HI BEN,, WOW!! SAD CADDY THOSE WERE THE DAYS.. YOUR RIGHT ANOTHER CADDY SOME THING BROKE ITS BACK...I LIKE THE COLOR GREEN RETRO!! SOME PART ARE CLEAN..IT TAKES A DAM YEAR TO GET OUT OF THE BAG IN THE TRUNK 4:00..HA!!!!! MONEY IS MONEY I WILL TAKE.. 8-TRACK AND RADIO DAM I WOULD TAKE.. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing the tree didn't fall on the car that long ago. Sad to see but I'm glad she wasn't scrapped before that. I had a 75 SDV and loved that car. I want another 74 some day but I want black on black. For me I like the 74 with the round headlights the most Thanks for posting, the yards there also have many late model vehicles as well
I think someone with a screw jack and a thick block of wood could crank that roof up at least enough to do more fine- reshaping. Maybe take out the front seats to make room for the jack, or cut the roof off a lesser donor car and weld it on.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Ok , Last of the land yachts does not alway mean the very last of them ; my late father in-law had 1976 Coupe DeVile , his bother had a 4 door ! Eldo was the last convertible how do I know this ; I own one . 1977 vehicles were more realistic. Have a nice day ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍
I remember someone had a tree fall on the roof of their work van, and he'd claimed that it would have cost 10K to repair it, and insurance totalled it out.
Whoa Nelley, the wood didn't do it any good. Pippen Motor Company is still in business at 1300 W Panola St, Carthage, TX 75633, but it's a Chevrolet, GMC and Buick dealership. We got the VIN, we win: 6 for Cadillac, D for DeVille, 49 for four door sedan hardtop, four window, S for 500 CID V8 with four barrel, 5 for 1975 model year, Q for Clark Street, Detroit, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Clark Street plant as noted operated from 1921 to December 1987. As stated many times, you made it in the world if you arrived in one of these. The 500 CID Cadillac V8 is an ultimate torque monster and a beast of an engine. They are quiet and smooth runners. No tag, can't brag, but can be figured out, no doubt: ST75 for 1975 model year, 6CD49 for Cadillac (6), DeVille (CD), four window four door sedan hardtop (49), FWD for Fleetwood Body Plant, West End Ave, Detroit, MI with final assembly at Clark Street, possible 443 for Antique Medium Jasper leather interior trim, 44 for Jasper Green lower exterior paint, possible A for white vinyl top, 03A, B, C, etc. for a given week of March 1975 production, among other codes. Whoa Nelley, too bad, so sad. That's it, time to quit. Cadu and it's over for you. Jasper Green is about to leave the scene. 500 and gotta go. Carburetor by Edelbrock is nothing but a big crock. Quadrajet was a sure bet. Going to be flat and that's that. Lots of junk in the trunk. Hit by a branch, it needed another chance. Please don't get squished because the Cadu faithful, many here, and yup the Google Man are going to be very, very, very, very pissed.
I have three 1976 Cadillacs they're all in the project stage, but they're in better shape than this car. Lot of valuable Parts on that big Lead Sled. I'm alive today because I was riding in a 1976 Cadillac wind T-boned by another car doing 80 mph. Can't do that with modern cars.
Would make a great convertible❤❤
Good car for restoration!❤
That’s a shame…thanks for sharing Benny.
hay bennie in order to fix that roof they'd have to find another doner caddy.to replace the whole roof.to rebuild. the roof on it .

🏁 Thanks for the video Benny!! 🇺🇲🏁🏁🏁😎🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
The yard will want 15 cents for that dime.
😄 I wouldn't doubt it
Then there will be probably 2 or 3 cent sales tax to add on
8 track radios are hard to come by now, it should be saved. Too bad about the roof of that Caddy.
Anytime I see caddy 500s I think of the Bad Seed Chevette. Steve Magnante was funny back in the 90s with his nerdy lab coat look.

Ughhhhh That Was Very Nice 75 Cadillac Sedan DeVille Until Tree Fell On Top Of Roof But Green On Green It Would Clean Up
Looks like the one in License To Drive after the I beam fell on it
Like the song on the commercial:
Cadillac, Cadillac,Cadillac Style

thanks
If this car was a runner before the tree thing, it would make a hell of a derby car. Just get a sledge hammer and pound the roof up enough to drive.
Be great full every time it rains you know how that Texas heat is would love to go back but stuck in ga and isn’t much better
Mr. B. Here ! 🍸🇺🇸👀😎👍. The very last of the land yachts ! ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
Not correct. 1976 is the same exact vehicle and size. Also, the Eldorado continued as a large barge through the 1978 model year.

Dam the Caddy is as old as me! Hope I don't get hit by a tree.

There’s money in those factory 8 tracks.
🤔 A body shop could fix it. But under that vinyl...
Can that vir be reused with replaceable moisture bags?
Little spit n polish n it will be a nice ride 🇺🇲
Hey Benny do you think the car had a tree fall on it at one point during a thunderstorm?
who knows with this one but that's quite possible
VILMA!
needs two 18" subs in the back.
Sad to see a Caduuu in the yard, to bad the tree did ‘er in. That color though! 🤢
That thing wouldn't have done well in a rollover accident.

They make quite a few after-market parts for the 500, like forged steel crank and rods ,higher lift cams, etc.
Thanks for this cars book information!
I always look forward to your info! Thanks for all your work!
@@oldyellow8120 Sure thing. Remember as stated time and time again, when everyone contributes, everyone learns. Then everyone wins.
@@garymckee63 Indeed they do. The 500 CID Cadillac V8 is a stump puller indeed with gobs of torque.
