The owner/builder of this car Rick Abate as been a family friend for years and it was a blast shooting with him and his Sinister Cadillac last weekend. I've seen this car at multiple events since it's completion and I'm so glad I finally got to go for a ride with Rick and talk through the details of his one off custom Caddy known as Sinister.
Enjoy!!

I love when someone just leaves the original body lines and look of the car and just does upgrades mechanically. This shows respect for the design from that era. You can take a brand new car and chop it up to make it they way you want it but it's not the same car. By leaving the beautiful original body, it really elevates the Caddy. It looks like silk on wheels.💙

@levrone0075 4 года назад

The work with the front and back chrome sections is incredible! I've always been fascinated with the subtle detail

@storyteller1749 4 года назад

This is probably my favorite episode to date. I LOVE old Caddies!! Especially 60's to about 72,73. Now...is this one a DeVille a Calais....? I'm guessing Deville. But with the modifications its a little hard to be sure. Its awesome that they didn't use any bondo. Everything filled with welds. The entire body straightened with hammer and block. That is some serious craftsmanship! So freakin impressive. The use of the exterior trim on the interior...very creative idea. Love it! Great great episode.

Thanks again!! I appreciate you watching what we do. This is a wonderful build and done right!

I personally like hearing the dollar amounts. Really sends home the immense time and dedication put into one of these cars. I love that blue, what color

@AutotopiaLA 6 лет назад

Mike A. Seems like a lot of people feel the same so I’ll continue to keep that in the breakdown of these builds. I appreciate the feedback.

@blackbolt3685 3 года назад

It's a sweet ride regardless,some of the same ppl who talk about $$ amounts are the same ppl who would spend thousands on one shoes/clothes article (I definitely do not get that),so,it is what it is,just depends on what you be into,and,what you willing to do to make it happen 🤷🏿‍♂

@marcelomacedo5512 2 года назад

That was a real treat. "Badass" was the word I kept thinking of but it doesn't characterize how awesome the car truly is. Priceless is priceless. With that said screw the $$$ amounts. Most people can't even begin to relate with what it is all about. Down with the doubters, haters and sour pusses. Keep doing what you do so well. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

@AndrewPhillipsqualityassurance 6 лет назад

i really appreciate the information that I gather when watching your videos. I think you should continue to push the envelope when it comes to video content and quality. I like hearing how much this stuff can run you. (costs on builds) Why? because in a way, It gives us regular guys a source of reference, so when we talk/think to about what needs to be done to our own vehicles, we can be prepared for what it MIGHT cost. Sean, No one else on the internet shares that kind of information with their viewers....and THAT alone, is what makes your videos and content more interesting. I like that the vibe always seems laid-back, casual, and on point. Hopefully someday, one of my rides will be in one of your videos. Until then, continue to keep it real. Later man. Peace

@AutotopiaLA 6 лет назад

Andrew Phillips hell yes! Thanks for the compliment and input and I’ll continue to detail these cars including dollars spent. I’m one of the regular guys too bro. Looking forward to building something with one of my “expensive” builders soon!! I really appreciate your support and feedback. Truly!

@AndrewPhillipsqualityassurance 6 лет назад

that's why i always say, "ballpark estimate" because there's a huge range from 10,000 to 1,000,000. I believe that it LENDS to the appreciation factor.

@letlive8014 2 года назад

I concur with the majority in asking for the cost breakdown. I really appreciated the explanation of the otherwise 'stock' looking bumper. A very subtle change, but one can assume it took a ton of work to make sure it so smooth. To the neophyte like myself, I'll bet the 'show quality chrome plating' cost a bundle as well. One suggestion, could you do a more detailed evaluation of the car? It would cover the assumed upgrades to make it handle at today''s expectations. Chassis, brakes, engine refinements all would be included. Thanks for considering this lengthy comment!

@Robert8455 5 лет назад

I love that color and that beautiful Cadillac. I know the lowered look is all the range but it looks like it rides like a buck board now cause ya'll were kind of bouncing in your seats. I had a 67 Fleetwood when I was a 16 year old my dad bought me for about $600. I think it had a 472 CID motor, power vent window front and back and would pass everything but a gas station. Seeing this Sinister brought back good memories.
