For a long time been wanting a caddy. Atually since I read the C Van Tune article in motortrend about his cold convertible on sunset blvd.
Pulled the trigger thanks to all your info on this thread.

67 is such a hard yesr to get parts .... ahh old car life
Looks like a row of 40oz cans! Hope it's back on the road soon.
In reply to hobiercr :
Thank you sir! Hoping two more weeks.
In reply to barefootcyborg5000 :
Yes love it... first ever caddy.... feel like a mobster
lived the yakuza life too long ... time to mix it up
Damn I love this!
That is a fine example. Look at the length of those rear quarters, there's about a Tercel's worth of metal in each one.
That is super cool!

Look at those red seat backs.
It looks like your sinking into 8" of cushion.
And people look down at those living in their cars.......

def nicer than my house... also unlike most of my cars that attract 16-19 year old teenage boys - this attracts a certain crowd that i am VERY happy with ;)
Drop top Caddy! Getting 9 mpg never felt so cool!

she currently is one my highest MPG in the DD fleeet. Nothing more fun than pulling into the gas station with my H1 hummer at $7.39/gallon :)
hopefully back to vegas in oct, nov, and dec, in between the USDA agricultural checks at the farm!
That is THE excellent Cadillac--my absolute favorite.

Talkin' out loud(and sayin nuthin) ....iffen parts are such a beatch to get for these 429's .....err what about a 500?
Physically the same size externally?
In reply to 759NRNG :
I think that you're asking about swapping in a 472/500. I know that guys trying to swap in the later engine on earlier cars have run into a lot of problems. I was wondering last night if that would apply to the 67 as it's sister year car is the 68 with a 472. I know the earlier X chassis was a problem so maybe a 67 wouldn't be as bad.
