The 500 ci (8.2 L) was designed to be bored and stroked to 600 (9.8 L). Because of the so called "gas shortage" from the Yom Kippur War, it obviously didn't come to fruition. The engines HAD to be big because the cars were becoming heavier due to safety equipment and emission standards. Designing a larger engine is ALOT cheaper then building a car from the ground up. Plus they were luxury cars, not hot rods. The were over-sized, over-powered and under-suspended and under-braked.
I am with mega t. Rims/sound/steering wheel. Not Cadillac classy. At least the car is cared for and on the road being loved but that whole setup with exhaust and all is almost as bad as a donk
A Cadillac is supposed to be an American luxury car that is seen and not heard...the exhaust system needs to go before somebody burns their leg on it. This is not an example of an American muscle car (despite the size of the engine) & I noticed that the rear fender skirts are missing that complete the beautiful lines of the body of this car. Goofy tires and wheels also do not belong on a vintage Cadillac like this.
I have to be honest. If someone described this car to me I would say "no no no-don't like it" But have to admit after seeing and hearing it I DO like it.
@Gabzaiat It is a Sedan DeVille - the removal of the vinyl roof is what throws a person off here. Imagine the original top and you'll agree it's a DeVille. Imagine the correct wheels and a Cadillac steering wheel as well - and you've got a nice car. That steering wheel HAS to go!!!
@Cartman22100 Respect. Anytime a foreigner (no offence) is in to American vehicles it makes me happy. (especially considering Germans make damn good cars) ;)
@MustafaLund those appear to be Eagle rims. same design as the forged Alcoa wheels but cast and cheaper. I have had Eagles on several trucks. I like them they look like semi truck wheels.
I'm thinking of putting a set on my 82 regency 98 diesel car
@Marksnotebook the only thing custom is the exhaust and the steering wheel and the wheels how does that ruin it maybe the steering wheel but the wheels and exhaust are pretty cool
@randyseck How are you going to tell me i don't know about Cadillacs? I own a 1988 Cadillac Brougham. i know what they are packing. They were meant for luxury not a race car ?
exhaust = kind of a fail
wheels = fail
steering wheel = LOLZOR what the fuck where you thinking
