YOu're funny..I live in Cbus and it's way too far south for you to be going through there. That's gotta be Cleveland and uhh.Toledo is a few hours from there.
That accident is a stark reminder of just how dangerous driving is--drive defensively! Wear a seatbelt! Wherever you're trying to go is not worth putting yourself or others in danger. Glad no one lost their lives, but obviously double amputation is life-changing. Stay safe out there 👏
I remember the first time I saw one of these, someone down the street had one when I was a kid. I had no clue these existed and all I could think was “who the F sticks Cadillac badges on a Cavalier?” Apparently the answer was GM LOL
I remember going to a supermarket, in Jersey City, in early 1982. Outside the entrance there was parked a shiny black Cimarron, obviously new, with a smart young man behind the wheel. Two elderly women, evidently known to him, and who would certainly remember the Cadillacs of the 40s and 50s and 60s, were loudly and determinedly telling him "THAT AIN'T NO CADILLAC!".
Thank you for the video. Great trip. That's long trip cleaned out the entire fuel system and sludge in the engine. I had an 88 for 12 years. Only issue was at the end when the entire electrical harness fried. I would get another in a heartbeat.
GM's J car was sold in Europe as the Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Ascona. The modern equivalent is the Vauxhall/Opel Insignia. GM ended up selling the Vauxhall and Opel brands to Groupe PSA so the new models are basically rebadged Citroens and Peugeots.
I'll give you a fun little clue for removing oil off of the floor use the dust from a charcoal grill after it's all burned out the powder of the charcoal dust absorbs the oil like a magnet
We got these as the Opel Ascona C. There was a sporty SRi and a 'luxury' trimlevel Berlina, 1.3L, 1.6L, 1.8L and a 1.6 Diesel. Also in 5dr hatchback. Decent cars back then.
Very nice video:) I do wish the video , like all of them was longer tho but looking forward to your next one! I love your road trip videos keep it up:)
VSS probably has CE light on too. Also TCC lockup solenoid on the THM125 Trans are junk. Some would intermittently lock, fail to lock, or stay locked up causing engine to stall when coming to a stop. But again lockup needs speed input to ecm to work.
So when people used to (and still do) say these computer controlled cars will be long off the road, not like the good older cars....well here we are. Turns out it wasn't too hard at all to get it going again. Are new cars way more complicated than a J-body? Obviously. But if you were a car guy when this Cimarron was new you probably would have sworn there'd be no way or desire to get it back on the road someday. Again, here we are.
Great video I have a Question for you On a stuck Hood on a 1977 chevy I can't open it I've pulled the hood latch but the out side is stuck HELP please do a video on how to release a latch on the out side of the 1977 Chevy Single Cab
We used to call them cavaliers with gold teeth, I remember painting one for a disbarred lawyer in South Royalton who ended up screwing me on my money..
Since you were in New York you should of went by fellow youtuber "South Side Main Auto Repair' and saw if he would have hooked up a fellow youtuber and replaced that thermostat for you.
So that car DOES have cruise control, I don’t know if it worked but it absolutely had it. I was looking at it while you were saying your knee hurt (it was on the stalk to the left of the steering wheel). Lol
@@johnh2514 I agree 100% I drive truck for a living I’ve been to Boston three or four times I haven’t been in the north east in the lash five years don’t care if I never go back
Facts I need to buy me an old gm sometime soon just sold my daily in May to make more room debating weather to buy a brand new car an build my Lexus or keep dailying the Lexus for now an buying an 80s GM project car like a Camaro Suburban or Blazer lol
You know how many cars ply that road on a daily basis ? Ever heard of the City that never sleeps ? Of course the roads gonna be f*vcked, NY is like a corridor state, pls tell us how many tourists come to NY annually.

road trip and car sale in ONE..PS you were getting mighty close to Canada...i bet the Canadian alarms went off..LOL

Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
gm is the king of rebadging
Its a 1000 miles to Wisconson
Weve got a full tank of gas
Half pack of slim jims
Its dark
And were wearing sunglasses
Hit it!!
These are known as a "Glorified cavalier" around here, actually not a bad car if their in the condition as the one you have, Liked, Have a safe trip
I was about to say the same thing!! The Cavaliers were a pretty good car, But... the bodies Always rotted badly and quickly!
First thing I think of when I see the dash is "cavalier".. my ex-girlfriend from yeeeeaaaars ago had an old cavalier with that dash.
Nice to see all those old GM J-Body’s in relatively great shape, I’ve only seen a handful in my life.
17:39
Bet people were making angry wisconsin voices after seeing you do that
lol

Not often you hear about Wisconsin on RUclips... so this peaked me interest :D
and i've watched a shit ton of youtuber's w/ their fixer up cars and trucks, but fixing a Cimarron is a top 10 move my dude.
I respect your work ethic and skill. I also appreciate your chill attitude .
Wow. Wait you’re at 45k subs!? Dude I’ve been watching you for almost 2 years, I think you were at like 11k when I started. Huge respect🙏
tasty cassette AM/FM for the Cimmie! Sweet!
Was Jeb driving in Wisconsin? He went straight in that turn lane by the gas station.... lol
Lol
You and Jeb are glued together lol
I had a 1989 Cavalier Z24 with the 2.8 V6 - have to agree with Bruisers Beaters that the bigger engine makes for a fun J-body!
Great job and awesome driving the 1987 Cadillac CIMARRON
I'll give you a fun little clue for removing oil off of the floor use the dust from a charcoal grill after it's all burned out the powder of the charcoal dust absorbs the oil like a magnet
3:15 Nice tour of Brattleboro VT! 8:10 Rt 7 Troy NY...famously known to locals as 'Troylet".
nice Video Bud, I'm glad it wasn't you having an accident, thank you for sharing your Trip!
“Cimarron always gets the finnest”
😂😂😂😂
Wow his Celebrity is awesome! 2dr's are so scarce now and its beautiful, my 86 is a 4dr but the only one around in WNY! Nice vid!
That Cimarron went to a great home! Sucks about the truck driver, be thankful you didn't leave 60 seconds earlier 😬

Good to see it went to a good home
Mobil 1 is all I use for both filters and oil. Love to see it!
I been waiting for this video for weeks, great job.
"There's nothing else to it, but to do it!"
Some bumper sticker/t-shirt slogan there.

I can't believe you left Jeb !
He had work!
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 that's kind of sad .
That oil filter never coming off . Loll 😂😂😂.
Nice video.. Tempo and road music great...
RV, glad everything worked out....had my fingers crossed the whole trip. Good vid!
9:00 imagine being a delivery driver in a old manual transmission with a stiff clutch 😂😢😩. I know that pain
Chevy Citations had the thermostat right, remove the radiator cap and there it was, no tools required.
older the car the better, more simple and built with quality
I had an 83 Cimarron and I loved it I miss it
That car doesn't have cruise control? Thats unheard of in a Cadillac. They have had cruise control in Cadillac's since the 50s.
VSS probably has CE light on too. Also TCC lockup solenoid on the THM125 Trans are junk. Some would intermittently lock, fail to lock, or stay locked up causing engine to stall when coming to a stop. But again lockup needs speed input to ecm to work.
8:16 Troy NY - you drove right by my street a couple miles back. Sorry about the traffic lol!
Ive had severals 2.8, 3.1, 3100 ect...they all stay that cool when movin....traffic will get up a smidge over 1/2 and the fan start there
Who doesn’t love vice grip garage
It does have cruise control, on the signal stalk, in typical 80's gm fashion, unless its not working.
Fortunate the driver survived that near fatal accident. Losing both legs is better than dying.
Unfortunately he passed away in the hospital
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 shiiiit that sucks
composite lights, mean it's at least a 1987.
I see you were driving down Hoosick st in Troy, NY. That street is almost always horrible with the traffic on it.
That was an awesome road trip.
I miss the Berettas I owned with the 2.8 and 3.1 such good engines
I had an Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.1 - was as reliable as the sunrise ...
Not to mention they sound really good.
Great video wow so much thought into it cant wait for next journey

You stayed at the Red Roof Inn at the Depew exit49.
I saw this wreck on the news - a trucker from Arizona traveling with his 12y/o son ended up dying - the son was OK. Sad

Thought you liked the car, how could you put that FRAM oil filter on.
Great video I have a Question for you On a stuck Hood on a 1977 chevy I can't open it I've pulled the hood latch but the out side is stuck HELP please do a video on how to release a latch on the out side of the 1977 Chevy Single Cab
Try to have someone else pry it open with a screwdriver while you pull the latch
I had the Cavalier version. It was normal for mine to run at about 1/4.
Does that thing have a tape deck, or a fake deck?
When will we see more of the Detroit?
Love the car but man it would be great to see a skyhawk
Wow those are really rare to find now!!!😮
Great job.
Love your vids
We used to call them cavaliers with gold teeth, I remember painting one for a disbarred lawyer in South Royalton who ended up screwing me on my money..
I just read that the trucker that lost his legs in that accident has passed away.
Shitty news but thanks for the update.
Disc golfer huh?! Come play a round in Canada 🇨🇦😉
This is a very collectible car
I like your cross country trips.
I hope the thermostat was as easy as my 84 sunbird.
Ok while watching it was not as easy. My 84 was just below the radiator cap. No tools.
LOVE your vids...and that was Cleveland you were in....not Columbus...
A sincere welcome to Buffalo :-)
I was born in 98 and I'm 24. This car is so powerful it has delayed time by 4 years
And that plug was 1/4 npt (national pipe thread)
If you’re ever back in Alaska, get ahold of me
The Rural Vermonter in cheese head country!
I saw cruise control. I guess it was inop?
You didn’t pass 1 single car the whole way 😂
He's probably just being careful with it. V6 J-body shouldn't have terrible pickup. 130-ish hp. 5 speed and a turbo that thing will slay C4 Vettes.
Not gonna lie, I thought the car was painted with primer before it was polished
Since you were in New York you should of went by fellow youtuber "South Side Main Auto Repair' and saw if he would have hooked up a fellow youtuber and replaced that thermostat for you.
I can't believe GM made a Cadillac, out of a Cavalier.
So that car DOES have cruise control, I don’t know if it worked but it absolutely had it. I was looking at it while you were saying your knee hurt (it was on the stalk to the left of the steering wheel). Lol
It had but didn't work because of the speedometer acting up
Yea read my reply to other comments
Cavalier with leather seats LOL
Poor truck driver that was a nasty crash, thankfully he survived
He did pass later.
Does cruise not work? Because it's on the wiper stalk. I can see it...and as long as the temp isn't above half you're fine
Yea
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 that wasn't Columbus lol. I live in Columbus. Cleveland is up in the same general direction as toledo
7:33 check engine light?🤨Where would it be on that car
You can see it right there on the dash tachometer side
3 points for that oil filter dunk
Awesome
Columbus..... Yea no where near Toledo. Lol
You are so cute. You look like the actor Matthew Lawrence.
Praying to have car work. Sure Jesus gonna be all over that.
It has cruise, it just does not work?
Yes
“There’s Columbus”
*driving through Cleveland😂
All roads leave Cleveland
My first car was a 88 olds Cutlass touring edition with the 2.8L. I loved that car but the cancer took her away from me☹️☹️😭😭
The older cars are the best i still drive older stuff daily. Sucks about the truck driver
Does Jeb Ever go anywhere without getting Lost 🤣🤣🤣
i know i never do !
I heard he got lost on the way to his suburban from his house
In his defense Logan can be a brutal place to get in and out of, especially if you aren’t familiar with Boston and the Mass-hole drivers :)

Hey it was the gps fault 😂 should have just read the signs
those OLD GM keys bring back a lot of memories of grandmas old station wagon.
Did she have a 71-76 clamshell wagon?
Facts I need to buy me an old gm sometime soon just sold my daily in May to make more room debating weather to buy a brand new car an build my Lexus or keep dailying the Lexus for now an buying an 80s GM project car like a Camaro Suburban or Blazer lol

I love how bad the road instantly turned when you crossed into NY. I see NY has universally bad roads no matter which part of the state.

I’m already a subscriber of Brusters Beaters. I have one of his old cars 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport. Love your videos!
I'm glad you still enjoy that car. A lot of memories with that one, for sure.
