The Last Ride. 1977 Cadillac Hearse Junkyard Find

Shoutout to @DeathRowCarCrusher . This Superior Coach Works built 77 Caddy Regal Hearse haa been the last ride for many souls. Now the Reaper has come for this ride as well. These are normally low mileage even though this one was in kinda rough shape, no reason to doubt the 44k in the clock. Under the hood the big Cadillac 425 was all there. The front of the interior was also decently preserved. Ultimately though, it's time was up.

If you ever come across a hearse and have time it's worth it to pull the hearse specific hardware. The decorative bars on the sides bring big money along with the rollers and hardware in the back. Hearse restorers are always looking for that stuff.

The only car I like more than a station wagon!! Always wanted one. Love it! So cool.

One thing I forgot to mention. I've said it before but it needs to be set again. You take time out and upload and find some of the best stuff. Your videos have been fun from the first one.

What a rare find in a place like this. Too bad this couldn't be saved especially those who like these for so many different reasons. Thank you for sharing this Cadillac hesrse.

Dam should of got them to save that old 425 out of it probably a good one.

There was a junkyard in North Carolina, went out of business in the late 80's.

He had 9 hearses come through over the years. Before they were crushed, he removed the hood ornaments, and waited 1 minute before hitting the switch.


1 minute to remember those who took a final ride.

1 minute to remember the drivers.


1 minute to thank the machine for it's service.

People were dying to ride in the back of that thing

That car did not come straight from the funeral home, dude

[j.sanchez]

That steering column was good, the rims, hub caps,

Obama and Biden were are the worst things to happen to this country. Cash for clunkers was why so many adorable used vehicles left the market and the auto industry still died way to go

[nathankim]

I dunno Benny, I would've ripped off the hood ornament beforehand like a hooligan from the 90s. It was in good condition. I believe the engine is a 425 cu.

That was built by Superior Coach in Lima Ohio, some of my Family worked there and They also built School Buses.

Perhaps I'm superstitious or paranoid or whatnot but I personally wouldn't want to use parts off a hearse never know what kind of energy could be attached best to let it go

[dietergoldschmitt]

This should have never been crushed . There are many people looking to buy these and will pay good money for them.

[JasonShipley]

Sadly this hearse hauled it's last body and now it's life over for this hearse 😥

[lateefcarrere]

They didn't even try to save the 425...geez. Can't be mad at you guys, because at least it's documented before it got turned into a crap pancake. As the Google man said, quite a few of us are going to be pissed. 😡

[Calcite_II]

Damn, I could have used those hubcaps and lock nuts.

[jamespaluch]

Like the theme nothing lasts forever especially hearses & limo's

[sneakerfreak]

Could’ve been the car that carried Elvis

[syngensmyth]

What happens after this. Surely the steel gets recycled but how and where would be interesting to see.
