What??? Your selling it?? Would this have to do with the talk of a Miata?

Yeah man, it's time for her to find a new home. :)

I was thinking of a Miata because I wanted a convertible that I could have fun at the AutoX with also. I had driven a MazdaSpeed turbo one when they first came out and fell in love with it... But then I drove an NA 2002 this weekend with the 1.8l and that ended that train of thought real quick. ;)

I'm going to get a convertible of some sort. Maybe an LS1/T56 Firebird or Camaro. Possibly even a Mustang GT. We'll see what's available. I want to drive a Porsche Boxster, too.

So c'mon guys! Spread the word around!!! :D

FTS-V?!
Dude, there's only ONE FTS and it's NOT for sale.
I missed you at the ISSCA meet in the Poconos last month. Had one guy come up and ask me about my car. Said he knew you. Mentioned something about you weren't at the meet because your car was apart.

Hey Kevin, I didn't know you were still around here. Guess they took ya back, huh? ;)

Yeah, I had my car apart during Mountain Madness. It kinda sucked, cuz I was really looking forward to going. But she wasn't all back together yet. :(

Good to see ya still around! :D

I think we should be placing bets as to whether you REALLY sell it this time or not. Anybody up for a pool! ;)
Yeah, it would've been nice to see some more Cadillacs at the meet. There was me and one other guy with a basically stock Fleetwood. Hell, there were more Buick wagons there!
But about that name for your car........... :suspect:

toomanytoys, isn't there some videos out there on your car down the 1/4 mile?

I would love to see them again.... I have some fans of the WRX here who get a real kick out of seeing a Cadillac fly down the 1/4 mile!

And anyone else too!

08-24-05, 01:01 PM
Oh Kevin, don't get your panties in a bunch. :) It's just a badge. ;) If you want to claim the rights to it, that's ok by me. Yours isn't the only FTS out there anymore. It may be the original, but there are others now (and not just mine). :D

Thanks for the props guys. :D

Now find someone to buy it!!! :)

Yeah, I actually have a couple on my webpage (http://www.uniquekind.net/caddypage)... I think they are on the front page in the middle... somewhere... But they are old... :)

You should do a couple before you sell it for old times sake!

Same color as my Fleetwood... Though I don't have the soft top, or the rok done yet... If you have any extra infor on your conversion to a stick shift, could you pass it on to me? It'll be useful to know any challenges I should keep an eye out for. Same on the construction of the center console.

Swap was very easy with Josh's kit. www.bigfastcar.com

About the console? Ask and ye shall receive... (http://www.inegma.net/mb/index.php?showtopic=1043&hl=)

Good luck with yours!!! :D

Excellent, and thank you TooMany... The way you did that brings to mind some other ideas for me... There's a significant amount of space in there, I think that with some moderate wiring, a bit of extra cooling routing, that the internal brains of a computer could be fitted in there, run a small AC vent across it (would even head back to the rear passenger's feet) and put a flip out computer screen in where the factory radio is. Might take a bit of time to boot up, but with wiring work, could have some of the accessories sort of remot from the main CPU.... Yes, I'm having more ideas on this vehicle.... Now where the hell will I hide my CB radio? :) Think I'll need to step up my alternator and battery as well... I wonder how feasible it is to run 2 alternators full time on a car? 1 slightly smaller one to run the car and its essentials, 1 to run just the accessory electronics and radio... Thank you very much TooMany... going to have me planning even more expensive modifications to my car....

Yup, I think it is the same color as mine. Is it? It is hard to tell.

Did the 6 Speed Fleetwood get sold?

LaneWvr
09-29-05, 03:42 AM
That's a sweet Fleetwood! And you were thinking of buying a Miata? Don't count it out yet, put an aftermarket turbo on it and it flies. I have a small greddy that runs 9 psi and it runs a 14.14 in the 1/4. There is a guy around town here in KC that has a t3/t4 turbo set up and is running in the high 10's. Plus you can't beat the Miata's handling. Check out Miata.net it's like this site but with more people.

I was wondering whatever happened to TMT, and now I know. :(

Whoever bought that baby needs to join here. I love this quote from the ebay ad:

This car will amaze you. It will make your life better. It will make you more popular. It will get you laid. It will make you a better person… Ok, maybe not all that stuff, but at the very least you’ll have a blast owning it and I’m sure you’ll never regret the purchase. J



TMT left positive feedback for the buyer, so I guess it's a done deal.

09-30-05, 12:16 PM
Yeah guys, she sold. Done deal. I hope she'll be happy down in NJ. :)
