1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

It almost fits in the parking spot. And puts SUV's to shame.
I'm pretty sure the 472 cubic inch motor weighs more than a lot of new cars.
:rockit:

Global warming... :flipthebird:

I hadn't even owned it 24 hours yet and the seller has already called about buying it back.

Absolutely none. I'm going to slowly restore it. Which won't be that much work considering the condition it's in. The stereo hidden under the dash(I'm going to hide it in the glove box) and FlowMasters already on it are as much customization as I'm gonna do.
In my opinion cars from this era are already about as perfect as they're gonna get.

6,500. The condition it's in though, he could have sold it for closer to ten, easily. I pointed this out to him after we deposited my check in his bank.

It has a little rust starting to push through the paint on the lower quarter panels and some in the truck. The motor isn't as pretty as it once was. But that can be fixed with some love, sand paper and paint.
The weather stripping is dry and starting to crack. The interior is as perfect as 40 years would ever allow. And the motor runs strong and starts with a single key turn.

No, just riding on the original 40 year old suspension.
Old vs. new, I could compress those springs by hand. I could fully stroke the shocks by hand.

Sweet *** Caddy....WOW-quite a difference in those springs.....

LuSe4 · Aug 10, 2011

LOL! I thought someone had lowered it before. Major ride height difference. It must be like night and day to drive it now compared to before. Looks sweet.

Completely different. With the old springs the stance was bad ass but the ride was just bad. The new suspension the stance ain't quite as good but the ride is amazing.

Sweet buy t-bagg, pics of it next to the 2 door?
I know you probably don't wanna hear it, but will you put some bull horns on the hood and drop it and do some sweet pinstripes on her'.
