Ohhh how I want one of these. The coupes are so bad ass. Anyone on here have one? The Ape Man 04-20-05, 05:32 PM It took me 5 years to fine mine. The one on Ebay is even more rare as it has the D'Elegance package. The seats are spiffier. Broughamadrosis 04-20-05, 06:03 PM I had an 80 Coupe - diesel converted to Olds 403 - nice cruiser...
The looooong doors were nice for side visibilty, but was a bitch in parking lots... :) CadiJeff 04-20-05, 06:04 PM Next best thing, 1981 coupe deville The Ape Man 04-20-05, 06:52 PM I knew a lot of people didn't know that there was such a thing as a 2 Door Fleetwood during these years but even my insurance company was lost when my wife read the VIN# to them on the phone.
If you even see one of these at the junkyard, grab all the brightwork. There are several 2 door Fleetwood only parts. I sold a bunch of that stuff recently. Cleaned out the attic.:yup: DopeStar 156 04-20-05, 11:58 PM The coupes are cool but it's all about the Fleetwood. I've had experience with these doors before on my Lincoln Mark VII. I once accidentally knocked my friend Allison on her ass with my Lincoln's door. The Ape Man 04-21-05, 12:10 AM Ever see the old mob movies where they open the door and knock someone over while driving by? Gotta have a 2 door car for that.
Nothing like the crash beams in those doors either. The Army Corp of Engineers should adopt a giant 2 door Cadillac door design for use as an instant bridge. powerglide 04-21-05, 03:41 AM These thing are awesome!!
Always wanted one.... junkpicker 04-21-05, 05:43 AM there is one for sale close to me. im in Pa. i thinks its 3000.00 Pete Benson 04-21-05, 08:34 PM Fantastic looking cars. There was one recently on eBay - black on black with red leather and genuine wire wheels - that was absolutely spectacular. DopeStar 156 04-21-05, 09:40 PM Shit I wish I had seen that one! I love black and red. Pete Benson 04-22-05, 02:33 AM Dopestar / Check out the red one on eBay/Cadillac, item #4544765227. Except for the grotesque aftermarket continental kit, this car is waaaaaaay cool. brougham 04-22-05, 07:46 PM WOW! I like that red one a lot better then the brown one! And the continental kit makes it even better!! :) adam_mcd 04-22-05, 08:25 PM i dunno..after 1980, i didnt like caddys as much. all about the 70's. to me, the 80's caddies became more dinkier with crappy grills and smaller engines. but thats the exact brown i have on my coupe. metallic medium copper i think?

Either that guy has crazy money to burn or he's living in Fraud City USA. One or the other. That being said, I agree, the side mount spare looks terrible. It almost makes you dizzy. evilrussian 04-23-05, 07:08 AM Hey, check out this beauty...

That's one helluva coupe :worship:
Dope, I think that's your color too... DopeStar 156 04-23-05, 11:21 AM Daaaaaamn! That's my color all right. The Ape Man 04-24-05, 09:48 AM Nice car nice color. Gimmie about 3 hours to clean out the HT-4100 and spare tire. Now where's that 425 oil pan? DopeStar 156 04-24-05, 02:19 PM It looks like that continental kit leans backward for trunk access.I like the car but I'm not too fond of the interior and the engine. CoupeDevilleRob 04-25-05, 11:12 AM Nearly 20,000 for an 84 Coupe!? I can't believe the money these cars are starting to go for. I've got a gold mine parked in my garage. DopeStar 156 04-25-05, 12:08 PM I would love to get my hands on an 81 Fleetwood Coupe. I want that V8-6-4 368 engine. |
