Man, those old caddies are solid, just weld the doors shut and strip everything out of it and you'll be in good shape.

You gotta get a video of that beast in the derby, that would be so funny watching a giant cady in a demo derby.:macho

[Hondadudeehhhh]

she should hold up for a while but a station wagon would be a better bet. Just remember to keep all the vital stuff (if allowed) in car, like the radiator. Demo derbies are SOOOOOOOOOOOo much fun and it's not always fun to win, just as logn as you stay in for a while its such a blast. I dont nkow if you've ever been in one but its a great time

he's right, that would be a good car, dont get me wrong but station wagons seem to last longer. remember to put the battery in the back seat, and take the radiator out and put exhaust pipe that runs across the TOP of the engine to by-pass it. make sure you sharpen your front bumpers too, to slice the tires of other cars:D

make sure you get a pre 78 which that car is becuase most cars after 1978 have crush panels and the fenders are weak as hell the two toughest cars made are lincoln continentals and if you can find one a chrysler Imperial but with the chrysler you need to stick a chevy or caddy motor and tranny in them because that mopar stuff is weak trannys blow all over the place in them but those chassis are extremely strong in the front
