Randy with a hood and grille replacement you stole it for $2500. You don’t find these so clean anymore!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks man!

[@brandonmorris2513]

I thought the same thing. She's a beauty!!

[@butchsutton3006]

Do you want to sell that cadillac

[@DanEBoyd]

I think I'd just use the existing grill - it should straighten out once it's unbolted from the hood. Maybe a little Super Glue and argent paint if anything... I don't think $2500 is very far out of line - maybe looking at it as a wholesaler it is, but I think you can probably sell that baby for $3000 or better pretty easily. I'd definitely replace that top rad hose now though. That could end up biting you on a long trip...

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

@@butchsutton3006 it’ll probably go to copart soon, keep your eyes open

[@neilforrest2677]

Being an old timer at 70 years old, I really enjoy seeing you save the Seville. It is indeed a beautiful car for its era and even today. As Randy would say, I would drive the hell out of it. It reminds me of the tapped out 1977 Chrysler Cordova that I owned that was white on white. It had an upgraded leather padded half lanbow top.

[@steveshirley6314]

You guys make me laugh man

Cadillacs of the 80's and 90's had self diagnostic capabilities. Depress the Off and red Warmer buttons on the air conditioning control head and the current codes will display in the message center. You can also clear the codes by using the control head.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Yep Randy in the 220s is when the fans kick on! So in love with this baby Seville 😍

[@VikingGuru]

We usually don’t get snow here until after the new year but you and Mike brought this weather here

[@rustyramblings5807]

GM didn’t switch to DexCool until 95 and 96.Nice Cadillac.I guess I am relatively a newbie to your channel.I like your Uncles house.Looks very cozy.And looks like it has good bones.I can totally understand why you would feel so comfy there.Keep up the great adventures.

[@jacquesmontague2477]

I recognize the area, my grandfather was born in 1941 and they lived on 13th. Many trips from Champaign, IL and we had to ALWAYS stop at 12 points... Terre Haute is an old, but fantastic "city" I always enjoyed visiting family over there.

[@brandonmorris2513]

Randy, those cars came with green coolant. The DexCool came out a few years later. There's a diagram on the D/S shock/strut tower.

[@yuckabuster]

$2500.00 ? That's a great deal ! Worth more than that by twice, easily. Sweet car, nice shape.

[@jeremyTallen1]

I highly recommend a 160 thermostat if you put one in. If you put a waterpump in make sure you tourqe the bolts to spec not over they will snap off in the block.

[@traceycarter963]

Really enjoyed the video randy yet again another good 👍 👏

[@burnnotice5086]

At 31:00 The Jeep noise is input shaft and counter shaft bearings accessable by removing left front tire removal of transmission metal plate 13mm 8 scews. The 2 bearings are right there. You will need a bearing puller. And snap ring pliers.

[@Erichhh]

We had the exact same problem with our 1990 Eldorado (with the exact same engine) - the thermostat stuck open, giving no heat in winter. A neat tip: If you hold the OFF and WARM buttons simultaneously, the driver information display goes into diagnostic mode, allowing you to see all kinds of neat information.

[@lirr408]

The alarms and train whistles, I thought I was watching a 100% Jake video. Great looking car. Not many left. They followed the bustle back ones from 1980 to 1985. Good luck with it. Merry Christmas to you . Thank you for the videos. I enjoy all of them.

[@wes11bravo]

Hey Randy - all the best to you and Mike and your families. Thanks for all the hard work. My grandfather had this generation Cadillac (which he loved) as his last car before he passed so it always makes me think of him.

[@NoahClay6]

Finally Cadillac video part 1! That Seville is one of my favorite body styles honestly and where I'm from that is at least a $5500 in that shape but if you fix that hood it would be $6500. There are not many of those left and that interior is pretty sweet. Love the content as always Randy.👍👌

[@larrygibbens1028]

Home is where your heart is! Smart move bringing the jeep home on the trailer . Ready for the ride in the caddy.

[@brianleclerc1593]

I worked for a GM dealer back in the early 90’s. This generation Seville was a slow seller. Shared platform with Parc-Avenue, Olds 98. Clean car though. Older folks bought these.

[@jeremyTallen1]

I have moved into many rental houses like that and fixed them up little bit by bit and made them into perfectly livable and comfortable houses. I have young kids and living in a brand new house is almost to much stress. To be honest I would rather live in a house with let's say "character" than something brand new.

[@EFFEZE]

The house I grew up in was built in 1701. That had a bit of character, lol

[@ccross1210]

Same here. A house in Altoona Pennsylvania. 1806 5th avenue. I'll be posting the rest of the videos of that disaster I tried to make a home.. with and from nothing.. but you know what?

[@jamesmcdonald3113]

Hey Randy, I enjoy your videos the most while you guys are in Indiana. It's very touching how you take so much pride in that house. I was the same way with my Grandma's house in Detroit Michigan. What looks like an old run down house to others, means the world to people like us that hold onto the sentimental values that nobody else could ever understand. Keep doing what your doing and love that old house because it's a part of who you are. You seem very happy when your there in Indiana.

[@terabyte1695]

That comment about the house was funny, i know it was your uncles so i thought it nice of you to bring it up, the house was loved and lived in..Merry Christmas you 2

[@dave4803]

I wouldn't say rundown, I would say it has character. I wish we had been able to keep my grandparents house in the family, lot of memories.

[@Raiders_Nation84]

That is one nice caddy and the color is beautiful

[@damonwade9476]

Shout out to you Randy and Mike appreciate you 💯💯

[@1cadillacman]

I'm from the UK and I had one the exact same colour with the phaeton burgandy roof also. Mine was a 4.9L and I had it from 2003-2014 and it was a lovely car. My interior was all burgandy, the same colour as the dash in this one. I was told by a cadillac expert to make sure the temperature NEVER went above 224 as it would destroy the engine, so I always watched the temperature. It was my favourite car and I wish I still had it. The reaction it got from people was mixed-they either loved it or hated it.

[@lawrencehardin6827]

Randy always keeps me laughing and in good spirits

[@jeremyTallen1]

The caddy is my dream car. This is by far my favorite car on the channel!!!!

[@roberthurley335]

It reminds me of the old celebrity cl two door in a similar manor 😂

[@jeremyTallen1]

Worth every penny in my opinion

[@marthasmadman]

That Cadillac looks like something a football coach would drive and as for the house I see lots of potential for your uncle’s home when you get done fixing it up it’ll be a really nice place to be

[@dcformee123]

You guys be careful on your way home with that Seville because Michelin hasn't made white walls in many years so those tires have to be at least 15 years old I'm guessing?

My grandmother bought an almost identical Seville brand new in 91. White with tan interior. Many childhood memories in that car! She loved it and drove it for 10 years until she traded it for a new 2001 Seville STS.

[@wes11bravo]

Hey Carter - yep, The Greatest Generation loved these. I think they were probably easier to drive than the full sized Cadillacs but still had all the luxury and performance characteristics.

[@mexicanspec]

From what we know now, that was a bad trade.

[@randomhero111391]

@@mexicanspec Yeah I think she got about 50,000 miles out of the Northstar V8 before a major engine failure...which then put her in a 2007 CTS 3.6 that had a engine failure at 70,000 miles....🙄

[@mexicanspec]

@@randomhero111391 I never understood why Cadillac used their clients as guinea pigs on the engine designs. Cadillac knew the 4.1L engine was bad which was proven by the fact that they never used that engine in the commercial chassis'. When the car had to drive for a long time they used a different engine. My father bought a 1995 Cadillac STS and he never had a problem with it. Maybe he got lucky.

[@trr5291]

My friends grandmother had a 1993 Sedan Deville. It was a gorgeous car. I was used to riding in a beat up 1979 custom cruiser wagon.

[@SuperSlimShady24]

Great content as always!!!! A couple of takeaways, suggestions. First you have diagnostic capability with the climate control. Off and high simultaneously. Probably have to google the flow charts. Have always used Vaseline on o rings for thermostats. The CJ is cool AF! It has that Jeep “death wobble”. Short wheel base, big tires, poor steering dampening and alignment concerns. Your Uncle’s house has character! Live in one similar myself that was my Grand parents. There’s just an aurora, tranquility in these places we visited growing up. Merry Christmas and safe travels.

[@carlosb.5362]

I love the car and the house. I used to live in a similar house and it was very warm and cozy. Best house I have lived in. In my opinion, old houses like that have great character.

[@shawnepiscopo5613]

Im in love with that caddy wish i had the money to buy it

[@patricknicolucci5073]

randy these caddy's have a built in code reader check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in the computer, turn the ignition on, then hold down the OFF and WARMER (for digital dash) or OFF and passenger-WARMER buttons (for analog dash) or OFF and "Info ^" buttons (if you have temperature dials) until all of the dash lights come on. The digital display will then show any codes stored. Be prepared to write them down. When it's done, you will probably see "PCM?" At that point, press the OFF button 3 or 4 times until the dash goes back to normal, or just turn off the ignition.
