DORIS- the 1968 “Gatillac” Coupe De Ville W.I.P
In mid- 2024 I bought a 1968 Cadillac Coupe De Ville which will be the base of a mobile FM transmitter. My goal is to fully restore and customize the car myself, learning the techniques and tricks to make the car mechanically sound and aestetically unique.

The 1968 Cadillac Coupe Deville has a 8 cylinder 472 7.7L engine. It grossed 375 HP out of the factory. The engine seems pretty solid when I purchased the car. I’ve replaced gaskets in the exhaust manifold and the head gaskets. I also repainted the engine bay and parts of the engine. I put in a new HEI distributor, cables and spark plugs. I’ve also put new battery cables and grounding straps throughout the frame, engine and firewall.
