this is one of my bucket list cars,a '65 caddy! the '59 is my favorite,but i can't afford one,so this will do. the pics are when we got it on the trailer. what a tank!! she is going to sit for a while until i get caught up on home projects and duster stuff.

me too! i finally have a good start. i have some new zo6 rotors and some EVO brembo's i am going to try to put on the front. but i have to get her running first. i think she will eventually be a 6.0 LS/ manual.

Good choice on the manual.....

that's cool. i am excited about getting to work on it,but getting the duster ready for RTTS and now RTTOS has been keeping me busy. i am hoping around mid summer we can get it running,and if it drives,go from there.

i got her on all fours the other day before i went back to work for the week. i put a crappy battery in her and she turned over,so i hope that is a good sign!

i haven't been back to update so here it is. lol! we did get her running! i was hoping since she is showing a mere 48k miles on the odometer the motor was good,and i was right! some usual tune up parts plus a fuel pump and a make-shift gas tank and she fired up! the carbs needs some attention,but she will idle smooth when she starts warming up. i was concerned about the trans,but i have driven her around the yard numerous times to move the beast around. unfortunately,the whole pro-tour thing with racing the duster is eating cash AND time! i have another car,a 1969 gtx clone,in the body shop in S.C. so it just gets to be too much. so with that,and all the other things we are into,i am going to have to put her in good hands with someone else. i have wanted one of these cars for years,but the timing just isn't right. i did get an aluminum radiator on ebay that bolts in for a song! with a good day of work,this thing could be on the road! i have posted her on here for anyone interested.
