I finally made that step. I finally broke from the norm. Just 5 parts cars ago was my first 5.7, now todays another.

Not a 90,91,92......



1994!!! Fleetwood Brougham!
My first 93+ body style, and boy did i start off on the right foot!

94 Fleetwood Brougham, with my FAVORITE WHEELS!!! AHAHAHA Yes, factory Caddy chrome wheels. Ohhh my paypal acount is waiting!
208k low low miles. "Plum" on matching "plum" Locking gas door, wheels, CD player for the options i could spot. Thing is i dont really know much about these cars. Never striped one, and i dont have a clue what most of the parts are worth. I have only delt in 80-92's

Its sopose to run, but the last owner took some vaccume lines off for his 93 Fleetwood. Yah thats right, im getting sloppy seconds. It was already a parts car. Id like to get it running again, but he cant reamember where they came from under the hood, and i have never worked on one of these before. He gaffed the power antenna, and swaped out the headlights and corner lights. His fleetwood had about 325k original miles on it. Honestly looked like a 50k mile garaged car. I would have never belived him if he didnt show me the odometer. Not a scratch on it. Only defect was a worn drivers seat and a few chips on the front edge of the hood. He had this parts car for 3 years, and finally decided he didnt need it sitting around anymore. When i found the deal on CL, he was actually selling the pair as a package, but then thought it threw and couldnt part with his 93. He has had it since it was 50k miles young.

Anyways, i got it yesterday, and while i was 2 hrs from home i met up with a fellow forum member and dropped off some parts. So the trip worked out.

Anywhich way it worked out, because those wheels. :) What a difference. They should have been standard. If i had one of these, i wouldnt be able to rock the polished alloys. No way.

Rust free rear bumper if thats of any importance, i know its a big deal on the 80-92.

Already sold both 1/4 trims too. To a customer at the body shop. So it REALLY worked out.

I really cant tell you what i paid for it, i would honestly get arrested by the Cadillac Police.

Nice to see you're finally moving up into the last generation. If only you could experience that LT-1 power.....

Nice work. You'll get decent money for the LT1/4L60E. Actually, I might buy a 94 RMW that needs that trans...

Sending you an email with some info, too...

It actually looks salvagable. Good deal, I hope.

You know chad, thats really the main reason i want to get it running. Well, other then being able to move it around the Cadillac ranch. I have only driven one of these. I forget what year it was, but it was some time ago. For a member here on the forum, who was looking to buy a car in my area. I went and checked it out, test drove it ect...

Feels HUGE just sitting in it.

I remember driving the other one, and having this one seeing it, makes me want to go buy one. But i cant leave my 90-92 shell so easy.


Thanks for the email Jay....

Deville33, where abouts in the western part of the state are you? I got this out of Springfield. Im in the Billerica/Lowell area, about 2 hrs east. It was actually right down the street from where i picked up that baby blue 88 i got off another forum member. I went right past it.

Funny how it works out.

It does look good exterior. Its not to bad. Alot of little dings. A few of the lower trims have dings. Drivers door is wrecked, poor chrome. grilles pushed in, front end chrome shows 200k. Inside is ok. Huge cracks in the football field sized dash pad, and the drivers rear window is off the regulator, so it wasnt up all the way. So the seat and carpet over thiere is NASTY.


I love the vanity mirrors in the headliner, and the way the rear window/ c pillars are in from the inside. Also like the lamp indicators on the fenders. Hood ornament is too "deville" to me.... needs to be bigger. I dont like the big flat spaces of the rear door jabs for some reason. Or how the b pillars wear the material off. Looks beat. Do like the heated seats. And those wheels. Im beside myself on how good they really look. The 3 or 4 sets i had and sold in the past, i got threw deals on CL and ebay, but they werent on cars. This one i have the whole car sitting on them. THey are beautiful.

There is a guy down the road that has this exact car sitting in his yard. I have been on him to sell to me for parts. Old guy, but the cars kinda beat like this. He used it to tow a camper, but doesnt anymore. Now he has a new deville. Still has the fleetwood and the camper, and if he gets rid of the caddy, he cant move the camper. Both havent moved in 3 years atleast. But that car has the reg alloys. What a difference.

Knowing you, you'll get your investment back four-fold on those wheels alone! :thumbsup:

And at least you're not dismantling one of our beloved 90-92s... thanks! :thepan:

I do like those wheels. And I'm not too far. But my budget is blown for this car for a while.
I paid $1300 for mine with 71k. How much better of a deal did you get?

That was ME! Ah, I remember the black & red with sunroof '93 still! Too bad it was northern and semi falling apart for the low miles. I really liked that car.

Oh well. Thanks again, hah, and that '94 looks oddly great...especially compared to the typical one and even those with less miles. Shows what owner care, even for parts, can do.

I dont have any use for mustang parts... sorry.


I paid less then salvage yard/junk price for the car, lets just put it at that.


cruiser, i loved driving that car> it was just totaly a different feeling. Sharp car too.


Im thinking about keeping these wheels. Never know if i will run into one of these cheap money, and if i have one, i would HAVE to have these wheels on it.


Working on parts car #18 already. Minus 21 years from this one, and subtract 2 doors. Add a delegance package. :)

I'm farther west than Springfield, up in the Berkshire Hills. I go through Springfield on INT 91 everyday during the week. The last '77 I picked up came out of Connecticutt. It took over a week to finally clear the paperwork through the RMV. What a crock.
