- The owner/builder of this car Rick Abate as been a family friend for years and it was a blast shooting with him and his Sinister Cadillac last weekend. I've seen this car at multiple events since it's completion and I'm so glad I finally got to go for a ride with Rick and talk through the details of his one off custom Caddy known as Sinister.
Enjoy!!

I love when someone just leaves the original body lines and look of the car and just does upgrades mechanically. This shows respect for the design from that era. You can take a brand new car and chop it up to make it they way you want it but it's not the same car. By leaving the beautiful original body, it really elevates the Caddy. It looks like silk on wheels.💙
The work with the front and back chrome sections is incredible! I've always been fascinated with the subtle detail
This is probably my favorite episode to date. I LOVE old Caddies!! Especially 60's to about 72,73. Now...is this one a DeVille a Calais....? I'm guessing Deville. But with the modifications its a little hard to be sure. Its awesome that they didn't use any bondo. Everything filled with welds. The entire body straightened with hammer and block. That is some serious craftsmanship! So freakin impressive. The use of the exterior trim on the interior...very creative idea. Love it! Great great episode.
Thanks again!! I appreciate you watching what we do. This is a wonderful build and done right!
The 67 is my favorite caddie hands down.
I love it. Not every all out project needs massive power, enough can be said in the looks & details
Shawn, the last few cars have been bonkers COOL! The lines on this car are incredible - looks like a drawing brought to real life. And that COLOR! Just superb.
I personally like hearing the dollar amounts. Really sends home the immense time and dedication put into one of these cars. I love that blue, what color
Mike A. Seems like a lot of people feel the same so I’ll continue to keep that in the breakdown of these builds. I appreciate the feedback.
AutotopiaLA right on man
That was a real treat. "Badass" was the word I kept thinking of but it doesn't characterize how awesome the car truly is. Priceless is priceless. With that said screw the $$$ amounts. Most people can't even begin to relate with what it is all about. Down with the doubters, haters and sour pusses.
Keep doing what you do so well.
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
James White thank you James!! I’ll continue to detail what is involved in the custom build process including dollar amounts from here forward.
Love it , very detailed indeed. The color is remarkably beautiful. Thanks for sharing guys
That level of craftsmanship is unreal. Badass build
WOW! I love this car Shawn. You don’t show enough of these “big” cars. How good is the paint, the red interior & the wheels? Love love love! Great video!
I HAVE SEEN BLUE CARS WITH RED INTERIORS AND THOUGHT WHY? BUT I MUST ADMIT, I LOVE THIS ONE! SO GLAD TO SEE NEW CARS IN BLUE ON THE STREETS INSTEAD OF WHITE/SILVER/GRAY/BLK. BEAUTIFUL JOB, ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YRS, MY DAD HAD A '69 COUPE DEVILLE, METALLIC BLUE.
Thanks for showing that amazing cadillac!
you don’t get tired of watching this piece of art!
I am from Brazil and I love your channel because we don´t have this type of cars here. I do like hearing the dollar amounts spent on these builds so we can picture how hard is to build such pieces of art. Thanks a lot for you videos!! Peace
Thank you! Sometimes we put dollar amounts but a lot of owners and builders get uncomfortable talking about it
My first impression that it was a 65 caddy but your explanation of the build cleared that up
Damn! What's there not to love? Perfect hanger "Sinister". Serious "Badass" car!
Nice!!!!!! this is what Superman drives on Sundays
Turbo 6 lol!!
Love what you're doing! Don't worry about ppl complaining about $$ amount.
derrick v thanks Derrick I appreciate the feedback and the support. It really makes a difference.
It's a sweet ride regardless,some of the same ppl who talk about $$ amounts are the same ppl who would spend thousands on one shoes/clothes article (I definitely do not get that),so,it is what it is,just depends on what you be into,and,what you willing to do to make it happen 🤷🏿♂
Oh my God, the paint and bodywork!
sidefx996 I know. It’s so clean and sharp. Love the color combo!!
Priceless beauty. outstanding thought-out workmanship. Truly special.
Agreed 👊
Wow!!! Such a beautiful Caddy!
One of the best cars and best vids from Autotopia...
Thank you! 👊
Great build Rick and another informative episode Shawn, well done bro!!
Christopher Marechal thanks Chris! Such a beautiful car and didn’t expect the smoke show that Rick gave us at all!!
One of the greatest car bodies in the world!!!
Now that's one bad ass grandaddy caddy
That's the most badass Caddy i've ever seen
Old American classic. I love it.
I’ve watched this a few times. One of my dream cars is a 66 coupe Deville. Low and slow, not too much emphasis on shine with no major mods to the body or interior.
Awesome car shawn. Absolutely love everything about it. 12 k shawn that’s great news. Keep up the amazing work
Ross Lynn thanks Ross and thanks for being there from the beginning with me/us on the channel and the growth. Loving it!!
i really appreciate the information that I gather when watching your videos.
I think you should continue to push the envelope when it comes to video content and quality.
I like hearing how much this stuff can run you. (costs on builds) Why? because in a way,
It gives us regular guys a source of reference, so when we talk/think to about what needs to be done to our own vehicles, we can be prepared for what it MIGHT cost.
Sean, No one else on the internet shares that kind of information with their viewers....and THAT alone, is what makes your videos and content more interesting.
I like that the vibe always seems laid-back, casual, and on point.
Hopefully someday, one of my rides will be in one of your videos.
Until then, continue to keep it real.
Later man.
Peace
Andrew Phillips hell yes! Thanks for the compliment and input and I’ll continue to detail these cars including dollars spent. I’m one of the regular guys too bro. Looking forward to building something with one of my “expensive” builders soon!! I really appreciate your support and feedback. Truly!
that's why i always say, "ballpark estimate" because there's a huge range from 10,000 to 1,000,000. I believe that it LENDS to the appreciation factor.
Stunning!!!
Love this channel! It's 🔥
I love that car,it's one of my favourites so far mate cheers👍🏻🇬🇧
I love it too. Very cool build and that paint is amazing
I concur with the majority in asking for the cost breakdown. I really appreciated the explanation of the otherwise 'stock' looking bumper. A very subtle change, but one can assume it took a ton of work to make sure it so smooth. To the neophyte like myself, I'll bet the 'show quality chrome plating' cost a bundle as well. One suggestion, could you do a more detailed evaluation of the car? It would cover the assumed upgrades to make it handle at today''s expectations. Chassis, brakes, engine refinements all would be included. Thanks for considering this lengthy comment!
Badd ass ride man! love it!
Killer build. Screw guys crying about 150G caddie. On the cheap paint been 40G.
Rod 000 another guy that understands the world of one off customs!!
A new escalade is $125k I'd much rather have this!
I LOVE IT !!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Me too! Such a cool cruiser 👊
Man this would be killer with the a 1967 Lincoln continental w/ suicide doors. another killer video!
AJ M , great idea
AJ M that would be really cool. Love the old suicide door Lincoln’s man!
@@jameswhite8453 1000!!
What a beautiful car. Great use of contrasting colours. Nice subtle mods.
Tough Garage agreed. Tastefully done and still fairly over the top with colors and materials used.
Love this video!
another great episode like always
blinky tran thanks Blinky!! I appreciate it dude.
Boom! Another awesome video...
Gan JD thanks!! And a lot more to come I promise.
Sick Daddyllac!!!
That’s a cold caddy 🥶🥶
Thx to you Shawnnnn what a bad boy car great show like always
Avant gard thank you! So many more to show.
Just wow! Still regret selling my 68‘ back in the 80’s 😖
Outstanding 👍
Wow ! everything about this vehicle is Bad Ass !
Pretty Bird yess!!
Love this car. I actually just saw it on TV last week on Bitchin' Rides. I used to have an 85 Buick Regal almost this exact color, with a white pinstripe and white vinyl top. 350 rocket engine, straight pipe exhaust and little 15' chrome wheels. Yea, it was a while ago when 15"s were in style lol
So cool! Sounds like a cool car you had.
Building a car like that,, dollar amount don't matter. Thanks man .
Nice work 👍
Dope! Love the color! Didn't expect 15k watts in there lmao holy shit!
He went all in on audio which makes sense on a cruiser like this
My two favorite colors thanks bro sweet ass car
How does the ride with airbags feel compared to the stock suspension setup? would be interested to know as i am planning a conversion myself but just don't quite know what to expect
awesome !!
Cool content! I just subscribed to your channel brother! My dad had a 68 Cad Coupe de Ville same body style but it had a 472 cu. in. motor, I love that body style. Sinister is fabulously done!
Thanks for the sub!! I love this car. The color. The name. Just a cool build.
Keep them coming brother
So clean.. Now that is a cruiser.
Yeah, this thing is pure gangster cruise mode
I want a Sinister Caddy now❤️
Love it!!!
Amazing bodywork!
Agreed. Really clean build overall
Sharp lines!.. #clean #yolo
Blue with red guts is a nice look
Great color combo for sure
beautiful car
So what's with the fit of the trunk lid and grill below the trunk lid (huge gap on passenger side)?
Sick ride! 🔥
So clean and pure cool
If it says Sinister I click it. \m/ Sick ride.
I love that color and that beautiful Cadillac. I know the lowered look is all the range but it looks like it rides like a buck board now cause ya'll were kind of bouncing in your seats. I had a 67 Fleetwood when I was a 16 year old my dad bought me for about $600. I think it had a 472 CID motor, power vent window front and back and would pass everything but a gas station. Seeing this Sinister brought back good memories.
It’s a bumpy ride for sure but it’s more of a look. A style. I love the look but wouldn’t want to drive it too far on SoCal roads 😬
Would love to scars with see a restomod on a 63-69 Buick Riviera. My dad ( Miss him so much..) had a 63 and a 72 Riviera. One of the best designed cars in an era when a Human sketched and designed cars with other designers and visionaries.
Love the color on the caddy!
J.F Cote me too. With the red interior...sick!
Shawn, just to let you know, the link you provide (www.autotopiala.com) does not work. It says the website cannot provide a secure connection. We have to remove the "S" from https for it to work.

I went there to see if I could get an Autotopia cap like the one you're wearing. Saw there are none for sale...
Will it be coming some time? Thanks!
Nice ride love the blue
james burke me too. With the red interior...🔥
I like hearing the dollar amount. Easy to jump extreme $$ real fast with a full build. Your channel should have at least 100k subscribers. There are to many car people not to be subscribed. I love the channel keep it up
Thank you! I’m looking forward to a million subs…currently 277K and pushing daily!
My bad I was drinking I meant a million wtf lol
@@cameronvanlandingham9721 😂😂😂🍻🍻
This DeVille is sick. I want one.
Sean i love this channel.
Thank you! We’ve been having fun with it for a little over 3 years now
Still binge watching... :-) the boys are tossing back a few and fogging the room so why not? Peace.
One of the nicest looking cars I have ever seen. Would have been nice if you could put it up on a lift and show us all the craftsmanship underneath.
Nice rides
Nice! Me being a cadi guy for life and building my own from the ground up I can really appreciate that car. Love the color and detail. Shawn was that a sema build?
Jeff Daggs yep. Then it did the full show circuit including Good Guys Del Mar, Grand National Roadster Show, etc. Do you still have the Caddy you built?
AutotopiaLA Yes still a work in progress. Just did the motor it’s a 472 bigblock .30 over,10.5-1 compression,Milled heads,MTS cam,ARP rods,mains,head bolts,
Street demon carb,port&polished heads,manifold,headers,Dual exhaust, High lift MTS valve springs,HEI distributer,MSD heat hi output ignition module,Eldelbrock high rise manifold,high flow mechanical fuel pump,ARP engine bolt kit,MTS aluminum valve covers,Lokar trans kickdown,Engine driven air compressor,Fully built transmission,Airbagged beast now working on interior then paint. It’s on my instagram and TH-cam.
So Sweet! For some reason I wanted it to be diesel?!?!? So cool
That would be pretty crazy.
66 was my favorite, now I think I’m a fan of the 67
This one made me a fan too
Bad ass Caddy!!
Nick Vitus hell yes!!
1000 hours P&B, looks great, love the metal work looks stock but, if your not told what is done you couldn’t guess.
It’s a beautiful ride without question. Pure cool
Nice car
Love the interior but I think a black exterior would have been a better match. All in all though a great job.
Badass Cadillac
yes...throw out the dollar amounts as it puts a realistic over view on what it takes to get this level
theo raptis I will. All I needed was a little feedback and it seems like it’s a consistent opinion to keep the dollar amounts associated with these builds in the content. Done!
theo raptis totally agree
So... this guy basically outsourced everything. Cool car non the less .
Nick Cooper him and his partner handle the mechanical, his wife did the design and paint and body and interior was outsourced. That was my understanding.
AutotopiaLA thanks for the reply. Awesome channel 👍. Keep it going !
I need a car with that blue. Beautiful
Hurricane Sam such a great color and with the red interior! Beautiful.
I'm hopefully picking up a 66 Cadillac deville on sunday and this video has me really excited about it.
I obviously won't achieve what you guys did but this video really hit the spot thanks for the content and all the hard work and pissed off wives that it took to build this Cadillac 👌
Hope you get it. I didn’t do any of this car though. This was all done by my friend Rick that was in the video with me. Can’t take any credit for this car other than shooting and editing it. Good luck on the 66!
Respect beautiful blue.
when cadilacs got it right. very balanced design from factory perfected to the point what it could be
That’s the truth
I have a 63 that I'm going to be doing I was wondering what if anybody knows is the widest wheel and tire that I could put under there and still keep my skirts obviously
Sapphire Swagger !!!
Was the differential swapped?
Love it
94 stang awesome!
I would love to know more about how to get all the different sponsors on board, atleast some inside into the process would be rlly helpfull, im car designer i want to do a build on the similar level, to showcase my design and concept
Shawn, I wish I could get drunk and stoned and roll like you do in rad cars like this. I’m not kidding. You got the life my man. Good on you! Keep on doin your thing sir💪
большое спасибо мужики за такие лютые тачки
Does anybody know what the circle thing is on the left hand side of the dashboard??? Please...
