This afternoon's score, or "My first step toward hot-rod elitism"

"Street rod" guys ARE good for somethin'.......they give away GOOD parts!
Just got this pile back to the shop about an hour ago--48 Caddy Sedanette---nothing much to get excited about until I peeked under the hood...

hmmm...49(?) engine with a 4bbl....then I looked inside

ah-HA! 3 pedals!
Engine's probably junk, but the same guy GAVE me the RUNNING 331/hydro out of his 'street rod' project, a 49 Sedanette(replaced it with a 502/700R4) last winter
Drivetrain secured---now I need a body and ch***is.

I guess this was worth the rollback/towing bill.......

 

Nice score.

 

And save the dash the Juke Box dash is mad $$$$'s to the greybeards!!!!

 

save any thing you can off it . when i sold my 50 caddy all the **** i shaved off it sold for over a grand on ebay. some guy paid 300 for the caddy crest and v from the hood and trunk and they where not too nice. some one in finland paid 150 for the jack and lug wrench.

 

Sounds like your turning into a Caddy *****..... I mean hoarder

 

Man, how she talks now that she's got her car away from him. And in such a short time too. Ha, she probably contributed to his "collection" too.

Now, how did that saying go... with friends like that...

Nice score Mike.

You want another one? Its going to the junk yard next week.

 

Sorry I don't think I can see a 48 Caddy sedanette and not get excited. With three pedals I'd have a hard time controlling my bodily functions!

 

What a jerk!!!

 

Where the hell you find all this goodness, i´m just wondering. Maybe i had to move my adress near to your hometown.

 

DAMN!!! ...and I thought my truck was rusty!


Nice score there Farmer Foose.

 

You are a Rock Star Mike

 

What am I looking at? Is that an automatic swap out, or a heavy-duty Caddy stick. Or is it a clutch-hydro?

 

Earl, are the long chrome moldings on the rear fenders in decent shape? If so, I'm in desperate need of at least one!!! Let me know. John...
