[@goldenrustorbust]

[@richarddeschamps5425]

John, you shoulda kept on the 70's pimp outfit!!! Loved it.. Great job, keep it up.

[@goldenrustorbust]

@@richarddeschamps5425 hahaha thanks man raided grandpa’s closet 🤣

[@richarddeschamps5425]

@goldenrustorbust shit, john. Thats what i was wearing in the early 70's and platform shoe's. But hell, I was only 7!!!!

[@Heavygravy447]

Your the only KZbinr who replaced the bumper filler panels on one of those good job sir that caddie could be your power tour car definitely keep it very unique

[@big2868]

I had a "77 Eldorado" I bought it from my aunt in 1981 for $500. It was Teal Blue with a silver landau top with black leather and Teal color keyed hub caps. It was pushing 85k mi. at the time. The car was powered by or should I say underpowered with a 425. Basically, it couldn't get out of its own way! The body was rust free and the filler panels were in good shape. Thinking about the rear filler panels, they all came with plastic chrome that started at the bottom of the horizontal portion of the bumper up around and over and ended at the gas plate door. The car had a hell of a goodie package including AM/FM/CB radio, factory alarm, auto locking doors when you put it in gear. Mechanically, I replaced both CV/half shafts and the soft close trunk motor. This would be the first of five Cadillacs for me. What an incredible road car!

The “epiphany” of a land yacht? The spirit of Norm Crosby lives on.

You're living the boat life now, baby!!! We have a 73 Pontiac Bonneville with a 455. She's a big beautiful girl with 80,000 original miles! Congrats on your new youngling. Take of your beautiful wife! Love you guys!

[@user-bu8bc6kg4f]

Love these FWD Cadillacs . My grandfather had a 72 white on white black vinyl top. I can remember 4 adults 3 children riding comfortably id sit up front between grandfather and my uncle two ladies two girls in back. No drive line tunnel like riding on living room couch. 7 people comfortably riding down the highway. That baby rode so smooth.

[@SeanStevens24]

THANK YOU for putting new filler panels in. Nothing bothers me more than seeing these old yachts with lake-sized gaps between the body and bumper. As for the passenger side not fitting right in the front, having that corner meet a tree at around 5 MPH would probably solve all of your problems

They definitely do "adjust"!😅

Awesome find dude, very nice land yacht! Thanks for sharing your adventures with this classic!

My 58 year old ass is late, but we have an upload from "RoboMulletCop". Love this kid, I really enjoy his uploads. Longer uploads are nice.

Was waiting for a good car video to post. Thanks John! Also, always loved the old Cadillacs.

Awesome work! Always funny seeing this dude on junkyard digs.

[@williamyoast216]

This episode was one of your finest. The editing has come a long way. That car is b-e-a-u-tiful. My inner electrician has to make this comment. A switch is on or off but a sensor can give a range of units

[@goldenrustorbust]

Hey thank you for the information 😁

[@kerrypierre9494]

Hell Yeah John, love these 70's land yachts. 👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@fpsharing]

What a great car. Love the host hair cut too. Looks so 90's Beavis and Butt-Head. Very retro and cool.

[@maryfuhs8253]

Awesome. So fun to watch , after seeing all the work you did! Good to feel part of your journey.

[@MikeSmith-bb5ii]

Good score. Be happy its not the 4-6-8 nightmare. Tint it out on airbags, and you'll be pimpin in style.

[@apocalypseman9824]

That is a beautiful car.

[@bradleydunigan6861]

Great job on the video definitely like the road trips

[@user-gd9cg6sg8d]

Usually when I watch videos of cool cars, that's where it ends. "That's cool". This is one of the very few times I've been in the terrible position of envy. What a great find.

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@chrisingle5839]

Nice Beast! I've got a 68 Deville. Awesome car, I get offers to buy it every day!

[@alynwilson5694]

I wanted to comment after seeing you install the temp gage. If you ever install an oil gage in that car or any car in the future, do not, I repeat do not use the plastic line that comes with most gouges. Those lines melt and or break in the future and start pouring oil fast and with lock up engine before you have a chance to save it. Instead buy the same size metal line and never worry about it again..

[@goldenrustorbust]

Hey thanks for all the advice 👍😁

[@miked1747]

Commercials every 4:00 of content... greeeeeedy!

[@goldenrustorbust]

I let KZbin control the midroles I’m sorry it came across that way

[@anaphylastiks]

Congratulations bro.. You must be stoked as. And im not talking about the car.

[@anthonyblacker8471]

I almost feel like it would be nicer / easier (probably most definitely NOT easier) to just shave back those silly 5mph bumper extension nonsense things the government forced auto makers to put on vehicles back in the 70s.. I think the fillers look nice - way better than a giant gap, but man.. it would look pretty sweet shaved back to to actual body front and back, slim those bumpers down and get it to the car.. SEMA mode engaged! Haha I'm must teasing though, but this is one of those jobs it's nice to have an old timer around because they dealt with all this crap back in the day, maybe they have some tips for lining things up.. either way what a score on that Eldog, beaute of a car!!

[@colinquiggle5074]

Look at the room you have by the firewall! Wow

[@robbieward7026]

Goodness, she's stinkin gorgeous! My dad always had wine taste with a beer budget when it came to cars growing up so we always had some old Caddy or Lincoln in the driveway. I learned how to drive on an 85 Fleetwood 4 door, took my driving test on a Toyota Echo... Nailed it 🤘

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

The fact that you didn't use foam for the bumper fillers, almost killed Dalton, you know that right? 😂 Looks good man, love to see some content from ya.

[@guidostromer8739]

FWD? Well why Not? Nice survivor🎉

[@danieldemers365]

Great job and great car great job john 🎉😊

[@danieldemers365]

You do good work work

[@danielshute1409]

Great work, you may have to join the owners club to get info on good aftermarket filler panels. Love the Coors hat too. Bravo

[@alexbaker9967]

Now you just need to color match and re fit the body fillers and shell be perfect

[@navdeepsingh3508]

Such a Beauty

I have a 72 Eldorado convertible. My baby. Welcome to the club. Stay pimpin.

Great video i had a 2000 eldo fun car

[@MrKurdkiller]

You need to make more videos, man I like watching your videos

[@stillakilla7520]

Pimp daddy caddy!! Get it big boy!!

[@mikemando3238]

I remember getting yelled at by my grandpa for slamming his easy close trunk like that lmao

[@mahatma171]

We all struggle with GM body fillers. Especially Cadillac ones. Don’t feel bad. You never know which ones to buy, which ones fit the best etc. A big ol’ crap shoot. I usually try to find ABS plastic ones over the fiberglass ones. Good purchase BTW. I like it. That grille cap is straight sexy

[@phr3dmcc0y]

Epitome.... (Y) Nice car dude.

[@TheThechrisman]

dont beat yourself up those body fillers look great, once you get them painted to match then you'll be proud of yourself. Good job that car is a one of a kind. love it.

[@americanauto20]

Great find man I’m glad your channel is doing great I’m still going to follow you and everyone else jyd and all but I think after 5 years and no growth I am shutting mine down keep up the great work and thanks for all your hard work

[@goldenrustorbust]

I’m sad to hear that man 😔 I hope everything goes well for you

[@markhubbard5176]

hi mate im from england and this is my favorite cadillac...i would silicone all the gaps in the fender fillers and paint them the same colour as the car...it would look a lot better...all the best from UK

[@Brimstone667]

lol bleep me, was waitin fer that

[@SHOdown13]

Sweet Ride. Wish you luck, especially trying to find a fuel tank for it. She's a keeper. That's the car you should drive your newborn home in for memories sake.

[@towncoupe]

What a GREAT FIND Those body fills are a pain fore sure Maybe when you get them painted the body man can fit them better. I've had a couple of these over the years and coupe devilles. you have the 425(501) engine in her. It doesn't like to run when its cold-You have to set the Choke-Spring 2 notches to the rich side (towards the firewall) that's what they like You should only need 1 pump cold start I noticed the old guy ( orig owner) has the headlights all out of wack. I adjust mine so it fits the contours of the headlight surrounds. That usually works. She is a great car You will get many miles-years out of her . ENJOY Cheers from Calgary

[@goldenrustorbust]

Thanks for the advice 😁

[@robertvance1873]

Big Caddy Daddy You Did It Good Job those are Great Cars a Friend of mine had one All in white with tan leather interior I hope you take care of any of the issues maybe do another video, hopefully you keep it , love the longer video till next time my friend.

[@conorcuomo4283]

My dad had a 73 convertible he had to take this workbench out garage just fit it in I love the pants and the look
