Beware...old geezers in Caddy's
Hi, I'm new to this forum, but have been "involved" with cars my whole life. In 1976 I was the first guy to reproduce the Corvette (63-67) knock-off/bolt on wheels. And in 1998 I designed and manufactured an aftermarket block for Pontiacs! An honest to god 400-455 style block that has pushed Pontiacs to over 200 MPH in umder 7 seconds. My current toy is a low mile (34000) 1976 Seville with a 454 Chevy. A real joy at the stoplight grand prix.

Welcome aboard. I once had a '76 Sedan Deville with the 500 caddy motor. 3 tons of fun I used to call it. Many very experienced and knowledgeable folks here (myself not included). You should fit right in...

Beware of old geezers driving Caddys?
I understand what you're saying, Geezer 2, but I'd recommend that people beware of us old geezers no matter WHAT we're driving.
We're menaces ....... shouldn't be allowed on the roads ..... we all have slow reflexes and can't see. Everybody knows that!
Welcome aboard, and come take a ride with me in my Cad 500 powered F100 when I finally get it running.

I live in a state where the left turn signal wears out before the car does!! I have first hand knowledge of "old people" in cars.
I may age, BUT I'LL NEVER BE OLD'!!
And, I'd love to ride in your truck.
I've owned a lot of interesying muscle cars, but the caddy is the most fun I've ever had.
God help me, I LOVE FAST CARS!
It is a new aftermarket one, new, but not packaged. It came with the dipstick. Chrome, about 7 1/2" long with a bend in it.
