Hell yea, He had it going on.. Weren't those old caddies packin 468 and 502's?

my grandma had one with I think a 535 ? we trashed it as kids:sifone:

Yep....That was my boat....280T Volvo Drives with speedmaster lowers.

I had 2 more 28 SS's after that one...... Great Boats. :driving:

LS

Those drives were few and far between. The "T" was rare but the speedmasters were even harder to find. They also blew apart on a regular basis with any kind of horsepower.

sent him an email...will trade 95 ford explorer 4x4, 180K miles, needs heater core, and stereo (It was stolen), passanger door lock frozen, decent tires



figure it's worth a grand max hehehe..but how the hell would I get the damn thing home??? I have a couple spare alphas and one 350 wonder if it would plane if I yanked the 188 monster moters out of the nova??

Borrow a couple of Bobcats outboards and duct tape them to the back. Steer with an oar for a rudder, should be no problem....

Any parts available now?

 

[phragle]

the scarey thing is that if he washed it and used a little black spray paint he could probably clear 10k on ebay....

For the uppers yes. fot the lowers, I doubt it because when they were making them (70's) you couldnt get parts for them. If you follow the link up a few posts and go to post #38 Lucky Strike said he still had a speedmaster in stock from it. That was in Dec of 06 so he should still have it (LOL)

 

[phragle]

you get it home for me and you can have the drives

501 cid.

 

[Prosno]

The Caddy is 69-70 era and came with 472 ci engines, 1974 they went to 500 ci because of emissions

 

[phragle]

the fool turned down my exploder....I'm thinking he would have been the one comming out ahead if he had taken the deal...

Probably

 

[phragle]

he just emailed me back..he wan't 5k for it..it was all I could do to not email him back and tell him to stop smoking crack......

Those 500 caddy's are badass mills. I dropped one in an old 3/4 international I used to have. If I remember correctly they are 425hp 550ft/lbs stock and weigh about the same as a small block chevy if you get rid of the intake for an aluminum one.
