ABANDONED 1969 Cadillac - Will it RUN AND DRIVE 600 Miles After 32 YEARS?

2021 ж. 9 Қыр.
7 222 809 Рет қаралды

This 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was left to rott on a unknown property, then eventually went through what we believe was a estate sale. Since then, it's been sitting in a grass field. It's been off the road since 1989! Do you think I can get it running and driving, and make the 600 miles journey home? WATCH AND FIND OUT!

I’m amazed at your son and how smart he is. You’re doing a great job as a father too. I have an old Chevy that I had all but given up on and with the arthritis I have had the perfect excuse. After watching some of these videos, I have dusted off my Taiwana Socket set and got my ass outside and hooked up the chargelator and juiced her up and then…I BROUGHT THE THUNDER 😄 🇺🇸 I share all your videos with my two sons as well.

Funny watching you drive her home, i noticed the headliner is still up and attached. I have a 2007 pick up truck and the headliner is all but completely hanging down.

Already got the fabric ripped out just need to figure out how to get the padding thing back into place. Stole my tires off my 91 deville and replacing the carburetor and then I can at least be comfortable to drive it around. Drove it probably 40 miles home just a few weeks ago when I bought it.

    • @Owen Tighe Each state is different. The title, registration, plates, insurance, headlights, tail lights, brake and turn are all required. I live in Denver, Colorado and they quit the safety inspections when the emission tests became a requirement. Too much cost for the consumer. I see police cars with cracked windshields all the time that would have never made it past a safety inspection. The police can stop and ticket for an outrageously broken windshield as well as bad tires and the like but all 3 of mine have cracked windshields. In the winter, if you travel in the mountains you must have appropriate tires and big rigs must have chains on board. We get tickets for expired plates on our own property, if in site, and it costs much more to register the vehicle the longer you wait after it is expired. Some states are much, much, much less restrictive.

If it has the 425 or 455, those were some very good engines for their time. I'd really like to see a revival on that one. All the best to you and your family.

I smiled when I saw the brocade upholstery with the leather trim in the video - same as my Dad's Caddy!! The dash, steering wheel, controls, all as I remember. Brought back memories. GREAT car. It had one of the biggest engines, even for the time - 472 cubic inches or 7.7 litres. 375 horses, endless torque. Last model year before pollution gear was installed on US cars and power output fell off. My Dad had his for 5 years before selling it to a friend. We had this car in Edmonton, Alberta, through cold, cold winters and hot, buggy summers. Excellent heat, A/C like a meat locker when we drove it through the summer heat waves in southern British Columbia. Lots of highway driving around western Canada. Great long distance car. My favorite of all the cars my Dad owned.
