@@ViceGripGarage I wish I could do stuff like you... Cause with skills like that u could fix cars and sell the one's you don't want. Thanks for your hard work brother
He did have a few neat tricks we didn't have lol the gas-can primer n the thing zipped to the brake ha ha I keep saying Yessss it will crank, Yessss it will go up a hill, Yessss it will run ha ha this was hilarious but Kudos for saving one of GM's great cars, I picked up plenty at old impounds for 1 or 2 bills and cleaned them up n sold them a grand or 2 years ago. LOL Gotta Love the old American mades! (the good ones that is)
This is probably one of my favourites. Love the De Ville. And it's a feature length video too. A guy could just get some cold snacks and get comfy and watch a guy get an old Caddy going. 😎
I'm both laughing and crying at this video. I'm a 65 year old woman, and this was our family car in 1975-1980. My father was born in 1911 and had a full service garage. He adored the engineering of Cadillacs. Thank you for caring about this wonderful old car. It's worth restoring, I think. Vice Grip Garage, you have the passion and the knowledge to do it. Plus the youth to do it. Do you think you'll restore her?
They had a live stream vehicle fleet update this past week. He mentioned the possibility of a restoration and maybe power tour next year for the Caddy..that would be cool.
@@Stahodad honestly with the amount of video hits he's gotten from that Cadillac, I think that's all the proof he needs that people want to see it happen.
Respectfully, I don't think it'll need a full restoration, it looks really straight and mostly rust free. After all mechanical/electrical repairs, weld in some patch panels on the lower front fenders maybe, match up the paint, spot repair and paint , also other small sections. Then after a deep cleaning, polish and wax and that car will look awesome and have a great story to tell wearing it's mostly original finishes/patina, which would be lost with a full resto. Retain the character, I'd say. Great car! PS: Please don't put loud mufflers on this cream puff. This thing is supposed to be nice and quiet! There's room in this world for a big, quiet but powerful caddy!!!
This is the video that untroduced me to VGG. It is still my favorite video. Me and my wife watched all of his rescue videos to date in a marathon after I showed her this video.I watch this video about once every 2 months. Such a classic.
I can't believe the truck died and your had no choice butto get that Caddie running. The comments are area hysterical! Then you got it running, which let's face it, was a long chain of miracles. The tires holding air was the first Of many fortunate events... Seriously best thing I've seen on your tube for a while,!!
Agree! I found him yesterday reviving a '69 Chevelle and driving it 500 miles ... ending with a burnout 😀 👍 Watching him work on cars is very entertaining and relaxing 😎
Im not ashamed to admit this... Ive said that in some pretty poor situations.: No Brakes, in midwinter, I clap off the lines. Next day, Im runnin to work (have to stay in 1st gear, no higher than 2nd) for my whole ride anywhere. I get pulled over by a State COp for blowin a redlight. Cop is tellin me how bad Id be Ker-blewied... But I cant tell her, I got no brakes... She also only caught 1 knife. Ive got 3 and 4 pipes. Somethings... eh its fine.
I always appreciate Derek's calm, cool and collected demeanor and mood throughout the many obstacles that occur during his automotive mechanical/operational recoveries. his sense of humor is also very good-natured. You rock, Derek!
You know U R in 4 a shit storm when you are in the middle of a swamp with an old junk Cadillac and bad weather on the way. Life just doesn't get much more interesting than that.
This is why I love UA-cam, a guy retrieving a seventies Caddy from a field is not something you would normally get to see, and so funny as well, subscribed.
Watching for 23 minutes, I thought“ how long is this vid?“ yeeeees! One hour! Thank you for not chopping it up in a trillion parts! Cadillac from the 70‘s ...so much more Yeeees! Thanks from Germany!
This was the first VGG episode I watched because I too found my own 1969 Cadillac Coupe Deville "Betty White" outside a barn in MA. I want to thank you for sparking my need to get out there and appreciate and rejuvenate classics left for dead.
"You even could two-step on this hood all night long!" You, sir, are a poet! And of course you are the grandmaster of neologisms, replacing them with whistles when you run out of them. Most impressive. Some fearless wrenching, too, as the channel title implies.
Coming back and seeing Betty White the first time that Derek saw her and rescue her… and seeing the adventures that she has been on since and how she came back to life… it brought a tear to a fella’s peepers for a sec there…
I’m sure Betty would’ve Appreciated being compared to a Cadillac Deville. She probably drove One and her younger days.😂❤ Hey Derek, do mechanics have good insurance Medical that is?😊
Lately i've been finding myself skipping right past Hoovie, Scottie, Doug, Tavarish etc and head straight to Vice Grip Garage. Great Stuff Man!!! Keep 'em coming! Really love these get er running then jump in and drive her home vids. Couldn't get over how clean those seats looked....
@@ViceGripGarage Thanks man. you deserve it you figured out REAL entertainment without mortgaging your home in the process. i see good things happening in your future....
Minnesotan, check the address in the description. Not to mention I currently live in the Great white northern hell and yup... Lots of people sound like this
Gotta be honest here Derek, I don’t really re watch UA-cam videos, but this is like the 5th time I’ve watched this. What’s a feller to do when waiting for that Independence Chevelle update haha. This is certainly one of my all time favorite videos on this site. There is just something about the overcast, remote location, and your commentary that just makes a guy laugh. Thank you for these videos, they made a bad day a good day I tell ya.
Gotta wonder, are there any Mr Roger's style outtakes/ gag reel footage that will come to light some day and totally blow that Mr Calm everything is ok demeanor right outta the pond. ?
I kept rewatching the ride home 🤣🤣🤣 imaging I'm one of the other drivers. You feel the air around you begin to rumble and wonder if there's a plane about to crash on top of you. Suddenly a loud 1970 Cadillac covered in mold goes flying past you at 90mph leaving a cloud of white smoke for miles. A few minutes later you drive past and see it sitting on the side of the road while he refills the passenger seat gas tank. Then a few miles down the interstate you hear it rumbling up behind you again 🤣🤣🤣. The little comments he's making a long the way about cops & people thinking they were gonna pass him, this is all priceless. And what he's doing seems like a noble cause as well. How could you not enjoy this.
Took my drivers test in a 1972 cadillac coup deville back in the early 80's. Loved that car! Grand pop used to say "jump in and lets go burn the carbon out" and we would do about 120 mph down the super highway. Good times!! Cheers!
It's gone 1am here in the uk and I'm watching these awesome videos. Honestly the content is quite brilliant, and the comedy timing is excellent. Having had my share of classic cars I certainly appreciate your work
Absolutely love the stop at the liquor store with no tabs, no brakes, fuel tank in the passenger floor and gas line out the window! No officer I haven't been drinking yet, yes I know my tabs expired in 01, yes I know my front wheel is smoking I just bought it last year!
@@chaosdemonwolf1 Had a police stop issue several decades ago where the perp left the price sticker in the window after he broke out of the sales room @3am.
I'm going to be 53 this July, and I teared up a few times watching this. I'm an old motor head. Had 4 1970 Caddy's. One I restored to show car condition. Met my first love in my 2nd one cruising her up and down the pike, in my early 20's. The 3rd one I had, ( the show car ) I built WITH HER out of 3 1970 Coup DeVille's. You're a soul after my own heart man. G-d Bless.Thank you for the trip to my past, and thanks for saving that sweet old Caddy.
@@cyruss_j Cruising the ( car ) up and down the pike girl. Not the girl :-P That girl was ( my girl ) no one else's. And the Caddy her and I built together, was a 1970 Coupe DeVille Show Car. Turquoise Blue, with a white top, and Mint White Leather interior.
This car is a bit older, and is a convertible, mine wasn't. But my Caddy looked a LOT like this one. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1454547018050187&set=a.1415326068638949&type=3&theater
Well I’ve come back for a second look after a few years, now end of 2024, wow how time flies, even imported a VGG Tee shirt to “down under” Australia. Don’t know how I found VGG channel but been watching ever since EP70 and I never thought Derick would get that Caddy out of that field, but what do I know? 😜🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘p.s. Merry Christmas!
I just can’t believe it that those old cars come to life so easy , that’s a testament to the American quality if anything ❤ love your videos just found your channel and it’s great 👍🏻
I got a touch squirmy when I hears that. Can't be dissin on Bob. He's wiry but he'll still mess you up. Happy Gilmore stills walking with a bit of a side shimmy.
I've got five minutes to spare and then I'll come back to it later. An hour later I'm still watching, sitting here on the couch trying to talk myself out of starting another video. These are great. I'm not addicted, you are!
I never get tired of watching vgg,my wife will sit with me and watch 😮..Mind blowing..after watching I feel like working on my vehicles...nothing wrong,just feel like being under the hood...when it's all over...I just put air in the tires😅
58:48 "I've got the interstate right here and I'm going to teach this thing how to run like she's never been taught" the facial expression and gripping the steering wheel like that had me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣
Just found this channel and it's great! I have never laughed so hard at your "backyard mechanic" antics! 🤣 The "duct tape and bailing wire" stuff reminds me of the quick and cheap repairs I learned how to do in autoshop in early 70s. My teacher was a old school mechanic and taught us how to clean out a carburetor without taking it off. You probably already know of these tricks. Spray her down the STP carburetor cleaner, vise clamp off the fuel line, run the car until the float bowels were dry, then throw 4 or 5 mothballs in the gas tank that was only about 1/4 full. Wait about 15. Release the vise grip. Crank until engine started. When the float bowels got slammed with the naphtha in the gas it would flush the needle valve and seat. Not to mention the intake valves. Another trick was for clacking hydraulic lifters. Try pouring about 8 oz of automatic transmission fluid in the oil. Most of the time it would clean out the dirt in the lifter and quiet down. I learned alot of backyard mechanic tricks from that old guy. I used to do all my own work on my cars, rebuilt engines and tranmissions (and I miss it) but now I have too many health problems to get under a car now and besides, cars are so D....M complicated now you can't do anything on them anymore without $25,000 worth of test equipment!
That big brown one he got going too outa a junkyard we use to enter them in the crash up derbys up at rockyhill state fair in rhode island when i was a kid years ago those tanks would just crush everything but i never realized those engines were so good until i watched this guy just tinker with them im like NO WAY HE STARTS THAT then sure as shit he does😅
This is the first vid i ever watched of you. I cant believe it's only 65 minutes long. It's packed full of entertainment. Independence and Betty White......still my favoritist It's like Smokey and the Bandit. No matter how many times you watch it, it never gets old.
So happy for your success. I simply can't figure out where you get all the time in a day, and all the energy to do what you do. Epic props to you Derek, sincerely.
So anyone else have. Dwight Yoakam‘s “long white Cadillac” playing in their head when watching this? So of all the cars you got Derick, I think this girl needs some love. Really cool old caddy. Rock on! 🤘
Great show. My wife and I were laughing at your clean sense of humour. She had a big Cadillac Coupe De Ville years ago and loved it. This episode brought back some good memories for her.
Greetz from Germany. I really dig your kind of humor, think you're one kind of your own there. Just cannot believe how entertaining and even helpful your content is. Just please keep up and i wish you best luck with all your next lost cars.
This isn't my first episode I've watched today but, i just wanted to say that, I love your content, your humor, your accent, and when you say "yea, that's fine, nope. " I couldn't imagine doing what you do on a daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly basis, but I do love watching your "misery" while trying to be optimistic.
I have a 76 Eldorado that belonged to my Dad since 78. I'm always amazed it will fire up and drive me around. It only has 83K but so many years on her. I was started to wonder about seals and such but this vid has reaffirmed my faith in the big old sled. Awesome as always to ride along.
I have a 76 coupe de ville with the 500 cubic inch engine. around town 9 MPG highway (at 65 MPH) 14-15 MPG. That carb could need to be rebuilt that could help a lot too. As well as a good tune up
I think people have intentions... but laziness just gets the better of them as they procrastinate. It is a cryin' shame, but hey it gives the rest of us vehicles to rescue. Is there any better pass time in all the world? And Derek has made a living out of it -- more power to him!
Absolutely enjoy every thing that you produce. You can tell good down to earth people by spending a little time with them. I would love to do what you do rescuing awsome old cars and I get to every time I pull up the next video and go on another trip and adventure . Definitely enjoy the one liners and comedy. V.G.G is awsome channel. Thank you!!
Wow, two awesome things there - how well made that 1970 Caddy is and how awesome your car resurrection skills are - really never gets old seeing you bring those beautiful old beasts back to life!
You just can't kill those Old 472 cid engine's I have transplanted several of them into old vehicles that I wanted some cheap horsies in I put one in an old school bus I bought without an engine and another one into an old 69 Chevy van that came with a 6 cylinder mounted in between the driver and passenger seats that was an awesome build it had a driveshaft 3 inches long and I couldn't get a big enough radiator into it to keep it cool I could make it work with today's technology. That little van could do wheelies and that's how I was able to trade it for a 78 Trans Am yes Derick sure takes me back to my youth when life was alot simpler and whatever I could come up with I had my family's Auto salvage yard as a toy box and if I was being creative I had the support of all the mechanics and my parents
@@samaro5647 You sir have a set of outstanding skills - those sound like amazing projects and I think there is no replacement for that kind of mentoring! Those projects you mention would have made great videos today! I'm hoping it's possible to pick up some of these skill late in life - even a simple project would be a lot of fun so long as I don't blow myself up LOL!
2 years later and still one of my favorites. Im a sucker for big cars. Ive owned a 76 impala, 78 Coupe Deville, and a 73 Lincoln mark IV over the years. Loved um every one.
The Hennepin Ave 1970 pimp cruiser......."Hey Ladies, want to go skinny dippin in Lake Calhoun? I got pastel straws and a blanket".."and bloody mary mix.....
A testimony to how well automobiles of this era were built in your country. Here in the UK cars were rusty before they were painted! Also, your vast knowledge is admirable for being capable of resurrecting these land yachts is no small feat.
A testimony on a bullshit video. I'm amazed you people are so gullible. If we pretend for a second that he truly repaired this guy then we have to also believe the went on an illegal drive with no state inspection, registration, insurance, or valid plates with a car that has the brakes held together with zip ties. What a joke.
I love that old girl... Just cannot imagine it has 24k miles, but, the seats and interior say yes... I think you got a gem . Curious where you go from here with her..
I had a gorgeous 1968 sedan deville in the early 00’s. I was the second owner. It was gold with a black vinyl top and black leather interior. 472 big block. Everything worked, power seats, mirrors, everything. I should have never parted with it.
I grew up in one of those. It was my Dad's all time favorite car. We went 500 miles to see the mouse in 73. 2 parents, 6 kids - ages 9, 6, 4, 2,1 & 1 (twins). Are we there yet?
I’m officially a fan. This guy is hilarious and he knows what he’s doing regardless of what comes outta his mouth 😂
Thank you
I agree it's great relaxed comedy but the guy is auto-smart!!
@@ViceGripGarage I wish I could do stuff like you... Cause with skills like that u could fix cars and sell the one's you don't want. Thanks for your hard work brother

Yup this is a good one. Gran Torino is fun too. Of course the Independence
This is probably one of my favourites. Love the De Ville. And it's a feature length video too. A guy could just get some cold snacks and get comfy and watch a guy get an old Caddy going. 😎
At least my 10th time...

Respectfully, I don't think it'll need a full restoration, it looks really straight and mostly rust free. After all mechanical/electrical repairs, weld in some patch panels on the lower front fenders maybe, match up the paint, spot repair and paint , also other small sections. Then after a deep cleaning, polish and wax and that car will look awesome and have a great story to tell wearing it's mostly original finishes/patina, which would be lost with a full resto. Retain the character, I'd say. Great car!

No tags, doing 90 on free way drinking a beer, my favorite guy ever, "nahh its fine"
Just pinp juice lol...
That beer is a Minnesota Energy Drink.....
Lol it was a Diet Coke
Stops to buy liquor running low on gas lol
Awesome car
And only one front brake...
“I’m gonna teach this thing how to run like it’s never been taught!” Cracked me up!
Still one of my favourite revival videos!
I love everything Derek does, but I think this is gonna forever be my favorite episode.
Same here. I think this is just his masterpiece. I´ve seen it a dozen times already. Best Regards from Germany.
He had a few extra errands to run…comes back from the liquor store! Classic, “I’ll be dipped”! And, he’s got a good looking woman to boot!
“Can a guy just get er runnin and drive her home” is my absolute favorite series. I love it when you do this.
Thank you!
Vice Grip Garage you are very welcome sir. I hope to be able to do these things one day. A guy sure can dream.
Gotta be honest here Derek, I don’t really re watch UA-cam videos, but this is like the 5th time I’ve watched this. What’s a feller to do when waiting for that Independence Chevelle update haha. This is certainly one of my all time favorite videos on this site. There is just something about the overcast, remote location, and your commentary that just makes a guy laugh. Thank you for these videos, they made a bad day a good day I tell ya.
Gotta wonder, are there any Mr Roger's style outtakes/ gag reel footage that will come to light some day and totally blow that Mr Calm everything is ok demeanor right outta the pond. ?
I kept rewatching the ride home 🤣🤣🤣 imaging I'm one of the other drivers. You feel the air around you begin to rumble and wonder if there's a plane about to crash on top of you. Suddenly a loud 1970 Cadillac covered in mold goes flying past you at 90mph leaving a cloud of white smoke for miles. A few minutes later you drive past and see it sitting on the side of the road while he refills the passenger seat gas tank. Then a few miles down the interstate you hear it rumbling up behind you again 🤣🤣🤣. The little comments he's making a long the way about cops & people thinking they were gonna pass him, this is all priceless. And what he's doing seems like a noble cause as well. How could you not enjoy this.
You have a channel here that's way better than almost everything that's ever been on television. Good stuff.
He has a show on Motor Trend channel
And unlike other celebrities, he doesn’t make a jackass of himself in public. Seems like a great guy.
Took my drivers test in a 1972 cadillac coup deville back in the early 80's. Loved that car! Grand pop used to say "jump in and lets go burn the carbon out" and we would do about 120 mph down the super highway. Good times!! Cheers!
Derek tasting the oil always reminds me of Yukon Cornelius checking his pick for gold.
Oh man, that comment was almost as funny as the Lightening Whirler.
🤣
SILVERRRRRRRR!
"nmmm nmmm nmmmm....... Nuthin!"

It's gone 1am here in the uk and I'm watching these awesome videos. Honestly the content is quite brilliant, and the comedy timing is excellent. Having had my share of classic cars I certainly appreciate your work
Who the hell is this guy? He had me in tears. One liners are just epic 😂
thanks for watching Joe
What 1 liners? Oh I don’t know... brakes are not important hahaha, I agree brakes are for amateurs lol!
I was thinking the same thing! We need this guy on Motor trend tv!
I don't know....
Watch his earlier videos... get some good old cold snacks and popcorn. You’re welcome lol
Absolutely love the stop at the liquor store with no tabs, no brakes, fuel tank in the passenger floor and gas line out the window!
No officer I haven't been drinking yet, yes I know my tabs expired in 01, yes I know my front wheel is smoking I just bought it last year!
Haha!
He was driving and looking around everywhere like he stole it, lol
That's the carb cleaner
I wonder if the local authorities are already familiar with Vice Grip Garage?
@@chaosdemonwolf1 Had a police stop issue several decades ago where the perp left the price sticker in the window after he broke out of the sales room @3am.
"I need to take it easy" just cool down a bit.. floor's it 😂 fantastic
Had to test on it
@@ViceGripGarage haha I love it
This is the video that got me hooked on VGG 3 years ago and I’ve watched everything on the channel since then. My favourite channel on the UA-cams.
His dry humor is very comical. 5 stars for the impromptu stand up.
No he is from Minnesota sounds like
This man just doesn't care about nothing!!
"Gotta do the right thing" - Does the wrong thing
His humor is just to dang funny lol. Had to do the right thing, and like and subscribe.
He's hilarious, but let's be clear. He practices what he's going to say before he records it. But it's all original so we love it.
This man is the "car whisperer". A miracle man. Now we know why Derrick gets millions of views. Everyone wants to see if this car kicks his butt.
I've only seen one car that he couldn't get moving. That brown f250. Only one hes failed at
This is the first time I've ever watched an hour and five minutes of anything on UA-cam. "It's fine."
Can't believe that I watched a guy tinker with a car for over an hour ....
Same.... same
I'm with ya.

That never stops to amaze me. Hearing her speak again, so smoothly and nicely after being tuned is just epic.
I bet that 3 ton floor jack of yours was questioning it's life when you rolled it under that aircraft carrier.
Laughing so hard at this comment , good one buddy :)
You know if the Chevelle is "Independence", my vote for the Caddy is "Enterprise" 🦅🚢🇺🇸

I'm going to be 53 this July, and I teared up a few times watching this. I'm an old motor head. Had 4 1970 Caddy's. One I restored to show car condition. Met my first love in my 2nd one cruising her up and down the pike, in my early 20's. The 3rd one I had, ( the show car ) I built WITH HER out of 3 1970 Coup DeVille's. You're a soul after my own heart man. G-d Bless.Thank you for the trip to my past, and thanks for saving that sweet old Caddy.
@AcomNews Dude, I'm 52 and I'm NOT old! I'm just a young person in an old person's body. But, I have had 4 major open heart surgeries plus others...😀💞
What about #4?
So you were a pimp?
@@cyruss_j Cruising the ( car ) up and down the pike girl. Not the girl :-P That girl was ( my girl ) no one else's. And the Caddy her and I built together, was a 1970 Coupe DeVille Show Car. Turquoise Blue, with a white top, and Mint White Leather interior.
This car is a bit older, and is a convertible, mine wasn't. But my Caddy looked a LOT like this one.

This guy should be in the next "FARGO" sequel. He would steal the show.
Well I’ve come back for a second look after a few years, now end of 2024, wow how time flies, even imported a VGG Tee shirt to “down under” Australia. Don’t know how I found VGG channel but been watching ever since EP70 and I never thought Derick would get that Caddy out of that field, but what do I know? 😜🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘p.s. Merry Christmas!
Since I've discovered VGG here in the UK, my boredom has been turned right round! Love these vids 👌
Man when you cracked that box open I thought for sure you had yourself a pocket pleaser 5000.
That's what I thought too!😂😂
Was that an option or was it standard equipment
when he said it was a light I thought he is gonna get a surprise when he plugs that in
Same LOL!
100% would love to see this turn into a project car. Get it cleaned up and you got yourself one hell of a yacht.
Derek will need a Go Fund Me for the fuel though. Who's in?
I just can’t believe it that those old cars come to life so easy , that’s a testament to the American quality if anything ❤ love your videos just found your channel and it’s great 👍🏻
Frame more brittle than Bob Barker, I got no stemmage, Derek just more classic quotage, Perfect!
Your videos are really a hoot, keep em coming! 👍👍
I got a touch squirmy when I hears that. Can't be dissin on Bob. He's wiry but he'll still mess you up. Happy Gilmore stills walking with a bit of a side shimmy.
“I need to take it easy” *floors it around the corner with hardly any brakes*
Gotta Test On It B4 you get To far 😂
my theory is .....if it cant handle a good booting .......its not worth fixin up !
I've got five minutes to spare and then I'll come back to it later. An hour later I'm still watching, sitting here on the couch trying to talk myself out of starting another video. These are great. I'm not addicted, you are!
Thanks Brad
I'm not addicted u r 🤣🤣🤣👍
I never get tired of watching vgg,my wife will sit with me and watch 😮..Mind blowing..after watching I feel like working on my vehicles...nothing wrong,just feel like being under the hood...when it's all over...I just put air in the tires😅
58:48 "I've got the interstate right here and I'm going to teach this thing how to run like she's never been taught" the facial expression and gripping the steering wheel like that had me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣
The dry humor while resurrecting pant loads is absolutely perfect
Just found this channel and it's great! I have never laughed so hard at your "backyard mechanic" antics! 🤣 The "duct tape and bailing wire" stuff reminds me of the quick and cheap repairs I learned how to do in autoshop in early 70s. My teacher was a old school mechanic and taught us how to clean out a carburetor without taking it off. You probably already know of these tricks. Spray her down the STP carburetor cleaner, vise clamp off the fuel line, run the car until the float bowels were dry, then throw 4 or 5 mothballs in the gas tank that was only about 1/4 full. Wait about 15. Release the vise grip. Crank until engine started. When the float bowels got slammed with the naphtha in the gas it would flush the needle valve and seat. Not to mention the intake valves. Another trick was for clacking hydraulic lifters. Try pouring about 8 oz of automatic transmission fluid in the oil. Most of the time it would clean out the dirt in the lifter and quiet down. I learned alot of backyard mechanic tricks from that old guy. I used to do all my own work on my cars, rebuilt engines and tranmissions (and I miss it) but now I have too many health problems to get under a car now and besides, cars are so D....M complicated now you can't do anything on them anymore without $25,000 worth of test equipment!
i want to learn more from you lmao
Man I miss these style episodes. This is what got VGG off the ground. Maybe we'll get back to it more regular.
That big brown one he got going too outa a junkyard we use to enter them in the crash up derbys up at rockyhill state fair in rhode island when i was a kid years ago those tanks would just crush everything but i never realized those engines were so good until i watched this guy just tinker with them im like NO WAY HE STARTS THAT then sure as shit he does😅
"Lets just drive a un insured un plated car with no brakes across town" hahaha
exactly .. 90 in a wreck with three wheel brakes .
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
yes officer you did nazi that comin rite (beetle to gas station)
O
U
This guy is Like the bob Ross of fixing cars
Highly agreeable.
Ha ha, my wife said exactly the same thing earlier today.
I was about to do a Google search to get the name right. Totally a Bob Ross!
Definitely
Or Red Green Show American syle!!!
One of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen.
Thank you
This is the first vid i ever watched of you. I cant believe it's only 65 minutes long. It's packed full of entertainment. Independence and Betty White......still my favoritist
It's like Smokey and the Bandit. No matter how many times you watch it, it never gets old.
There's something about how you say, "I don't know,", just gets me. I like it. I'm always waiting for it.
thanks for watching David, glad you enjoy
he say "i don know" i hear "everything will be ok i'm here with you"
David Scott that’s sounds a little gay bro 😂
So happy for your success. I simply can't figure out where you get all the time in a day, and all the energy to do what you do. Epic props to you Derek, sincerely.
So anyone else have. Dwight Yoakam‘s “long white Cadillac” playing in their head when watching this? So of all the cars you got Derick, I think this girl needs some love. Really cool old caddy. Rock on! 🤘
This car should be named Dwight.
Great show. My wife and I were laughing at your clean sense of humour. She had a big Cadillac Coupe De Ville years ago and loved it. This episode brought back some good memories for her.
"Hey Paw! Where should I park the Caddy??"
"Boy! Park it 2 miles out in the pasture!"
Sounds like something I seen done with a Fleetwood, some reason it was the only car more than a mile from the guys House, with trees all around it.
Always park your old cars in the low ground. That's fine.
"Way down the hill so that we wont feel guilty that we're too lazy to keep her on the road!"
Hey Paw! which pasture????
the neighbor's.....
"I need to take it easy." *FLOORS IT*
Ikr
That cracked me up too lol
Love the old Cadillacs! Glad to see you fixin' on one!
More to come!
I had one just ilke it, loved it////
Greetz from Germany. I really dig your kind of humor, think you're one kind of your own there. Just cannot believe how entertaining and even helpful your content is. Just please keep up and i wish you best luck with all your next lost cars.
“Oh..! That is thicker than Shakira’s thighs”. One of the best comments ever.
'she's hotter than 90's Britney Spears', thats another one Ive stolen from Him.
I almost fell in the floor on that one
This isn't my first episode I've watched today but, i just wanted to say that, I love your content, your humor, your accent, and when you say "yea, that's fine, nope. " I couldn't imagine doing what you do on a daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly basis, but I do love watching your "misery" while trying to be optimistic.
And " I don't knoww"!😂
It’s quite impressive how well that engine ran after sitting for all those years... nice job!
I have a 76 Eldorado that belonged to my Dad since 78. I'm always amazed it will fire up and drive me around. It only has 83K but so many years on her. I was started to wonder about seals and such but this vid has reaffirmed my faith in the big old sled. Awesome as always to ride along.
I had a '72 Coupe DeVille with that engine. MPG: 6. Fun factor: 10
Had a 66Fleetwood milage not bad of course it was the 80s
6 if you were cruising, marshmallowing down the highway. Derek’s testing on it 1-4 sounds about right
Imagine driving it here in Europe
I have a 76 coupe de ville with the 500 cubic inch engine. around town 9 MPG highway (at 65 MPH) 14-15 MPG.
That carb could need to be rebuilt that could help a lot too. As well as a good tune up
Nice!
I cant believe that some people leave such iconic cars in a field to rot away..im glad you saved it..great episode again👌👌
I think people have intentions... but laziness just gets the better of them as they procrastinate. It is a cryin' shame, but hey it gives the rest of us vehicles to rescue. Is there any better pass time in all the world? And Derek has made a living out of it -- more power to him!
"She's tuned" OMG had me spittin' my beer!
Absolutely enjoy every thing that you produce. You can tell good down to earth people by spending a little time with them. I would love to do what you do rescuing awsome old cars and I get to every time I pull up the next video and go on another trip and adventure . Definitely enjoy the one liners and comedy. V.G.G is awsome channel. Thank you!!
HELL YEAH!
Wow, two awesome things there - how well made that 1970 Caddy is and how awesome your car resurrection skills are - really never gets old seeing you bring those beautiful old beasts back to life!
You just can't kill those Old 472 cid engine's I have transplanted several of them into old vehicles that I wanted some cheap horsies in I put one in an old school bus I bought without an engine and another one into an old 69 Chevy van that came with a 6 cylinder mounted in between the driver and passenger seats that was an awesome build it had a driveshaft 3 inches long and I couldn't get a big enough radiator into it to keep it cool I could make it work with today's technology. That little van could do wheelies and that's how I was able to trade it for a 78 Trans Am yes Derick sure takes me back to my youth when life was alot simpler and whatever I could come up with I had my family's Auto salvage yard as a toy box and if I was being creative I had the support of all the mechanics and my parents
@@samaro5647 You sir have a set of outstanding skills - those sound like amazing projects and I think there is no replacement for that kind of mentoring! Those projects you mention would have made great videos today! I'm hoping it's possible to pick up some of these skill late in life - even a simple project would be a lot of fun so long as I don't blow myself up LOL!
That's one of the greatest things I've watched in a long time
Thank you alec
Me too sunny
I was dying when u said “u can two step on this hood all day long”
so much room
Vice Grip Garage can u add me on insta @ethan2020_ plzz
Yess me too bhahaha
2 years later and still one of my favorites. Im a sucker for big cars. Ive owned a 76 impala, 78 Coupe Deville, and a 73 Lincoln mark IV over the years. Loved um every one.
The Hennepin Ave 1970 pimp cruiser......."Hey Ladies, want to go skinny dippin in Lake Calhoun? I got pastel straws and a blanket".."and bloody mary mix.....
I noticed the bloody mary parts too.. stay safe
The one liners that come from this guy would even make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush.
Awwnoldt laughs: " AGH AGH AGH AGH AGHH!!
Trying 😂❤️ to forget that urine smell myself kitty brand 2 litter's worth had me rolling with stings my nose.
Reminds me of a young Red Green...
Horatio Caine from CSI Miami.....LOL
It makes for a good running monologue.
You got the Caddy started, running and then went on a Road Trip, I learned, laughed and went for a cool ride to boot!
How can it be possible that a car could be so clean and tide from inside after 20 years
At the light "Why arnt you going?!" Literally me every time.
A testimony to how well automobiles of this era were built in your country. Here in the UK cars were rusty before they were painted!
Also, your vast knowledge is admirable for being capable of resurrecting these land yachts is no small feat.
“What is this? Oh I don’t know”
In the UK rock salt is spread on the roads when it's icy, which doesn't help.
A testimony on a bullshit video. I'm amazed you people are so gullible. If we pretend for a second that he truly repaired this guy then we have to also believe the went on an illegal drive with no state inspection, registration, insurance, or valid plates with a car that has the brakes held together with zip ties. What a joke.
I was actually a nervous wreck for you!
Meanwhile....the neighbors......"what the hell did he bring home now!?"
a guy was surprised when he pulled into that neighborhood. a guys thinkin maybe its an old family home or the wife picked it?
LadyJessica861 yeah, no brakes
My neighbours worry about me.... ua-cam.com/video/wNZ1Jc1OHcs/v-deo.html regards Paul
@@PaulDonovan mmmmm i'd be worried too, i hope its been de-armed lol ! i bet you get no neighbourhood disputes !
I just love your smell descriptions. Its like watching in smell-o-vision
As a fellow Minnesotan. I love this guys accent.
I agree I’m from there and I never realized we had an accent lol
O-Kay der bood!
"Brake is hanging, but I think we are gonna need that, ya know?" Priceless.
Cant stop watching these here vice grip videos, just the real deal…😎
He’s cool. A lot smarter than he wants you to think
Very much so
Yes he is
i think he is or was a real mechanic for however many years....
oh and so happy to hear you're gonna throw money at this - such a lovely old car. Someone loved her
yep sure did and left it in a ditch for twenty years
“I’ll be dipped” is my new catch phrase! This entire hour had me laughing. I needed that, thank you.
Yes, Exactly !!! :-)
We used to say "Ill be dipped in shit"
I found VGG about 2 months ago. This is by far the most entertaining episode ever. The drive home was amazing comedy. Well done
"It kinda steers."
"I got 5 zip ties left"
"Hey, I can't stop like you can!"
Thanks for your humorous wisdom! 😄🤣😆👍
I love that old girl...
Just cannot imagine it has 24k miles, but, the seats and interior say yes...
I think you got a gem .
Curious where you go from here with her..
I had a gorgeous 1968 sedan deville in the early 00’s. I was the second owner. It was gold with a black vinyl top and black leather interior. 472 big block. Everything worked, power seats, mirrors, everything. I should have never parted with it.
I grew up in one of those. It was my Dad's all time favorite car. We went 500 miles to see the mouse in 73. 2 parents, 6 kids - ages 9, 6, 4, 2,1 & 1 (twins). Are we there yet?
That’s awesome. We road tripped in a rambler matador station wagon. There were three of us boys and things got pretty wild.
Yeah I was never a fan of these american boats, but now... I want me an old Cadillac.
