Resurrecting the 1960 Cadillac

My brother bought a 1960 Cadillac. This is the first time it has ran in 16 years. I know I keep saying 8 in the video but it was actually 16. The old guy he bought it from drove the car up from NM in 94 and started tearing it apart to restore it but never finished and it sat in his barn since then.

@boy3611 probably not until he's done having fun with it

Great stuff, sound good,,,,how does it drive?

[bah53]

@coffeefish Don't know haven't driven it yet. No brakes and no way to turn it off from the inside kinda makes me not want to drive it yet lol.

Nice Caddy! Are you going to restore it, or ratrod it? Besides checking the engine oil level before starting, did you check the transmission fluid? You wouldn't want to damage that old Hydramatic transmission as they're supposed to be a pain the ass to rebuild.

@gthyfah First we will get it road worthy then drive it around the way it is for a while, then my brother is gonna start on the bodywork and interior
