What an amazing and fascinating hobby you have Al. There seems to be an almost endless supply of flooded cars in Florida for you to choose from. It's a bit risky, but then for $750 you could always part it out I guess. Flood damaged vehicles aren't permitted to be licensed and insured here in Canada, and must be scrapped. I guess that's part of the reason I keep coming back to see your videos.
Hello Big AL 🖐. The destructive force of them hurricanes & saltwater is unreal 🌀🌊 😔. Beautiful car 🚘✨️I would throw everything I had at saving it too. Wish you all the best AL . Salute 🎬😎✌️
That car looks Nice i love the color, once i Saw a vídeo that had a flood car and he put vinegar inside the engine for 2 days and there really was a difference, the rust was gone, man i am happy the engine turned good news AL 👍 good work
Great video I never heard or seen these Cadillac before I really appreciate the content and your love of never giving up on these types of cars you save
It seems that you enjoy ruining your life with flooded cars. Those Caddies are really not for the faint of heart. Specially seeing how much water is in the engines and all the sand and salt in the dash. It makes a great content for viewers. Good luck in bringing one or two of them back to life! You deserve being successful in rescuing some of those cars.
I thought you were going to get strike 3 on this one but it wasn't stuck. I agree, l like the 2000 style DeVille more than the 06 style. These had the better interior, the 06 interior is like something from an Impala. The 00-05 cars had cooler gauges and you could get night vision too. Both your Coachbuilders cars are the same color combo as my 99 Eldorado.
Plans are to fix it back up to what it was pre flood. I don’t specifically look to buy flood cars. I’m a Cadillac lover and a lot of rare Cadillacs were flooded during Ian.
Interesting cars, never heard of Coachbuilder company.....Who on Earth would have an extra 30k runnin around to drop on a car after buying it........This will be an intersting project to watch....
I would like to see a coach built convertible 1994-1999 Deville (my favorite era Deville since I owned a 1995 Deville). I have seen several coach built 1992-2002 Eldorados but no Devilles.
Man you need some Mexican cars. You need a 1989 2.8L Celebrity stick shift, a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Eurosport Coupe 3.1L stick shift and a 1985 Chevrolet Citation X-11 2.8L Stick shift. I promise they will be dry cars.
hi mate what about putting that northstar intothe black allante making a one of a kind allante it would be a shame to use the black allante for parts much love bro
@@bigalsbikeandauto I found out this week my 67’ Impala likely was in a fresh water flood and hasn’t been touched since 2016 at least. I replaced the fuel tank, drained about a gallon of water out of the engine (not great video coming to my channel soon), changed the oil and actually got the engine to start. Wondering how to go about flushing the TH400 as I’m sure it has water in it as well?
@@nopatienceprojects if you go on auto auction rebuild’s channel and watch the flood Allante video you can see how we flushed the flooded transmission step by step.
@@nopatienceprojects it would be easier to watch that then to try to explain it in words, but basically you remove both cooler lines from the radiator and let the pump of the transmission suck in new fluid while it shoots out the old fluid.
@@bigalsbikeandauto I watched it just was back when it came out. Will re-watch and also see if I have a cooler on the car, it was one of the earlier TH400 cars made. Was expecting a lot of stuff to fix/restore but not flood! Engine oil was a goo consistency, going to pull the pan and clean the oil pump screen and bottom end too.
Beautiful Cadillac sir and thank you for saving her. Next time I'm in the sunshine state I'll be down to see her!!
Good job Al getting that thing to turn.

I love these flood car videos I'm extremely infatuated with flood cars I fixed a few myself can't get enough of them
So glad you got one with a engine that’s workable. You’re the man

There will be a lot of videos on this car
@@bigalsbikeandauto nice man keep up the work and bring life back into them
Hello Big AL 🖐. The destructive force of them hurricanes & saltwater is unreal 🌀🌊 😔. Beautiful car 🚘✨️I would throw everything I had at saving it too. Wish you all the best AL . Salute 🎬😎✌️
nice job Al on getting the engine to move, looking forward to the next one.
Crazy that you got two the same color out of the same storm. Nice that this one broke loose unlike the other one.
Man, when that pulley moved!!!!! 😁
Can’t you hear me??? KEEP TURNING... 😂😂😂... if it spins , it will start✊🏾👍🏾✊🏾👍🏾❤️😍
2 uploads in 1 week? Hell Yeah. Keep them coming bro! Good luck with both Cadillacs.
Very nice! Glad this one turns over! Looking out for part 2.
Hello Al looks like you need an extension and a cheater bar your gonna hurt something you might need 😂 glad you got it to turn over good job 👍
I think any coach builders Cadillacs left in existence are all in this mans drive way😂😂 i need part 2!!
I do think you're crazy 😂 that's why I'm here!
Nice ! Hopefully the wiring is easy to sort and it will be running in no time !
Hitting these uploads hard Al!! Great stuff!
So it's not a PT Cruiser 🤣 Great video and good luck saving these two 👍🏻Edit: Congratulations glad this one has a good motor so far
enjoying a big al video on a nice spring night
That car looks Nice i love the color, once i Saw a vídeo that had a flood car and he put vinegar inside the engine for 2 days and there really was a difference, the rust was gone, man i am happy the engine turned good news AL 👍 good work
All right Al finally a win on the flooded Cadillac engines! Can’t wait to hear that thing run lol! Have a good one enjoying the more regular uploads!
Big Al, please get those tires dismounted and cleaned out, some of these flood cars can get water and silt in them and can corrode from the inside out
Big Al does it again!!!!
Fire content !! What cool cars !! So glad they will live to see another day !
Hopefully you can get this Cadillac running and driving again.😏🍻
nice project.
Great work bud, love how you got it to turn, very exciting stuff :)
Welcome back Al, From Vermont
OOOOOOOO ANOTHER ONE 😍😍😍, making me want one like this
Great video I never heard or seen these Cadillac before I really appreciate the content and your love of never giving up on these types of cars you save
Yeah, Big Al and Anthony Gozzo introduced me to Coachbilders Cadillacs
Muy Bien Grande AL!
Super stoked, dude 😎
Those will look good together all 3 of them got to do a video with them all
Did I just see this yesterday? Wait..
Great content !
this generation is so much more beautiful love this car all around great except head gaskets which in 05-06 wasnt that bad
I like this one style-wise better than the '06.
Me too!

you are my car brother I love every car ive seen on your channel! maybe not so much the LeSabre
Hell yea al!!
I wonder if these cars are being built in FL and sold through that Caddy dealership in Naples.
Yes they were back then
To me those were the last real Cadillac cars and cool bodystyle ever made!💗👍
Hey uncle Al
Thanks for making these vids! Just curious, what are your plans with this car? Why do you purchase flooded cars? Thanks!

The Deville coach cars are very rare
I always thought it was weird they put "Northstar 300" and then "300hp" in a smaller font next to it on the engine cover.
😂
5:53 That's from power farting.
Booo now I got to wait lol love that year of Cadillac DeVille guy at work used to have one blew up the second engine and had to scrap it 😢

I like em wet though 😂
Maybe just maybe you one at reviving a salt water flooded Cadillac…
hi mate what about putting that northstar intothe black allante making a one of a kind allante it would be a shame to use the black allante for parts much love bro
Too much work, I’d rather drop another 4.5 in the black one
You seem to have really cornered the market on these!
Between you and I this is not the last one 😂
wouldnt a good 1/2 inch high torque impact gun be better to check the crank shaft
That could snap the crankshaft or crank bolt
@@bigalsbikeandauto got ya
Its a disease. That's what i tried to explain to my old lady after buying a shit mini van to daily
agreed I just bought a 97 Grand Am
@@pszitalian10 can't put the hard miles on my baby
How is this a convertible?
if everyone in the comment section tried and went out and made friends yall can do stuff too
Hey Big Al do you have an email or way for me to reach you? Got a couple questions about flushing flood transmission. I’m in the Keys. Thanks!
I do but I’m bad about checking my personal email. Can you ask here?
