Roadkill's 1985 Cadillac

[Roadkill]

Without those knowing letting on ()() I've got a new addition to the Roadkill Fleet.



It all depends on an eBay description, which, to be fair, seemed very frank.

Am intending to pick up this week.

Number three.

The Supra's a loan-only.

Mind you - It'll be three Yanks.



Think that's the current record for MKB . . . ?

Yep the current record but I think Ian had eight at one time

[HardRockCamaro]

Awesome.

Nope.

I was speaking to Vicky . . . apparently I think only three were ever in each of their names at one time (edit, ie. six between two people).





I NEED A FORTH !

I NEED A FORTH !

that rat rod would look cool outside your place and im sure the neighbours would love it

[Jo]

Sammy would love the rat rod

[Roadkill]

Here she is . . . (in fading light)

Indicators all sorted (thanks Titsy) . . Thanks also to Shifty for assistance with disabling the irritating 5 - TRUMPET DIXIE AIRHORN !!!

Redneck 4 teh win, not.

I'll give her a hoover out tomorrow and check the fluids properly.

The power house 249ci (4.1) V8 motor :



Not sure about the luggage rack . . .



Typical 80's Squareness



Showing the nasty wire hub-caps (now removed)



The near-perfect leather interior . . . did I mention leccy mirrors, windows, 6-way driver and passenger seat all work ?  As does economy guage and the original stereo-radio and equalizer.



Paint's a bit crappy and the headliner is sagging a bit . . roof also needs some trim and the tyres are on their last legs.

But she was £397.38, Baby, Yeah !

[Roadkill]

Oh, and yeah . . . that is a tow-bar.

[F Body]

Can't argue with that

The best bits : The Landau ( spelling ? ) roof , the front end and the interior.

The worst bits : The holes in the rear bumper valance and the rear indicators.

If she runs OK that's a bargin

I agree with two of those . . . the roof I'm not keen on, TBH.

Quoting: F Body

The worst bits : The holes in the rear bumper valance and the rear indicators.

The holes in the valance irritate me so WILL be being sorted . . . also I've already spoke to Titsy about re-doing the indicators so they are as original.

Quoting: F Body

If she runs OK that's a bargin

Yup, seems to.  A little weak when first starting . . . but the HT leads look ancient (and aren't matching) so I'm guessing she hasn't seen a decent service in a LONG time.

I have no money now so that'll have to wait a little longer . . .

[art b]

there goes the neighbourhood...

looks cool enough

[Fieldy]

Very cool looking car.....Nice one

As you said, not perfect, but she was A bargain

[FUBAR]

Looks pretty tidy,

I have to agree with that  does the air-con work?

[Roadkill]

Quoting: FUBAR

does the air-con work?

Dunno.

It's not charged - that's for sure . . . .

Also there's an issue with the vent selector . . . you know on the camaro it's vacuum operated via a twist switch ? - well on this we think it's vacuum operated but it's selected via electricronic switch.

It blows to the floor and nothing else  . . . ?

You'll have to try not to steam them windows up then.......
