You know it's going to be a great video when Monkey Wrench Mike joins Randy.

[@madelinesweetlowis3333]

Randy and Monkey Wrench Mike work so well with each other. Enjoy the antics

[@cdoggyish]

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!

[@vanmandad]

What's the old saying about Cadillac Eldorado drivers? Oh yeah....."Pimpin' ain't easy" 🤣😅😂👍

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I keep my pimp hand strong!

[@bf6686]

Randy and Monkey Wrench Mike together will be the best episodes.

[@mitchellgildea254]

Randy didn't choose the pimp life the pimp life chose him! Good to see Monkey Wrench Mike too

[@kapekodbob]

Can't wait to watch you conquer all the Caddy's problems ! What a challenge man !

[@davidbenji1]

12:11 There's nothing I like more than hearing Randy say, "oh...oh.... wow!" 😂🤣😂

[@rorysdiycorner3347]

Please bring back this car to some kind of perfection. It can be your go to town weekend car.i love this Cadillac

[@armons.355]

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!!

[@davidbenji1]

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!!!

[@user-ht1xu4gv2u]

We had a new 68eldo in family but by 1977. The electrical gremlins were too much

[@bryanblack7828]

Try to cruise in the eldo down Redondo beach now!!!! Lol...

[@davidbenji1]

@@bryanblack7828 😂🤣😂Nice!

[@user-tx4ts5vk5f]

You drove you pizza car. But you won’t drive the Cadillac. I don’t understand.

[@dextermorgan4337]

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

[@ScareBear75]

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!

[@peterc1904]

Randy you and Mike crack me up with your humor Keep up the great videos

[@LoneWolfSurvival411]

Love the caddy. Hope she gets restored one day.

[@aldairperez5464]

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.

[@theda850two]

On the bumper vertical fins, are no lights, only a plastic/ vinyl cover the Sun has deteriorated and rotted away.

[@just4kicks950]

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 🫡

[@jonscott7686]

The best videos you make is when Mike is with you, you guys crack me up every time!!

[@anastos77]

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!

[@birdhousehippie8471]

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.

[@MZ-hw2gj]

Love when MWM joins Randy you know the adventure is about to begin.

[@keithvallance219]

I do miss these videos where you just buy and drive, you two are awesome

[@angelitoedwards4495]

Took my drivers test in my dads 77 brougham, passed it successfully I might add. And I only stand at 5’3 😆

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

What a beautiful classic. No dings. Just some light scratches. So a clearcoat and some interiorwork some engine tune up.

[@toguro1009]

A classic line from “Fletch”, “You got to PLAN your stops.” 😁

[@toguro1009]

Fletch Lives actually.

[@derekbush1815]

That new intro is 🔥. Definitely leveling up 💪🏻

[@edwinvalladares6540]

9:04 you are going to have so much fun fixing this car!!!!

[@CruzinGeorgina83]

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

[@williamsinger4124]

Les did it!

[@seanmiller598]

Perfect for the Power ! Tour Just need some Bull Horns and a couple of ten gallon hats

[@erickricharson5196]

Beautiful car. Much better than that Spark. The caddy is worthy

[@danielcamacho5930]

Hello Randy, that is the car that deserves you to spend money on it

[@prs44]

This is pure content gold... Don't dump it... rebuild it

[@christopherhamilton5557]

Agreed!

[@francoa.9646]

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

[@thomashickman4082]

Man I love those old cadillacs! She's a hoopty boat but it makes for great content! Great purchase!

[@maddysworldthechannel452]

U need to do more video's with Mike.. !!!!!

[@ricostrong6852]

I second this!!!

[@henryperez5111]

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.

[@user-uk2hq3np5o]

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.

[@normanclarin6668]

I have to agree with Mike on this one bad decision Richard Rawlings bought a 1 owner pristine one for 8000.00

[@1911MikeinOregon]

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.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

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.

[@psychowolfgaming]

Best part was Dakota boy jumping the curb instead of doing a turn around lol. Shortcut.....

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

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.

[@juanjosegutierrezgarcia5814]

That intro 👌

[@bungeycord5971]

Speedometer cable should fix that mph. It needs some attention but all in all nice ride.

[@davidphenix4105]

For the business you throw copart you should buy the place

[@antoniomcdonald6460]

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

[@Ulford]

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.

[@joenewman6939]

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

[@user-ht1xu4gv2u]

First>..lotsa luck needs carb rebuild. Gas tank pump. They ain't cheeeeeep

[@NoahClay6]

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!👍

[@ARAR148]

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

[@ewaldmaas5790]

Let it go viral, ❤you two together. Best video format

[@nayyeriqbal7142]

Best team up ever randy and Mike love you both guys

[@johncornell3665]

Love the Caddy and great adventure. Thanks for taking us along!

[@mazee141]

Randy: "The brakes feel good! " Mike "Well half of them work" 😂😂

[@BigJon22091]

White Wall Tires are a MUST for these Cadillac Eldorados. Awesome Video, Randy and Mike.

[@rayphillips332]

Least it's a run and drive 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@anthonybaker9186]

Randy,, Mike great video really enjoyed watching you guys

[@OwierJacks]

Great video! What a lovely in and outro Randy! 😁

[@bubbachambers]

As a 6'6 individual, I appreciate that Era. They made convertibles I can fit in

[@sgttombailes3380]

That's the Hooptie of all Hoopties.. Nice find~~~ LOL !!!

[@CajunShrek]

Bring that ole girl around fully... It deserves the love

[@georgescarvids]

That intro is Fire!! Ok, I'm slightly disappointed that you and Mike aren't at least wearing Pimp Hats and Packing Canes LOL!!!!! I'm definitely a sucker for a big girl with a drop top and this car is as old as I am to boot!! LOVE IT! I'm getting huge Denis Leary A$$hole vibes from this car (his video has one in it) I now dub her THE PIMPILAC!

[@Tow_Guy_Tv]

Absolutely great video dude 👏 👍

[@countryguyusa273]

Great video, loved the mystery and suspense LOL.

[@2003cobramustang]

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.

[@johnfranklin5277]

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.

[@toddfornari7617]

I grew up in a 76 eldo coupe. Loved that car. I do remember my dad working on it… a lot!

[@jmonte5899]

Hey Randy, that's one of my all-time favorite cars there. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@basinUkraine]

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)

[@BrandonRedman-fj2qo]

Love the content, you both are my favorite KZbinrs 😁

[@user-ke9dz3ex8n]

Really that was an awesome video. I really enjoyed it. You make great videos.😅

[@jamesritter7934]

[@Vandychris24]

[@Cheif.D19]

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 😂🤣

[@jayray8097]

Another road trip with mike , this will be a blast to watch !

[@peterkwok9608]

Good luck Randy driving the Cadi home 🙏🙏. Nice classic old school ride

[@troymendes5719]

The new intro is fire definitely an improvement keep it up :)

[@fuzzydicemotors8240]

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.

[@jenseninterceptors]

[@acesflying2y]

Very good stuff😀drive safe keep safe

[@charlesking1244]

Great Video Randy, That’s A Cool Old ‘76 Cadillac El-Dog, Hope You’re Able To Get It Running & Stopping Better, The Old Dog Deserves Another Breath Or Shot At It, One Of VIceGrip Garage, Derecks “Italian Tune Ups” Should Help, LoL!! Probably Needs A Carb Rebuild, Plugs, New Fluids, Brake Overhaul, Suspension Work, New Duel Exhaust, Interior Work.. She Need Some Lovin’ It’s Worth It Man, Be Safe Good Sir, You And Monkey Wrench Mike Are So Appreciated For Your Hard Work..

[@JGarcia2016]

Randy that's a georgeus land yatch.

[@jamesmarshall7387]

16:04 why mike is blinking since 1 mile ago 🤣

[@camarokurt]

Wow! My second car I bought in 1990 was a 76 Cadillac Eldorado coupe with that 500 V8. It had no problem easily going up Cajon pass at 90 MPG. If I remember right, I got 14 MPG on the highway. Being 'only '15 years old at the time, it was in pretty good shape other than the paint which was garbage. I took a auto body and paint class and painted it white. Sold ir 2 years later and bought an 84 Ramcharger 4x4
