FULL COST BREAKDOWN: Cheapest 2005 Cadillac CTS-V!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2022
- Well the last of the to-do list is checked off and with that the CTS-V is officially complete! After driving it for a few weeks I talk about what I LOVE about this car and a couple things I don't like so much. Driving/flyby clips and a full price break down. What should I save next?

eye on the details..from your garage..tools..to the projects..always taking care of the smallest details..much respect..and envy..the Caddy is a killer..
Its Caddi. A Caddy is a carrier of golf clubs. ;)
Not just the cheapest, but easily one of the best looking 1st gen V's still out there! Good job!
Killed it with this build.. can’t wait for some performance upgrades. See what she does at the track!
New subscriber and so glad I found your channel! It's nice to see someone knowledgeable as yourself that doesn't mind working his ass off to do the job correctly. You my friend are a pleasure to watch! This series on the Cadillac has been nothing short of amazing what a man can do if he doesn't mind working!! Beautiful damn car!
Stumbled on the original vid of when you found it, subscribed then, and followed the rest of the way. Great content so far. I like rebuilds like this.
This is the car that brought me to your channel. Just rewatching the recap for fun. Now, on to the interior of the not so cheap Cobra.
Wow, I am awe of this car and also your talent to do what you’ve done to it. Thank you for sharing.
Binge watched the entire series on this car. Super satisfying. Nice work man!
Perfect fitment and with all these neon cars driving down the road it sure is refreshing to see a unique classy color combo from the glossy factory paint and those rims
Bad ass man!! Loved this series with the cts v, by far my favorite color and favorite car! Have fun and enjoy it! I have an 07 Escalade currently and love it, it has its issues but it’s also one of my favorite vehicles, I had an 03 cts and that’s where my love for Cadillac started!
Dude, I gotta tell ya….you are killing it! Much respect from this old car guy. I have been watching your vids for the past couple of days. They make me wanna get up off my old fat butt and get out in my garage and do something. I like the way you do your vids. Not a bunch of self promotion, “cool guy” lingo, or shout outs. You are all business. I learn a lot. Keep it up.
Great series/ car. Love the lines, stance and the exhaust notes are SO good!
Love the break down videos. Would love to see this more for other projects. Plus maybe a video about how much profit you make once it’s done. Either way.. keep up the great work!
Killer build! I love that car. There is something very satisfying about watching your videos, keep up with the great content.
Thanks!
You and me both 👍
Great content. I love my Cadillac. I’ve always had them since I was in high school. First car I had was a gift from my grandmother 1987 saville and been hooked since. Then I got a 1995 Seville big body! And I took a break for a minute since parts and labor can be a bit pricey. And now I’m older with better job, I have a 2020 Cadillac CTs and I absolutely remember why I love Cadillac. This car is a dream. It run’s amazing and quick for just being a 2.0 turbo.
absolutely love the content can’t wait to see the new build
This is awesome. Your channel is getting big bro. Keep up the great work
The Brembo's is what really sold me on a 1st gen V. Zero fad and total control. Very very powerful.
Wow 6k for a V that is amazing, you are blessed. Keep up the good work Chris, you're killing it!! I didn't even know this car came in stealth grey, GG bro! 🔥
Just found ur channel today.....the caddy brought ur channel to my attention....I also have a 06 CTS.... absolutely love the driving performance.....and ya have to admit...the car has an amazing stance to it...thanks for ur videos
Still can't believe I found this channel on a whim... or by RPM posting about you... can't remember now but the first video I watched was the WOT box (still need to save to get mine) and gotta say, will be a long time sub for sure. Great content.
WOW you did such a fantastic job on this Cadillac! I just love it!
First off man, congrats on getting her so cheap, she sounds amazing. A-mazing dude. I'm kind of sad that electric cars are going to be all that we can buy soon. If you didn't get a chance to see the new Dodge electric Charger clip with it's fake exhaust noise, please check it out. It sounds like a pregnant cat. World of difference between an actual 5.7L V8 engine lol.
Electric cars are gonna flop
Dude awesome content! Found your channel a month ago and hooked!
New sub! Went back and watched the series on this car. Awesome you brought it back to life. I'll also go back watch the your previous videos on the other car's you built.
Thanks man! Enjoy!
@@ChrisSullivan69 he
We don’t want a lot…just a small build of performance upgrades.
Great job
Amazing series bro I loved it 💪🏽
Love this car and all the mods you have done to it car looks amazing sounds so good too
Bought mine July '20 for $12k
RPM level 5 t56 $4,000
Four months later when second gear fragged thus destroying other internals... Tick stage 1 t56 with bungs and sprayers and micropolishing - $5,000
$21,000ish
We've also done ceramic tint, added a spoiler, and added a diff brace that creates a fourth mount to the subframe.
But I love her.
Awesome find, great series 👍
I have always liked these cars but after watching these videos on it - I want one! Great job on it!
Fantastic as always sir!
Great presentation and great car...but the coolest thing in your garage is pictured at 1:31.....Legendary American, THE DUKE !!!
Car looks amazing!! Awesome job overall!
Sweet car man! Had mine for 10 years now, trust me it’s a love hate relationship lol My car is a 2006 and mine does have the volume and skip buttons on the steering wheel! Keep it up with the great videos!
Love the channel, can’t wait to see more videos with the vette
Chris, i really enjoyed the videos on this car. It is a beautiful car, and as always, you did a great job.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
🔥 did your thing on this shit. If the person that sold you the car ever saw this video they’d be so sick 🤣
20,000 grand in this market, super jealous. Congrats keep up the good content.
I own a 2006 CTS Sport Luxury with 87K. It looksmlike new and drive great. I'm not trying to compare it with your CTS-V, of course, but my Caddy is a preasure and a blast to drive. It corners amazingly flat an the 24 valve V6 provides nice power. The look is timeless to me and i always get comments from strangers.
Anyone who is unfamiliar with the first gen CTS performance models has no idea of just what they're missing out on. Your 2005 would be my dream car if I were to own it's twin. Just fantastic!
Great work on the ctsv caddy brotha!!! She sounds and looks amazing ! You do clean work! I hope to get as good as you at restoration 360* on a car. I am trying to find a cts v from 2004-2008 eta for about 10k or less. Your videos are very informative and I like the Choice In music and very good film work on zoom ins and angles ! 😎🤙🏼🔥
Loved the videos boss, good work!
Thanks man
Great channel, great content. Not sure why he doesn't have more subscribers!!!!
I appreciate that!
Great job love the videos hope to find a deal like this when I get serious about looking for a V
That color has really grown on me! Lookin great
Loved the build! Especially since I got a CTS right before you got yours
blessed and able to do the labor and talent is priceless
Double click the interior lock button and it should lock while on. If you're going to install a short shifter, change the end link to the trans as well, it'll feel much better.
GM actually makes a plug and play infotainment system updated display and everything for those and the c6. And 💯 agree needs mgw short throw...love your channel keep up the solid work!!!!
Got a link? I’ve had mine for a while now and on all the groups and have never seen or heard this
@@chriswilburn8456 because it doesn’t exist unfortunately
Yeah until I see a link to an actual item and an example of one installed I call BS
Congrats dude, car was definitely saved!
This was awesome man!!!
Funny to see lots of familiar places. I wok on the base and travelled those roads since i was a kid.
Really awesome watching you restore and modify that Caddy Chris!
Nice car and great choice of mods.
Chris, Love everything to do with the CTSV all videos were great that’s what made me a subscriber to your channel. Question how did you go about polishing the instrument cluster lens? I got a few pieces I would like to polish with the same results.. keep up the great work…
Just some meguiars plastic X polishing compound
Great video series!
Guy who sold you the car: "Dayum..."
I search for deals like that good find for a car that didnt need alot. When i graduated highschool in 06 there was a few of us that were car guys we all had trans am's and camaros. I had a 98 z28, but the cts v was like the talk everyone man i want one of those. But late 90's and early 2000's were i think the last of all the cool cars. You had all the jdm, the muscle man those were the days
My creative steel adjustable short shifter works WONDERFULLY with cups/bottles/tumblers in the cup holders.
Loved watchin this CTSV transform
The car has a real good exhaust note ! What a bargain!
Whoa amazing deal. I love that car man. Enjoy it
The car turned out awesome..💥💥💪💪
beautiful car , you did an amazing " clean up "
Nice little ride.
I'd give you 10k on the spot for that car bro, you did a great job bringing her back to life.
The car paid for itself basically, excellent daily. Truly my dream car
Been a ford guy for life but always had a soft spot for a V. Prices on the gen 1s are far below a cobra or gt500 thinking about scooping one up next year. Little more useable than a coupe ford that’s insanely expensive to mod and fix.
Thank you for doing this!
Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Nice looking and sounding car!
The financials are beyond awesome. For real, phenomenal. Your ability to turn a wrench has evolved into your ability to provide, in a big way….
How many hours labor was this?
Absolutely a gorgeous car!
Awesome job. Things beautiful. I have a 03 cts. Been lookin for a 1st gen cts v in the fl area and hard to find, especially in good shape. Theres a 2006 cts-v RWD locally for $22k 75k miles. Hell of a find. He'll of a job in the build
Right on 🤙
That exhaust tho….wow 😍
You have a beautiful car they finally addressed the interior problem it's not as nice as a European sports sedan but its a big leap forward compared to where it came from i have a Ats-v and it has the seude recaro seats and carbon fiber package everything can be controlled from the steering wheel i had a cts like that and was very disappointed with the interior but a freaking fun car to drive sounded amazing too the Ats-v is more nimble than the cts-v and puts the power d 11:11 own better!
wow just wow!!! i have a 08 cts awd and i thought it was nice but this v is beautiful.
Nice car, well done.
Superb job
Great series! I'm thinking of buying one here shortly. Did you ever get around to fix the clunk noise from the differential? I know these are notorious for the differential problems.
WHAT A DEAL!!!! LOVE IT.
Wow! That’s awesome! What a buy😮
Gorgeous car bro,please NO music in your videos they make ppl change video
FYI, They are going for 17 to 22K on Bring a trailer. Awesome build, great work!
I’d take 15 for mine with stage 4 cam 😅
@@64rafa54still holding to that??
Love this car if not for the exhaust I would consider it a sleeper. Searched for one of these for a while hard to find any CTS without half a dozen check engine lights on always intimidated by that but they are good-looking cars if nothing else.
Deffiently great deal on that car!! I have one with twice the mileage and paid just about that
I have a manual ATS coupe here in Toronto Canada. Nice Caddi.
I love first gen CTS-V's I want one one day
I installed a MGW short throw on my SS sedan and a lighter clutch return spring and I love it. Maybe they make one for the Vs..
How about build one of those "derelict " sleepers?> They look like a ton of fun.
I have a 2013 Chevy caprice. Im interested, What sway bars and coilovers you use?? Loved the video by the way man. Cts V is dope 🔥
Thank you, yes you killed it
I really don't like that generation of cts, but the "v" option looks better than the 6 cylinder, but I'm still not a fan, gen 2's and newer are far and away better looking. That said, you did nice on this car, I'd drive it!
You did a good job
I have a 2nd gen CTS base and was wanting to add some of the factory options that it could have came with like remote starter, directional headlights, rainsense, navigation, etc. Do I need a scan tool to "wake up" those new modules in the car? Can this Autel do that? Was looking at the Topdon Phoenix but it is twice as expensive.
DAM IM ENVIOUS! SICK RIDE BUT SUPER SICK INVESTMENT!! ITS ONLY GOING TO BE WORTH MORE EACH YEAR! CONGRATS! WHERE DID YOU PICK UP YOUR MECHANICAL SKILLS? ARE YOU AS MECHANIC?
Beautiful car and great videos Chris!! Do you know where I good purchase the rims you have. '05 V
I love the v series. I have a 2006 sts-v
05 V1 owner here. Currently needing valve cover, head and lower exhaust manifold gaskets to hopefully combat an overheating issue. Any recommendations on where to go for all that?
It's obvious you're a Chevy bro. HOWEVER, I love how you have a Terminator Mustang picture in your garage staring right at your GM rides lol
