1971 Cadillac Coupe de Ville - Faded Southern Sweetheart

[@johnkristich3764]

I drove a 71 Cadillac for 11 Years from new. Absolutely the best car I have ever owned...

Beautiful car! Can't wait to see it cleaned up.

[@PigEqualsBakon]

now that is a true southern belle, a bit rough, but she's got the beauty where it counts.

Nice find!! I agree with you, it's just about as 'base' level a Coupe Deville as you could get. I'm betting the driveshaft missing is one of the biggest reasons it exists tho, otherwise it'd have been used up. She'll clean up beautifully, acres n acres of that nice yellow!

[@DraculasCars]

Now that the driveshaft is back in, I'm going to get the fuel tank installed and see about getting her to stay running. They likely pulled the driveshaft to trailer the car down here 30-something years ago and never reinstalled it.

@DraculasCars Here's a quick idea that may help: Try a quick shot of pressurized air into the tank(like from a tire Cheetah), say 40 - 50 psi, to somewhat pop the tank back off the pick up on the sending unit. Might or might not work, but short-term, it's a lot cheaper.

You can leave the key in the ignition but back it out a couple of millimeters to shut the buzzer off.

[@DraculasCars]

Not on these cars; if the door is open, the buzzer sounds.

[@bryanttaylor4300]

Great video and awesome car no doubt. However that key buzzer is twice as loud through the recording then in person.

[@TrailerTrashRacing]

Hey bud, I’ve got another 83 Chrysler imperial like the last one I traded you. Interested?

[@DraculasCars]

Always; for the right price.

[@TomSnyder-gx5ru]

Could you PLEASE take the key out of the ignition before recording next time - distracting as hell!

[@DraculasCars]

The buzzer sounds if the door is open; design flaw.

[@jonathanmorrisey5771]

Key switch is either stuck or shorted. The buzzer absolutely should not sound if the key isn't in the ignition.

[@rickyn1320]

Had to stop watching the video, take the keys out of the ignition!

[@DraculasCars]

The buzzer sounds if the door is open; regardless of keys.

Love these long land yachts.
