- This 1971 Cadillac Coupe Deville has been sitting in the back of an old plumbing supply Warehouse for years. Will it run and drive or was it parked for a reason? Let's find out!
I started filming this a few months ago but ended up doing video on the Grand Marquis and Boat seen in this video first. Here they are:

The bent valve fix without removing the head was a stroke of genius
I'm not a mechanic and have no idea if what he did was right or not but it looks absolutely genius 😳 and experience!
I have to say it made me wince, even more so that he put some grinding paste in there with no way of getting that out again but clever 'flip it to the next guy' fix.
Not like this a formula 1 car.☺️ Its about breathing life back into these neglected cars ✌️
@@BikingChap all the fuel pumping through that 150hp beast will soon flush out anything inside
Could you have rebuilt the original distributor ?
You have one of the best channels on RUclips. What a neat old plumbing supply store. Keep up the great videos Chris and Jenn.
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words and thank you for tuning in
Couldn’t agree more - I don’t understand how you haven’t already launched to a million subs
Because he's a hack. Real mechanics don't subscribe to half assed work
@@truckabob so why are you here watching then
@@truckabob you need to chill out man, chris and jen are awesome people, you are just a hater spreading toxic comments on other people's channel.
That bent valve fix blew my mind.
As a former tow truck driver you are indeed hooking it up correctly. Tow hooks always go under the rear axle. Thanks for your content.
Cool. Thank you for the info!
There are some “quick pins” you can install in the boom, to lift cars by the steel bumper, not sure if your sling has the provisions for them.
Correct
Fixing the bent valve like that was pure genius. And to think you said you weren't a mechanic!
I'm 68 now and I have been a mechanic all my life. and I have to say. I've niver seen a valve fixed like that. Every day is a school day. We'll done buddy brilliant job. Keep the videos coming.
Agree 100%, every day really is a school day on the 'tube - learn new stuff & get all these tips for us mechanical guys, I'm addicted to it !
That valve diagnosis and fix was amazing 👍👍👍👍
Your abilities never cease to amaze me. The valve deal was just old school, and successful....priceless. You, Jen and Gus are worth every watch....
First time I've ever seen a bent valve be sorted in situ with 6 whacks of a hammer! You never cease to amaze me, Chris.👌
Not at all complicated. Just need to use your head. And this guy does so. Most don't.
He's a legend!!
1971 was the last year of high school for me. I started my auto mechanic's apprenticeship then in a Chrysler plymouth dealership s a used car tech. I worked on a traded Cadillac just like that one...I'll never forget it. Thanks for the memories !
Walked pass this place everyday from school and remember seeing a couple Caddys in the warehouse back lot. That was in the 80's and 90's.
i towed 30 yrs and your hookup was spot on. great job
Awesome, thanks for the reassurance. Appreciate it
What a cool old store. It is so sad to see so few of them left.
I had a 75 Cadillac Sedan Deville with the 500ci V8 and HEI. It got about 8 MPG, but was like driving around your living room. What a car!
Mines at 13 to 14 av
Straightening a bent valve with a brass hammer. Holy Crap!! Good job!!
Chris, I'm SUPER IMPRESSED with your diagnostics and repair on that bent intake valve. Absolutely brilliant! What a well preserved car. Too bad there aren't more around in that condition. And to sell it to the prior owners friend . . . it's in the right place. Great video!
How often does this golden opportunity present it self? Forget the three cars. The nostalgia of your roots. Rock on brother !
I'm not even 6 minutes into this video and this is the exact dream car I would like to have for the rest of my life. I'm 56 years old and became disabled 4 years ago. I just left my wife a week ago ❤ because all I did was laid in bed. I'm disabled it hurt anyhow this would be my dream car to finish out the rest of my life with as a daily driver. I used to be 6'8 but now I'm 6'6 and 1/2 and I have osteoarthritis, double hip replacement, knee replacement, two different fusions that became one fusing T12 down to s1. God I'd love to have something like this just to run my errands. Because I wouldn't care about the gas mileage alls I care about is the comfort. This bring back memories when I used to have a 73 Olds Delta 88 four-door. 455 rocket with a turbo 400 tranny. With highway gears. Used to drive at 100 mi an hour everywhere I went You got 10 mi a gallon. Drove it easy to try to save some money and it got 10 mi a gallon lol anyhow thanks for reading my ramblings. I am a faithful follower of your channel. Love your content.
Good luck friend.
Id guess he is going to sell it
I hope he wasn't asking 4 a free car
And I can say that I live in a tent!

You r a mechanical genius as well as having a Well Rounded education & interests....Your channel is always entertaining on so many levels.....Betteer get a ring on that Talented Intelligent & Fun Doll Baby Jen.....She is a keeper Brother.
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried. I love hearing those beautiful classic tunes in the background while you’re working on the classic cars. It’s almost poetic considering someone was likely driving that car lightening to those songs when they were still new.
Great tunes.
I was just thinking the same thing while watching. I love his and Jenn’s music in every video as it’s the same I listen to. Maybe a NNKH Spotify playlist? Hahah
Never seen a valve-job like this. WOW, good job !👍
I had a great job as an engineer right out of college in 1970. I bought a 1970 olds delta 88 coupe brand new. Loved that old gm v8 machine. This caddy reminds me of my car but much more upscale as. Caddy of course. Makes my day when you post a new long video for us fans.
I had the '69 Delta 88 Coupe with the Rocket 350 motor. That was such a fun car.
One of the cleanest rust free, mice free vehicles you have had! 💯👌
Indeed!
54:02 Gus is like "you're not tricking me this time, Oh wait you really are getting in"
Keep putting out the great videos. So happy when I see a new video on your channel. Thanks!
Gosh dang Chuck! Thank you so very much for the support. And thanks very much for tuning in as well as being a member!

The Bent Valve .... trick ... was off the chain ... Wow !!! ... Glad it found a great home ...
You continue to amaze me with the amount of stuff you are able to fix on your lot.
ah yes, its a good day when NNKW uploads. Chris, just wanna say, i am currently at technical training for the air force and life here isn't exactly fun and games, but your content is a nice escape from all the madness here. thank you!
Your videos are pretty mesmerizing. One hour video only seems like 20 minutes because I get so involved in what you're doing. Your problem solving skills are amazing. Keep up the excellent work, I love what you do
You would love the old school locksmith shop I work at. 1963 Chrysler Imperial out front, old lathe, old wine making press, antique key machines still in use, 1903 cash register, 1940s era coin counter, old early 1900's metal stamp machine and tons more stuff
Sounds awesome!
I'm a boat guy but love this old Caddy
Thanks very much for the tip! And more boat videos to come in the future
Another old gem saved , nicely done 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸 You and Jen have great channels, that will continue to grow. 🍻🇺🇸
It is a shame to see these old local businesses vanishing, just can’t get that kind of knowledge and service from the big box stores.😢
Videography is so professional. The content is always stellar my friend. Best RUclips channel on RUclips. Your on air presence is so laid back and natural.
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. I try to keep it chill for the most part.
I don't know anything really about cars, I grew up with guitars, I know how to build, fix, and play. But I love this channel. Don't usually have much to say about it but had a couple of beers and felt like saying I really enjoy your videos. Thanks man. Keep on rockn.
it's like like watching Sherlock Holmes but with cars
One of the most amazing valve repairs I have ever seen. 👍😁
Straightening a bent valve and lapping it without removing the head is amazing Chris, I’m not a mechanic and I’m 63 years old but I’m still enjoying learning from you my friend! I’ve learned more about engines from you than anyone else brother! Clint from C&C equipment is the one that knows diesel engines! Yall are amazing to watch my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you have the best selection of hoarded used parts that I’ve ever seen and I love how you have everything organized Chris! That’s so cool my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊 It’s a shame you weren’t on your new property and had the size shop that you really wanted! But I still love the shop you built until yall find your dream place! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I keep saying it: nothing better then these old landyachts. Keep em coming Chris.
I can't believe the shape of those fender skirts. This thing is a cream puff. It has that caddy horn.
If I didn’t live so far away I would buy that car in a heartbeat.What a weekend cruiser. It’s beautiful.
I'm an old tow truck driver from back in those days meaning cars with bumpers, I had 1 4' 4x4 and two 1' 4x4 to put between the chains to protect the tank. That's just my tip. Good job.
Friday night with pizza and NNKH sweet deal!
Brings back great memories of my mother's 1971 triple green Coupe De Ville bought when I was 15 years old. It was a beautiful and powerful car although materials quality wise it was a step down from my parent's '67 Cadillac. I was luckly enough to get plenty of wheel time on the '71 after I got my license and before I headed off to college two years later.
What a beautiful car . Glad to see she went to the original owners friend. He will take care of it the way it should be cared for.
The tow truck was a nice touch. Cool to see vintage towing a vintage
The only thing I would recommend when towing with the sling is to lock the pins on the arms, you want them open when you are hooking up but locked while towing. Also, keep a 4x4 on the truck as well...some cars the bumper is not strong enough to hold the weight and you can put the 4x4 on top of the chains to hit on the frame if it reaches (mainly when towing from the front) and can stop from smashing the radiator support. I also carried a couple pool noodles to put over the chains when they were rubbing on something like the gas tank. Otherwise looked pretty good.
Thanks for the tips man!
Nostalgia! We had the Australian version of the 70's Caddy Deville - The Holden "Statesman" Deville. A totally mint top of the line 4 door right hand drive auto leather top with electronic buttons for everything and 9 ashtrays ... was the first vehicle I ever drove. Managed to convince my mother to let behind the wheel one day and I scratched the fugg out of all the chrome down one side. Dang it! Awsome channel Chris your a legend!
That collection of photos of Anthony Barruzza (The Firefighter) at the end was a reminder that we are here for only a short time. Respectfully included in your video.
That plumbing warehouse was super cool
I like the way you operate Chris! I call it “Getting the Job Done!
You are the best mechanic I've ever saw... period!!! 😂
70's boat cars are still my favorite era. Comfy, V8 power, and tons of room. Best road trip car ever!
I have cast iron baseboards in my house in Maine. Love them. Stay hot for a very long time after furnace shuts off.
The Caddy sounded great when the new owner drove off, great work! Also I always chuckle when you do your driving footage and drone footage as I recognize most of it as I have lived about 10 minuites from where you got the Caddy most of my life. Keep up the good work.
I frickin love your style and techniques!!!! Mind blown! I’m learning so many good ways to fix problems
Awesome to hear that you learn a few things from the videos! I'm always learning myself! Always a new adventure
Now this here is my FAVORITE type of auto revival video!! I just LOVE seeing cars fixed up and given lots of love and a new lease on life! Thanks for the upload!
NNKH for the win as usual! Dude you're a genius. Nice work!!
Yea those old mom and pop type stores are far few between. Sadly. They are what built America, i might only be a Gen X born 1980 but i can appreciate them i remember some of those shops as a kid. From Locksmiths to baseball card shops to Napa parts to Independent Drug stores, They lined every town square big and small even in the 1980s
Born in 1975 myself. Is a lot of those stores that have disappeared in the past 30 years. 😊
Eurythmics! Sweet Dreams are made of this!😍😍😍🥰
I’ve worked on cars my whole life and that bent valve diagnosis & fix was so impressive to me and why I love watching you tinker with stuff. You do things sometimes that just wouldn’t ever occur to me as an option and I love seeing people think outside of the box to repair something. I’m sure some people would criticize a repair like that, but I love it, and I actually learned something from it too.
What a sweetheart! love that old yacht.
Brian from new Zealand I am a complex nurse we love your channel my lads are all living on beds bless we will wait for the next car
Probably one of your best videos ever. I bet the owner got a whopping bill to rebuild the engine and that put the Cadillac on the back burner
You would have loved Surplus Tools and Commodities in Denver. Imagine if that tool section was the size of the entire plumbing supply house, with some stock predating WWII. The hand lettered pegboard and parts hanging from the ceiling specifically have the same feel.
Many people my parents age had been going there since they were kids. They closed in 2022. It's sad to see these places go.
What can’t you fix Chris? Simply amazing
As cool as straightening that valve and its effect…. Getting that FRAM oil filter off was the best improvement haha. Nice stuff Chris I love the think on your feet and outside the box method of fixing it good enough
Love the videos man! My mind was blown that you straightened the valve that way!
Just discovered your channel about a week ago and it has turned in one of my favorites! Great work bro!
Awesome to hear that and thanks so much for tuning in!
Wow! That valve fix was amazing.
37:48 good lord chris you are a genius! this is how I justify watching several hours of auto content a day is picking up tricks like this!
Oil changed on my bday! RockOn and great episode.
Happy belated birthday!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Thank you NNKH!
Amazing valve repair! Great ingenuity.
Gotta love them old Caddies!!!
I'm only two minutes in and I had to pause to comment. A hood ornament is top priority on this car...not only does it look naked, but it serves as sort of a lighthouse so you know where that freaking hood ends.
This top priority is making sure that the tires are clean
@@TroyandScraps it's all about the hustle here.
Ur valve fix was a hoot. Mortske n Puddin would be grinning!
You're a darn genius brother I mean without having to rip the engine apart
The early 70s Cadillac 472ci engine is a torque monster but not suited for city stop and go traffic. The highway is her home and long distance trips are effortless and very comfortable. Very nice example of a classic caddy. My Dad and my father-in-law both had this exact car, my dad’s was yellow, my father-in- laws was green.
That was a really good episode. I love seeing an old vehicle go from rotting away someplace to finding somebody who really cares about it and puts it back on the road.
Your the man.....not many of us would have tried that....and it worked.....nice work buddy...
Yeah I figured it was worth the try since I was going to be having to pull the head off anyway. Plus I have a spare engine that I got from the same warehouse so God forbid something ends up happening to this anytime in the near future I'm going to take care of it and work it out with the new owner
Chris, you are the man! Fixing that valve was brilliant 👍
Absolutely satisfying how you overcame the issues with the car.
Man, that is the EXACT Cadillac, color and all, that my Great Grandfather drove in his 70's until he went. My brother bought that car from him and drove it for a few years. Great memories
My dad's best friend who was a Vietnam vet had a new 1973 Coupe Deville just like that - same colors. He let my mom drive it with me in tow to a local country store. I loved it, I thought we were millionaires.
Absolutely love this channel. I’ve learned alot and love the way you show history in your clips. Great content in every video. Thanks.
Car sounded like the movie Christine when he pulled that fury car in the garage at Darnells lol !! Great old caddy ! Love your channel !! Keep up the great content .
Love Your shows and Jens also
Awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos. And yeah she puts some really good ones together! Maybe better than mine!
Gawl dang what a great watch this is! Never seen a bent valve get fixed like that before, effing genius and flawless execution. Secondly, I had a 72 Olds Toronado as a kid and this thing looked so much like it. Definitely different (Toro is front drive 455 of course) but very similar body lines and a dashboard so wide it has two ashtrays. Your craftiness is unquestionable. Cheers
I really like how you work on all kinds of stuff. Bikes, boat,truck,heavy machinery, cars etc. the next reason I enjoy your content is your not just fixing things your showing how to fix it and what could be causing it. I’ve learnt a lot from your content so thank you.
That was a brilliant fix on the bent valve; I just wonder how it got bent in the first place. I guess the most likely scenario is the valve was stuck open and got kissed by the piston.
Great video! Thanks for your hard work making, editing and posting these videos. We all really appreciate it!
Chris over in Lumberton, NJ - basically rt. 38 and 206 next the the DMV there's an old home improvement store that looks just like that plumbing supply house. It's called Diamond M Lumber.. as soon as the video started it made me think of that place. It's like a Home Depot but from 1968. It's like walking into a time capsule there, they have EVERYTHING for all the old houses here from the early 1900s, all the old electrical stuff, full sized boards, the old ceiling tiles for drop ceilings, he's got all the stuff from back in the day. He's got newer products too, it is a supply house, but man I love going there for stuff you can get at the big box stores.. he's got EVERYTHING..
I can't wait to watch this one. I had 2 1973 oldmobiles. One was a delta 88 and the other was a 98. The delta was that same color.
I voice others! One of the best channels out there. Gotta love a Jenn and Gus appearance. What a great car! It was sad to see it go but happy it went to a good home. Brilliant on the bent valve! Thanks for letting us tag along!
Chris, this is what I like. Fixing old american cars in a garage and from the radio it's coming nothing but Oldies Goldies. Cheers from Finland
Hey Chris! Just wanted to let you know you have inspired me to get my own project car. Its a 1970 International Harvester Traveall 4x4. came from California to me in PA this Monday and I've been having a blast fixing it up! Never stop making these videos, we love this stuff!
That's so awesome to hear! And what a cool rig you decided to get. Always loved those!
Good luck getting it all sorted out
3 vehicles? Woop, woop!!! That can only mean more content on its way to us soon 🥳🎉
No videos are already out this is the last of the 3
Fabulous car and video your content and videography are great and make an hour fly by in no time. We appreciate you man, thanks.
That building was Bristol Ford at one time also. My uncle was a salesman there back on the 60's!!
This has to be one of your best videos.
Bro, thank you for real! I have been going through my expansive notifications for new videos and I can't find anything that's worth my time. This is DEFINITELY exciting for me!
Thanks for tuning in and glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
That valve fix was inspired, great job
Hello Chris and Jen , awesome video! The Caddy looked and sounded awesome when you got done with it Chris. I liked how you was able to straighten that Valve! I am glad that you was able to do a quick turn around on the car and really happy to that it went to somebody that knew the previous owner and will take good care of it. I love the old store , soon most everything like that will be gone. Thanks for taking us along Chris and thumbs UP! 👍
