very nice,.. Congrats and happy b-day too... merry xmas while were at it...
so why limit yourself to a black or white conv. top?.. the pimpmobiles around here run colored tops, i think blue, like a dark navy looks good, but i've seen a dark red and even green and brown tops...
can't wait to see the pics...  what wheels ya' goin with, Trues and Vogues?..

and also, for the past couple of years a white car with black wheels has been viewed as quite "Hot" in the euro-tuner world...

[Charger_Fan]

That's a cool new toy, congrats!

Now are you sure you wouldn't like to make it look really unique??

[HITMAN 149]

[Brock Samson]

[Charger_Fan]

Just start off by chucking those Volkswagen floor mats.
Nice looking Caddy, next summer's gonna be a blast!

[TUFCAT]

Hit, that looks very impressive!  Is that a true survivor?

[HITMAN 149]

640?? thanks!! i 'll try it next time!!!

yo fan...
yea they will go when i pull up the carpet & redo the floor(s)? hahaha farfignuggen or someshit like that?!?!? LOL
yea i hope it's not in the middle of being off the road for the summer??!?!? i may just wait till next winter to start alot of it (just do a couple lil necessary things now)..this way i can enjoy this summer!!!

hey meow cat!! LOL
thanks... and yes it's a true survivor!!! the family i got it from had it for over 20yrs... and they got it from the neighbor down the block who bought it new!!! you should of seen all the old pics of it back in the day when it was allll new & shiney!!!  yea i'm just gonna make it a nice simple driver?!?!? i hope...yea that's how it all starts!!! hahahaha then next thing..it's on the rotiserrie!!! LOL!!!!
new top....CLEAN UP the int!! (it's really in great shape!! neeeeds a real ggggod cleaning!!!) the back pass side is ripped ..but no biggie..... later on ...i may do they over in black leather instead of the brokaid (spelling???) 1/2 leather n vinyl... some nice simple 20"s and of course the body work (prob gonna look for a donor parts car... i think it would be easier & cheaper than fabbing all the body work & making it a bondo bucket!!) i'm gonna do it a pearl white... like the newer caddy color!!! .... i'm gonna try & not go crazy with the resto!!! hahahahaha it's really all there...just needs some LOVE!!! come to big daddy!!! hahahaha
i have to ask DS to photoshop a couple of ideas for me.. wheels & either a black top or keep it white...  hmmmmm maybe a cucci top!!! hahahaha hey..... i've seen em in the dub magazines with like 26" wheels!!!!

from autoextremist...

""White Pearl" Aficionados. From the "Useless Information" File comes word that after seven years in first place, silver is now out-ranked by white/white pearl as the lead color choice for vehicles in North America, according to the "DuPont 2007 Global Automotive Color Popularity Report." As for us, the only car color worth mentioning is black."

[TUFCAT]

I'll tell ya ...that's really a great find then! Hell, I thought it may have been a repaint because it looked so good! Untill now, I never paid much attention to older caddy's - - but, the 1967 model is VERY, VERY nice looking...(and I'm not just rubbing my whiskers on your leg either man)......its clean and simple looking, unlike the later "heavilly over-trimed" years.   

[HITMAN 149]

yes brock...
i do love a black car... as i've already had a black caddy!! i had a 2001 STS!!! woa that was some car!!! 300hp northstar!! handled like a dream!!! i got stopped doing 145 with it one night!!! offhhha felt like your doing 80!!! smooooth as silk... i loved it when young punks with their stangs & rice rockets would pull up next to me!! mua-hahahaha black is beautifull,,, BUT a pain in the assss to keep up!!!!!
plus i'm doing the charger BLACK!!!! hehehehe

hey cat.... as far as they told me is all orig!?!?!?  looks it to me!! hahahaha!!!! yea i like the 67 & 68's ... i like the way the front lights cant forward.. i think it looks cool!! not overly flashy either with big trim!! thanks to all for the well wishes & compliments!!! awwww shucks guys!!! LOL

It looks familier to me too...but it is because a friend of mine has a white on white 69 vert also.

Nice score Hitman! Love those old "Mafia Staff Cars"! Seems to be in great condition. My mom's old boss [a 93 year old woman] had one the same year, just a hardtop. She was about 4'9", and when she sat in it, all you could see was the top of her head! I'll never figure out how she drove that tank around without killing anyone! God bless her!

Good luck with your new toy bro.

 I saw a old Cowboy Movie (rodeo movie) and it looks just like yours, except it always had a horse trailer attached to it.  No Bull.  I think it was a Steve Mcqueen movie ?  Anyway it was a great movie, and it looked like a fun car to play in.  Hey maybe it's a Hollywood car.
Anyway, here's a thought..Put a hottub in the trunk, gets some colllege cheerleaders and I will join ya.

what a small world!!!! as it also turns out they are related (cousins) to a bartender i know in hoboken who drives a 55 chevy pickup as his daily driver. LOL
i'll be picking it up after christmas... towards the end of the month.... then you won't see it outside your shop anymore!!!!!! LOL

[69bronzeT5]

JOHN-O....remember when you first showed me that car? I said...you'll be Boss Hogg! Well guess what...I'm so calling you that from now on!!!

[dc69383]

NICE SLED!!!

[HITMAN 149]

HEY GUYS!! 
has anybody had any experience with those air bag suspensions??? i'm not talking about PONCH "jumping" his charger either!!!  LOL!!
but i was tinkering around with the idea of using a air bag system in the caddy.... do drop it down a bit??  i know nothing  about them?? as far as what companies are good, ride comfort or price wi$e???  so if anybody can chime in w/ some advice, experience or comments i'd appreciate it!! 

also here's some mock up's a friend of mine at work did for me on what i'm thinking of doing to the caddy. i had him change the ragtop to black....my int. is black..so i thought i'd break it up. i think the BIG white car & white top, is tooo much white?!?!? also had him mock up the 3 wheels i came across, that didn't look to much like...umm... i just came out of the "doink magazine phot shoot" with all the 24" & 26" wheels!! LOL    (the caddy in the pic is one that's on ebay right now!!! it's friggggin beautifulll...  MINT!!!! he wants $26.5K for it!!! aggggghhhhhhh lotta coin!!!!!)
thanks!!!!!!!

Sweet ride. Ive always wanted an old Caddy. I came real close to buying a '73 Superior Hearse a few months back. Man I shoulda bought that thing
I like the black wheels and the black top as seen in pic #1.
