Just took these pics in our office parking lot. My buddy Mitch at work also took advantage of the nice weather and drove his 80K mile, 500-cubic-inch '76 Caddy Coupe Deville to work today and parked the beast next to the 79 Buick. We drew a crowd after work! Such fun!

He's going to drive to the cruise-in tomorrow, and Dad's going to drive the Roadmonster, and my other buddy Laird is coming in the '86 Caprice. We will have the BIG cars at the meet tomorrow night!

Enjoy the pics!

Hey now, keep in mind those parking spots were drawn for Honda Accords. The boats just barely fit!

That's perfect, and I think Mitch would agree.

Yep. 6.0 Cadillac, TH400, big 8.75 rear. Runs great. I have tinkered with it for a few years getting it nice. Bought it from a WW2 pilot that flew Lancaster bombers during the war...

I like the real wire wheels. Is the modular displacement system still active or have you disabled it? I had a former Cadillac Tech that worked for me at the AC shop years back, and he drove an 81 Seville with the V8-6-4, and he said the "cure" for those engines was to simply disable the system so it ran like a normal 6.0 425 all the time.

I really like the wheels, too. Rare, and they make the look of the car, IMO. It took awhile to find them.

The cyl deactivation is disabled, like most of them were. I have found the wire from the trans that causes the computer to activate the solenoids, and plan to hook it up again this year. However, I will put a switch in, so it will stay in 8 cyl mode until I want it to go to four on the highway. The only problem with the tech was that it had a 6cyl mode. Not balanced properly. Modern systems (GM, Chrysler) only use 8 and 4 mode for that reason.

Here's my project thread if you want to see more...
