Did I Ever Mention My First Project Car?

[kansas-ix]

I need those rims for my 79 Fleetwood Brougham yellow/ yellow guts with 60k on the clock in mint condition. Will post pics again of my PIMP ride if needed.

It is sick I tell you the 10mpg the 7.4L V-8 pumps out is badass, there is nothing like a 400cid under a ft hood.

That's pretty damn awesome. One day I want to own an early Impala, white with stock rims but on bags or hydros.

With all the dream cars I may never know,
The one I must get, is a black six-fo

My very first Cadillac was a 77 Coupe Deville de'Elegance.. I had it painted Mnt. Dew Green with a black top.

I miss that bif Caddy 427 V8. You know.. I never did won a Cadillac that didn't leave a puddle of oil wherever you parked it.

I would love to sell you the rims but unfortunately I was stupid enough to lend the car to my old roomate for a few weeks when his car broke down. I told him specifically that my car takes only 93 Octane and to check the oil religiously - change when needed.

Needless to say he never checked the oil, and continued to run 87 Raceway or Pilot shit gas in it. 2 weeks later he locked up the engine on I-40. Dip Stick = Dry.

At the time I was too broke to repair it and so was he. I tore anything of value off the car and from that point on it just rotted in another friend's back yard until the salvage yard came and hauled it away.

Lesson: Never let your friends "borrow" your car no matter how close you are.

I rescued this car from what yours turned into. I traded a 325i for it, then sold it to a german friend, he knew nothing about it, so let it sit in his yard till I begged him to sell it back to me. I redid alot on it, then sold it to get my truck and the 20s on it.
back when i owned it, I honestly prefered to drive it than the M3. It was a blast, germans didnt know what the hell to think seeing that huge boat coming around the corner on 3s

Glad to see the Germans getting in on the lowrider action :D

That's a sweet Olds Cutlass.. what year is that?

Never really got into the hydros much because my Caddy was my actuall DD and I loved the way the stock suspension felt.

Believe it or not the green is the same metallic green they sprayed on the previous gen mustangs.

Actually I only spent $4000 on the car including the stereo system because I fanagled it from a 85 yr old women. It only had 23,000 miles on it because she rarely left her home. I bought the car for $360 plus a computer from her grandson. I found out later than her grandson never gave her the $$ for the car but she had already signed the title over to me and I had already registered the car in my name. She called me couple times and said she wanted the car back and it took me 3 weeks to explain to her that she's not getting the car back because she was no longer the owner of the car.

I felt bad about it but I had alread paid to have the engine rebuilt. The car was beautiful but ended up being a pain in the ass in the end. The HT4100 is truely a piece of shit engine.

for you CID to metric impared above
7.4L = 454cid
7.0l = 427cid
6.6L = 400cid

all the early caddy fuel injection set ups were worthless but were state of the art in the late 70's and early 80's

this guy > all... although, w/ those tight pants, he could be emo. who knows?

Cadillac didn't start using FI until the 4100 series V8's in 1981. Even still they were throttle body fuel injected instead of direct port.

Dude, 1975 was the first american built fuel injection system. Look up the seville introduced in 75 to compeat with MB, BMW and other smaller LUX cars.

I was wondering how long it was going to take till someone noticed him!! he is an old skool rocker, even wears mascara!! OZZY! cool dude though, and has a knowledge about U.S. cars that would blow everyones mind!

1957 was the first fuel injection system put into production!! it was put on the corvette, and on the 1957 chevy V8s.
