Okay I've kinna always sat back and crusied around Ratsun and only recently became a little more "active" on here. I was raised on old american steel, old toyotas, and Datsun's. Ever since I was little I wanted a 1964 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and now that I'm a little older (but not really wiser) I've been able to pick one up. I've owned it for about 5 months or so.
I've had a few hangups with this car that have kept me from making forwad progress with her. My main was being laid off for over 150 days.
The first few pictures are how she sat when I first saw her. Thats my buddy Larry painting the roof and as you can see the seats arent exactly "mint".
So anywho I needed a fender so after I bit I tracked one down in Springfield OR so a roadtrip was thrown together and Darren, Kenneth, and I headed south. Thanks to D for letting us crash at your place. Now she has a fender on her.
Now I was in desperate need of parts when I got a text from a good friend of mine Muffin. He saw a 64 Coupe Deville for sale out of tacoma and was worried it was mine. It was not, it was however a PERFECT parts car. So with the help of Darren I was able to swoop p this gem. Thanks Darren.
This one has a siezed up 429 engine and literally a TON of useable parts. Just in chrome (i.e. Front bumper, back bumper, head light bezels, and a few other parts) there is about $1200 in parts. The int is not perfect by any means but it is WAY better then mine so I'll be using that.
So I got this fucking tank back to my buddy Erics house and we started working. Swapped over the fron wheels and tires and the carb off the siezed motor to my good motor. Fixed a fuel leak at the fuel filter and fired it up. She's in dire need of a tune up but shes getting there.
Over the next few weeks I will continue to add pictures as I move forward.
Get ready cause this shits about to get hairy like this guys back!!!!
