  • This 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was left to rott on a unknown property, then eventually went through what we believe was a estate sale. Since then, it's been sitting in a grass field. It's been off the road since 1989! Do you think I can get it running and driving, and make the 600 miles journey home? WATCH AND FIND OUT!

    • @montymatilda
      @montymatilda Před 2 lety

      @Owen Tighe Each state is different. The title, registration, plates, insurance, headlights, tail lights, brake and turn are all required. I live in Denver, Colorado and they quit the safety inspections when the emission tests became a requirement. Too much cost for the consumer. I see police cars with cracked windshields all the time that would have never made it past a safety inspection. The police can stop and ticket for an outrageously broken windshield as well as bad tires and the like but all 3 of mine have cracked windshields. In the winter, if you travel in the mountains you must have appropriate tires and big rigs must have chains on board. We get tickets for expired plates on our own property, if in site, and it costs much more to register the vehicle the longer you wait after it is expired.
      Some states are much, much, much less restrictive.

Already got the fabric ripped out just need to figure out how to get the padding thing back into place. Stole my tires off my 91 deville and replacing the carburetor and then I can at least be comfortable to drive it around. Drove it probably 40 miles home just a few weeks ago when I bought it.

    My Dad had this very car - a 1969 Sedan de Ville, dark green exterior (painted, not vinyl roof), with the same colour inside. I smiled when I saw the brocade upholstery with the leather trim in the video - same as my Dad's Caddy!! The dash, steering wheel, controls, all as I remember. Brought back memories. GREAT car. It had one of the biggest engines, even for the time - 472 cubic inches or 7.7 litres. 375 horses, endless torque. Last model year before pollution gear was installed on US cars and power output fell off. My Dad had his for 5 years before selling it to a friend. We had this car in Edmonton, Alberta, through cold, cold winters and hot, buggy summers. Excellent heat, A/C like a meat locker when we drove it through the summer heat waves in southern British Columbia. Lots of highway driving around western Canada. Great long distance car. My favorite of all the cars my Dad owned.

    I like your style! Your are so good at pretending to be clueless when you know exactly what you are doing. Saving old treasures from the scrap heap is awesome, but teaching your "little humans" why this is so important is PRICELESS!

      Yep! Comes off like numbers are confusing, when he’s fully aware of ALL the math and geometry for that engine.

    This video is two years old, and yet it ages very well. I'm working m,y way through your videos. I must have done something with my google because all my subscriptions were canx and I had to find channels again. I don't know... I get help with my computer and the next thing I know they have me on a different subscription. I think I have half a dozen user names now. Hey, I guess it helps with subscriber base if I have all of them on your channel.
    Again! Thanks for the content, I really enjoy it!
