    I bought this lil deuce this weekend.. The guy owned it for about 20 years.. He never really drove it much, said it was built in the 70's and they used to bring it to the dragstrip.. it had a 427 in it but this guy dropped in a 283. Its an all steel car and everything under all of that shag is really nice.. My plans are to ditch the sweet chassis and put it back on a 32 chassis with a 331 cadillac i have. I got a hell of a deal and drove it home.

    any one have any pics of 3 windows with cadillacs in them??

    Yeah, that's a 70's build looks like other then the 80's tub job. Love the red shag! great score, hope besides the duece chassis you plan on "un" tubbing it as well.

    Glad you saved this from more people with bad taste.
     
  15. You lucky bastard! I wonder how much a "hell of a deal" was? Anyway great score and good luck with your plans.

    Yes, It was on craigslist, 10 mins from my house.. The owner was a real nice guy....but did not have a clue about the car, he told me it was chopped 5"....hmmm... he also said it was channeled.. i cant figure that one out either, the price in the ad was a great deal... and i haggled him down a whole bunch... Yes, i plan on putting the stock firewall back on it, "un tubbing" it and putting it on the stock chassis, I have a done 331 Cadi with an edmunds 2x2 and a chrome dropped and drilled heavy axle waiting for it.
