You are the pimp daddy, now.   I'd go with a black top. White is to hard to keep clean

dude that looks cool

you...

[HITMAN 149]

hmmmmm sublime green!!!  LOL!!!!!!!

[mikesbbody]

i love the big old caddy's i had a 71 coupe deville i always wanted a convertible but got into mopars instead. I remember despite being such a big car it would just FLOAT along so smooth...the 71-72's were not a pretty car imo, my favourites were 69-70's. nice caddy 

[HITMAN 149]

You are the pimp daddy, now.   I'd go with a black top. White is to hard to keep clean

i was leaning towards the black for that reason... and also to break up all the white... since the car is like 1/2 a block long!!! LOL!!! hehehehe OMG i went out & measured my garage... it would fit... but very snug!! hahahaha

"gotta keep da pimp hand strong YO"

Owner of a '76 Eldorado convertable that's been in my family since new.

Very nice! Congrats on the pimp mobile!

[FastbackJon]

Nice car, and a ragtop to boot! Looks like fun.

[NYCMille]

DUDE!!! YOU ARE MY HERO! I

I friggin' love old Caddy's and that thing just plain ROCKS! I used to have a '72 Eldorado vert. Red w/white interior and a 502... and not a day goes by that I don't miss that thing.

Seriously man - enjoy that thing in good health as you have just aquired one of the Ultimate cruise machines... 

[69charger2002]

what a boat! old caddy's are cool. i wouldn't trade a charger for one, but wouldn't mind having one tucked away for that right "mood".. so when you measured it for the garage, just HOW LONG is it? i've always wondered if it crossed the 20' mark

Hitman,

That car is sweet.  A buddy of mine had one just like it but it wasn't a vert.  He got it for a $1 from his grandpa.  It had 23K original miles on it.  He could fit 9 people in that thing.  Got any other pics?

[HITMAN 149]

thanks for the well wishes from everyone!!!  (wow...go figure.... i'm mike's hero?!?!?! hahahaha) 

yea it needs work... but is all there!!! can't wait till the spring... to pull up & pick my mom up with the top down!!! hahaha she has no idea i bought it!!! ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! it's a secret.. (more so cause i don't wanna hear it from her !!! LOL and she'd prob kill me!!! i can hear it now.. "yea..... cause you friggggin needed that?!?!?!?!?" hahahaha

trav...
i haven't measured the car it self ( believe it's @17' or so) ... but my garage was a good 23-25 ft deep on the side where the caddy will go.. BOY i'm gonna have alot of cleaning out & movin around of stuff in the garage!!! LOL AND also there wasn't even a consideration of gettin rid of the charger!!!! mua-hahahaha actually going over to the shop sooon to see if we can get some work done on it!!!! 

it was just one of things that i guess i just had to have?!?!?! and the price was right... AND IT RUNS N DRIVES!!!! man it started right up tues.. and it was @ 35 in queens on tues (mike will tell ya..especially right near the water!! BRRRRRR!!!!!) ... and the car was ice cold when i got there... still all dirty.. just as she is.. he didn't candy coat nothing... a real nice family!!!! 
i'll post more pics later on tonight... i have to resize them.
