Doing my daily google search for "Green Cadillac Fleetwood for sale" and came across this beautiful 1981 Princess(i believe) Green Fleetwood. Has the 6.0 too. Says the exterior/top/interior are all the same. Wish i had the dough to cough up for this thing.Wish they had more pictures too...
Sage only because of its specific rarity. I dont have any production numbers on anything other than '85. Honestly, any green Fleetwood Brougham from the '80s gets me all giddy and happy, Sage green is just one of them.

I do know one thing about that 8-6-4, back then they weren't shielded (protected) from outside interference too well!
My dad used to be an avid Citizens Band Radio operator, and had a 1,200 watt linear in the trunk, and an 8' whip antenea on the rear bumper of his car, and ever time one of those 8-6-4's got within 100yds of him, that computer would go nuts!!
I hope that if the 8-6-4 comes out again, it's shielded way better!!
I dunno, but I've seen some last a long time! A member on here by the name of Bro-Ham had an '81 FWB Coupe, and I got to drive it back in December of '06 when it had 236,000 on it and the 8-6-4 still worked just fine. I put it on the "active cylinder" display and watched as it went to 6 at about 55mph, then I let off the gas even more and it went into 4 cyl mode. I was really amazed it still worked with that kinda mileage!
Nice find! Although the V 8-6-4s could be troublesome, I don't belive they were as nealry problematic as the HT-4100. I know the 8-6-4s could also easily be modified to a full time 8.
Yeah, often the dealers would go under the hood and disable the 8-6-4 crap right away.
Which reminds me, I wonder if Cadillac is going to implement that idea into one of their upcoming models, inspired by the Cadillac 16 concept with it's variable cylinder operating modes. Hopefully they'll make an awesome new rear-wheel drive luxury sedan, and give me a reason to dream about owning a new Cadillac again.

It's nice, but you should hold out for a coupe like you mentioned earlier. You'll come across one eventually. Probably when you're not even lookin, just like me.
I've got a Car and Driver road test of an '81 Sedan deVille. Their average MPG was 11, city and highway combined! Not too good at all.
