ABANDONED Cadillac DeVille will it run after 20 years and DRIVE HOME? - Vice Grip Garage EP70 

Yup this is a good one. Gran Torino is fun too. Of course the Independence

This is probably one of my favourites. Love the De Ville. And it's a feature length video too. A guy could just get some cold snacks and get comfy and watch a guy get an old Caddy going. 😎

At least my 10th time...

This is the first vgg I ever watched earlier spring of 2020 just out of the blue watched it 2nd what classic 🍻

If I'm having a bad day I'll stop what I'm doing and watch it

Wow, thank you

Hollywood still makes "entertainment".... I thought it was just brainwashing propaganda..

This beat the transformers franchise that’s just a fact.

o

Agree. I don't think that was a light, but perhaps some kind of 12v meth pipe lol.

Agreed Hes mastered most of it and always tickled when he learns a new trick. I can relate to that

@@506mountainrenos100% !

Before 2cycle gas for the carb.

You found a keeper, for sure. I couldnt pay my wife to watch these videos with me. 😂

They had a live stream vehicle fleet update this past week. He mentioned the possibility of a restoration and maybe power tour next year for the Caddy..that would be cool.

@@Stahodad honestly with the amount of video hits he's gotten from that Cadillac, I think that's all the proof he needs that people want to see it happen.

My brother was in Nam and he bought my mom the 68 DeVille with his Hazardous Duty pay.. she loved that ole boat!!

Respectfully, I don't think it'll need a full restoration, it looks really straight and mostly rust free. After all mechanical/electrical repairs, weld in some patch panels on the lower front fenders maybe, match up the paint, spot repair and paint , also other small sections. Then after a deep cleaning, polish and wax and that car will look awesome and have a great story to tell wearing it's mostly original finishes/patina, which would be lost with a full resto. Retain the character, I'd say. Great car! PS: Please don't put loud mufflers on this cream puff. This thing is supposed to be nice and quiet! There's room in this world for a big, quiet but powerful caddy!!!

@@johnvalentine3456 Not to mention the carburetor bowl should probably be cleaned. After all that time, who knows what in there

jay west for real. My throttle stuck on my big block cutlass wagon and a guy ended up high fiving the side of a bridge. Just could not shutter down.

Lovely in combination with close to no brakes!

You know U R in 4 a shit storm when you are in the middle of a swamp with an old junk Cadillac and bad weather on the way. Life just doesn't get much more interesting than that.

THEKING SILVERADO shittt, it ain’t junk it got him home didn’t it

Ya gotta work it no matter how big no matter how hard ya gotta work it until the prick starts.

I think people have intentions... but laziness just gets the better of them as they procrastinate. It is a cryin' shame, but hey it gives the rest of us vehicles to rescue. Is there any better pass time in all the world? And Derek has made a living out of it -- more power to him!

foot slipped

Haha, I backed up the video a couple l'gmao at that part..😂

@@ViceGripGarage grass was wet, sun in your eyes

@@ViceGripGarage Sure, it did.

Lmao... 🤣🤣🤣👍👍

Lol "that's a going to town unit right there" 😂

Just run that through the washer

@@alex_8025 lil bit of soap will fix ya right up

That was awesome! Telling it "a little soap and you'll clean right up" haha. Perfect placement too.

I can't believe the truck died and your had no choice butto get that Caddie running. The comments are area hysterical! Then you got it running, which let's face it, was a long chain of miracles. The tires holding air was the first Of many fortunate events... Seriously best thing I've seen on your tube for a while,!!

That big brown one he got going too outa a junkyard we use to enter them in the crash up derbys up at rockyhill state fair in rhode island when i was a kid years ago those tanks would just crush everything but i never realized those engines were so good until i watched this guy just tinker with them im like NO WAY HE STARTS THAT then sure as shit he does😅

You are so right

Im not ashamed to admit this... Ive said that in some pretty poor situations.: No Brakes, in midwinter, I clap off the lines. Next day, Im runnin to work (have to stay in 1st gear, no higher than 2nd) for my whole ride anywhere. I get pulled over by a State COp for blowin a redlight. Cop is tellin me how bad Id be Ker-blewied... But I cant tell her, I got no brakes... She also only caught 1 knife. Ive got 3 and 4 pipes. Somethings... eh its fine.

Loving the "Red Green" vibe ;D

@@randymarsh1984 they look related

Not hurting for money

Just the way I love it: On the "edge."

@@jeffblacky He certainly earns every bit of it.

hahaah, Hes something else..

@@jeffblacky he earns every penny he makes from youtube. He's a damn good mechanic, & the things he puts himself through is more than these pampered kids of today go through.

YA I THINK HES RED GREENS BABY

Thank you

I agree it's great relaxed comedy but the guy is auto-smart!!

@@ViceGripGarage I wish I could do stuff like you... Cause with skills like that u could fix cars and sell the one's you don't want. Thanks for your hard work brother

He did have a few neat tricks we didn't have lol the gas-can primer n the thing zipped to the brake ha ha I keep saying Yessss it will crank, Yessss it will go up a hill, Yessss it will run ha ha this was hilarious but Kudos for saving one of GM's great cars, I picked up plenty at old impounds for 1 or 2 bills and cleaned them up n sold them a grand or 2 years ago. LOL Gotta Love the old American mades! (the good ones that is)

Astonished at the interior!!

"I dont know" if I do.

"I dont know" is my best one - Eeehaw, the donkey from winny the poo, sounds just like that...lol

That beer is a Minnesota Energy Drink.....

Lol it was a Diet Coke

Stops to buy liquor running low on gas lol

Awesome car

And only one front brake...

Thanks Michael

Lpl🤣😂🤣

Agree! I found him yesterday reviving a '69 Chevelle and driving it 500 miles ... ending with a burnout 😀 👍 Watching him work on cars is very entertaining and relaxing 😎

@@ViceGripGarage Best video of yours I have seen so far. Just getting started on the back catalog...

This guy has the best luck of anyone I ever seen....His cell phone from 2014 still works??????? woah... he must be Irish

thanks George

Wang bang comment!

Can't believe that I watched a guy tinker with a car for over an hour ....

Same.... same

I'm with ya.

@@bbhall020202 ll)) 0

Thicker than Shakira's Shakira's eyes. Jajaka

Haha!

He was driving and looking around everywhere like he stole it, lol

That's the carb cleaner

I wonder if the local authorities are already familiar with Vice Grip Garage?

@@chaosdemonwolf1 Had a police stop issue several decades ago where the perp left the price sticker in the window after he broke out of the sales room @3am.

Had a 66Fleetwood milage not bad of course it was the 80s

6 if you were cruising, marshmallowing down the highway. Derek’s testing on it 1-4 sounds about right

Imagine driving it here in Europe

I have a 76 coupe de ville with the 500 cubic inch engine. around town 9 MPG highway (at 65 MPH) 14-15 MPG. That carb could need to be rebuilt that could help a lot too. As well as a good tune up

Nice!

thanks bud

It needs a big set of bull horns for the hood ornament to finish it off

@@ViceGripGarage awesome ride, my grandma had one exactly like it. Fix this ol girl up the right way man and pimp this sucker around as your daily !!!

"BOSS HOGG"

Nice rescue 👍 of a classic 😎 her bones look 👌sweet deal .

thanks for watching Joe

What 1 liners? Oh I don’t know... brakes are not important hahaha, I agree brakes are for amateurs lol!

I was thinking the same thing! We need this guy on Motor trend tv!

I don't know....

Watch his earlier videos... get some good old cold snacks and popcorn. You’re welcome lol

Same. Was expecting part one and two

Thanks for watching!

Of course it's a long video, half of it was just from walking back to the trunk. lol

Laughing so hard at this comment , good one buddy :)

You know if the Chevelle is "Independence", my vote for the Caddy is "Enterprise" 🦅🚢🇺🇸

@@perotekku Booya, id say you nailed it!

😆

Best comment

I think you're right

That's whut i told um

Hes texan, I think. If he is he would also would have tried an AR15 to pull it out!

@@achievedian0943 he sounds North Midwestern IMO. I'm Texan, he doesn't sound like us 😇

Think he said Minnesota. I don't know. I think that's somewhere north of Mexico and south of Canada "just".

Minnesotan, check the address in the description. Not to mention I currently live in the Great white northern hell and yup... Lots of people sound like this

Address says Minnesota but I sure think there is Canadian in that vernacular and accent.

HELL YEAH!

Ashfeil it’s like he’s a car whisperer

Goud. Goud

*lowercase

Car whisper hahah

Commonly referred to as lowercase...

Couldn't agree more!

Had to test on it

@@ViceGripGarage haha I love it

I've only seen one car that he couldn't get moving. That brown f250. Only one hes failed at

Oh man, that comment was almost as funny as the Lightening Whirler.

🤣

SILVERRRRRRRR!

Beats any normal TV dross lol

Thank you 🤟

Gotta Test On It B4 you get To far 😂

my theory is .....if it cant handle a good booting .......its not worth fixin up !

Inspired me to finally change my oil that I'd been putting off lol

Highly agreeable.

Ha ha, my wife said exactly the same thing earlier today.

I was about to do a Google search to get the name right. Totally a Bob Ross!

Definitely

Or Red Green Show American syle!!!

He has one now. Roadworthy Rescues on Motortrend

well, because economy and stuff

@@ViceGripGarage Them 472s will take you anywhere you want, fast as you want, long you got a 100 gallon tank on board. Least them highway men left you alone

Pumping it out the return line helped, too

I think I averaged 10-11mpg with mine. 13 highway, 4-5 if racing Trans Ams and Mustangs with three friends in the car.

Facktree Betty White took some big snorts of b12

Derek will need a Go Fund Me for the fuel though. Who's in?

Really appreciate the compliment

Scottie sucks. Pure and simple.

if roadkill was still on youtube, VGG would be right up there with them!!!

@@ViceGripGarage You got something special man.

@@ViceGripGarage Thanks man. you deserve it you figured out REAL entertainment without mortgaging your home in the process. i see good things happening in your future....

He has a show on Motor Trend channel

And unlike other celebrities, he doesn’t make a jackass of himself in public. Seems like a great guy.

I noticed the bloody mary parts too.. stay safe

Thank you!

Vice Grip Garage you are very welcome sir. I hope to be able to do these things one day. A guy sure can dream.

exactly .. 90 in a wreck with three wheel brakes .

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

yes officer you did nazi that comin rite (beetle to gas station)

O

U

I got a touch squirmy when I hears that. Can't be dissin on Bob. He's wiry but he'll still mess you up. Happy Gilmore stills walking with a bit of a side shimmy.

a guy was surprised when he pulled into that neighborhood. a guys thinkin maybe its an old family home or the wife picked it?

LadyJessica861 yeah, no brakes

My neighbours worry about me.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wNZ1Jc1OHcs.html regards Paul

@@PaulDonovan mmmmm i'd be worried too, i hope its been de-armed lol ! i bet you get no neighbourhood disputes !

No he is from Minnesota sounds like

This man just doesn't care about nothing!!

"Gotta do the right thing" - Does the wrong thing

His humor is just to dang funny lol. Had to do the right thing, and like and subscribe.

He's hilarious, but let's be clear. He practices what he's going to say before he records it. But it's all original so we love it.

Awwnoldt laughs: " AGH AGH AGH AGH AGHH!!

Trying 😂❤️ to forget that urine smell myself kitty brand 2 litter's worth had me rolling with stings my nose.

Reminds me of a young Red Green...

Horatio Caine from CSI Miami.....LOL

It makes for a good running monologue.

That's what I thought too!😂😂

Was that an option or was it standard equipment

when he said it was a light I thought he is gonna get a surprise when he plugs that in

Same LOL!

Gotta wonder, are there any Mr Roger's style outtakes/ gag reel footage that will come to light some day and totally blow that Mr Calm everything is ok demeanor right outta the pond. ?

'she's hotter than 90's Britney Spears', thats another one Ive stolen from Him.

I almost fell in the floor on that one

Freal. Everything is all "just fine"

Me 2 cursing all time lol

Just watch some more of these trust me your new attitude will be “were just gonna pretend we didn’t see that”

I have a feeling he edits out our attitude toward car problems....lol

I've quit working on cars about 100 times.... Dang it

Thank you
