1976 Cadillac Eldorado Sitting for 23 years. Will It Run?

Chris thanks for a vid jam-PACKED with NNKH goodness! This was a masterclass in compelling content: 1. Primary content a SWEET old Caddy. (part 1 Bonus: Gorgeous drone footage) 2. Substantive follow-up content on the 67 Stang. 3. Jenn!! 4. Autumn!! 5. Closeout/Follow up on the Dumpster Delight 750 and our story arc protagonist's delightfully daft plan to use the bike to 'hook girls' who I am certain will not be able to resist the bike's (and our hero's) appeal. 6. Gusman and Turbo!!!! and 7. Seasonally-appropriate bonus community support footage of caroling! Wholesome and shows how you are involved with your community. Does REAL content get any better than this?? NO!!!

[@VorlonFrog]

Dude. That 30K 500 is practically immaculate. That the convertible top cranked down was amazing. You picked an absolute WINNER with this vehicle. Some cleanup, some detailing, tires, brake master cylinder, complete fluid change, and you're GOLDEN.

[@geemee3364]

I agree. Unfortunately, he sees dollar signs. A rag top? In that condition? Unbelievable.

[@billb7876]

Same goes for local farms and food purchases

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

My older brother bought one of these from an estate sale way back in the 80s. They are quite the luxury land yacht. I got to drive it a few times. My impressions were nautical... You needed a harbor pilot's license to drive it and it drank gas like a sailor drinks rum. In the video, you can actually watch the fuel drop in the bottle lol. Pretty good buy at your price. It's intact enough to be a good candidate for restoration.

[@Bonski11]

Go get the tractor running too. That'd be a good watch too.😂

[@born2soon]

"Old oil never goes bad"! That was my grandfather's belief back in the 60's when he changed the oil in his Ford 8N. He never changed the oil in his car, truck, or tractor, only the filters. He'd add refined oil as needed. I don't think you can get that anymore, can you? Great video! My wife can never remember the name of my videos, she just says, Let's see what Gus is up to, or what is Duff Dog doing? She knows the videos by their dogs!

[@JacobusCoetzee-w3h]

Heard from a farmer said he recycled oil first in the farm truck then the tractor and finally in the windmill as at that point it's nearly 90 weight oil again

What about the dog Theo that Puddin has?

The loose vent window is for the white Continental convertible.

I was thinking that... I believe the truck and vans are not as wide as that one.

Thanks for the update. The Eldo brought back great memories for me. In the late 70's my high school job was washing cars at the local Cadillac dealership. I loved driving those huge Eldorados through snowbanks in the winter! All I needed was speed to gain momentum and nothing was stopping 5,000 lbs of Detroit iron!

That bird attacking the drone was awesome! My grandpa bought a new Eldorado every year and he had a 76 convertible. Super nice car. Nothing rides like an old Caddy. Someone should restore that car as it worthy of the investment. I want to see the Lincoln revival video.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I plan to use them for a storm drainage project. They are plenty strong for that.

[@432b86ed]

To be a daily driver, all that needs is a little TLC... as per usual. The body is straight and it's not all rusted out. Love these Cadi revivals, Chris. They don't make 'em like that anymore. That bird that decided not to grab your drone reminds me of the hawk that flew out of a tree a couple of weeks ago, and snatched my BF109 mid flight.

Wouldn't worry too much about people's comments. You're doing your thing, always have, and most, if not all, of your subscribers know what to expect. It's always a treat to see an upload. Any father knows what you're going through and what to expect video-wise. Parenting done right is harder than any full-time job. Keep up the good work.

[@sheepwolf1st]

I very much prefer to watch and learn a thing or two with Chris and family, they're wholesome and genuine. ( He's not sold himself out to the corporate side, like many others, nor do I believe he will. )

[@Shang1966]

I'm a new subscriber and love Chris/Jennifer's content. Add quick sides of Gus and the newborn, and it's a great show. As I commented on an older video, I could watch Chris change a kids bicycle chain and find it interesting. He has that "knack" of a personality with a ton of knowledge. I love Derek and VGG too, but Chris may have passed him!

When you wondered what the staining is on this seats at begining of the video, that was mice tracks from walking in their own poo lol. Make sure to wear a mask and detail those barn finds. I don't want you to get sick like Dalton from Pole Barn Garage did when he worked on his International truck. Hanta virus is not fun.

[@Hhllbb2476]

More than just Hanta virus. Lung damage is cumulative and I can attest that when the body gets overloaded you can be down for the count. I never saw it coming. Mask up even if it doesn’t film well. You’ll be saving your health and viewers’ health. No harm in that.

I needed that Chris. What a fabulous barn find, I was imagining Jen, Autumn and you doing a cross country camping tour in it eventually. Looked very clean up-able and a super fun ride, as opposed to a restoration project. Great family vibes !! Love that Gus man and Turbo cat !! Love from down under in NZ.

[@waynedavis7245]

These Cadillac's had one weakness, they really wore front-end parts. The parts were really expensive at the time. You really needed to go with Moog parts or you would be doing it over again. Ask me how I know! Lol. They really loved the freeway. This is one I would put back on the road and would enjoy it! Probably fix it a little at a time. I hope you find someone that will really show it some love. It deserves it .

I bought a 76 coupe DeVille from a friend in Rhode Island around '90. The car had 350k on it and had been up and down the east coast many times. It was propane fired for 250k, and when I drove it on the highway it got 16 mpg and drove like a dream. The floors were gone from firewall to trunk and it was puke green inside, so cops shot me down pretty quick. I think I made one holiday run to Maine with enough presents as I could carry. Dressed warm and had good exhaust. What a nice driver.
