- I bought a burnt 2004 Cadillac Deville DHS convertible from Copart for only $750. Non running, and who knows how many miles could be on it! @bigalsbikeandauto and I try to get her to “fire up!”

She’s still running and driving great Anthony. Just took her to South Beach!
Just rub it in my face lol
I've been in the water, fire and smoke home restoration business for over 40 years. Your going to find that the smoke has filtered every nook and cranny inside. You'll have take your time on the cleaning but you'll get there. A piece of advice... Because there was plastic that burned keep her in a dry environment as you work. The smoke can become acid/ corrosive when humidity gets to the smoke and can cause pitting etc. on interior metal as well as even the glass can etch. When you pull her apart make sure you clean the connectors as you go as well.This will be you best detailing job yet. If anyone can you can because of your detail. Just take your time.
I greatly appreciate this comment. Thank you for the advice!
Awesome advice.
I'm shocked you're saying that he will be able to clean it to the point you won't smell smoke. I didn't think it would be possible, but you're in the business so I defer to you. The headliner and the felt-like stuff on the door trim I do wonder if he'll be able to salvage any of the stuff because neither I could ever get clean just from basic dirt. Then the headliner i would say just have it redone by an interior shop. Not trying to be negative though if you say it will clean up I believe you. It's a gorgeous car and yes it runs beautifully. I had a 2007 - slightly different/updated body, but basically the same. 200k and it ran PERFECTLY with not a single issue. Unfortunately I totalled the car, but no issues with it prior. Best of luck with yours SMC...
That was great advice, Thanks.
@@wilsixone I’m assuming knowing anthony he will replace headliner… it will depend how hot smoke got as it rises if it got to foam etc. He will know what to replace after though cleaning.
Brings new meaning to fire sale 🔥
Lol 😆 🤣
Saving this is doing God's work. Well done sir.
No one will clean her up the way you can.
I am interested in this. You know I have been waiting for the right one.
I cannot believe you got that car running. I see it has almost a full tank of gas.Good thing it didnt' blow up. You guys are amazing you can deal with this stuff. The car's 19 years old and still so complex, even back then. I didnt' know custom 4-door convertibles were built so I learned something today.
I can’t wait to see that gem after you get it cleaned up. Another fine pick
I hope you make a series of videos as you rebuild this, would love to see the day to day progress
I love the collaborations with Big Al, great job guys.
Very interesting video, Anthony. You brought it back from destruction.
Anthony this is like a scene from vice grip garage!! Lol he brings cars back from the dead from 30 years or more!! What a find that could have been worse right?, hot ride would be the way to test it . Best thing to do is drive it to see it makes the test of time.. bring paoa bear with you or any one who can fix it in case of anything going wrong. If you don't at least do that tow the sucker for sure!! It
Looks like a diamond in the rough! Great score on this. Let us know what our costs to bring it up to your driving status.. either way it had paid your plane rides back and forth...THANK YOU FOR THE show it proves north star engines can survive.....:)
Thank you Edward. Papa 🐻
You need a reality show
Good job guys. Raised from the dead
I had my doubts at first, can’t believe you guys got her up and running in one evening
too easy to fix. I mean, yeah you're gonna be taking it apart to get it cleaned up, but can't really go wrong at that price point, with those low miles. Nice buy. I'll add that smoke damage I've seen in cars is like corrosive or something, that is undoubtedly where all of the rust and corrosion is coming from. But with a parts car, you're home free. Enjoy the process. Good year too for the Northstar engine- they changed it like mid 04 and that looks like the revised unit. BTW-You can tell immediately by the difference in the engine beauty cover.
All excellent points! Thanks for the comment
It'll be interesting to see what you wind up doing with this car. It would make a great parade car!
Vice grip garage vibes. We need a revival video on this!
Hey Anthony, Love to see you doing this kind of video! Great content for you! And wow what a smoking (Pun) deal! Would love to see you, put this car back together and see what the cost would be to do so! Again, that would be really great content
Great video !! Living in upstate ny spending some time in florida was a much needed adventure. Thanks man
Beautiful Cadillac DHS Convertible!!! Absolutely Stunning!!! Papa Bears New Weekend Company Car!!! Love it!!! Anthony you bought a real beautiful Low mileage “Hot Ride” excellent Buy!!! Beautiful!!!
Thank you Justin 👌. Papa 🐻
Man yall stay with something SPECIAL! LOVE ❤️ IT!
Honestly I wouldn’t touch that car with a 10 foot pole. Sorry!! Tell Papa Bear Hi.
Great to hear from you Pal.We have never had a challenge like this, but we will do our best to make it right. Everyone one has their own opinion and we appreciate yours.Papa 🐻
Awesome can’t wait to see what you do with it
It's Cadillac heaven wherever you're at
Beautiful car! I think you and papa bear absolutely should drive it home! Hopefully that trip goes better than Big Al’s trip in the Sierra!
Enjoyed this video! Big Al rules
29:49 amazing !! Wow you guys should drive it back for sure!! Awesome channel Anthony !! Beautiful car. My dad had a 1970 coupe deville. My fave of the Cadillac series 😊
Hot Ride!! Excellent deal. Glad to see you two together.
Wow, great save! Thanks for sharing!
WOW...EXCELLENT DEAL! Enjoyed this video alot! 😍😎🤗
I love this video. I would love to see you finish this car no matter how you choose to transport it back to NH.
It Looks Like You're Having Fun & Living Life By Doing What You're Doing , You Are Really A True Classic Car Lover Especially Cadillacs , I Really Enjoy Your Videos 👍✌️😎
Congratulations Anthony!!! You got a great deal with this distinct Cadillac convertible!!! I think that you & Papa Bear should drive it back home & maybe when you come to Florida to get it you can meet up with Bill from Curious Cars!!! Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍🙂👍
Hello Christopher that sounds like a cool ride. Papa 🐻
Wow! What a find and 37,500 miles! Very nice but will need a very good cleaning but well worth it!
(You asked) Keep the miles off, be safe and go back to pick it up on the trailer. Or ship it back to NH. You just may have a jackpot hit on your hands depending how much it takes to replace parts and get it cleaned to perfection. Looks weird to see a 4 dr convert but how many were produced/converted and how many left is the key to some weird money! P.S. Love those Naples cars....my '05 LTC 64K miles came from there and love it.
I think that's a good idea. Come back with the trailer and take it home that way. With all he fire damage I'd be leery of making a long trip with it.
Amazing, you are a real PRO !
This was awesome to watch!!
WOW, Good Luck restoring her. It looks like a Big job !!
Once again Anthony you are the man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You will have that back to perfection. Get yourself an ozone machine and change that cabin filter.
Love the car I'm looking for a black one myself can't wait to come across one in good condition!💪💪💯💯🔥🔥
I have a feeling the fire started with the Heated seats!
Yeah, do a video of you both driving it home -would be fun. The car is basically beckoning you to do it anyway. 🙂 Be an interesting clean up project to learn from. Might as well just keep the thing then and drive it as a toy every so often -what the thing was kinda made for anyway -not really a mint daily driver someone would expect to buy from Specialty Motors.....
That is going to be an awesome, and quite unique DHS! Drive it back with Papa Bear!
Hello Johnny that sounds like a cool ride. Papa 🐻
Brilliant vehicular first aid to get the Cadillac running. When you get it back to the workshop I think you’ll be able to get it up to your high standards to sell in mid March when the weather’s pi lining up a bit.
That car is still brand new underneath. Great Salvage! A day of headscratching and you now haw a fun running car at like 90% discount.
Talk about an incredible find & to get it back running
Hey Anthony, seeing this post with you and big, Al reminds me recently a post with auto auction rebuilds Randy, sheer with big Al having bought a Corvette from him! He was on a road trip from Oklahoma and got Covid in big al Took care of him! At any rate, I have been sending Randy a link to your channel frequently for a long time because I know some of that gorgeous vintage Cadillacs in Lincolns you offer at an incredible price he would be interested in! However, he has so many comments I’m sure he never got to those! Still would like to hook you guys up! You and Papa bear are the best! Love your channel!
Al is a class act. He was a great host and I can’t wait to go back and see him again and help on one of his cars.
I suspect the cause was faulty wiring. To make anything out of the vehicle the whole interior needs to be removed so that you are left with an empty shell to rebuild.
Why is that? Ie "faulty wiring"... It just as easily could be a faulty module which results in the same thing - smoke, then fire. As for removing the entire interior, I'm with you up to the dash which I would not remove! Also questionable whether I'd remove the door cards - I don't think so though. The rest of it, pretty much yeah. I don't know how Paul would be able to clean the headliner, I don't believe it can be done. Also the felt-covered whether stripping around the doors I don't believe can be cleaned satisfactorily. Those can be taken from a donor vehicle, which there have to be a few around it being 19 years old...
12:02 got a little spark by your hand when you wiggled that plug.
A 4 door convertible that is a neat right and very rare! I love it, and only in Florida you can find a convertible anything.
Great job.
Hot ride. It might not be smart, but the road trip video will be awesome.
Cool have fun with it.
HOT - RIDE!!
BEAUTIFUL!
Hot ride
Nice deal. It looks like it can be restored
We had a 2004 White Lightning Deville with the faux convertible top in navy. It was beautiful, but this one would be a lot of fun!
Seeing this reminded me about when Cadillacs had heated seats in the late 60s. They abandoned it for years after several car fires.
Another fun video. This will be a resurrection, anyone else would let it go for parts!
Is the Motorola module you found under the front seat may be for the OnStar system?
I had a 1988 Chevrolet Caprice classic wagon, the power seat switch shorted out, smothered burn itself out smoked up the windows and stunk for a few months it fixed it and drove it for years.
very nice hopefully easy fix
Can't wait to see what it looks like when he restores it to its natural glory.
Big Al's Bike & Auto Sent Me To You While Watching His Video
Great car, I hope you do well with it, looks like a winner. Wish you & Papa the best your Friend Bob with the 1949 series 60 Fleetwood Cadillac.
Hi Robert how are you doing? You still have that beautiful 60 Cadillac? Papa 🐻 & Anthony
To Paul@@paulgozzo9178 Yes I still have my 1949 series 60 special Fleetwood. One day when the weather is good, I will drive over to your shop & Give you & Anthony a ride & you will see how nice it rides. I will call first. Your friend Bob.
that engine looked choice! 37l miles. thats a nice side project car. win win
Definitely a HOT ride!!
You got a great deal. These are rare and you can get interiors for these cheap.
Beautiful Car 👍
Absolute bargain what a lovely car well worth a good detail and some new parts. If I was in America I would buy it, mu wife and I were only just asking if there were any 4 door convertible's on the market. Lovely car wished I could buy it as it is!
Hot Ride!
Totally a HOT ride!
Custom soft trim will fit to a tee I'm used to install them it is oem parts make sure kits has side panel included also about 1200 to 1800 look them up they deliver if you have someone to install for you
Good luck Anthony !
If anyone can bring her back to perfection, Anthony can. He just has to get it out of the FLA humidity and back to NH
I can see you and Papa 🐻 driving it back home
Thank you Pal we will surely think about it. Papa 🐻
@@paulgozzo9178 Your very welcome
Looks good
Give it new life love my cadillacs
Make it Papa Bears summer car
Sounds good Paulie but he has already given me a DTS 4dr convertible which I still have. Papa 🐻
Really nice car.
Uncovered électrique cable+ burned the sit !
That's one crusty, carbonized Caddy. The Phoenix rose from the ashes.....looks like this beast may too! A "fun to watch", Anthony. 👍
Hot ride drive it back home in the spring!!!
The rust stain from the red Allante that auto Auction Rebuilds drove to Oklahoma is still on the driveway !
Alex and Big Al, my two favorite fat Italians!
Hot ride 🔥
I'll buy it right now!!!
I have a 99 Northstar 4 dr deviile with 35 k mint condition interested?
I think Coachbuilders also made a Seville/STS convertible conversion too..... maybe a CTS too?
I always knew these Cadillacs were
" HOT"... lol
I don't know why but I despise these models in convertible... Love them in hard tops but the convertible just never did it for me, really good buy!
Appreciate your feedback!
Hot ride!!!!!!!
cts convertible cool. hi al.
Going to have to pretty much remove the whole interior replace or deep clean the carpet pull the dash apart to wipe down all the internals including the HVAC/vent system looks like it's worth saving with a low mileage and good running condition
I live in Florida, and I really wish I had that one 🤣
Hot ride!
Flip it as is!!
I’ll bring her to the finish line so someone will get a turn key summer car
those clips are just safety retainer clips, you have to have a tool to pop that style fuel fitting (quick disconnect). I would have bought that all day for $750. Northstar has always been good to me.
Hot ride!!!!
Anthony looks like Maury from the movie "Goodfellas"
