I Drive an ELECTRIC 1966 Cadillac with Nearly 1,000 Lb-Ft of Torque - Here's What It's Like! 

my Silverado shortbox !

Northstar cadillac's were turds with or without the engine.

Fastest way to get ev's on the road with spare parts available

12th gen eldorado EV conversion would be fantastic

@Fouzaan Noble I got a '59 Coupe Deville I'm thinking of doing

I thought the same thing🤔

Wow, it sure does. YIKES. Maybe they ran outta zip ties. :)

also those engines are weirdly weak for the size

It's an electric conversion. You shouldn't expect competitive figures compared to mass-market vehicles. These are mainly project cars and novelties, range or charging speed isn't too important to consider when a vehicle is built for fun.

​@@r3versingm4chine There are plenty of other channels that cover these conversions and do provide that information. I don't care if they are competitive and frankly don't expect them to be. Still...it would be interesting to know what kind of range they were able to build into a car that big. And with an asking price of around 200K I think people would want to know what the specs are.

@@r3versingm4chine At almost $300k for the car, I would definitely be interested in its technical specs. haha

It's quite easy to work out, you need about a 20kw battery to move a 1 ton car 100 miles so a 50kw battery (which that has) will move a 2.5 ton cadillac about 100 miles

YEA, IT SOUNDS LIKE CRAP, GREAT IDEA THOUGH, POOR EXECUTION, I HAD ONE OF THOSE, A 66 CONV, SOUNDED MUCH BETTER AND SOLD IT FOR 250 BUCKS..............SHOULD HAVE HELD ON TO IT AND CONVERTED IT, 45 YEARS LATER........OH WELL........TOMARROW 'S ANOTHER DAY, THE RANGE ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK HAS GOT TO BE AROUND 100 MILES WHICH THEY NEVER MENTION, VERY POOR VIDEO JOURNALISM, MORE LIKE A LOUSY COMMERCIAL

Watching the video with headphones makes it sound like a rattle trap. It definitely sounds as old as it really is.

66 Brougham is a epic classic

@@waterheaterservices it is truly a remarkable car and something definitely to behold throughout time itself and I'm very glad I got to get a car like this hopefully I'm able to keep and it in the family and if not send it to a close friend or someone I trust the most but in due time will tell

Yes, yes, yes...!

If it ain’t right paint it white Lmao

Im gonna asume the camera picked up wind noise and shook abit

@@basscwe11 Yeah I had the same thought. I hope that’s it or else it would be kind of a shame

Have you ever driven a 60’s caddy? They all rattle haha

@@bryangoyette5364 Sure haven’t, but I’d kill for the opportunity.

It’s an impractical novelty.

@@suspicionofdeceit I get that, but it's still $300,000. For that money, they could at least put more effort into its showing the car and not be so sloppy. Also, I just noticed the squealing and the cables dangling under the car. It all makes me wonder what else they're neglecting.

@@alanj7306 a gasoline engine would hide all of those noises

Hide it, not remove it.

True enough. Gotta start somewhere, though, eh?

@@patricksweeney6334 True but considering they are trying to push for electric cars, they are going to continue to get more resistance if they don't make it convenient and affordable. I got an 81 Seville 6L V8 I'm still driving and will continue to if those mfers don't make it affordable or put real infrastructure behind this ev push 🤷🏾‍♂️✌🏾

@@TheBlessedone37 Understood/agreed. I do honestly believe Tesla will get us there, both through its own cost-effectiveness efforts, and through the *need* that it's inflicting on legacy auto-makers to try to offer something large numbers of people will buy. That said... I think one thing people just don't factor in (because it's a bit hard to) is the savings involved in going electric. The obvious one is the cost of gas vs electricity (in most cases), but the less obvious one... is that maintenance costs go to practically zero. No more tune-ups, oil/tranny fluid changes, radiator flushes, replacement of this-that-and-the-other pump, no spendy "oh shit, I didn't replace my timing belt soon enough", etc etc. Some of that essentially gets translated into the cost of the vehicle up front.

@@patricksweeney6334 Bro it isn't affordable NOW that's the problem. Not sure I'm a fan of a company having the ability to shut off your car remotely or remotely being able to control safety features on your vehicle and charging you a subscription fee for standard vehicle safety features functionality. Not to mention if something is seriously wrong with the Tesla not having local dealerships and having to ship the entire vehicle to Tesla to be fixed. Not sure what's convenient or affordable about those options. 🤷🏾‍♂️✌🏾✌🏾

I can’t wait for some idiot to put a supercharger in a Tesla...oh wait someone already did?!?!

That's a s*** box

There are a few out there. Mitch with the zombie 67, aviar with the r67 c.f. bodied fastback, charge cars with their fastback 67. A few homebuilt one's here on youtube to. 👍🏻😎

Technically it's a Series 62, convertibles weren't called DeVilles.

Power train

Some people don’t like resto mods. No worries.
