Just like it says. My '76 Cadillac SDV has died - broken frame and no brakes. Yup, related items. Anyway. I've been out of the car market for a few years (economy), dabbled in OT cars for a bit more, now wish to get a car that will get me to and from, has no electronics at all (pre '67, generally), decent fuel economy (6, small 8), 4 door, stick/no options, and good parts support. Yet, I'm easy. All can be fudged, save size/economy (no big-block Falcons, and no more Cadillacs, for now) Where do I search, besides eBay?? Budget's about $3,000, so Ramblers are in the running, too. I sound like a newbie [sigh], but I'm in kinda dire straits, having only a motorcycle, living near Chicago, and 25 miles from work. Oh, yeah, I've a good running 500 Cadillac with a good TH400, surrounded by a car body that's a wreck. Scrap is what's going to happen unless someone offers something. Thanks for looking in, Cosmo
Craigslist. I'd suggest the smaller towns listed around Chicago. I don't know how it is up there, these days, but there were tons of pre-67 runners in Florida in the last few months.
try tempestsearch.com. or searchtempest. its a website that searches all craigslists ads withing a radius of your zip
Can't help you on your car search, but maybe I could take the cad off your hands and replace it with a (small) amount of cash if I can find out what years are acceptable for disc brake conversion on my 67?
Disc conversion?!?! '68 through '76, unless I'm mistaken. F-75's used different, as did commercial chassis, but I believe that a spindle swap with SDV/CDV/Brougham is all you need to do. And BTW, new calipers/rotors/pads/drums/shoes. Lines were new, too, but can't hold a frame together Thanks for the help - I was unaware of those searches - keep it coming. Cosmo
