  • Our FIRST WILL IT RUN video on the channel. I bought a few 1960s Cadillacs and it was time to see if it would run. We were in for a wonderful surprise the more we got into this project. Come along for the journey as we figure out how to get this boat to run after sitting for almost 40 years.

    It seems that this old girl's weeping and expecting to be given a chance to be back on the road again. Stunning vedeo. Thumb up !

    Good score and glad you guys figured out it’s a 472 or 500. I’m cringing to know how much better it runs when somebody realizes its out of time and the dist is probably loose. Hit me up any time you guys need some tips or tricks. I know a lot about the 472/500 caddy’s and have swapped them into a few different Cadillacs over the years. I also have a 66 convertible! Keep up the good vibes. I’m subscribing now! 👌🏻

    Nice!
    Other than a few collapsed lifters and an exhaust leak, that old 429 sounds pretty dern good 👍

    Nice video! Will be interesting to see her all back together. Hopefully it still has the Switch-pitch TH400! They were awesome transmissions, I assume too expensive for GM to keep making. Ask your Dad (or google) if you don't know what they are ;)
