A newly-acquired '71 Cadillac that is as charming as she is distressed. This car deserves to be saved and driven. She's going to need some work, but it'll be worth it.
1980 Cadillac Sedan de Ville - Should I even bother?

The 1980 Cadillac Sedan de Ville is not a desirable car; project cars, even less so. A nonrunning project? There's, maybe, me that is interested in it and you who's here watching me mess with it.

    Nice find!! I agree with you, it's just about as 'base' level a Coupe Deville as you could get. I'm betting the driveshaft missing is one of the biggest reasons it exists tho, otherwise it'd have been used up. She'll clean up beautifully, acres n acres of that nice yellow!

    • @DraculasCars
      @DraculasCars День тому

      Now that the driveshaft is back in, I'm going to get the fuel tank installed and see about getting her to stay running. They likely pulled the driveshaft to trailer the car down here 30-something years ago and never reinstalled it.

    • @jamesthompson8008
      @jamesthompson8008 День тому

      @DraculasCars Here's a quick idea that may help: Try a quick shot of pressurized air into the tank(like from a tire Cheetah), say 40 - 50 psi, to somewhat pop the tank back off the pick up on the sending unit. Might or might not work, but short-term, it's a lot cheaper.

      They're very simple cars; regular maintenance and use will keep them around for years. That one sat for nearly 20 in utter neglect and came around. You should have no problem. Replace all the rubber as well; belts, hoses, etc. and you'll have a reliable car.

    You didn't make that pass safely at all in the Lincoln. If I'd been that oncoming, I'd be p***ed and scared because you were forcing a really stupid risk situation. I see the same dumb stuff daily during my commute and it often results in bang- ups and injury due to impatient or rash reactions and the lack of situational awareness. If you travel farm or rural roads, you deal with slower vehicles rationally. You exhibit really stupid driving skills and you're lucky you haven"t hurt anyone yet. .
