Hoovie, are you eventually selling the Caddy? How much would you want? We are looking for an 86 to 92 Brouham for my Grandfather. He used to have one and wants another!
I got the same Corvette for 1000 dollars
If you get it repainted remove the headlight indicators I've seen many of these with them painted over then you won't be seeing your turn signals lit nor headlights or highbeams anymore. And sorry for the correction L.E.D wasn't a thing in 87 that is fiber optic to show you the illumination of your lights.
Nothing wrong with C4 Corvettes.
Check out auto auction rebuilds he has a a corvette that’s worse than yours
Diablo and Countach STILL AWESOME BUY ever
Круттоо!!! 👌👍
Those wheels on the C4 are backwards and it irks me. lol
I know people will call me crazy but I would rather have the land yacht than the corvette!
The Cadillac would be the perfect car for a tour all across the US .
Haha I still remember that dash board from a video game
The signal lamp indicators on top of the fenders are not LEDs. They're just fiber optic cables that are inserted in the lamp housings. So you know when your lights burn out because then the indicator doesn't light up, either.
I want that Cadillac.
I kind of like the Caddy's floating taillights.
Please dont paint the cadi Hoovie .
The Corvette is like the coal furnace in A Christmas Story.
The Caddys low horsepower should not be blamed solely on the carburetor, it should be blamed on the governement choking everything down mercilessly with endless EPA safety, mileage and emission restrictions and numerous expensive gadgets and devices that prohibited horsepower forcing manufacturers to turn car systems into NASA science experiments at the expense of basic performance and driving the cost of a car into triple what it was in the 70's. Cadillac and others will never be what it once was because youre not buying a General Motors car anymore - youre buying a mandated (G)overnment (M)otors car thats so costly and expensive to repair because of the rocket science theyve had to employ to make them run on the hair tonic they call gasoline now that many people cant even hope to buy a new car any more. Try leaving one of Hoovies supercars sit for ten years and try to start it, im guessing most of them would not, or if they did they would not be drivable.
The crossfire fuel injection.... the good old splatter disaster.
Late History of Cadillac GM in 1980s: Let's make Cadillacs out of plastic! GM: Cadillac sales are plummeting! GM in 2000s: Let's make Cadillacs hip and modern. GM: Cadillac sales are plummeting! GM in 2010s: Let's make Cadillac all electric! GM: Cadillac sales are plummeting! GM soon: Quick, let's dump all our debt onto Cadillac and bankrupt the brand like we did with Pontiac!
My parents both had Cadillac late 70’s models. This takes me back, plenty of room and comfort for our trips to royals games.
For the Brougham - not LED in the front fenders or rear headliner for the turn signal/headlight indication/stop light - it is fiber optics! Also the sail panels/C pillars use 120VAC powered fluorescent lights. In the trunk you'll find a wire harness with yellow tape wrapped around it cautioning about the higher voltage.
I had a '74 SDV that had the same thing
What cost $25000 in 1984 would cost $62269.74 in 2019. What cost $30000 in 1987 would cost $68322.64 in 2019.
Great pair of GM cars! I can offer something surprising about the technology used: Those lights you see on the front fenders and above the rear window inside are actually not lights. They're lamp monitors, quite common on Cadillacs built in the 70s and 80s. They were pioneered by Chevrolet in the 60s. On your car, a piece of fiber optic cable runs to each lamp assembly, passing light from the high/low beams up front and turn signals/parking lights front and rear. What brings us high speed internet today was tasked back then with protecting the Cadillac owner from a post-19th hole DUI due to poor judgement and a burned out bulb.
Overall, I like the style of the caddie, except fort the shape of the rear widow frames and roof junction on the 4 door sedan. Just looks off and not properly styled and integrated.
Those dealers are probably remembering how GM made Hummer dealers drop ship loads of cash into upgrading their dealer facilities and then abruptly dumping them and leaving them holding giant mortgages for exclusive hummer franchises no help.
Nice Caddie. Great Vette for $1000. I would have bought either of them.
Caddy needs whitewalls or Vouge tires.
The Cady's paint looks salvageable and better then a cheap repaint.
I would take a1987 cadillac over a bentley gt coupe anyday
I love them cadillacs i been driving them my whole life what are your plans with it
0:16 hahaha missed you man
At least the Cadillac has the Oldsmobile 307. You can tell by the oil filler tube on the front of the intake manifold. It’s hard to imagine they put the HT4100 engine in them for several years. It’s almost like they were trying to push loyal customers away on purpose.
When will we know about the Corvette I am surprised people do not comment in your commentary about what they think we'll fix that Corvette
If you want a paint job that will fade and fall off in 6 months go to Maaco Mako is not a decent paint works you may as well buy timeshares with your money as to buy a Maaco paint job they spread heavily with thinner makes it look nice you pay your money and it's six months it's gone the paint job is gone
Set for 10 years and the battery was okay? You had to change the battery?
These cars like the Fleetwood Brougham Etc the old school Lincoln as well as your Cadillac are unappreciated today I don't care about sporty this sporty that when you say sporty you are saying rough ride bad Humanity the people that bring you sporty bring you the same mindset if you had a silver set 12 piece silver set place setting silver picture silver and you were old and you died people who come after you with melted down and get 20 bucks silver for it this is the same mentality Romans 1:28 the old-school mindset is the best quality luxury length a boat now we have to get 30 miles to a gallon 12 speed automatic transmission 3 3 shift rear axle
Coolest machine in this video might be the International 4366 in the background.
Last guy to start that corvette was Steve Sanders...
Nothing up here nice one lol
So, are we just not going to talk about the matte black Lotus Evora in Wizard's shop?
When starting to watch this I was like, please don’t let it be the 84 model with that terrible engine, I wasn’t surprised based on your history haha.
205 hp, bmw did that and more with the 1980's m3 with a 4 cylinder lol
I want the caddy!! I’ve been hunting for a Brougham. Drop a Corvette engine of your choice in that sled.
You look in the Wizards shop and with 10-15 cars in there half of them are always Hoovies. You certainly keep him in the black.
The Caddy's remote turn signal indicators are not LED, they are fiber optic. So they are true light monitors. You are seeing the actual light from the bulb, so when they go out it means the bulbs are gone.
I got an 89 deville 4 door for 100$ ran and drove everything worked had the gold keys and only really had the ripped driver and passenger seat
1000.00 for that 84 LMAO
They aren't "el eeee deeez" they are fiber optics.......
That vette would be a good candidate for an LS swap. The way they should have been in the first place. 205hp vette.....no excuse.....just none.
Any advice for someone trying to restore or take off chrome from rims?
Randy's corvette beats it
Have you seen swamp thing the corvette
That Cadillac must’ve been garaged while it sat. O’Keefe Cadillac is in Westport, CT. The winters up here turned old GM vehicles from the 80’s into rust a year after the warranty expired. That’s a real survivor.
“Only 52k miles” and the 5 and the 2 dont line up. No sir, thats 152k miles
Forehead crash protection on the passenger dash!
15:06 Close your eyes and let your imagination go wild Lol.
Cadillic Cousin CC 33
Hi man hope you are well iv been a subscriber of your channel and i love what you do i really wish i could do what you do in south africa.........ii hope one day i could also have a job that you do
Get rid of the cross fire injection and throw in a LS motor
It's so funny.. I love Hoovie's channel and his silly antics, but people often forget he has pretty good car knowledge. Keep up the great work Hoovie. Also I would never buy a GM product.
Also, front turn indicators aren't LED's...they're fiber optic! #oldschool
IIRC I'm gonna go with fiber optics for the fender turn signal reminders........ not LED.
For correction, the Cadillac lights that Tyler called LED's are not. They are fiber optic.
Lovely, over this side of the pond I remember these from the tv back in the day, corvette is lovely
That white leather with white landau top...beautiful. Paint it some kind of blue. LS swap the C4!
This is a trip down memory lane, I've driven both that years Cadillac (when it was new, my father's) and the model Grand Marquee that Wizard had just sold (it was my work car, new when first driving it). Meanwhile my personal car was a Supra Turbo. Believe it or not, I could appreciate the comfort of those land yachts and they made driving the pock marked streets of NYC alot more tolerable. I miss those old body on frame V8 cars.
You lucked out on that Cadillac it has the good engine the 307 Oldsmobile !! those engines are very hard to kill !! whats really cool is if that engine ever did go you just find a Oldsmobile 350 Rocket like i did a 1970 that has 310 hp !! My 1984 Cadillac moves down the road like it should now :D
It's been sitting here since someone died 🤣
Bro bro bro, that’s not how you put the hood down on a land yacht front. You push in on the hood from the front and slowly push down.
Auto auction rebuilds got one for free out of a swamp
I love that Cadillac
I love the american 80s. That cadillac is amazing. Beautiful interior, the engine looks like it was washed.. unbelievable.
The Exhaust of my 18 year old golf IV with 190.250 km looked the same (at that point it had 185.something on). it fell almost off, and a friend of mine welded the exhaust. And my dad did the piping. Before i finally changed it this year :D
I bought a 82 cadillac Eldorado about 3 years ago and now I'm almost down fuller restoring it and I absolutely love it... I love it way more than my new Infiniti...
I think auto auction rebuild has the worst c4
Funny how the 84 Nissan 300zx had a v6 turbo with 200hp that was just as if not faster than the corvette of this year with v8 honestly makes perfect sense why they don't hold value
Man... those damn plastic quarter panel & fender extensions on early GM cars!! I know they were made to flex as the front/rear bumpers were compressed in a low speed collision, but even if a car was garage kept those pieces rotted or became so brittle they flaked apart if you touched them.
The cross fire design isn't the problem it's the electronics. go through it right and it will be fine. I prefer relocating the temperature sensor.
your best hooptie so far, ill buy that Caddy!!
One Kansan to another....I want that C4.
thats not leds on the lights on the caddy.. Its a fiber optic clear cable running from the bulb in the taillight to the one in the roof.
It wouldn’t be a Hoovie video if he didn’t rant for 5 minutes about luxury car manufacturers trading ride quality for sportiness and tech
Check yoself: my 85 Fleetwood Brougham had a five-digit odometer...it sure had a lot more than 50k on it!
My brother has a black and red version of the c4 Corvette
I believe those are still fiber optic on the turn signal indicators
I would love that Cadillac. Would go nicely with my 99 tahoe. I want that. Would be a pleasant cruiser to drive on weekends.
The Cadillac will buff out.
The last Cadillac worth buying was the 1996 Fleetwood.
People trash the C4, but it was one of the fastest production cars in the world when it came out, and pretty much had the best braking ability in the world as well (pulled a .90 on the skidpad) which contributed to its lap times.
Please take care of that caddy. She’s a gem
Hi, If you are fansy for it, so came I give this Cadillac a very god home in Norway 👍🏻
I love those 80's Caddies! I have a 1980 Deville with the 6.0 liter that's not all ratted out (so many are sadly). For $2000, @ 54k miles that's a fantastic find. I'm jj.
Wizard has a snazzier shop work shirt on today. He must’ve seen how sharp the Car Nina looks in his outfits, and upgraded.
I own a 1992 cadillac brougham and I still love her granted it's been taken care since it's first day bought. Great car and it is indeed a land yach.
I'd say convert the C4 to electric, but it's a waste of electric parts
Goodbye Cadillac, horrible decision to go all electric.
Cadillac dropping the V8 from their most popular model: another self-defeating move from GM
As soon as I saw the dealer sticker on the back of that Cadillac I knew it came from my hometown as immediately recognized the dealer logo. O’keefe Cadillac of Westport CT. Amazing it made it’s way to Kansas! What a treat to see,
Put some vogue tires on that caddy hoovie💓💓💓
the starter on that corvette has more miles on it than the car does lmao
