Sure do! And that's a sweet one. Any plans to put it all back together again?

Wow. That Caddy is tremendous. Why did you decide to part with it?

I pushed it to the side of the road and went to work. 12 hours later I went back and it was gone. No idea what happened to it. I like to think that someone found it, got it started and that it lived another day.

Anyway great car. Slant six engine was super reliable. After all it lasted close to 30 years. Of course by then the body was in pretty bad shape.

This is NOT a picture of my actual car, just a photo I found online to give you an idea of what the car looked like. It's even the same color, but as I said mine was in considerably worse shape than this one.

Nice! I love Mopar. Great story. Curious if you reported it stolen, or just let it move on?
