. There's one almost exactly like that kicking around my town. Every time I see it, it's in crappier shape.

A friend of mine was interested in buying my blue Caddy and stuffing a Caterpillar engine in it. He was too far away to make it happen though.

Throw some D's on that bitch...

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

My brother-in-law has two late 60’s cadilacs. One is sitting out in the field rotting away and the other (a convertible) is under so much junk in a garage that you would never know that there was a car there – much less one that large. I recently cabe across a video of a 1960’s caddilac with a turbo deisel out of a dump truck. It had the exhaust coming out of the front pass fender and blew so much soot that it was kinda funny. I wouldn’t want to follow it on a motorcycle.

How many hookers could you fit in that trunk!?!
