Some might say owning a big, thirsty land yacht in Austria, where streets are narrow and fuel prices are high , is a bit insane. And they would be correct! Had I known what I was getting myself into, I possibly may have never bought this Cadillac but, truth be told, I am happy I was so naive.My dad owned plenty of cool cars when I was young, but the one I loved the most was his 1968 Corvette convertible with a 427 big-block.
Since December 2021, I have fixed the suspension and changed the lights in order to conform to European laws, such as amber blinkers and headlights that are not sealed-beam.However, a major issue that wasn’t present when I bought the car but reared its head last summer. I had tried to get the timing right, so I bought an electronic ignition conversion, stiffer mechanical advance springs, and a new vaccum advance canister.
