    1955 Cadillac has a 331 V8 with power steering and power brakes. I found out about it from a friend of a friend of a friend. The woman who had the car said "haul it off and it's yours". How cool is that.

    Wow, good for you. The engine alone for free would be a hell of a score.

    Congrads, Send her a thank you note or flowers and if you have a wife, have her bake her something.

    When they are free, they usually aren't that complete. Well worth the gas and hassle.

    What are the plans for it?

    Lucky duck! I second the flowers/baked goods idea! You really do need to thank the wonderful lady who let you "haul it off"!

    Plans for now are to get it running and driving. It ran a couple of years ago. Complete except for the air cleaner and the hood and trunk emblems . Very little rust. No dents to speak of. Engine turns over. I also got the****le. It even has the automatic headlight dimmer. Yes jeffery james I still need that antennia to match the one I have for the 53 ford.
