Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

Don't sell. If you just maintain the car and treat it well you'll be fine. Religious oil, trans fluid, and coolant changes and she keep running. Also don't treat her like a racecar. I'm not saying drive like a grandma, but just don't try to roar out of every light/sign or pass ten cars in the fast lane. I think 3500 was actually just fine, even a good deal considering low miles and two-tone paint. But those are about the only rare traits, so if people offer $5k or more, I would take it. After all it's a nice profit, and you could get a more powerful optioned car like a 6L or a 5.7L which come by the drolls at that price. Don't rush and sell in a panic; you would probably regret it. You have a fine large car with an okay engine which appears to run fine; it's simply an underpowered car.

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

I've been enjoying the photos for a while and decided to post a few of my 1966 Fleetwood Eldorado. Currently has 72,000 miles on the odometer, runs like new. All original, never restored.

And for good measure, I'll include a photo of my 1950.

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

^^^ Now those are my kind of Caddies! I'm just gonna have to stick with 80s/90s Cads until my pocketbook allows for some more vintage cars. My four favorites are the '59, '58, '56, and the '55... in that order too. Really nice. Are they original or did you restore them? May we ask some figures?

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

The '66 Eldorado was all original and nearly showroom new when I bought it in 1994, and with just over 50,000 miles. The only thing I've done is replace the top after the original one (which was perfect) got ripped by a chunk of flying metal kicked up by a semi on the interstate. Aside from that, only normal maintenance such as tune-ups and oil changes, tires, brake shoes, etc. If I had to, I could probably sell it today for about twice what I paid for it.

When I bought the '50, back in 1990, it was also original, but had more than 90,000 miles on it and had sat in a barn for about 20 years. Despite that, with fresh fluids and a battery it started right up and was driven as a daily driver by a friend of mine until I bought it. The body was in relatively good condition, mostly solid with only rust in the rear quarter panels above the rear wheels. The interior was dry rotted and the door panels were rotted away at the bottom, so an entire new interior was put in. While all this was being done, the engine was pulled out and rebuilt, though it still ran strong. It's not a perfect restoration, but it suits me and it runs and drives great. I have a total of about $20,000 in it including the purchase price and everything that's been done to it since.

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

My new 83 Fleetwood found in a storage yard in Richmond. Thought it would be a good parts car until closer look showed 27,750 miles on the speedo. Too good to part out.

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

Hi Robin Banx, why does your FW have a standard speedo? Perhaps it was imported from the US at one time.
Coincidently, I bought my FWB in Richmond last year..

Re: Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

try uploading them to www.photobucket.com, then posting the IMG links here. It's free and relatively simple.
