If you ever come across a hearse and have time it's worth it to pull the hearse specific hardware. The decorative bars on the sides bring big money along with the rollers and hardware in the back. Hearse restorers are always looking for that stuff.

Whoa Nelley, the hearse is a curse. Yes, I did make that statement some time ago, LOL and for years it was indeed true as most hearses and professional cars were Cadillacs. My father worked at a Cadillac dealer in the 1980s and they used to get hearses and funeral cars in the service department. One kept going on fire every time it came in, so the dealer owner refused to work on it again. Generally, there was a lot of poor wiring done for the upfit and that can lead to electrical fires.

The 425 V8 was available from 1977 to 1979 and also came with EFI (although very few were made). They were a VIN code "T" if they had fuel injection. No tag, can't brag, but I got it figured out, no doubt: ST77 for 1977 model year, 6Z90 for Cadillac commercial chassis short sill cowl, FWD for Fleetwood body plant, aka close by to Clark Street, Detroit, MI assembly, 79E for Claret cloth interior trim, 13L and 13U for Georgian Silver lower and upper exterior paint, possible 05A,B,C, etc. for May 1977 production, A52 for front bench seat. Whoa Nelley, the funeral car won't go very far. Last ride and you can't save its hide. It's now flat and that's that. Yes, the Google Man made a pun and it's all in good fun. That's it, time to quit.

@@garymckee448 Yes, but they aren't that cheap. "Cheap" HP can be had from a Chevrolet V8 because the amount of performance parts is dizzying. Less so for the likes of Pontiac and Cadillac V8s. But that's what makes them unique---not everyone has them. The 425 Cadilac engine made torque, and that was what kept them having reasonable "power" in the emission laden late 1970s.
@@garymckee448 Yes, the Chevrolet V8s were the "crate engines" and after a few years of production, it was tough to get a 400 Pontiac block for instance. They didn't "crate" them like the Targetmaster Chevrolet V8s.

What a rare find in a place like this. Too bad this couldn't be saved especially those who like these for so many different reasons. Thank you for sharing this Cadillac hesrse.
There was a junkyard in North Carolina, went out of business in the late 80's. He had 9 hearses come through over the years. Before they were crushed, he removed the hood ornaments, and waited 1 minute before hitting the switch. 1 minute to remember those who took a final ride. 1 minute to remember the drivers. 1 minute to thank the machine for it's service.
Everybody in the comments "that thing never should've been crushed"... no, it never should've been neglected into that condition that landed the car in there in the first place.
@@ClassicRideSociety Well he was full of sh@$. The car was way to filthy inside and rough. The condition that coach was in the funeral home would have gotten rid of it years ago. Most coaches are traded back in to coach companies, not sold to junkyards,
Hi, there, I saw a hearse in worse condition that went from the funeral home straight to the junkyard. This is because when it was no longer dependable, the guy at the funeral home put it into non-operation for a whole 3 decades, but he bought a new one after the first one became undependable.
I dunno Benny, I would've ripped off the hood ornament beforehand like a hooligan from the 90s. It was in good condition. I believe the engine is a 425 cu.
Perhaps I'm superstitious or paranoid or whatnot but I personally wouldn't want to use parts off a hearse never know what kind of energy could be attached best to let it go

It left Clark Street as an engine, drivetrain, front cowl and front doors. The rest is added on by the coach builder. There probably wasn't much needed for structural integrity as they are typically used in low speed use/slow travel. Plus it was 1977, things were different back then.

It's almost a pleasure. I'm a huge Cadillac guy and I'm about to get ripped apart by Cadillac people. Yes it's a 77 you could tell by the half lens tail lamps. First time they did that since 1969. The problem for me is it was the first year general motors resized their cars. They didn't know what they were doing. Big huge cubic inch motors no horsepower. They were ill proportioned. 77 through 79 were some of the worst selling cadillacs. They were trying all kinds of new things that were stupid. 350 Oldsmobile engines converted to diesel. The 4-6-8 engine. This had more than likely a 425 in it. No longer had its own Cadillac motor. I owned a 77 it was hardly a great cadillac. At least that's my opinion. Plus this model hearse took Elvis to his grave. To me there isn't enough glorious Cadillac here to carry Elvis. Everything about this car is insult. I wish they would have used the 1976 with him. It's the last Cadillac that look like a Cadillac until the 80s came along. The 1980 was modeled after those 71 through 76 Cadillac cars. This is some type of an Oldsmobile with Cadillac emblems. I had a coupe DeVille and there wasn't anything Cadillac about it.Crush baby crush!
Apparently there is not enough demand for the unique components on this coach to justify salvaging any glass or trim. If it was a 1970 or older model year (especially any Cadillac coach with tailfins) then it would be either restored or salvaged for spare parts. There was an upheaval and consolidation in the American coach building industry (centered in Ohio) in the late 1970s. The downsized 1977 Cadillac required a completely new coach body which required expensive engineering. Also, there was high inflation at that time and ambulances based on the Cadillac commercial chassis were rapidly declining in popularity in favor of van-based emergency wagons (the last Cadillac ambulances were manufactured in 1979). Elvis Presley's body was transported in a white 1977 Cadillac hearse...white funeral coaches at that time were considered daring (that particular coach was destroyed in a mechanical failure a few years later).
A lot of ambulances also went to a truck type chassis which is called a Type 1. A Type 2 is a van body, and a Type 3 is a cutaway chassis. In fact, the one that transported Elvis Presley to the hospital in 1977 was found and up and running recently too. I actually decoded it and commented on it.

Elvis Presley hearse his last ride was one those in white those 77 cadillac hearse are hard To come by someone would buy It it wasn't bad shape price metals is High don't care it about old car ill understand it about money not saving old cars
isn't the mileage that kills the value, but rather the age. Hearses do travel short periods, but always at slow speed, and multiple times a day. It's the sitting out and rotting that kills the value. Old hearses don't have any value in the funeral industry, so most end up being put outside the garage by most funeral homes after only a few years. For a hearse of that year to have had any value, it would have had to be maintained in pristine condition, and would have had to be about 40 years older. For that year, it wouldn't see any increase in value till about 2050, and then if it looked showroom new, it would have increased in value.
they had plenty of knowledge. While a decent coach in that year may have potentially fetched some kind of money it wasn't feasible for a junkyard to try to sell it in the condition it was in. Junkyards are in the business of selling what they have as rapidly as possible, and it was indeed more financially feasible to crush it and sell the scrap metal.
