ABANDONED Cadillac DeVille will it run after 20 years and DRIVE HOME? - Vice Grip Garage EP70

hey welcome to vice-grip garage and this episode I've got another you know can a guy just get her runnin and drive her home I wanted a luxury vehicle for the weekend bingo and coffee session so I went online and after a couple pictures I scooped me up one down this hill on the valley back there sits a 1970 Cadillac deville and she's a hardtop crew cab flavor of course it hasn't run in 20 years and she's been sunk all the way up to the doors and mud that whole time so I'm sure the frame is more brittle than Bob Barker but that's fine of course it's going to be no easy task getting her out so I did bring the Duramax today to kind of even up the tug-of-war and then to put the banana on the top I've got a thunderstorm scooting in high winds coming out of here with an advisory and whatever a red flag warning is I just I got a lot of great things going on today [Music] [Applause] well the easy way out is the neighbors property but he just hydro see to dip so we got to stay out of that but I'm thinking of forget her running I could shoot this gap at about a hundred and seven and that ought to pull the hill but otherwise we'll just you know hook a chain around her and drag her out of here this bottom does fill with water and it gets really soft so I'm gonna try to beat the rain today if I can I actually bought this last winter but she was just froze solid on the ground it just was not going anywhere this is gonna be fun look at this machine everything you need to know about 1970 is right here oh man she's a beaut that's gonna be the issue is she's just sunk we got rodents she's just sunk in the ground lots of digging over here what is that I don't know this is fresh hello come on out nothing you think a coast-to-coast relationship is long distance look at this thing I mean it's she's got some length on her and you could to step on this hood all night long hey it's in pretty good shape actually that's not bad at all a couple things that changed in the 70 years they went back to these pointy lights and then they had the on the bottom and then they you know I'm backing ups they got longer this top was an option I think it was 163 USD and intent on the windshield I think and then also the front grill look it has 13 bars I don't know I don't want to count that but I think that changed man this thing is just on the ground about this side well they cut some some of these saplings out here that's nice oh she almost got the she almost got in with a body not quite so this one is she's bound up in the muffler and I can't really see that one I mean that's the problem is I just I just can't see nothing under here Oh looks like she might have been you know she had tarp on her maybe but there's just no question what the frame looks like but I took a gamble on her because you know the 70 caddies the frame was boxed in it doesn't mean it doesn't Ross but maybe there's you know a 22 percent chance there's some more metal left we get to tugging on this land yacht she might just you know rip in half we've got weight reduction significantly on both sides that's all the way in the ground maybe save that it's more animal dig egde frame kind of looks decent dish there can't see nothing here either stuff down there we got clays pretty decent that's not rusted all the way through you know a guy could save on this probably it's not so bad all right let's get into the trunk and see what that tells us other than the obvious awesome things about this rig you know Cadillac hardtop and big block cuz I actually got keys I'm gonna start back here in the trunk I like to do that because it'll tell you everything you need to know about a rig and this has been supposedly sitting for 20 years and if we can validate that why is there so much water what is what oh I don't know I've been letting her air cuz I can still taste it it's definitely like an old Fig Newton and wet potting soil and that moisture in this thing is just you know she must have just been air tight it's just water everywhere oh yeah this looks this looks great nice taste blankets we got a mice problem a bunch of mold let's make sure we touch that I don't know get my floor checker in here yeah I mean it's pretty solid what are these some sort of drinking device well those are the bendable tops I'll be dipped I think that might be the factory spare definitely has the factory let's hold our inner that's a Uniroyal you know hang onto that I don't know what that means we got a napa blower motor so we got mice a bad blower motor and a factory spare off to a good start I'm gonna let this just you know it's got to get out of there it's bad let's move up to the power barn and see what we got yeah she's getting humid rains coming no I always get really optimistic when there's not like a head or intake or distributor laying in the trunk we might have some really good news on our hands where's the thing well help me understand that's hefty no no no I want a refund on my optimism level dang it I've seen some mouse damage in my day but this is I mean it's up there it's severe these guys need intervention and some form of treatment every wire in here is just been eaten and I ain't kidding yeah I mean it's it's bad but for 72 big-block that makes up for it caddy also made a 500 same board just a longer stroke honor you know 375 horsepower 525 foot-pounds of torque that little sweetheart pull out and I'm gonna bottle your mind up are you sitting down okay good zero to sixty and eight seconds top speed of a hundred and 31 miles an hour Moses guys pretty good with the skid steer up there you know I think I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see any of this and just kind of get in the cab and go from there that's a good idea all right trip hazard oh she opened right up oh mercy it's like an abscess tooth and grass fertilizer oh that is thicker than Shakira sighs I don't think I could sit in here right now guys it's bad so put up the rear this looks pretty good actually other than all the mold and moss and my stuff but you know that'll clean up gotta like these hard tops for these seats I'm gonna leave that open cool it's hot it just stings the nostrils the seats good pedals look decent that's hardly wet as well yeah look at all these options I don't think that's well that's probably Factory I can't I just can't breathe we're gonna open up the other side - I'm going down Oh younger feller maybe had her let's see gotta have a fresh clothes hanger maybe they were gonna retire / I think she's got the factory mat Center still what's in here oh hello what is though what we got oh it's the light Oh be dipped you know you just hang on lap I think we'll just save on this for later that's fine yes oh she's bolted it and they got serious what I don't know mm that verifies the date no see what we got in the back seat come on now Wow Wow you're just got trees in the way Oh another hair oh we had lots of water sitting back here I'm sure that's you know good on the floor we'll just ignore that another good seat now the smell is just it's really bad back here oh is that a coat don't peep that might be a going to town you in it you just run her through the wash yeah I'm gonna save this well I've had the doors open for 96 days and it's just not it's not fixing it I mean hats off to Cadillac engineering she was just you know sealed tighter than my wallet I've been up on the hill catching some wind like Titanic you know trying to get the smell out of my nose and it's it's just not going anywhere so we're gonna fight forward I think I'm gonna get a wrench on the engine here and see if she spins over cuz if she's locked up that might just shut us down this old girl looks absolutely complete like she was just driven down here and parked for whatever reason lightning where the Cape's been replaced AC pumps locked I mean it looks good we might have a shot here with all the mice a guy surprised that this isn't just full normally this is a big house and that looks really clean actually oh I just remembered that actually I can't do that off the balance here they're pressed on and I don't have a 9/16 bolt on the rig so we'll have to do the old push down on the belt and use the fan track look at that just sitting on the crossmember down there but everything is here this wiring thank goodness they must not like that flavor for some reason lightning charger looks maybe been replaced on - yep so at one point I think she was pretty well taken care of this might not work out he high compression so a slip just slipping on me let's go this way sometimes if you grab both she got big enough knit like that then you can Oh she turned just a hair Lord she's died there we go it's turning but man she is it's tight that's probably just the compression no probably not great listen a little bit of salt you're gonna be just fine well since the engine just barely rolled over I think the guy is gonna do the right thing and just spend the rest of the day you know shoveling this out and we'll throw some air in these tires you know they're fine they'll hold air no probably not and then I'll hook a chain on it you know and get her hooked on over here and just kind of drag or out a little bit and that'll make working on it you know easier by a skosh and I just I hope it airs out I mean I could still just taste it in my back neck all right let's see what happens here no way I think she's coming around she left him it was that about 20 pounds I'll just give it all of it bring her around here into the rad dot I'll lift it higher that thing was way down there well that'd be nice if the other ones held a little bit air give her s'more with that tire up over here now a guy can actually see a little bit under here and I mean she's scaly of course but it don't look that bad and I'm wondering if a guy gets this side up I might not even need to dig up here I just can't believe it well I'll take that back I got no stem edge so I got a dig down in here and find it yeah I have been working on the railroad nope you literally never half oh I got some stemming down here these little guys down here you know they help tear up rigs that's full of mud that's fine here we go beads aren't it sounds like well no it's not well it come back come back around it's moving no way I'll be dipped I don't think I've ever seen this before well she's leaking on us it's not the stem oh good it's just my thingy look how high the water gets in here here we go what are these star you sure are a star sky track sure I believe in you now well we ended up at a level 9 bead leakage but I think if I get this mud out of here of course she might seal up just fine got the hose pulled back here now see if we get this one up these trees are just inconvenient or whatever they are I don't got proper angle edge on this one sad Oh rust just wait for a snake to come out bite my leg off it happens this one's gonna go - has it really brought her off the ground yet but I'm sure the rear springs you know they're sacked out not that maybe we'll probably end up with the muffler delete you know when we drag her out of here and that's okay while the tires were up I went ahead and threw the hooks on her and this side I had wrapped around a critical steering component but I just you know I don't know how delicate frame is and I don't want to bend her up so I did modify it and I got her through the frame rail now and this tire went down when we're ready I'll just shoot her with a little bit more air you know and this sides good it's holding and this front is also hanging in there I think yup she's good and this rear she's got 40 pounds in her but you can't tell she sunk so far and I'm sure that axle is just gonna drag you know but here's what it does so we'll hook a chain up here and see if we can just ease this guy forward gonna have to take her really easy I just I don't want it to just you know rip in half [Music] I don't got much room before the tree row up here so I got a snuggle man we don't want to give her an onion here maybe just a garden fresh radish you know just enough bite [Music] [Music] to put some air in this tire give her another goal she's moving kind of ish no not much great look guys got that tire aired up a little bit better and I scoops the chain around so the tires aren't spinning in the same spot maybe I'll even bring her down before lo see if we can get her out of here [Music] she's out 20 years up on the ground she's got a little room on her now additional good news when I was standing her up there to build just a skosh of boost the brakes let go and the line down there she popped on me of course it's not an easy one to get to someone that goes all the way around the front stuck my vise grips in there and then you can dig this into the end and crank her down but even once it pinched off I've just I've got zero brakes so I definitely ain't trailer in this puppy home so the urgency level she just you know well basically that's my ride home so yeah that's great might be too early to tell but the frame is kind of looking pretty good and I think that's because she was sitting on the oil pan looks like we got a transmission that's great but then the driveshaft and I think the rear end I mean really kept the frame off the ground which is that's great news I think what I'm gonna do is get her up on jack stands and we can kinda take the closer look but I mean it's seems to be intact I got a different set of wheels we can put on this later but that's uh I suppose we should see if we get her running Wow oh yeah this is just trashed now I remember I think what I should probably do is just toss a battery enter and this throws some fire maker down it and if it Elise pops off then we'll go through the rest of it but if it ain't gonna fire then I don't know what is uber come out here probably not great Super Start eight million that ought to do the trick she's got heft honor what this way probably get this one back here seem like well she does just fit in here wow this just is good some sort of digital noise up there on the firewall when I connect the positive on the battery that's a good sign and no fire yet I just got a quit tripping over this get out of here let's see what happens with key Turnage we got door buzzer I wonder our receipt is just not happy nothing on the winter no crank äj-- I think we're gonna have just a wiring nightmare well I think I'm gonna start by just playing these up hope there you go I don't know what that noise is but you know jiggle-jiggle that fixed it what is that sound well that's the buzzer I lost her again see ya we got battery connection issues so I'm gonna clean up those posts see what that does not sure why I brought the stiffest wire brush in the world but that's what happened of course well I only did the negative side and the dying animal sound is back so let's just see if we can do it now and be lazy oh yeah what's bends right over okay save on the battery pull that out what gets a fire maker and dump it down it see if it pops off I think I'll just give her a huff a laughing gas here and see what it tells us that's probably a sort of fire bring the Thunder [Music] nothing got air cleaner off here take a look oh that's that's the problem throttle is just she's stuck not only my devil works out loose I don't think any of the last me gasps Scott darling in there take just a little bit of this you know work it in here over there a little bit over here Oh instantly next oh she ain't coming back to idle though I might have another spring I could throw on there there we go let's try it again feeling optimistic it's supposed to be better check on the oil oh it's bad it's really bad but it's got some in it so we'll run it for now that ought to be a big enough snort bring the Thunder it's telling us nothing so here comes the electrical nightmare oh man this is not gonna be fun not my lightning chucker mm in here and it's handy you just plug her in and if the light bulb goes off you got juice you watch it and I'll crank on her well what did she say well at least it's not starting the rain and I didn't forget my starter trigger and my volt meter but the good news is I got my little fancy test light here and I'm getting juice to the coil we're just gonna pretend that it's a strong call volts so now I could pop the cap off and take a look at the points here capsule pitch rotors not bad well this is good news because I came prepared didn't bring a coil or points but a guy can just stick a screwdriver down here and if you watch closely and listen you know we got spark so I was hoping that the mice wire six thousands would work but you're not gonna so I'll pop a cap and new wires on quick and then see if we can get some fire oh the rain stopped and started about 74 times now so it's just miserably humid as all you know guy could probably make it easy on himself and file these points and check on them over in here but I'm going to do the right thing and just wait until I absolutely have to [Music] wiping hoses our end and I went ahead and double-check the firing order it was right but trip me up for a second because he's not a chubby you know yeah and I think we're gonna feed it some old gas out of the fishing boat maybe she likes to be mistreated and I can also fill the bowl this way we got squirter action give her some more no well dump some down the carb let's see if she fires get out of here bring the Thunder yes oh that's great news ain't gonna lie I was I was a little bit worried about this one oh that's just that's good hey the old tank she's got some life left in her you know I think what we'll do now is get the front end up a little bit so I get my hands on the fuel pump and we'll rig in a real nice NHRA type fuel system see if we get it or run longer and then we could see if she's got you know some rod knocks they're stuck lifters see if the exhaust is restricted and then we're on to like changing oil and non-important stuff breaks I don't know you don't really need them and then we're just you know for cruising at home I've only got about I took four hours before dark so you know the longer I stand here and just chitchat I'm just I'm wasting the time and I'm not gonna get it back and then you know it's gonna be dark and I'm just gonna be all right I just got to get what was it only a jacket it up can i reset enough now to get my jack under there right I don't want to bend this bumper up 17 hours later that simple task is done I mean it was air and then scoop and move this and Jack Stan and Jack and moved to Jack and more air and scooped it more level and slide it under it just didn't end and you got to be careful down here you know these cross members they're thin and you slide off of that and whammo there goes our oil pan but now I got plenty to do the oil filters right down here and then the fuel make it happen or pump she's on this side so I think I could bring that fuel line down over here and get my can off to the side and see how long we can keep this puppy running you land on that straw she digs right in your back anyway I didn't think gonna sit my little outlaw otherwise I would have pulled this line off sooner through this pump up them are really heard oh yeah she's varnished yeah whatever is dribbling out of here smells like bengay and deck stain it's just not good fuel management's critical on his old rig especially these high compression units I got this line plumbed in down here sure you want to got going on so she's up on the pump there and then I got her fastened down she runs across the crossmember right there and then you know she comes out behind the wheel here and that's all expertly done up through there and then she swoops around comes up into my boat tank here that's from last summer it should be fine and then it's got this direct injection on it you just you know give her a few pumps and I can hear it fighting into the fuel pump there hey the driver's side wind was rolling down give her a snort of this come on now well she must be a drinker let's give her some more where that oil is hotter than the devil here we go come on baby fuels the shooting out of the vent tube there I'd have to pull that pull that out of there try again [Applause] come on now I can't see nothing oh it's still it's tough flyer don't want it down the car Zod's is coming out the back she's a runner a little picky but she might come out of her I gotta clean the stuff off for it lights of fire but you know I'll do the right thing and wait we got noise coming out back here that's a good thing sometimes you get rats nests and the mufflers all neckline on fire she's alive all right I think that's long enough I'm gonna drop the oil now you know a guy wants to run these old units tell the mouse nests are smoking and smoldering just like this and that's when you know she's hot enough all that old oil the sledge is all worked down on the pan and you could change on her and put some fresh stuff in guess I should probably check the coolant yeah about an 8 million degree embankment but that should help get all the old stuff back here you know but hey look frame you know close one eye and squint I think she's looking pretty good oh and I even got a brake line up here but I'm not gonna get ahead of myself okay Oh see if my taste test was correct well how long is this there we go yeah there's no viscosity at all as soon as that's done and we'll get up here and drop this filter that's you know she's old for sure not even any writing on it I think the Mopar unit shoot off the front up here too don't they I don't know no brand on this goodness it's getting windy anyway no brand on this filter and nothing negative coming out of her so I think we're good there I just popped in Alec's and we'll fill her back up with some oil and then we can you know let her sit here and run a little bit see if that lifts her tick come out of it well today's flavor of oil is Shell Rotella t4 says she's got the triple action on her even though a forest quad I don't know anyway it's heavy-duty diesel oil and I get asked a lot in the comments do I really use diesel oil and the answer is yes she's got a lot more vitamins and dinosaurs in her or zinc and here's a good example royal purple which is a really really good oil if you look at their 1540 of believe the viscosity index is about 145 146 well this he wrote Ella she's 135 so that's close and this is 18 million dollars cheaper hmm makes sense it's like I'm going to do a hood insulation delete so it stops getting sucked down the old throat bone here man that's bad come on right and the carburetor that's fine it'll chew it up so bad I'm gonna light her up again and let her get toasty see if the thermostat will open it does have some coolant dinner and then I'll top her off then I'm gonna run the old Berryman be $12 and just feet or a couple onions and see what we can blow out okay here we go I can't believe it's already running this smooth she does have just a little bit of a Miss but remember she's got the old sparkle adders in her still I sure would like to save that 16 bucks so well tied this Berryman in a minute see if we clean her out she's starting idle a little bit better and the thermostat did open I got that popped off this is going you know it's going to good which definitely means there's gonna be no breaks or the old transmission just you know she's not gonna work but that's all the Berryman downer and see what that does a lot of different ways to do this I like to throw her right down the a pat this letter ito she's tuned well I've got a little bit of a vacuum mass going on back here what is this why I don't know we'll just it runs without it we'll just pretend we didn't see that this one here is snipped off and I could see it hooks on down there what's that do I don't know we're just gonna cap her off and then this one swings out here and I think that plugs into the air cleaner we don't need that we'll cap that one off and this one I believe went right here to the transmission we do need the vacuum on the trans so I'll run some lying off of here ouch every time god I always carry some of these caps around and these are the bad kind you don't want but they're really handy you can just you know delete things I think I want the blue flavor here nope gotta go yellow drop it there we go yeah oh that's a that's a blue one I knew it well you just got to trust your instincts sometimes guy they're weird suction to be thingy that's deleted now I just got to get some lying off the back here this you'll make it happen er oh I pulled the to be right out of it dang it hopefully that'll just kind of ease back in there that's not the right size but I don't know something like that Toby thing back on jam this back in here you got a wiggle on it maybe wiggle down yeah I guess I could test it no just let it be I got a mess cook in here anyhoo well I got the front tires dangling here I think I'm gonna swap on these I did bring some high-performance rubber with me just in case I did get her going wind is just on level tap bring it down bring it down sorry about all the noise but that's just the way she goes you know oh yeah barely rotates that's fine stuck on the car that's even better I've never what is going on here things are just going really great here big storm came whipping through and I tried to bite down on a stick and film through her and camera tipped over and destroyed my really expensive lens so that's good I'm down to my cell phone from 2014 the good news is I did get the wheels swapped on they're holding air a dug out all the Hornets nests and the door jams and agrees these up and they were pretty good well there's another one they're just everywhere get out of that door shut nice and all of the power windows they work here comes that wind again dang it the other great news is I've got I mean well that's basically empty so I've got a you know get out of here and somehow to a gas station arm maybe a gallon and we haven't even tested the transmission yet so everything is kind of just coming together for me I think I'm gonna pick up kind of my mess here and then we're gonna quick test on the transmission and just go and see I think there's a gas station about six miles from here so maybe we'll make it probably not well guys got this all buttoned down and I even snipped in a new air cleaner really starting the lake on this old girl and if I may let's look at the interior again I mean it's actually really meant there's just nothing wrong with any of the door panels or the seats what is this now I don't know but there's no rips tears no weird where the sills are in really good shape the doors aren't rotted out not a single crack in the - I just can't believe it maybe this is 27,000 miles I don't know you guys put it down there in the comments let me know what you think I'm gonna bottle your mind again did you know that there's 16 different color combinations you can do in here between leather and vinyl and cloth that's just crazy well let's see if this transmission works that's kind of the last piece and then maybe we'll worry about you know the old stop laters well where did the keys go now I just can't get nothing right guys just not used to having these ignition sticks they are pretty handy at all fires right up oh yeah I got to remember I only got no fuel brake light comes on hardly anything all the way to the floor drive what moves I think I got a break hanging yeah she's moving I'm gonna take it break is hanging but I think we're gonna need that you know I can't believe this I really didn't think this was going to work out today to be honest well oh that's not park anywho maybe a guy should check on the old brake juice did I even bring any probably not you know honestly if the brakes didn't work today I wouldn't even be mad dad and I'm just used to it you know how does this one come off get out of there well why aren't you just listen you got it you need to come off of this so I could check it out yeah well what kind of operation is this thing now it's not good it's not good well the rear reservoir here she's down well I'm bi down I mean bone-dry and in Minnesota what that usually means is there's a leak and every time you step on the brake pedal I just shoots it out on the ground I'll pump them slowly see what I get well what's it telling us still up pedals really soft I'm sure it needs blood but I just don't got the time we got to get going no I'm just why they gotta engineer this in such a fashion that well you need a team of laborers to even get this done all right guy just finished setting up the fuel system here and it's looking good I got my primer ball within reach case I got an inject on it and take your time and do it right you got to tape it on the door here not the fender so you can get her open at the service station see and then you got to keep this this is a service loop gentlemen down here you got it that's important you're getting you need this and you don't want her taunt and she'll bite down here and that'll cause you issues but I think we're ready to test on her and see if we can get up that hill and maybe got one shot of fuel in there so we're just gonna have to peel some onions and make it happen oh here we go sad noise Oh sucking fuel this wasn't used to it alright get turned around all that break is this dragon I might need that in a minute though see it stops here right now get some baggage did I even check the transmission sounds like I did well must have something I think I got my pass picked out no poor old car sitting for 20 years taking a dirt nap and she's just gonna get fat here I just want to keep the oil pan there's so many trees in here come on baby oh oh he's a cake here's some iron he's so thick you could burn it my good going the town truck she's broke down you know so we're leaving that I grabbed my harbor freight tools out of it and there's some miscellaneous parts feel filter stuff like that some coolant you have to gas jug and Jack I don't know if that has air does it nope yeah and I'm not even sure if it overheats or nothing or if it has lights Suns gonna go down here pretty soon so we're gonna do the right thing and just head for the gas station and see what happens seems like a couch oh yeah well I think I'm not gonna check the transmission oil cuz that'll probably just jinx me right yeah okay let's go taking his bottom out right here yep right on cue just winger out on the road what the heck got some bad stumbles there we go first time on the road 20 years she's doing pretty good kind of stairs this pedometer works set the trip it's proud about the break situation can you pump them at least that doesn't really do anything either I don't think I'm gonna make it back with that situation though that is pretty bad how about the ninth pump to come around why did this break off now okay we just got a shoot across Hazzard County here about three and a half miles we get some feel for this thing and then I've only got it's not bad it's about 30 miles home I hope these slightly the Blessed mountain tires will hold up more than the broad ones that were on it okay that's far enough let's bring the speed up sixty-four she disclosed shut there now burn take that spray damar already on fire take that break that's hanging is just she must be just smoking out there hard works it ooh bad clunking what is that this left front caliper is really hung up and I'm just going to still try to make it to the gas station I think I got an idea for the Left Front here I'll just vice-grip off that line and I don't think sad just fine the smella break is Zack watch out car I just I can't stop like that you just need to be careful around me okay yeah we got ya so I'm gonna let her idle I think well I think the guy's got the brake caliper fixed up correctly and though we did that by just shutting her off up here you know and then you got a hold this device down to the frame and I think this rubber line might be collapse it just didn't feel right in there but this will work just fine well everything's going great you know I've got maybe 10 zip ties left plenty of sunlight and we just got you know 29 miles left that's all we're good now we just brought her basically you let them front brake pads of the south clearance should work out you just sometimes you gotta focus that yeah okay she pulls hard to the right now towards I just gotta try to not hit the brakes at all I don't know how to set it I guess I flipped it on is there a button where we got the radio anything power light got no juice clock is down what about wipers well they you know they move but there's there's no rubber on there just right

Wish he could lend me some of his idgaf attitude.
