8 Seconds

I suck, I haven't posted a hooptie in a long time...but I will take the bull by the horns with the hooptie namesake (coupe de) ...this 1969 Cadillac Coupe de Ville should be rolling the dirt roads of Abilene but instead, its long horns are well known in Fairbanks where this street submission  was spotted. Notice the Xterra offered this bull a wide berth. A good thing too, because they be handicapped. This is probably one of the few coupes in the world that would accommodate a full size wheel chair with no doctoring....  With the 472 stock, no doubt in Fairbanks it would only take this bodacious beast 8 seconds to get from one stop to the next. While the color is atrocious by the boring 2015 standards, "Chateau Mauve Firemist" was a stock color in 1969 for Caddie....so there.

 I would be remiss without mentioning the relation of the fine rig above to one of my favorite pimped rides (X to Z) of all time...The 74 Cadillac Snoop de Ville (owned by the now Snoop Lion of Doggy dog fame).
