How much is a gasser Caddy worth?

[nathan_b]

yes, but you arent buying a 40-45mpg truck, you are buying a 30yo gasser that is rotten and has no oil pressure.

 

gotta keep it in perspective

bajacalal - welcome to what is considered "clean" on the east coast That one looks clean on the outside, but like the other guys mentioned, it has a lot of crust underneath. That pass side inner fender is always rusty and mine had that hole in the kick panel area - a big mess. Good luck with it.

Hey , I see your're in New Paltz. I used to go to the Gunks a lot to climb. Do you have a diesel Caddy? I may be making a trip there for a bike ride in a few weeks and would love to see your Caddy.

I was going to drop a diesel in it. But with the rust it's not happening.

Well it says that 82 could have possibly come with two trans.. so when your looking at the rust next time quickly crawl under and look at the flat machined area on the transmission bell housing, right at the bottom, and see if the code says GY or GP.

GP (3+E from '81)           3.89   3.45   1.75   1.06   0.71   
GY (3+E 8/82-7/84)   4.17   3.45   1.75   1.06   0.71

Either way with stock sized tires, you are looking at 25-2700rpms cruising at 65mph.

prolly has a GC trans, they were the most common gasser trannies..
