For Years this poor girl has been an open-air bathtub. No wonder the interior and floors are gone. If only someone could have properly covered and protected that interior, so much would have been saved. Look at how she runs. That car was built like a tank. Looks beautiful.
Yay A new NNKH Video! Makin for a great Saturday morning all ready! Awesome old Caddy! My Grandmother had a 68 Coupe Deville she bought it new in 68 And it was in the family till 93 when she passed, Loved that car Granny had the interior all redone with new leather and a new top put on it! The gentleman who bought it still has it to this day. Keep up the great videos and I know it takes a bit to film an episode I for one appreciate the time you take to do it! Have a great day! Hello to Jen and Gus and last but not least Turbo!
I recently received an unexpected inheritance from an old auto parts here in my country. I'm sure you'd freak out to see all the things I have here, new and untouched from 80s and 90s. I love your show. Keep it up!
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in 83.While there, I bought a 74 Ford Thunderbird. It was wider than the roadway. I sold it to a very happy Brit before i came back to the states.
Nothing drives like an old Caddie, just incredibly smooth and powerful. Hope someone fully restores this sweet old gal, she is a real survivor and runner. Wanted to comment on your cat, Turbo, he is so beautiful and quite impressively large. That is one BA cat, love Gus too.
Liked the music for your drone shot at 44:00. One man's trash is another man's treasure. This Caddy is a super cool find. Would look good black or in that original Atlantis Blue. Maybe fix the Fred Flintstone floor panels though! Lol
The marine batteries only have a 1 year warranty, and you can divide the marine cranking amps by about 1.25 to get the cold cranking amps. The marine batteries are rated at 32F and the car batteries are rated at 0F.
@@thesmallenginekid That's the risk you take when using a battery in a role it was not designed for. If it fails in that role, you have no warranty. And I never go more than 4 years on a car battery anyway. I replace them before they let me down.
Shock therapy, I've been saying that for decades. You're the only one I've ever heard say it 😋. I had a 67 Fleetwood brougham god I loved that car, and it was fast. I believe it had like 365 hp it would fry both of the rear tires from a standing start! I believe the 429 was a better engine than the 472 had a few of those in my P.U. truck. Great video !!
That’s cool Chris, the one my friends mom had was like a maroon red and a off white vinyl top! Rode so fine brother, you talk about cruising machine but we were around 10-15 years old during that time! You talk about fine interior to, I googled it and that brought back memories! I’m 62 years old now and I’m living in Lake Charles Louisiana and my buddy lives in Tennesee! Thanks for sharing and bringing back some memories for me Chris, I always enjoy your videos and Jenn , you,Gus and Turbo! Sending prayers for y’all! Kirk from Louisiana! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don't have much right now but that's because you inspired me to go out there and try to do my own thing! It's been a blessing and freedom. Thank you! Finally just became a member.
Thank you tons! We started a 2 man construction crew and are almost done with our first house. We needed some work money maker trucks so Best buddie and I bought 2 manual 4x4 rangers 98 & 00 within 24 hrs had to drive 5 hrs into Oregon for one. Wasn't sure if we would make it back. But we planned good. Honestly don't know if we would have had the confidence to do that without your videos. Thank you sir🤘
I love the diesel creek shirt at the end. You guys aren’t that far away from each other. I’d love to see a colab between you two! That would be the best video ever!
y'know, most people only see the edited final product of a video, not the getting out of the car to move the camera for a shot, or the swearing at the car when you mess something up. Kudo's to you my man. found you're channel a few months back and oh boy is it a ride! Thanks brother!
That would be a fine candidate for a complete restoration, the price you mentioned seems pretty fair considering the fact that you've driven it around and it runs and drives and stops. Great video Chris and it's always nice to see the animals happy 👍✌️🇺🇲
That things beautiful dream car right there , love your videos Chris not joking your my favourite UA-camr to date! Love that your shed is full of bits and pieces that you use and need thanks for the content :) love from Ireland
Our old American made cars seem to last for decades even if parked outside. What gets me is with a little bit of tinkering around and a solid battery, they start up and idle. Even tires as old as grandpa can still hold air and drive around without having a blow out.
Definitely salvageable, weld in new floor pans and trunk pan. Would have to get a better look at the frame but I think it could be brought back to life with a little love and elbow grease. Nice video, I enjoyed it !
@@wyattblackwood3927 Some don't have $10,000 to put into a wreck. Some should spend the money on their families or something else. I've done similar projects and the time spent goes through the roof. Often someone will start and give up and then pass it over to someone else. A little paint won't get the job done. I have a TR 6 that has'nt been on the road in 15 years. Its in far better shape than this car. The mice have taken it over. And you can get most parts for it. Passion and love can be eaten alive by reality and crap.
@@rogersmith7396 I'm not sure what all your hostility is about I'm just saying not everything has to turn a profit, if you don't have the money then don't start a project it's a simple as that but crying about it isn't going to fix anything. Right now I'm dropping a lot of money and rebuilding an 85 Ford F250 into an absolute Beast and it'll never be worth what I'm putting into it but it's for my own personal pleasure. I've seen a lot of people waste time sitting around watching sports or just watching TV, which I think is a complete waste of time, personally I'd rather be out in the garage building my truck or working on my bike or my boat, something productive. You have a good day !
The Maine trailer plate jumped out at me seeing as I live in...well Maine!😂 Gotta admit the Cad is kind of a pile but trying to get any old car back going is worthwhile! Good luck!
I love your videos great photography skills drone shots you go the extra mile on great shots I can't imagine how far you would go with a proper shop to work in Gus is a great addition.I also love your positive attitude no matter how bad the car looks you see rusty gold.
I watch all your episodes. Non-mechanical dude here from the other side of the state, but love to see your passion for old cars. I love to see you fix them up. Keep up the good work
That’s the trunk’s “soft close” mechanism, where you softly close the trunk lid one click and the electric motor draws it down the rest of the way, so you don’t have to slam it. The whole strike plate pops up when the trunk is opened, and retracts when it senses the lid is closed. Definitely a staple on old these old Caddies and Lincolns - probably appeared on Imperials too, I’m just not well versed in those. Newer luxury cars incorporate the same idea in the doors as well, if you’ve ever seen that.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Theres no electric motor, thats the solenoid release. The mechanism is spring loaded and cocked by the trunk hinge via a PTO cable. I could see the cable on the passenger side hinge.
I'm pretty sure there was no soft close back then. There's likely a button in the glove box that pops the lid, but it doesn't assist with closing. Those came much later.
@George Caddy’s weak point was a cheap piece of plastic that bridged the gap between the fin and taillights. Around ten years it would start to rot off in pieces!! More if garaged. Most people wouldn’t repair it and it looked like 💩
I’m like you, I have a Toyota T-100 (predecessor of the Tundra), 5VZ, 5 speed 4x4 and a 2005 6 speed Duramax. I have definitely worked the Toyota way harder for many more years. 362k absolutely love that truck.

Marine batteries are usually built tougher, with higher CCAs. The starter batteries are designed to give a quick burst of power for starting, but they tend to drain a little faster when used with accessories.
Agreed, except it’s MCA or Marine Cranking Amps for marine batteries. Marine batteries generally are not designed to crank in as cold of temps as car batteries are, therefore the difference in terms CCA and MCA. As to why they are so much cheaper IDK maybe less demand?
@@corydriver7634 Yeah, the difference in CCA is what lowers the price. Marine batteries have thicker and fewer plates than an auto battery. Probably cheaper to manufacture because of the higher tolerances.
We just love the trips in America, you show us more than the National Geographic Channel down in Melbourne Australia, just love the Gran Torino Elite episodes.
Yooo viewer from Brazil dude I never knew a massive American car would use sparkplugs made here much love from Brazil have a blast with that big ass cruiser
Again i learned something else from your vids. Guss's cameo's -priceless / credit for not making Jen feel bad about smashing the door against the trailer wheel guard lol happens to us all;)
I am not surprised but it is a big ass mess. You are much braver than I am. Good Luck Young Fella. If I brought that home the words from my wife would not be allowed on You Tube. Wow !!! What a Project!
Hello Chris and Jen. Well the Engine does sound real good compared to how the car looks.. On the truck mechanism , when all of that is working properly you never want to slam the trunk lid closed. Just close it gentle until you hear it latch and then the mechanism will draw the trunk lid down and tight.
This car is sure to be amazing after a proper restoration. These American ships have an impressive personality of their own. Here in Europe, specifically in the Czech Republic, these cars are rare
WOW, just amazing that you brought this ol girl back to life. My aunt and uncle always drove Cadillacs, they were from Dallas, long gone now. Keep up the great videos, very interesting.
Rodger that on the effort ! I enjoyed seeing this Caddy come back to life. The 472 lit up without hesitation, once Chris sussed out the ignition. I like the "shorts" at the end and gives that touch of being a part of the family.
@@jeffrobodine8579 Cool. Thought I heard him refer to a 472 but must have been talking about another year. I think he should name her "Martha" even if he sells it.
It’s truly a beautiful thing to see these classics saved from fading away.
There's a point of no return.. fun to watch
Indeed it is. Cool car in its prime
I agree!
@@THROTTLEPOWER kkkkkkk
I'm so tired of every new car/truck/suv looking basically the same. We should have kept making cars people liked looking at rather than cars that do less damage when they hit pedestrians...

You're doing an outstanding job saving vintage vehicles before they end up as scrap.
Hello from England, gotta say im jealous of the amount of good looking classic V8s you have to play with. Great content as always
I hear you, anything that old around here is not worth touching :P (Sweden)
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in 83.While there, I bought a 74 Ford Thunderbird. It was wider than the roadway. I sold it to a very happy Brit before i came back to the states.
i'm sure you could do a "will it run" on a 1980 Mini Metro for a few hundred quid!
If i had the space here in manchester id be dangerous buying these old v8's!
Nothing drives like an old Caddie, just incredibly smooth and powerful. Hope someone fully restores this sweet old gal, she is a real survivor and runner.

I love those older vehicles. They have so much more class and style than the new plastic garbage of today.
I love that Black Chrysler, Classic Cruiser for Sure & Definitely a Sweet goin to Town Rig
He's enjoying the car right out of the gate. Not waiting around for it to be restored or perfect. Best of all...it's a Cadillac! 😆
I love those old Caddies.
😂 I watched that ol girl roll off the trailer a dozen times and was still laughing. Love seeing the nitty gritty of the work you do!!!
How is that NOT the most rewatched part of the vid??? [I'm on my 6th time watching and laughing]

Hello Chris and Jen. Well the Engine does sound real good compared to how the car looks.. On the truck mechanism , when all of that is working properly you never want to slam the trunk lid closed. Just close it gentle until you hear it latch and then the mechanism will draw the trunk lid down and tight.
I drove a 67 Coupe Deville while in high school. Great cars, great memories.
This car is sure to be amazing after a proper restoration. These American ships have an impressive personality of their own. Here in Europe, specifically in the Czech Republic, these cars are rare
13:28 So satisfying to see how dirt and debris gets washed out
This was a great video, I love old Cadillacs... I forgive you for getting rid of the jeep now lol
WOW, just amazing that you brought this ol girl back to life. My aunt and uncle always drove Cadillacs, they were from Dallas, long gone now. Keep up the great videos, very interesting.
Cadillac Convertible.....some assembly required 😂
Awesome stuff Chris 👍
The fender skirts make these models look so much better too bad she’s so rusted out.
I'm looking forward to the time where you can get a good shop and a big plot of land so you don't have parking issues for at least a few months.
Love the channel! You are the eternal optimist! "Not too bad in here..." the trunk is rotted...but not too bad! Love it.
That old caddy still sounds healthy
Great video and I’m so happy to see somebody using the leaf blower instead of taking forever with a vacuum 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
That would be a great project! Runs good too.
Rodger that on the effort !
I enjoyed seeing this Caddy come back to life. The 472 lit up without hesitation, once Chris sussed out the ignition.
I like the "shorts" at the end and gives that touch of being a part of the family.
This 1967 Caddy has the 429 V-8.
@@jeffrobodine8579 Cool. Thought I heard him refer to a 472 but must have been talking about another year. I think he should name her "Martha" even if he sells it.
@@jeffrobodine8579 Bored 390 from the 50s. Pretty decent mpg, 18-19 Hwy.
The dude needs his own show lol can learn a lot from him
You are literally watching his show, though. lol
