Made in USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Cadillac was my dream when I lived in USSR! And 34 years ago, when I moved to USA my first car was Cadillac 1979! Great American Car!
Я в России живу ,родился в СССР, живу и никуда не собираюсь уезжать- у моего друга Кадилак Эскалэйд в последнем кузове у соседа Шевроле Тахо 23 года ,в соседнем дворе стоит Кадилак CTS новый и старый шевроле Камаро и Форд Мустанг у знакомого старый форд и GMC ,у меня Тойота Лендкрузер 2023 года, мы никуда жить из России не уезжали и не собираемся, не нужно уезжать в США, что бы машины покупать😂😂😂
Из СССР все голодные приехали в США , бегом покупать старье которое отошло у американцев. Они сейчас на практичных авто, а нп вонючем жрущем старье на которое страховка дороже , сложно парковаться . Все барахло голодные скупали. Сейчас пинками в снг не выгнать. Нужно плохо говорить про США чтоб не ехали маргиналы приспособленцы со всего света со своим менталитетом
My Grandparents bought a 1968 cadillac sedan de ville brand new. Light green metallic, 2 tone green interior, very nice..They were in thier late 70s then. Lifelong Southern California car, it was always garaged. In 1982 when grandpa died at 93, it had 38.000 miles on it! Absolutely like new. Grandma didn't drive any more and sold it..Absolutely in like new condition. I like to think its still in good shape and running around, its possible, my 58 cadillac that my parents bought in 1960 is still on the road.
We absolutely have the most passionate car culture. Everything common to exotic domestic to foreign there is someone here who loves them specializes on them and probably has 15 in yhe back yard in various stages of condition. Guy near me had about 20 70's camaros/firebirds in his back yard. Another guy near me has a ton of old VW vans....
I had a 67 coupe DeVille in 1990 . I had it shipped to the UK , it cost all in car and shipping $4000 ... I was twenty five years old , people in the UK thought I'd won the lottery 😂Man it was perfect no rust no filler perfect paint and interior . It had 67000 original miles on it . Apparently it was in a private collection owned by an old fella from Carolina. What an experience to drive everything worked perfectly. Power seats , power antenna, power windows , self seek FM radio , climate control, cruise control and what amazed me for the year was the automatic dipping headlights .And that engine power wow ..Kept it for several years then sold it to put a deposit on my first house ... Wish I still had it !!! That's life though
Thank you Chris for keeping your videos real. Instead of editing out mistakes. That is just one of the reasons I love your channel. Plus Gus of course.
My absolute favorite year Cadillac. Aesthetically, the classiest of all. Impressive how well it started and ran. Look forward to see what ends up happening to it. I really want one of those someday.
Thank you Chris for keeping your videos real. Instead of editing out mistakes. That is just one of the reasons I love your channel. Plus Gus of course.
I hope acquiring a new property falls into place as one of the most enjoyable things I've witnessed following other automotive channels is talented mechanics getting getting much better working environments for themselves.
I'm from England and I love these old caddys , I know it's not your thing Chris but would to see this fully restored. Love the program keep up the cool work matey
That thing is gigantic! back in the day my mom used to drive a 67 Cuda, my dad took it to work. She couldnt drive his 440 - 4 speed Coronet. She borrowed the lady next doors Caddy similar to your new project. That lady didnt drive much, they went to the officers club for lunch (and probably high balls) and wiped out a parked car pulling out of the parking space man was pops pissed haha.
'66 and '67 are two of my favorite years for Cadillacs. This one has a fantastic original drivetrain, but the body and interior condition put it on that borderline leaning toward a parts donor. Someone with a solid original Western states '67 body and complete interior that had it's drivetrain plucked would be the ideal purchaser for this car. Definitely agree with you though that this car does not belong in a demo derby. Still way too many unobtainium good parts on this car. First time viewer here, Gus made me a new subscriber. 🙂
I remember as a kid in the UK watching US shows in the 70’s in awe of motors like these. And everything American. They were a statement. When will America be great again!
The interior vacuum leak may also be the Neutral safety switch. Cadillac's have an auto parking brake release when you put them in gear. If you have a remote trunk release in the glove box it is likely vacuum too as well as the power locks which also can be activated with the door key.
LOVED this video. I have a soft spot in my heart for Cadillacs. I have never owned one but my grandfather always had one, my coworker has one and my boss has one. As a kid up in Teaneck in the late '60s-early '70s there was a corporate Cadillac office nearby. Everybody who worked there drove a Cadillac. If we were lucky, sometimes somebody was coming out to their car to leave and they would ask us if we wanted to look or sit inside it. We used to ride our bikes around in the parking lot and learn what the different shapes of the rear tail lights were for the different year Cadillacs and then quiz each other on what year a certain Caddy was. The '66 had the line down the middle, the '67 and '68 were the same, the '69 had that upper triangle thing, etc. I wish they had kept that original color of yours also, which was called Pinecrest Green Iridescent. The things my brain retains! Your Caddy is in pretty rough shape interiorwise but thank goodness it is in the right hands now. I never had any doubt that you'd get it running.
When I was 18 I had a white 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood. It had a 429 V8 that was only made for about 2 years. I loved that car. It's one I regret selling.
You can't beat an older model Cadillac! Back in the late 60's I bought a1952 Sedan De Ville while in High School. It needed a little work but what a great car. Like riding on a cloud.
I just love those big pick up trucks, F150 or F350. Spent 4 months in Canada and it's like there is no oil crisis or environmental issues going on at all. Fantastic!
Thanks for clearing something up for me. I always thought Billy Joel was saying drive to the boat and back,not broken back,thanks to you two singing it!😂
Beautiful job, just impressive for an absolute non-mechanic to see with what ease you take everything apart being absolutely confident you will know how to put it back together!
Hey Chris, I just wanted to let you know that I received my hat with custom colored embroidery large NNKH ball cap 🧢. It is a very good weight plus the embroidery is of exceptional quality. Now one of my favorite hats. Appreciate your videos.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Hey Chris, That’s the least I can do, appreciate your channel. The Gus man is so entertaining to watch too. I like watching your adventures with Jen as well. Take care.
As a 5 year old i would sit in the back of these cars and think it was soo big ,i remember saying wow over and over ,just bye it being soo much room .😊
Wow ! I was born 1964 . My first memory of a car was my dads 67 fleetwood . I use to sleep on the rear deck ~ rear dash with my head close to the speaker. The good old days :). Memories . Thanks good vid thumbs up
Great revival! You mentioned cleaning cast iron brake drums and I think with your love of vintage tools, you might consider an electrolysis tank. Super easy to set up and more effective than any other method of cleaning iron or steel. I use it to restore cast iron cookware, tools like spanner wrenches, axes, all kinds of things. All you need is a manual battery charger or at least one with a hold function, scrap metal, water and Soda Wash. Soda wash can be found in the laundry soap aisle or can be made from baking soda by putting it in the oven for 30 min. Once cleaned, the iron can be "seasoned" or steel can be cold blued for protection. Cleaning cookware should have a dedicated tank though and make sure to lead test everything first. Just an idea. Keep up the good work!
Good to see you again Chris! You always find these great cars! My Gosh I had forgotten how big those trunks were. Can you imagine the camping Tents you could stow in there?. Open the trunk, pull up on a handle and a whole 3 bedroom Tent on a mechanical mechanism would unfold, maybe on a convertible motor system Wow! Love the car!
Reminds me of my 1965 Coupe Deville that also was green. I loved the ride quality but unfortunately the motor was missing a couple holes. I especially love the turn signal indicator lights that are built into the front fenders. Good looking out and bringing her back to life - might make a nice restoration project.
If you want your Ashfall to stay really hard take some cement when it’s really hot and it’s oily and Horm and sweep it all over top of your ash fault called. It’ll Harding your ash fault Really nice and tight. Trust me it works.
Yeah, I like that feature much better than having a blinker indicator built into the mirrors like today's cars. They could at least use that on the front fenders even on today's cars instead, just like these old school caddy's do.
If your asphalt isn't sealed, you can flash it with a Portland concrete mix. If you decide on that path, I'd suggest going pretty thick with it considering the work you do. I'd also create a relatively "level" level 20 foot area, with about 1/16" pitch per 3' for drainage. While you're at it, you could install an iron grill covered drain about 2'x4' in the middle for draining fluids into a catch reservoir, or removable catch can. The covers are important, not just so you don't fall into them, but so the pets won't drink any coolant, etc. Apparently coolant has a sweet taste, especially to cats. (edit-I am no professional, just a dude with an idea)
Well done man! Hands of gold, for which you do not take everything you do. And you understand all the mechanics. Good luck with your further recovery! Russia St. Petersburg looks at you with great pleasure! It is a pity that we cannot buy such machines and it is very expensive to restore them. I'm just jealous of your garage equipment......
First Vice Grip Garage and now No Nonsense Know How - WHAT IS IT ABOUT THESE OLD CADILLAC (ac ac ac ac acs) that lead me to subscribe to new YouTude channels.

I have my Dad's 1967 Cadillac deVille convertible. 201,000 miles and I have spent a fortune keeping it alive and running. I see your car and the condition its in and I feel good that mine is in such great condition. It is so hard to find parts for these cars.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow . Frank truth, you are a very, very, good mechanic. I want to work with you, what do you say, brother. And well, I didn't know that you were such a good guitarist, because I am. I am doing,
In 78 my first car was a 68 caddy with 36000 miles. The car was mint! I put a decent stereo in it with a equalizer booster and Jenson triaxial and a bumper sticker that said Disco Sucks. 😂 Good times!
My Uncle drives his 66 Fleetwood daily and cross country for horse sales. He put a new jasper motor in 5 years ago, slightly overheats while driving on long upgrades. Had all the experts come look, still no luck. I hope I'm the one to inherit it
I had a '66. Flat black with dual exhaust and glass packs. My X girlfriends best friend took a random picture of me at night exiting the car just for fun should've seen the size and the amount of Orbs next to me. 👻 I traded her for a '64 Impala 4 door. Good trade. Love the ride man but pressure wash it next time buddy! That vacuuming was killing me. Lol. Still jealous. 👌👌😎😎👌👌
Coffee and NNKH. Great way to start a Saturday. Jen is going to need a phone book to drive that ship. Gotta say with all of these old abandoned cars you dig up I bet you find Jimmy Hoffa.
please dont buy less than 20 acres, you need to move out of state or up near camarata lol, yall are hilarious and so entertaining to watch always butting heads 😀
LOVE the long format videos Chris. Now make "extended" editions like Lord of the rings. Speaking for myself as a fellow wrench turning I love to see ALL the details.
Just yesterday, Oregon passed legislation to let people pump their own gas if they want. The price has to be the same as the other pumps however. NJ is the last hold out.
When I worked for a landscaping company I always wondered why the front tires on the trailer wore out way before the rear tires. Makes sense now how you explained it.
My step dad had one years ago . He wasn't a good driver and took it into the ditch . Then he tried to crank it out and the front end bit into the ground and it went nose down ass up and over . Landed on it's roof . That roof only collapsed about 3-4 inches . In Canada we refer to those big old boats as "Lead Sleds" .
Good-Nite I thought you were gonna need bail money for a second. 🤣🤣 it is a cool, looking car and at least if nothing else you’ve got a decent spare motor. Keep up the good work young man.
I believe the long horn is called a trumpet horn and was an accessory but normally standard on the eldorados! It was tuned to a "C" pitch and sounded vaguely like a train horn in conjunction with the two standard horns.
i love this guy,.... cannot read or write , but singing, , has a beautiful wife, a perfect ship shape German Dachshound , two right hands, a brillant brain .. starts the engine immediately, half an hour later comes the oil, another hour later the cooling water directly out of the swimming pool, than he is attaching 2 wings on this black super car, and flying away 🎉 hugs dd
Great video. I love watching videos like this bringing back old classics like this. Keep up the good work! Much better than watching these cars get crushed in junkyards. Those videos kill me.
love my tilt bed trailer, however you should of gotten one where the ram is under the trailer and not in front. 2 reasons. 1 it makes the tongue of the trailer shorter thus making the trailer shorter thus making it easier to get around in tight places. and 2 it allows for you to mount the winch in front of the deck and not on it which clears up extra space and allows you to winch long cars and trucks that extra foot that you always seem to need, and you dont have to worry near as much about running into the winch and damaging it.
Hey Chris, really enjoyed this. When you have a collection of American cars, and I watch this - it just inspires. Thank you. Regards, Fletch - Classic Restos TV - Australia. Ps: oh, and love your Sausage dog...he's a real gem 👍
It's a shame to see that car in that shape, but it's really great to see that you're going to find someone to give it a second chance. I think she should get put back on the road, no doubt! An olds 88 could be a demolition derby car, this.. this is a boat of a beauty!!
A lot of people who used to derby no longer do it because now it's all about winning money, not just for fun anymore. But a lot will still do it for the money of course.
Knew a guy that had the same car…Pinecrest Green with Black leather seats. He sold it to a neighbor and then the neighbor was selling it. Wanted to buy it so bad but didn’t have the money at the time
"mr. gus...go get the ball gus...repeat...go get the ball..." gus advances and barks at the ambulance. that was the funniest thing i've seen all week. gus is adorable.
Great Video Chris, What A Cool Old Cadillac, Love The Old Big-Block, V-8, GM Vehicle Of That Era, Those Rims Look Like Jaguar Wheels From The 70’s & 80’s..
This looks like "Christine " long lost brother who has come to seek revenge. And wow, is he a mean looking mutha 😂, don't want to mess with him. Another great video. Gus is the world's most spoilt dog but all dogs deserve that. He needs a brother or sister of his own, to assist barking at the neighbors dogs
Love your attitude towards these old machines. They should be put back into working condition so people who don't have a lot of money can enjoy them, they don't need to be fully restored to become speculative assets for the wealthy to store in their climate controlled garages. It also represents direct action against environmental waste, not just talking about it or donating to charities. There are so many machines out there that have life left in them, replacing them with new ones means more resources extracted from the earth at increasingly greater monetary and environmental cost.
We used to have a pink 68 sedan de ville over here in the Uk. Lovely car but soooo expensive to run. If we went out for a meal the fuel cost more than the meal! In the Uk everybody stares at you wherever you go.
If your asphalt gets sweaty with oil when it gets really hot out, take a bag of artery fixed already mixed Smit mix sweep it onto your asphalt. It’ll be like steel. Trust me. It’s an old Italian recipe or asphalt hard.

While you're at it, you could install an iron grill covered drain about 2'x4' in the middle for draining fluids into a catch reservoir, or removable catch can. The covers are important, not just so you don't fall into them, but so the pets won't drink any coolant, etc. Apparently coolant has a sweet taste, especially to cats. (edit-I am no professional, just a dude with an idea)
Well done man! Hands of gold, for which you do not take everything you do. And you understand all the mechanics. Good luck with your further recovery! Russia St. Petersburg looks at you with great pleasure! It is a pity that we cannot buy such machines and it is very expensive to restore them. I'm just jealous of your garage equipment......
First Vice Grip Garage and now No Nonsense Know How - WHAT IS IT ABOUT THESE OLD CADILLAC (ac ac ac ac acs) that lead me to subscribe to new YouTude channels.
This is real Good!🤠
Nobody can accuse you of picking the easy projects!Yikes!!! Can’t stop laughing about the “spare motor for the airboat” bailout option. You are unique!
👍
man your videos are like theropy to me i had long day of work today and your videos helped me relax my mind and body ...love ur videos keep em coming !!!
Coolest commercial ever! They don’t make car commercials like that anymore!
I have my Dad's 1967 Cadillac deVille convertible. 201,000 miles and I have spent a fortune keeping it alive and running. I see your car and the condition its in and I feel good that mine is in such great condition. It is so hard to find parts for these cars.
Absolute honest, unedited and real content. No fancy stuff, just what we tune in to see. Gus is the extra perk; we love this pup! Thanks Chris!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow . Frank truth, you are a very, very, good mechanic. I want to work with you, what do you say, brother. And well, I didn't know that you were such a good guitarist, because I am. I am doing,
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow .I play jazz, thank you my brother
give it a rest

Awesome find Chris!!
She's a looker. A true living room on wheels.
In 78 my first car was a 68 caddy with 36000 miles. The car was mint! I put a decent stereo in it with a equalizer booster and Jenson triaxial and a bumper sticker that said Disco Sucks. 😂 Good times!
Lol that’s funny. Way before my time but still funny 😂.
My Uncle drives his 66 Fleetwood daily and cross country for horse sales. He put a new jasper motor in 5 years ago, slightly overheats while driving on long upgrades. Had all the experts come look, still no luck. I hope I'm the one to inherit it
I had a '66. Flat black with dual exhaust and glass packs. My X girlfriends best friend took a random picture of me at night exiting the car just for fun should've seen the size and the amount of Orbs next to me. 👻 I traded her for a '64 Impala 4 door. Good trade. Love the ride man but pressure wash it next time buddy! That vacuuming was killing me. Lol. Still jealous. 👌👌😎😎👌👌
Love the way you always clean your projects. So ezy to work on a clean area.
Coffee and NNKH. Great way to start a Saturday. Jen is going to need a phone book to drive that ship. Gotta say with all of these old abandoned cars you dig up I bet you find Jimmy Hoffa.
Nope! Whoever did Hoffa was a professional
please dont buy less than 20 acres, you need to move out of state or up near camarata lol, yall are hilarious and so entertaining to watch always butting heads 😀
i'm not a big american car fan, but these old american cars looook so good.
This guy must have the best neighbors on the planet.
LOVE the long format videos Chris. Now make "extended" editions like Lord of the rings. Speaking for myself as a fellow wrench turning I love to see ALL the details.
Just yesterday, Oregon passed legislation to let people pump their own gas if they want. The price has to be the same as the other pumps however. NJ is the last hold out.
That's awesome! Yeah I was in Oregon many years ago and learned that it was the only other state. What a stupid rule
When I worked for a landscaping company I always wondered why the front tires on the trailer wore out way before the rear tires. Makes sense now how you explained it.
Yeah they get scrubbed sideways when turning
Tried to find a wheel comment 😂. Those chrome wheels in the trunk are from Jaguar series 1 and 2 (XJ6 and XJ12)
My step dad had one years ago . He wasn't a good driver and took it into the ditch . Then he tried to crank it out and the front end bit into the ground and it went nose down ass up and over . Landed on it's roof . That roof only collapsed about 3-4 inches . In Canada we refer to those big old boats as "Lead Sleds" .
I dont care what anyone says about you filming the trunk cleaning..
It sure is satisfying to watch😂😂👍
I love that original color - Ford had one similar in '68 called Lime Green Metallic. And tell Gus Dog that Mortske's Duff Dog woulda got in there!
Good-Nite I thought you were gonna need bail money for a second. 🤣🤣 it is a cool, looking car and at least if nothing else you’ve got a decent spare motor. Keep up the good work young man.
I believe the long horn is called a trumpet horn and was an accessory but normally standard on the eldorados! It was tuned to a "C" pitch and sounded vaguely like a train horn in conjunction with the two standard horns.
They usually had 4, A C D F, 2 note is just A F. I'm guessing the empty hole is the missing horn.
i love this guy,.... cannot read or write , but singing, , has a beautiful wife, a perfect ship shape German Dachshound , two right hands, a brillant brain .. starts the engine immediately, half an hour later comes the oil, another hour later the cooling water directly out of the swimming pool, than he
is attaching 2 wings on this black super car, and flying away 🎉 hugs dd
You two and Gus and Turbo ! What a great little family ❤
Chris for the love of god don't sell that Caddy, get her sorted and do a roadtrip!!!!
That thing is awesome 👍
It's also pot ugly😂
Love your work Chris!! Keep those videos coming!!. I'm still amazed at how that tundra is doing after going underwater.
Man they sure don’t make them like they used to! She sounds amazingly great for sitting rotting away! Great job!
Great video. I love watching videos like this bringing back old classics like this. Keep up the good work! Much better than watching these cars get crushed in junkyards. Those videos kill me.
love my tilt bed trailer, however you should of gotten one where the ram is under the trailer and not in front. 2 reasons. 1 it makes the tongue of the trailer shorter thus making the trailer shorter thus making it easier to get around in tight places. and 2 it allows for you to mount the winch in front of the deck and not on it which clears up extra space and allows you to winch long cars and trucks that extra foot that you always seem to need, and you dont have to worry near as much about running into the winch and damaging it.
The glory days of the land yachts, drove a Lincoln that seemed to be 30ft long, 8mpg but back then a twenty spot would fill a 32 gal fuel tank.
Even with all that, I still love to go back..
@@moomoo9143 you got that right, good times. :)
If I could buy it I’d fix her up. But I don’t have the money. Such a cool car.
Awesome find Chris, Hope that thing gets a Paint Job because it deserves it
Hey Chris, really enjoyed this. When you have a collection of American cars, and I watch this - it just inspires.
Thank you. Regards, Fletch - Classic Restos TV - Australia.
Ps: oh, and love your Sausage dog...he's a real gem 👍
I remember that Quiet Riot song SLICK BLACK CADILLAC! I'm a metalhead so that's the first song I thought of when I saw this car.
It's a shame to see that car in that shape, but it's really great to see that you're going to find someone to give it a second chance. I think she should get put back on the road, no doubt! An olds 88 could be a demolition derby car, this.. this is a boat of a beauty!!
A lot of people who used to derby no longer do it because now it's all about winning money, not just for fun anymore. But a lot will still do it for the money of course.
Love your work Chris!! Keep those videos coming!!
The 429 had 345bhp, but needed high octane for its' 10.5:1 compression. Silky power, more difficult to restore than the 472's.
Knew a guy that had the same car…Pinecrest Green with Black leather seats. He sold it to a neighbor and then the neighbor was selling it. Wanted to buy it so bad but didn’t have the money at the time
Now this is a great looking boat. Keep up the great work.
Брутальность и мощь этого авто, поражают. Мечта, а не машина ❤
Отличное было время
@@user-yeBan4ik Да, шестидесятые были везде хороши. Кроме Вьетнама и Китая. 🤣
"mr. gus...go get the ball gus...repeat...go get the ball..." gus advances and barks at the ambulance. that was the funniest thing i've seen all week. gus is adorable.
Great Video Chris, What A Cool Old Cadillac, Love The Old Big-Block, V-8, GM Vehicle Of That Era, Those Rims Look Like Jaguar Wheels From The 70’s & 80’s..
This looks like "Christine " long lost brother who has come to seek revenge. And wow, is he a mean looking mutha 😂, don't want to mess with him.
Another great video.
Gus is the world's most spoilt dog but all dogs deserve that.
He needs a brother or sister of his own, to assist barking at the neighbors dogs
Greetings from Cincinnati says the Mrs has a $10,000,000(thats $ten million) voice. Beautiful singing voice✌️
The air horn is an option it's called an Eldorado horn. You will also have a high and low horns as well
Trumpet horn.
@@jeffrobodine8579I called it a air horn because that's what he referred it to. I had the same set on my 65 Cadillac
Love your attitude towards these old machines. They should be put back into working condition so people who don't have a lot of money can enjoy them, they don't need to be fully restored to become speculative assets for the wealthy to store in their climate controlled garages. It also represents direct action against environmental waste, not just talking about it or donating to charities. There are so many machines out there that have life left in them, replacing them with new ones means more resources extracted from the earth at increasingly greater monetary and environmental cost.
We used to have a pink 68 sedan de ville over here in the Uk. Lovely car but soooo expensive to run. If we went out for a meal the fuel cost more than the meal! In the Uk everybody stares at you wherever you go.
If your asphalt gets sweaty with oil when it gets really hot out, take a bag of artery fixed already mixed Smit mix sweep it onto your asphalt. It’ll be like steel. Trust me. It’s an old Italian recipe or asphalt hard.
This car deserves a frame-up restoration, it's by far the hottest car on the channel. Trunk looks like Billy Batts took a ride inside
