Yo, my name is Jet, I'm a poor ass college student from Northern Illinois. Who while driving home from class one day saw a sweet Caddy sitting on the side of the road with a sticker in the window for $500, I was back the next day. The car itself was in overall fair condition, the engine still worked well and the paint was beautiful yet disintegrating, but what caught my eye the most was the all crushed velvet interior in Green and Gold "the words, Pimp on Pimp With Pimp" came into my head. The people I bought the car from were the people who originally did the interior and the chop job in 1981 to the tune of about $7,000, it and the rag top held together pretty well. But I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that the previous owner was a pimp from Chicago named Archbishop Don Magic Juan, he was hot shit in the eighties when this car's flamboyant interior was done and now is an ordained minister who raps with Snoop Dogg.

My plans for reconstruction will include a serious overhaul of the 425 and tranny, at least a pair of supped up alternators, and perhaps a supercharger. The interior is still salvageable so I will do what I can to keep it as close to the original as possible. The paint is a lost cause, it is House of Kolor but there are too many defects partially due to a shitty job when it was first applied, matching is impossible, but I have a connection at a Dupont lab and I will keep it as close to the same shade as I can. I'm still trying to decide on a candy or a pearl, and the new light sensitive stuff might be fun. If you haven?t yet noticed the rear suspension was removed, Hydros would be kick ass but the frame wont take it, airbags is as good as I can do. No ideas for a sound system yet, but I have got a hell of a lot of space to work with, and anything is better than what I found in the trunk when I got it. Came with a free white pimp.

My bad about moving around my page so damn much, I first thought it was a 74 but had to place it on the site as a 75 due to a glitch in the search engine, now I have confirmed after scraping enough paint away from the manufacturers sticker to read the thing that it is a 78. The last thing I would like to say "other than, boo ya I?m an annoying white dude with a sweet pimp ride" is that I am a major fan of Japanese Animation and I am endeavoring to turn this car into a ride for me dressed as my favorite parody of a character named Pimp Gendo. The changes I will make to do this will be small and un-noticeable to someone who has not watched the Anime, including programmable door pops and a specialized car phone in the glove box.This may sound sacrilegious to the average car guy but for an Anime fan it's the greatest thing ever.
