You know it's going to be a great video when Monkey Wrench Mike joins Randy.
Randy and Monkey Wrench Mike work so well with each other. Enjoy the antics
Randy and Monkey Wrench Mike together will be the best episodes.
Randy didn't choose the pimp life the pimp life chose him! Good to see Monkey Wrench Mike too
I'm a sucker for a boat. My dad had a 66 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors. He was a machine salesman and machine shop owner. I remember taking my drivers exam in a 73 Lincoln Continental, it's the one I learned to drive in. We took it into empty parking lots and thats where I learned how to park it. He said if I could park it, back it into a spot, I was ready to take my exam. I passed my exam the first time. I own a 2016 Lincoln MKZ, nice car, but nothing like driving the old Lincolns. Brought back some memories on this one Randy!! Thanks!
By the way, I'm all for watching a rebuild on this one, the Caddies have a huge following! I think you can bring this one back Randy...go for it!
Please bring back this car to some kind of perfection. It can be your go to town weekend car.i love this Cadillac
Can't wait to watch you conquer all the Caddy's problems ! What a challenge man !
What's the old saying about Cadillac Eldorado drivers? Oh yeah....."Pimpin' ain't easy" 🤣😅😂👍
I keep my pimp hand strong!
Don’t give up on the car! I absolutely love it!!! I can’t wait to see more videos on it and thank you for picking the car up at copart and trying to drive it. It’s way more entertaining!!
What an AWESOME car! My dad bought a car like this and it was SO much fun to cruise around southern California with the top down. I drove with my friends from Redondo Beach up to Santa Barbara. We had SUCH a great time! I can't wait to see you do a full restoration on this, Randy! Great pick, Monkey Wrench!!!
We had a new 68eldo in family but by 1977. The electrical gremlins were too much
Try to cruise in the eldo down Redondo beach now!!!! Lol...
@@bryanblack7828 😂🤣😂Nice!
You drove you pizza car. But you won’t drive the Cadillac. I don’t understand.
I almost bought one of these that was setting out side of a nursing home for 2500 and still kick myself for passing it up
Love when MWM joins Randy you know the adventure is about to begin.
What a beast of a machine ! I remember the light blue one on terminator & at the end of smokey & the bandit. Burt was driving red convertible. Such a classic 🔥🚘🎬👍. Thanks for another great one guys 🫡
Randy you and Mike crack me up with your humor Keep up the great videos
I do miss these videos where you just buy and drive, you two are awesome
The best videos you make is when Mike is with you, you guys crack me up every time!!
12:11 There's nothing I like more than hearing Randy say, "oh...oh.... wow!" 😂🤣😂
This would be the ultimate restoration piece Randy. I absolutely love this car. I don’t even know how that tire held air. Love the channel and great new intro!
From a distance, the Cadillac looks good, and I like the black exterior and white leather interior. However, the interior is in rough shape, and the exterior could use some work. However, with some work into the car, I'm sure it will look better.
Even though you may not have the money or time, changing the door panels and front seats, getting a pair of taillights, and patch up the exterior scratches, will make this Caddy look slick.
On the bumper vertical fins, are no lights, only a plastic/ vinyl cover the Sun has deteriorated and rotted away.
Love the caddy. Hope she gets restored one day.
What a beautiful classic. No dings. Just some light scratches. So a clearcoat and some interiorwork some engine tune up.
Randy, you and Mike are epic as a team. I love seeing you guys collaborate. It's always a joy to watch both of yalls channels. Much love and appreciation, brother.
I’ve owned 6 of these and they’ve all been pulled out of a garage after years of sitting in some form or fashion. I’ve lived this experience and feel your pain lol. Can’t wait for the next video!
Reminds me of the movie license to drive both Corey's Feldman and Haim. At the very end the grandpa walks in says where's my caddy? Great '80s movie
Les did it!
There hasn’t been a video that I haven’t enjoyed watching from your channel Randy. This one in particular was very entertaining and enjoyable, especially with Monkey Wrench Mike. That old boat hasn’t been on the road for who knows how long, it just needs some TLC, something that it hasn’t experienced in a long time. This car is worth fighting for and I’m glad to see you aren’t throwing in the towel on it, this car really deserves a second chance.
Perfect for the Power ! Tour Just need some Bull Horns and a couple of ten gallon hats
Best car you have ever had on the channel, f’n classic!
It is easy to work on.
Had a few GM 70s convertibles, I knew the top would work. They are nearly indestructible
Man I love those old cadillacs! She's a hoopty boat but it makes for great content! Great purchase!
Took my drivers test in my dads 77 brougham, passed it successfully I might add. And I only stand at 5’3 😆
This is pure content gold... Don't dump it... rebuild it
Agreed!
A classic line from “Fletch”, “You got to PLAN your stops.” 😁
Fletch Lives actually.
That new intro is 🔥. Definitely leveling up 💪🏻
Hello Randy, that is the car that deserves you to spend money on it
9:04 you are going to have so much fun fixing this car!!!!
I do not know where you met Mike but I am very glad that you did. I love it when the two of you make a video.
Beautiful car. Much better than that Spark. The caddy is worthy
Love the new intro Randy! Thank you for making these videos everyday.😁 Hopefully you can get the Cadillac in better shape. If not, well at least you tried.
Randy you and Mike are two cool guys that will do anything for each other and it seems like everytime you'll get a caddy it has a bunch of problems wow I think this was a good funny video can't wait for the next one love you guys this made my week thanks
Best part was Dakota boy jumping the curb instead of doing a turn around lol. Shortcut.....
Now THIS is a car I really want to see done Randy. One of the most beautiful cars in my opinion. Can't wait for more videos with the Cadillac.
Best team up ever randy and Mike love you both guys
Speedometer cable should fix that mph. It needs some attention but all in all nice ride.
Well, you can't expect to start your Pimpin' career with a new ride... Seriously, this was a nice car when it was new.
I can imagine what it looked like sitting on the showroom floor.
My brother bought one of those from an estate sale many years ago. It was metallic pea green with a white top. He drove the car to Juarez and had the interior redone with red leather. We nicknamed the car "The Watermelon". The ride was cushy, the torque abundant, and the fuel consumption comparable to a small ship.
I grew up in a 76 eldo coupe. Loved that car. I do remember my dad working on it… a lot!
Bring that ole girl around fully... It deserves the love
Another road trip with mike , this will be a blast to watch !
a few weeks ago, i came across a beautiful all original 1972 ltd coupe, non- vinyl hardtop, police package. los Angeles car, (im in illinois) blue color, drives like new and original ac even works, only paid 3750, no rust at all and the paint is in great condition. a true survivor
Let it go viral, ❤you two together. Best video format
Randy, I LOVE the old Cadillac's I used to own a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, and loved it! it was underpowered, but it was such a cushy and relaxing car to drive. a part of me wishes I had never sold that car.
should you chose to, I would love to see you restore this Caddy you got!
In 1976 my parents bought a brand new Eldorado. White with a 2 tone blue and white interior. Absolutely gorgeous car, the leather was baby butt smooth, and smelled so nice. It drove beautifully, was quicker than you would think. We had it 6 years it was very reliable, and so comfortable to drive and travel in. We drove it form Southern California to Wilmington North Carolina 3 times and never an issue. Its to bad you never knew these cars when NEW. Dont jump to conclusions that things are this or that, you're not familiar with the car and are making some mistakes. You dont press on the CENTER of the steering wheel to blow the horn, you press on the rubber area to blow it. Radio may work, but wont with antenna down. You guys are definitely doing DOUG DEMURO negative saracsm to the max. Good luck with it.
Randy,, Mike great video really enjoyed watching you guys
That will be a FUN project car. Do not give up on it. The rewards will be well worth it. Complete restoration project. You will love it when you are done!!!!
Man Randy like you said what a hoopie! But it’s so big maybe you should just run it back though the auction. Always a great video when Mike is with you.
For the business you throw copart you should buy the place
As a 6'6 individual, I appreciate that Era. They made convertibles I can fit in
Love the Caddy and great adventure. Thanks for taking us along!
Love this video and the Cadillac. I think the car has huge potential. The 1976 was the last convertible Cadillac and they are actually worth a good amount of money in good shape.
White Wall Tires are a MUST for these Cadillac Eldorados. Awesome Video, Randy and Mike.
This is an awesome example of an great around the block classic car! Love this video, put me down memorie lane when I helped my nephew get his 1st new to him beater car! Sometimes you have to just give it some elbow grease and some tlc to get them going. To get it home safly-ish 😂🤣
That intro 👌
The turn signal and high light indicators on the fenders are fiber optics from the light itself. Kind of cool tech for the day. I had a ‘73 with over 200k miles that looked like it had maybe 10k on it. You used to be able to find those “rubber” bumper spacers for them in the classified section in Hemmings. There are a lot of NOS parts for them.
Randy when are we going to get to see the story with the viper? I love what your doing your last couple videos have been amazing but I am impatient to meet the viper lol I’m so excited you would think I bought it 😂
We need more videos from u like this. Sorry the Monte ss isn't getting good views I really like that car. Also glad ur health is getting better.
First>..lotsa luck needs carb rebuild. Gas tank pump. They ain't cheeeeeep
Big Mikey & Randy in the house !!!⭐️⭐️🪽
I kept a 78' Thunderbird going long after it made good sense. I loved it. My risk versus fun meter has unfortunately been recalibrated.
Good luck with the Explorer, great luck so far with the Volvo. This thing not so much. Well anyhow, great content it was an entertaining watch.
I'm delighted 😊you and Monkey Wrench Mike fixed the wheel noises 🔊, 40:45
Randy, get a new flasher resistor/relay. With a good battery the old one might even unstick (it's a cheap part, or used to be) itself however I think the headlights not shutting off could be the twilight sentinel. (I enjoyed a '75 Fleetwood in 1984 and this puppy is an Eldo!). Body and frame looks fantastic and this would make great with the proper vinyl wrap!
those forklift operators realy should have to pay when they damage something every car you buy has forklift damage with all the fees they charge I'd be in their face
Beautiful EL Dog,U Rock Dandy Randy…
Love tha older, Old Skool rides Randy.need more material like this !!! ☝🏽
Our family owned a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado. That was a beautiful car my Mom fell in love with the moment she saw it. I used to drive it when I picked up family members from time to time. This brings me back a lot of years and memories for me! That was a sweet ride. But the mileage was an entirely different subject. Another issue was parking this car. It could be a challenge. LOL
Trying to drive it back to Byars is a bigger gamble than going across the street to Riverside Casino 😆Sure, you could have pulled the 4-way flasher out of the fuse block and could have taken OK-66 instead of the Turner Turnpike, but smarter heads prevailed.
Look how easy it is to work on!! That thing is awesome NICE
Good luck Randy driving the Cadi home 🙏🙏. Nice classic old school ride
Hey Randy, that's one of my all-time favorite cars there. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Finished the video and man that was sure an interesting one. Always love when things get interesting with cars like this 😆. Hope you get it sorted and running in the next video I can't wait to see more of this thing. Loving the new videos Randy!👍
I work for Copart, we can't let anyone work on vehicles while on our property unless they are insured.
Randy: "The brakes feel good! " Mike "Well half of them work" 😂😂
Those were so cool back in the day! My orthodontist had a white one with red interior back in 78 or so. It made me kinda want to be an orthodontist to own something like that! 😂
MW Mike makes me laugh every time (love the flailing arms). You two are the new Internet Abbott and Costello, waiting for a CoPart "Who's on First ..." bit soon. Randy just needed a Dan Blocker cowboy hat and Stater Sunglasses and it would have made this really good video great.
I sure miss these drive home vids
Awesome car and awesome guys! Love seeing you both together in a video with an old car :) I use to have a Citroën 2cv6 as a daily for years, driving was always an adventure:) my now wife hated it :) now i drive a Toyota and always get everywhere (boring but handy with kids)
My best friend’s mother had a Light Blue ‘76 El Dorado. That battle tank was one of the smoothest, quietest car I have ever been in! I remember she was having something checked and the mechanic told her to turn the car on and she said it was on and he didn’t believe her until she reved the engine!!
Restore it and sent it to Mecum!
Actually Boss Hogg (Sorell Booke) had a Deville convertible, it was a 1969 or 1970, his brother on the show had the same car in black. The unique horn came from Bo and Luke's General Lee which is now extremely rare 1969 Dodge Charger because they smashed about 500 of them during the series!
you gotta enjoy this land yacht- nothing like cruising in a caddy convertible! my kind of time travel!
Randy with an upgrade I love the auto auction rebuilds intro love the car also that is a beautiful car make sure you hold on to this one now don't get rid of her try to at least keep one or two of them
Thanks Randy it is been a while since you did a crazy road trip in a new purchased car 😅
You should put a new Hellcat Drive Train in there. Cool custom car!!!
Love the description of the brakes, they kind of work.
Love the content, you both are my favorite RUclipsrs 😁
Great video / Love the Eldo 👍. Considering last inspection sticker was 1988 ?? I’d say what 36 years since it was legally driven ?? You made out ok, I hope you fix that baby up.
Them gadamn brakes was like if they die they die😅, I'm glad ya made it safe, because those brakes was having a whole conversation plotting on ya
I bought one that had been sitting for 40 years, done the maintenance and she's a beauty. Didn't get it for $4300 though.
Me and my prom dates all time fav car possibly. I love that big car and big inside ❤
One of my favorite cars.
Randy that's a georgeus land yatch.
This is probably THE sexiest car on the channel ever ! With a bit of work the white on black is fire
I can't stop thinking that the crew of the Ship DALI that hit the bridge is so similar to that Caddy.
Those fiberglass replacement bumper fillers used to be quite expensive, at least someone got that out of the way.
