Hell yeah man!! That things a BEUT
Hi Kevin I love your and johns videos
Thanks man definitely a keeper
John, you shoulda kept on the 70's pimp outfit!!! Loved it.. Great job, keep it up.
@@richarddeschamps5425 hahaha thanks man raided grandpa’s closet 🤣
@goldenrustorbust shit, john. Thats what i was wearing in the early 70's and platform shoe's. But hell, I was only 7!!!!
Your the only TH-camr who replaced the bumper filler panels on one of those good job sir that caddie could be your power tour car definitely keep it very unique
I had a "77 Eldorado" I bought it from my aunt in 1981 for $500. It was Teal Blue with a silver landau top with black leather and Teal color keyed hub caps. It was pushing 85k mi. at the time. The car was powered by or should I say underpowered with a 425. Basically, it couldn't get out of its own way! The body was rust free and the filler panels were in good shape. Thinking about the rear filler panels, they all came with plastic chrome that started at the bottom of the horizontal portion of the bumper up around and over and ended at the gas plate door. The car had a hell of a goodie package including AM/FM/CB radio, factory alarm, auto locking doors when you put it in gear. Mechanically, I replaced both CV/half shafts and the soft close trunk motor. This would be the first of five Cadillacs for me. What an incredible road car!
The “epiphany” of a land yacht? The spirit of Norm Crosby lives on.
Yikes.

You're living the boat life now, baby!!! We have a 73 Pontiac Bonneville with a 455. She's a big beautiful girl with 80,000 original miles! Congrats on your new youngling. Take of your beautiful wife! Love you guys!
Love these FWD Cadillacs . My grandfather had a 72 white on white black vinyl top. I can remember 4 adults 3 children riding comfortably id sit up front between grandfather and my uncle two ladies two girls in back. No drive line tunnel like riding on living room couch. 7 people comfortably riding down the highway. That baby rode so smooth.
THANK YOU for putting new filler panels in. Nothing bothers me more than seeing these old yachts with lake-sized gaps between the body and bumper.
As for the passenger side not fitting right in the front, having that corner meet a tree at around 5 MPH would probably solve all of your problems
😂😂😂
They definitely do "adjust"!😅
I love how prepared you are
What an amazing find. Beautiful.
My 58 year old ass is late, but we have an upload from "RoboMulletCop". Love this kid, I really enjoy his uploads. Longer uploads are nice.
😂😂😂
Awesome find dude, very nice land yacht! Thanks for sharing your adventures with this classic!
The El Dorito
😂😂😂
Was waiting for a good car video to post. Thanks John! Also, always loved the old Cadillacs.
With videos like this, you are well on your way brother! Looking forward to more. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Awesome work! Always funny seeing this dude on junkyard digs.
That is a beautiful car.
I really like seeing old iron put back on the road, back to work, or back to fun on your channel.
What a perfect Caddy. Love it!
This episode was one of your finest. The editing has come a long way. That car is b-e-a-u-tiful.
My inner electrician has to make this comment. A switch is on or off but a sensor can give a range of units
Hey thank you for the information 😁
Good score. Be happy its not the 4-6-8 nightmare. Tint it out on airbags, and you'll be pimpin in style.
Hell Yeah John, love these 70's land yachts. 👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥
"Let me pull it out for ya" 95 feet of car and 5 mins later...love it
😂😂
I love big old cars
What a Cadillac!! So glad your fixing on her. Always liked these year period, models. More videos, of this Cadillac please.
Definitely power tour
What a great car. Love the host hair cut too. Looks so 90's Beavis and Butt-Head. Very retro and cool.
Awesome. So fun to watch , after seeing all the work you did! Good to feel part of your journey.
I had a 78 caddy eldorado with a 500, man the stories!
Nice pick shined up nice ,cool
Thanks for the video. Nice Caddy.
25:19 didn't know I was going to be seeing any CAKE today
She's a beaut john !
Usually when I watch videos of cool cars, that's where it ends. "That's cool". This is one of the very few times I've been in the terrible position of envy. What a great find.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!❤
Talk about a pump mobile 😂 looks good!
I meant pimp 🤦🏼♀️ but hey it probably eats gas too 😬
This is f***in' great!
Cheers from Bavaria.
That car is amazing. Love your videos like always man
Beautiful car!! That thing really does shine
Awesome video! 🎉 Thanks for the content!
Good looking car! Get that AC up and running!
I was just in that neck of the woods while you were up there. Had my 1971 Starcraft Pop-up out camping.
We all struggle with GM body fillers. Especially Cadillac ones. Don’t feel bad. You never know which ones to buy, which ones fit the best etc. A big ol’ crap shoot. I usually try to find ABS plastic ones over the fiberglass ones.
Good purchase BTW. I like it. That grille cap is straight sexy
Commercials every 4:00 of content... greeeeeedy!
I let TH-cam control the midroles I’m sorry it came across that way
I wanted to comment after seeing you install the temp gage. If you ever install an oil gage in that car or any car in the future, do not, I repeat do not use the plastic line that comes with most gouges. Those lines melt and or break in the future and start pouring oil fast and with lock up engine before you have a chance to save it. Instead buy the same size metal line and never worry about it again..
Hey thanks for all the advice 👍😁
im here for the revive and drive.
You need to make more videos, man I like watching your videos
oh yah! just choochin' in the 'ol caddy bud. :D great video
Great video, work and car, loving the old caddys😎🔥
the smile at 21:07 says it all bud, great job, diffnelty be proud of the work ya did
what a sweet ride hope to see more stuff brother glad i found you with help of kevin and mook
This is awesome
Just picked up a 75 olds toronado with the 455 white with blue interior. Beautiful cars the eldorados are beautiful to .
Lots to learn my man and you have a good start, no other way to do it, take it from a man who has been turning wrenches for 60 years.
What a beautiful car…. 💯 Great job.
Definitely a beautiful car man
Nice machine!
Doing great John best one yet
great video and great car hope to see more of it
Good to see you again. Cool car. Your work looks just fine (I ain't no mechanic!) and happy to see you got new windshield wipers :) You're a cool dude and I'll be looking for you again soon.
The video was great! Your channel is one that has videos I can click "like" on before I watch them. You have fun, which makes them fun to watch.
Sweet it's in great shape 👌🙏♥️😎
Great job on the video definitely like the road trips
Now you just need to color match and re fit the body fillers and shell be perfect
Nice work man. Great content and enthusiasm.
Love me them Cadillacs!
Goodness, she's stinkin gorgeous!
My dad always had wine taste with a beer budget when it came to cars growing up so we always had some old Caddy or Lincoln in the driveway.
I learned how to drive on an 85 Fleetwood 4 door, took my driving test on a Toyota Echo... Nailed it 🤘
great job good find🤟
Pimp daddy caddy!! Get it big boy!!
Good on you man. Nice car.
good job ....nice car....
Such a Beauty
Dude, love the dad shoes.
The transmission and front wheel drive line is the same as the Oldsmobile tornado. Its essentially a modified Turbo-400 and very sturdy.
Sweet deal. I live in Duluth, fun to see you in my neck of the woods!
dont beat yourself up those body fillers look great, once you get them painted to match then you'll be proud of yourself. Good job that car is a one of a kind. love it.
hi mate im from england and this is my favorite cadillac...i would silicone all the gaps in the fender fillers and paint them the same colour as the car...it would look a lot better...all the best from UK
Nice car and congrats on the little one man
Look at the room you have by the firewall! Wow
FWD?
Well why Not?
Nice survivor🎉
😂 Every time I see you on a channel I always remember the traffic cone. i have been calling you Cone Head every since😂😂.
I didnt know you had a channel though, so I'm glad I came across this video and glad to subscribe here as well.
Nice Beast! I've got a 68 Deville. Awesome car, I get offers to buy it every day!
Great work, you may have to join the owners club to get info on good aftermarket filler panels. Love the Coors hat too. Bravo
Sweet video brother. One of my favorite models. Subd. HT🤙🇺🇸
Great video
Awesome to see you were able to drive it home! I’m glad I was able to help you keep her running, thanks for the shoutout!
Hahah thanks for all of the help 😎
The fact that you didn't use foam for the bumper fillers, almost killed Dalton, you know that right? 😂 Looks good man, love to see some content from ya.
What a GREAT FIND Those body fills are a pain fore sure Maybe when you get them painted the body man can fit them better. I've had a couple of these over the years and coupe devilles. you have the 425(501) engine in her. It doesn't like to run when its cold-You have to set the Choke-Spring 2 notches to the rich side (towards the firewall) that's what they like You should only need 1 pump cold start I noticed the old guy ( orig owner) has the headlights all out of wack. I adjust mine so it fits the contours of the headlight surrounds. That usually works. She is a great car You will get many miles-years out of her . ENJOY Cheers from Calgary
Thanks for the advice 😁
Now i know why my grandpa wanted one. Just glide down the road....
Great job and great car great job john 🎉😊
You do good work work
Love them full size caddies. Don’t knock em till you drive one
A ❤classic El Dorardo.
My dad had a 73 convertible he had to take this workbench out garage just fit it in I love the pants and the look
Great vid btw
Congratulations bro..
You must be stoked as.
And im not talking about the car.
Oh John...what the hell would we do without you brother... you definitely know how to make a brother spit his beer out and shit his pants all at once! Keep it up man, and have a beer about it.
I have a 72 Eldorado convertible. My baby. Welcome to the club. Stay pimpin.
Sweet Ride. Wish you luck, especially trying to find a fuel tank for it. She's a keeper. That's the car you should drive your newborn home in for memories sake.
Some pretty good jams for royalty free music.
Great find man I’m glad your channel is doing great I’m still going to follow you and everyone else jyd and all but I think after 5 years and no growth I am shutting mine down keep up the great work and thanks for all your hard work
I’m sad to hear that man 😔 I hope everything goes well for you
