| Re: 1970 Coupe Deville engine miss? Please Help!! Just wanted to give all the guys who helped me out here a little update on this car. Sold the '70 Coupe DeVille, hopefully to someone who is going to give her the teardown she needs. I have been missing her though, I mean what is a man without a Caddy? So lucky for me this past week I happened upon the BARN FIND of the century!! A 1968 Calais with 53,000 original miles! The car had been sitting in a garage about 10 miles away from me since 1975!!!! Still has the original bias ply tires even and not a speck of rust anywhere!! Even the interior is immaculate. She has one brake line that needs replacing and has a slight lifter tick, but runs like a champ! Anyone have any tips for getting out a lifter tick? I'm guessing it's because the engine wasn't run in so long that one probably lost it's prime. Anyway, I'm beyond happy with her and everything has worked out great so far. Thanks again for all the help. |
