Picture taken last night at Big Hill Cider Brewing in Gardner’s PA in Adams County. That’s his wife beside car. Has a caddy 500 engine bored to 540 ci with two stage nitrous setup.

Very nice.

Very nice and rare at that.

Yeah, 1968-1969 was 2 year bodystyle. In 1970 the Cadillac made the 500 ci engine too

Known a guy back in the late 1980s who had a Caddy with the 500c.i. engine and man did that thing drink gas. Went to a car show in Carlisle with him and you literally watched that gas gauge move when he would get on it.

Very nice and I'd cruise the heck out of it.

He does that. Used it for 6 good friends wedding drive too. It does 14.87 in 1/4 mile without nitrous. Best pass with nitrous was 13.49 at Maple Grove Raceway. The first 500 block; we bored to 515 ci, but nitrous hit of 150hp pushed piston out the block. Forged crank and aluminum “bulldog heads” were fine

I had a 1968 Coupe De Ville, loved the car a real highway boat, but I loved it.
