I respect anyone who has the balls to be different. That same drivetrain in a lighter, more aerodynamic car would run quicker ET's and mph's. But, not have nearly as much "style." Extra props for the power windows too!!
Just wondering what he gave up for that fender exhaust. A full exhaust and a wider tire would have kept it more low key to me. Fender exhaust means balls to the wall and back. ✌️
I’ve watched this many times and it NEVER gets old. Love the badass Caddy. Best part is when he rolls up the driver’s side power window. Freakin’ awesome!
@ernie woods Man that is hilarious! I graduated in '87 and that's when I owned my used triple pale yellow '78 SedandeVille. I got laughed at but I could get 7 of my friends in it and still haul ass!! Sure miss those days!
Who is the hater that gave that a thumbs down? That's the good old U S of A! That guy got that thing wheeling level and straight. Do you know how hard that is to do?
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN A FULL BODYED CADILLAC TAKE OFF THAT QUICK FROM A STANDING START IT JUST BEATS THE SAME OL SAME OL OTHER DIDOS VERY IMPRESSED.
That is awesome !! Love the power windows - nice touch - who's worried about weight ? Seems to have plenty of power to compensate for the weight of the power windows ~ no problem.
This one has a 6.0 LS swapped into it. He built an identical one to this first though that had a boosted 500, it’s currently running around in Norway or Sweden, somewhere across the pond. Cadillac Shawn is his name on Facebook, go check it out!
I guess when you remove all of the pollution control, put in a much larger air intake which will no longer restrict the horsepower from being generated, this is the result of what 425 cubic inches can generate...not ready to do it to mine but WOW what potential!
For anyone interested, I drive a 1977 Cadillac DeVille Delegance, among other things, which I have owned since 1990. I purchased it at age 20 with my mustering out pay from the U.S. Army. It now has 126k miles on it and the oil still stays clean between changes. It is in absolutely fantastic condition and many people want to photograph it if not ride in it with the pillow top seats. So no, I don't think I will modify it like the one in the video. But it's extremely satisfying that the potential is there. It makes me laugh in joy every time I watch it. But even more satisfying that I have driven the same car for almost 30 years. That in itself is an accomplishment, economically as well as environmentally. You can't say that about a Prius...on any level.
That is crazy that he gets that kind of response out of those tires. It just doesn't make sense that he could get enough grip to push all that weight. Very impressive.
That's the same car that was on Pinks all out w a caddy 500 running 10s in 1/4 now it's a motor plate BBC. Some of those late 70s Lacs had aluminum hoods and decklids OEM
Any info on what rear end is in this car? I have a Cadillac about the same year and it’s got 10 bolts on the cover and 12 bolts on the ring gear. Can’t find a lot of info on it, and id like to change the gears
Ooohyeeee! If I imagine one of my 90's Chevy Caprices inhalin' the atmosphere that boss-like... - I mean cars of that physique and weight just zooming out of the picture. I am beyond impressed!!!
My first car was a '78 Coup DeVille de Elegance in canary cream (that's what my dad called it). I've dreamed about this car since '96. I had the 425, at sixteen you can't complain about aluminium heads a four barrel and big block tourqe. I always wanted the 500 though, my mom's '72 was the A1 King of the road if the race started at 60mph (off the line not so much). I always thought the way to go would be a 427 with a 8-71 Weiand. But that ruins the view from that sweet ass Detroit recliner, the nitrous is a classy compact solution. But I digress, thanks for doing what should be done. She's a sweet mochine.
This caddy took on a transformation from last year it's more full on drag car last year it didn't have the header collectors cut through the fender I also don't remember a nitrous set up nor do I remember a 'chute, I LOVED it then I LOVE it MORE now. It sounds much healthier also. One cool Caddy, if I were to name it I'd name it the Juiced Coupe.
I love people who are original with there builds and also love sleepers this fits in to both worlds. Its a finer version of the farm truck lol but less a race car funny to say.
1:10 Power Windows!!!! Im not surprise that they still work they used mini starter motors to run them and I mean u better not have your arm or fingers in the path of those windows because you will pull back a nubb!!!
Logan's Hot Rod & 4X4 We all have those projects in our past. I lusted after a 3S-GTE powered Celica Turbo for over a decade before I finally built one on my second try. The first try I gathered the engine, trans and all the parts I needed before finally chickening out because the 1999 Celica I had ran so perfectly and never broke down. Sold all the parts. Then, some asshat decided he didn’t need to stop for a red light and ended my dream car. That made me realize nothing is forever and I may as well enjoy the time I get to the fullest. I bought another, this time a 1994, and made a solid plan and executed it. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it. I still own that car to this day, although it’s no longer my daily. Apparently, 400whp is where a Toyota’s legendary reliability starts to become less effective. Besides, 8mpg isn’t practical for anything other than the track or the occasional cruise. 😝
Trying to look closely.......i think possible fiberglass front end.......not entirely sure.......it seems to have plenty of front to back weight transfer.......hooks pretty good......almost no twist......just goes straight.......nicely built and driven
He aint NEVER late for church!
Fareal
😂😂😂facts
BWhahahahahaha
On God
He goes right past it though.
I respect anyone who has the balls to be different. That same drivetrain in a lighter, more aerodynamic car would run quicker ET's and mph's. But, not have nearly as much "style."

Ken Hotaling truth
YEA TOTALY AGREE. I LIKED IT WHEN HE WAS PUTTING THE WINDOW UP HOW MANY FAST DRAG CARS CAN DO THAT AS WELL
He's got that chassis dialled in nice👍 No spin, just hook 'n book💪
On a 8.5 slick to!
@@barneymiller7894 See, that's all love right there........who needs big tires to have fun?🔥🔥🔥
Brother Django Dakota what size motor in car
What size motor in caddic
Straight as an arrow.
What's not to love about this car? The colour and shape screams 80's grandparents and hauls a$$ like nothing else. Respect!
70s
Note to self: When you line up against a Caddy with a full roll cage and front fender exhaust... be afraid ...be really afraid.
Just wondering what he gave up for that fender exhaust. A full exhaust and a wider tire would have kept it more low key to me. Fender exhaust means balls to the wall and back. ✌️
LS6-SS Great point! 👍
@@billiebuckamer8189 maybe he was aiming for that look... Idk. A sleeper caddy is so bad ass either way 👊✌️ be safe
LS6-SS Love the old school Big GM cars. 👍
LS6-SS I know. Apparently, not a sleeper. It would be cool to see one do this quietly.
A parachute on a caddy ? It better be big enough to stop the space shuttle .
Jim Braun 🤔😁🤣🤣😮truly
Jim Braun hahahahah
Lol; power windows still working
hey..gotta hear your Tunes n tinted too
Miguel Castaneda ,
I was more surprised that the plastic inserts on the fins were still intact.
@@white_devil73 word , those are usually all cracked up, but now you can get those aftermarket in polyurethane......
fastlonnie1 are they soft or are they the hard kind polyurethane plastic. Who sells those
I’ve watched this many times and it NEVER gets old. Love the badass Caddy. Best part is when he rolls up the driver’s side power window. Freakin’ awesome!
Had to keep the air conditioning in LOL
He probably drove that beast to the track while listening to some smooth tunes. P.S My man even kept the power windows...........damn.
Just Badass to have a 5500lb Land Yacht pull the Front Tire's off the ground..🤘😎
That first launch, I just laughed my ass off. Wasn't expecting all that.
1:21 - That is one very well behaved big block Caddy. Straight, never pull left or right!
I don't know how anyone could give that a thumbs down. That Caddy is cool AF
Spend quite a bit of my day on TH-cam, not often I find a video that makes me smile like this one, love to see a huge tank like this haul ass
Points for keeping the vinyl top and the velour upholstery. Grandma's green bean casserole will NEVER be late for the church potluck in that ride!
Mann she sounds good!
Sweet '78 Caddy! They came with a 425 V-8 and my SedandeVille would haul ass stock. Love it love it LOVE IT!
@ernie woods I bet she was fun! That 500 was TOO much power for a '77-79 Caddy. Especially in a 4door sedan!
@ernie woods Man that is hilarious! I graduated in '87 and that's when I owned my used triple pale yellow '78 SedandeVille. I got laughed at but I could get 7 of my friends in it and still haul ass!! Sure miss those days!
DAMN !!! Wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. 👍👍
Was the AC on 🤔😂💨
Weight reduction, nah..... Aerodynamics, nah....
Custom paint job, dash, interior, nah..... Keep it stock.
JUST ADD MORE MOTOR AND NOS
Maybe a set of rims. Haha
As it should be.
He like rolls up the electric window, cranks james brown on the stereo, cuts the a/c on
This car has been around for a while and has been not disappointing for just as long.
Was NOT expecting that launch! Killer ride! Sounds phenomenal!
I Friggin LOVE that car!! Land yacht that will put the hurt on ya!! No Camaro or mustang here folks.
That thing launches perfect!
Pimpin aint easy -so he got faster pimp mobile
Jake Browne the hoes know they aren’t running when they hear that engine camming down the block. 😂😭..
Who is the hater that gave that a thumbs down? That's the good old U S of A! That guy got that thing wheeling level and straight. Do you know how hard that is to do?
That caddy is awesome. One of my favorite cars
Power windows! I love it. Happiness is a wheel standing caddy! Very cool car!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN A FULL BODYED CADILLAC TAKE OFF THAT QUICK FROM A STANDING START IT JUST BEATS THE SAME OL SAME OL OTHER DIDOS VERY IMPRESSED.
big ass boat running 5's wtf ... the coupe is a luxury masterpiece seeing it on slicks run that quick is just mental
Awesome I love how the power window zips up just before he's ready to take off ....getting warm in here turn on the air-conditioning LOL
MONSTER!!!! 💪💪💪
I half ass expected it to be missing the bumper fillers 😂😂😂😂
That is awesome !! Love the power windows - nice touch - who's worried about weight ? Seems to have plenty of power to compensate for the weight of the power windows ~ no problem.
New meaning to land yaught..that sails the high seas!!
Damn I love those 500cid Cadillac motors, with a 200 shot of nos sure brings that led sled to life !
This one has a 6.0 LS swapped into it. He built an identical one to this first though that had a boosted 500, it’s currently running around in Norway or Sweden, somewhere across the pond. Cadillac Shawn is his name on Facebook, go check it out!
WOW!!! I drive one of these. A 1977 model. Same color to boot.Never knew it had quite that kind of potential!
I guess when you remove all of the pollution control, put in a much larger air intake which will no longer restrict the horsepower from being generated, this is the result of what 425 cubic inches can generate...not ready to do it to mine but WOW what potential!
Mitch gets called into the bosses office Monday morning for doing smokey burnouts on leaving work Friday night. I can see it now!
@@toddburgess6792 Ha Ha I love it Todd! I can see it too!

@@mitchsalawine5420 Not original 425. Smells like a BB Chevy
I believe that is the 1st Caddie to pop a wheelie, I've ever seen.
Ive been waiting along time to see somebody drop a mean motor in a El Dog. I tip my hat to you sir! That thing is vicious!
Man that is crazy! Low 5’s in that tank on what looks like a 275 radial? Would have loved to hear the combo of this beast.
The only guy in America runnin 5's on a plush leather bench seat!
Now that's what I call a smoking Caddy 😎👍🏿
Now that's a dialed in drag car! Nice work!!
For a old car that is probably weighting in close to 5000 LBS is shockingly quick. Nice engine work, very impressive.
Different and laying it down
I love it that is a super sleeper fast way to shut down even the biggest big mouth👍❤
Now thats A SLED !!
That is crazy that he gets that kind of response out of those tires. It just doesn't make sense that he could get enough grip to push all that weight. Very impressive.
Total class with the power window still in the car ! Nice work on the exhaust coming out of the lower front fender ….
That's the same car that was on Pinks all out w a caddy 500 running 10s in 1/4 now it's a motor plate BBC. Some of those late 70s Lacs had aluminum hoods and decklids OEM
Big lac is rolling
When you see a Caddy with a chute, you know shit is about to go down
UR FUNNY. TOTALY AGREE THOUGH.
Hate that missed the event this month. Thank for great coverage of footage.
Any info on what rear end is in this car? I have a Cadillac about the same year and it’s got 10 bolts on the cover and 12 bolts on the ring gear. Can’t find a lot of info on it, and id like to change the gears
Yellow Detroit rocket.
Now that's one kick ass caddy
I love that big yacht!!!💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Ooohyeeee! If I imagine one of my 90's Chevy Caprices inhalin' the atmosphere that boss-like... - I mean cars of that physique and weight just zooming out of the picture. I am beyond impressed!!!
When the low low scene gets boring 😂🤣 dope af though
Love it! Even the power windows work!!
Now that's what you call a very fast boat!
Watch as he rolls up the power windows. HAHAHA
1/8th mile. WGAF?

Such a big car launches perfect, grouse.
I love this oh shoot let me hit the power button to roll the window up before I spray to much laughing gas. Love this car
I love people who are original with there builds and also love sleepers this fits in to both worlds. Its a finer version of the farm truck lol but less a race car funny to say.
First pull was super clean
1:10 Power Windows!!!! Im not surprise that they still work they used mini starter motors to run them and I mean u better not have your arm or fingers in the path of those windows because you will pull back a nubb!!!
LOL! He kept his power windows!! Awesome!!
I wonder if this big girl could do drag week? Running 5's in the 8th and still able to make the 1000 mile drive would be killa.
You sure it's 8th? In Quarter would be Impressive. Clock said 9 anyway.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules yep I'm pretty sure. A 9.20 in the quarter should be a 5.9 (there abouts) in the 8th. Not exact but close.
Highway patrols not gonna dig those fender exits 😂
His 1/8th mile ET of 5.26 equates to about an 8.20 1/4 mile ET.
@@danmyers9372 thanks
Granny is on fire!
That is one angry caddy💪👍😎
I had a similar vision for a 1966 Chrysler 300 2 door hardtop, 440 with a twin turbos; I just never saw it through to completion

Good lordy that boy hooked up on that first run jesus
That is one impressive caddy.
My buddy john Anderson use to have the same caddy in blue. The thing had a 502 in it. For a stock boat it was pretty dam fast
I got a 71 with a 500ci. Pass everything but a gas station
Big Daddy wit da Caddy.
Donk better watch that cream puff.thanks to jmalcom on the clear videos
That's HOGG POWER !!!!!🤙
A CADILLAC!! ❤❤
That's a bad caddy 👍💪💪
THAT'S a REAL gangsta lean!
Actually like the car, love the dopeman engine! This is one fast caddy!
I remember seeing a caddy just like this at Milan dragway when they were filming an episode of pinks all out
NotFeelingVeryCreativeTonight - no where near as fast as this car...
Same car
BADASS DEVILLE!!
Power windows gotta love it !!!!
I guess the long-wheelbase would help it be more resistant to wheelie, it would help put more torque down... Right?
Widget222
Correct
Beautiful car!
My daddy had a caddy, but it wasn't built like this baddie! Lmbo 🔥🔥💪💪💪
Grandpa caddy movin!
With power windows. Bad ass
Trying to look closely.......i think possible fiberglass front end.......not entirely sure.......it seems to have plenty of front to back weight transfer.......hooks pretty good......almost no twist......just goes straight.......nicely built and driven
Cadillac Shawn!
God bless America!!!
Caddy is nice!!
Only driven to the grocery store on Sundays and oh yeah, the track on Saturday nights
That’s amazing
I would have lost that bet
