| My new ride...
My wife and I have been looking for one of these for a while. Finally was able to pull the cash together and find the one I've been looking for. 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville, 429 cubic inchs(7L) It had some cheesy wire wheels on it when I got it, but luckily the guy still had the stockers so I put them on it. Been driving the piss out of it, it could use a tune up and a fix of the exhaust, but other than that it's all good. Future plans include adding some bullets to the front hubcaps, replacing the rear fender skirts with the right ones, whitewalls, airbags, stereo, and lots of metal flake. |

I am a big fan of the old school land yachts on bags. You made a nice choice on what car to use Here is my car i had last year on bags 62 Impala. I went for a sporty look but it was always fun to slap the stock wheels and hubcaps on and go for a ride. |

Looks to be in AWESOME condition too! Can't wait to see it finished. When you said you got it I figured it would need some lovin' but it's nice. Good find! Of course now you need to change your title to "Cruisin' the '65" |

Pure sex.. That cars fricken sweet and has SOOOOOO much potential.. Make sure you go nothing less than 22" for rims.. Even 22"s in the rear and 20"s in the front would look sick. But nothing smaller. Small rims make them look really goofy.. Awesome ride.

'65 is the best year! Love that car... anything that could make it better would be a 500ci V8 or a supercharged Northstar. |

Just like the song says Jason, "always wanted me one that was long and black" we could fit 6 of them in the trunk. It needs a few things, but I don't want it too nice, wanna put some serious miles on it. You movin a whole family? Biatch better have my money! Nope, 15's with 3" whitewalls. I do like them with big wheels, but that ain't the direction I am going. |

Love it!! Going old school early sixties custom with it?? I am taking my 61 Ford Fairlane that way.. Gotta get some skirts, and 2 more skinny whites... down the road it will get a full panel style paint job and loads of flake... If I can track down a split manifold for the inline 6 I am hopeing to run bellflower exhaust tips on her.. here is a pic of it out at the Jalopy showdown in 07...
