Thread: Bad for him good for Me.

Tweet

I just had a buddy call me, that I sold a 69 fleetwood caddy to a couple years ago. Said he had a accident with it and he was gonna junk it, that it was gonna cost to much to fix. I told him when I sold it to him if anything ever happened to it to sell me the motor and trany from it.
Anyway I got the call and am glad he didn't just junk it, because I went
thru the motor and put new seals in the trany just before he got it.
That motor pulls so hard and that was in that stretched out fleetwood that weights 6,000 pounds. I had a guy in one of those two seater Audi pull up to me when we came off the ramp from the freeway on day.
He said he seen me getting on it and it was all he could do to stay with me.
He wanted to know what motor was in it, HE! HE! HE!
Them old caddy motors do good with thier 400hp and 500 plus foot pounds of torque. Maybe I'll build that up a little and drop it in the old Ford pickup.

You just gotta love those old Lux motors. They work really well in an old pickup truck.

We had a 70 Sedan DeVille that we bought in California when we lived there. Took it back to Pennsylvania and people couldn't believe an old car looked so good......no rust at all and it looked as if it were only a couple of years old.

It had the 472 in it and that big monster would move. I used to do smokey burnouts for my Kids when they were little, sometimes pulling our utility trailer.

One the the best motors ever built IMO.
