Will This Barn Find Cadillac Drive 500 Miles!!! 

Hell yeah man!! That things a BEUT

Your the only RU-vidr who replaced the bumper filler panels on one of those good job sir that caddie could be your power tour car definitely keep it very unique

I had a "77 Eldorado" I bought it from my aunt in 1981 for $500. It was Teal Blue with a silver landau top with black leather and Teal color keyed hub caps. It was pushing 85k mi. at the time. The car was powered by or should I say underpowered with a 425. Basically, it couldn't get out of its own way! The body was rust free and the filler panels were in good shape. Thinking about the rear filler panels, they all came with plastic chrome that started at the bottom of the horizontal portion of the bumper up around and over and ended at the gas plate door. The car had a hell of a goodie package including AM/FM/CB radio, factory alarm, auto locking doors when you put it in gear. Mechanically, I replaced both CV/half shafts and the soft close trunk motor. This would be the first of five Cadillacs for me. What an incredible road car!

The “epiphany” of a land yacht? The spirit of Norm Crosby lives on.

You're living the boat life now, baby!!! We have a 73 Pontiac Bonneville with a 455. She's a big beautiful girl with 80,000 original miles! Congrats on your new youngling. Take of your beautiful wife! Love you guys!

Was waiting for a good car video to post. Thanks John! Also, always loved the old Cadillacs.

Love these FWD Cadillacs . My grandfather had a 72 white on white black vinyl top. I can remember 4 adults 3 children riding comfortably id sit up front between grandfather and my uncle two ladies two girls in back. No drive line tunnel like riding on living room couch. 7 people comfortably riding down the highway. That baby rode so smooth.

With videos like this, you are well on your way brother! Looking forward to more. 🙏🏻👍🏻

I love how prepared you are

My 58 year old ass is late, but we have an upload from "RoboMulletCop". Love this kid, I really enjoy his uploads. Longer uploads are nice.

Awesome find dude, very nice land yacht! Thanks for sharing your adventures with this classic!

What an amazing find. Beautiful.

Awesome work! Always funny seeing this dude on junkyard digs.

This episode was one of your finest. The editing has come a long way. That car is b-e-a-u-tiful. My inner electrician has to make this comment. A switch is on or off but a sensor can give a range of units

That is a beautiful car.

The El Dorito

THANK YOU for putting new filler panels in. Nothing bothers me more than seeing these old yachts with lake-sized gaps between the body and bumper. As for the passenger side not fitting right in the front, having that corner meet a tree at around 5 MPH would probably solve all of your problems

I really like seeing old iron put back on the road, back to work, or back to fun on your channel.

What a perfect Caddy. Love it!

Awesome. So fun to watch , after seeing all the work you did! Good to feel part of your journey.

What a Cadillac!! So glad your fixing on her. Always liked these year period, models. More videos, of this Cadillac please.

I love big old cars

Hell Yeah John, love these 70's land yachts. 👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥

"Let me pull it out for ya" 95 feet of car and 5 mins later...love it

What a great car. Love the host hair cut too. Looks so 90's Beavis and Butt-Head. Very retro and cool.

Good score. Be happy its not the 4-6-8 nightmare. Tint it out on airbags, and you'll be pimpin in style.

Definitely power tour

Talk about a pump mobile 😂 looks good!

I had a 78 caddy eldorado with a 500, man the stories!

She's a beaut john !

First time watching you. You are very fun. I enjoyed it!

Good looking car! Get that AC up and running!

Definitely a beautiful car man

This is f***in' great! Cheers from Bavaria.

Lots to learn my man and you have a good start, no other way to do it, take it from a man who has been turning wrenches for 60 years.

what a sweet ride hope to see more stuff brother glad i found you with help of kevin and mook

Nice machine!

Awesome to see you were able to drive it home! I’m glad I was able to help you keep her running, thanks for the shoutout!

25:19 didn't know I was going to be seeing any CAKE today

I wanted to comment after seeing you install the temp gage. If you ever install an oil gage in that car or any car in the future, do not, I repeat do not use the plastic line that comes with most gouges. Those lines melt and or break in the future and start pouring oil fast and with lock up engine before you have a chance to save it. Instead buy the same size metal line and never worry about it again..

the smile at 21:07 says it all bud, great job, diffnelty be proud of the work ya did

Commercials every 4:00 of content... greeeeeedy!

You need to make more videos, man I like watching your videos

Doing great John best one yet

I was just in that neck of the woods while you were up there. Had my 1971 Starcraft Pop-up out camping.

The video was great! Your channel is one that has videos I can click "like" on before I watch them. You have fun, which makes them fun to watch.

The transmission and front wheel drive line is the same as the Oldsmobile tornado. Its essentially a modified Turbo-400 and very sturdy.

Now you just need to color match and re fit the body fillers and shell be perfect

Now i know why my grandpa wanted one. Just glide down the road....

hi mate im from england and this is my favorite cadillac...i would silicone all the gaps in the fender fillers and paint them the same colour as the car...it would look a lot better...all the best from UK

Pimp daddy caddy!! Get it big boy!!

dont beat yourself up those body fillers look great, once you get them painted to match then you'll be proud of yourself. Good job that car is a one of a kind. love it.

That car is amazing. Love your videos like always man

The fillers on the back might fit better on the newer 77-78 with the rear lights

The fact that you didn't use foam for the bumper fillers, almost killed Dalton, you know that right? 😂 Looks good man, love to see some content from ya.

Nice pick shined up nice ,cool

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!❤

What a beautiful car…. 💯 Great job.

I have a 72 Eldorado convertible. My baby. Welcome to the club. Stay pimpin.

😂 Every time I see you on a channel I always remember the traffic cone. i have been calling you Cone Head every since😂😂. I didnt know you had a channel though, so I'm glad I came across this video and glad to subscribe here as well.

Goodness, she's stinkin gorgeous! My dad always had wine taste with a beer budget when it came to cars growing up so we always had some old Caddy or Lincoln in the driveway. I learned how to drive on an 85 Fleetwood 4 door, took my driving test on a Toyota Echo... Nailed it 🤘

Love them full size caddies. Don’t knock em till you drive one

Look at the room you have by the firewall! Wow

Beautiful car!! That thing really does shine

Love me them Cadillacs!

Sweet it's in great shape 👌🙏♥️😎

Good to see you again. Cool car. Your work looks just fine (I ain't no mechanic!) and happy to see you got new windshield wipers :) You're a cool dude and I'll be looking for you again soon.

What a GREAT FIND Those body fills are a pain fore sure Maybe when you get them painted the body man can fit them better. I've had a couple of these over the years and coupe devilles. you have the 425(501) engine in her. It doesn't like to run when its cold-You have to set the Choke-Spring 2 notches to the rich side (towards the firewall) that's what they like You should only need 1 pump cold start I noticed the old guy ( orig owner) has the headlights all out of wack. I adjust mine so it fits the contours of the headlight surrounds. That usually works. She is a great car You will get many miles-years out of her . ENJOY Cheers from Calgary

Thanks for the video. Nice Caddy.

Sweet Ride. Wish you luck, especially trying to find a fuel tank for it. She's a keeper. That's the car you should drive your newborn home in for memories sake.

i like the look how it came out with the black fillers

I almost feel like it would be nicer / easier (probably most definitely NOT easier) to just shave back those silly 5mph bumper extension nonsense things the government forced auto makers to put on vehicles back in the 70s.. I think the fillers look nice - way better than a giant gap, but man.. it would look pretty sweet shaved back to to actual body front and back, slim those bumpers down and get it to the car.. SEMA mode engaged! Haha I'm must teasing though, but this is one of those jobs it's nice to have an old timer around because they dealt with all this crap back in the day, maybe they have some tips for lining things up.. either way what a score on that Eldog, beaute of a car!!

Awesome video! 🎉 Thanks for the content!

Great job on the video definitely like the road trips

Great work, you may have to join the owners club to get info on good aftermarket filler panels. Love the Coors hat too. Bravo

We all struggle with GM body fillers. Especially Cadillac ones. Don’t feel bad. You never know which ones to buy, which ones fit the best etc. A big ol’ crap shoot. I usually try to find ABS plastic ones over the fiberglass ones. Good purchase BTW. I like it. That grille cap is straight sexy

Some pretty good jams for royalty free music.

oh yah! just choochin' in the 'ol caddy bud. :D great video

Just picked up a 75 olds toronado with the 455 white with blue interior. Beautiful cars the eldorados are beautiful to .

I’ve seen those vehicles do wild neutral drop burn outs or a quick reverse to drive burn out

FWD? Well why Not? Nice survivor🎉

im here for the revive and drive.

Nice car and congrats on the little one man

My dad had a 73 convertible he had to take this workbench out garage just fit it in I love the pants and the look

Dude, love the dad shoes.

Nice Beast! I've got a 68 Deville. Awesome car, I get offers to buy it every day!

Great vid btw

I have a 1970 Eldorado and those flat front floors are great. Lots of room and a good place to sleep. If you want those bumper fillers done correctly you need to have a pro body guy put fiberglass ones on for approximately $3000+.

Those body fill in panels look fine if you’re looking at them from an opposing traffic lane at 45 mph during a heavy rain storm or a blizzard

We stand in awe of the fanciness of your 4th of July pants. Only in a truly free country can you wear those, as anywhere else the ruling class would jealously hoard them for themselves.

great job good find🤟

have a few more beers and you wont notice the gaps.

great video and great car hope to see more of it

If it was my car i would cut and tucked the bumpers up against the body , them gaps is crazy . Otherwise great job!! Love your vids ! Have a beer about it !!

Great video, work and car, loving the old caddys😎🔥

When it struggled to start I expected him to get out and say “oh I forgot, that’s why I’m here”

That bumper probably has shocks in it. Meaning it would be no problem to pull it back out into place who could do a tree and back up shine it to a tree and back up Those bumpers can be easily adjusted, especially if the shocks are shot.

Nice work man. Great content and enthusiasm.

I remember getting yelled at by my grandpa for slamming his easy close trunk like that lmao

Sweet deal. I live in Duluth, fun to see you in my neck of the woods!
