Bought another Fleetwood from a forum member!

Yeah, but if you do the w/p and opti-spark done at the same time as routine maintenance? Let's say every 100k or 125k miles. And the 4L60-E is pretty damn unkillable, especially if the drivetrain is kept stock or close too it.

Thanks! I have all the parts waiting for it to get here.

It should make a nice daily driver.

I just got back from a friday night show with the Black '96 Fleetwood. I took 3rd place, over 150 cars present. Some of the Vette guys were pissed

Elias, how about a race video between the two of 'em....???

That would be pretty boring.

How about a race video between my Black Fleetwood and our Infiniti M45. I just have to convince Nicole to take the M to the track.

And 2 weeks to the day of purchase...it's FINALLY on it's way. Or, uh, will be in the morning.

2 long weeks with 2 different brokers who couldn't get any truck to even think of Delaware, Elias got the name of the 3rd and within a few hours, we were set.

I'm going to snap a few pics before it leaves in the morning and then more when the truck arrives if I can make it back. I'd say I'm sad to see it go, but I've ignored it so long now in the driveway, I'm just glad to see it leaving and on to the great new home...with parts ready and waiting to Elias it up a bit

So what replaces the Fleetwood? Was it a Malibu?

Best of luck with her. God Bless,Joe

Hmmm...I've been waiting for someone to ask that

I'll tell, eventually. I think only Elias and a few people on other forums know. Let's just say that one is a very, very close call, and the real answer is SO different than what even I ever imagined...but I love it.

It finally left yesterday and was already to Elias by early morning. He'll be posting later, but to give a little hint:



I think it likes its new friend Even if that black show car has wide tire envy. Hah!

[I~LUV~Caddys8792]

And to think that I once stood in that garage.

Thanks again Derek for giving me the opportunity to buy your Fleetwood.

Bye Bye Wagon:





Hello Fleetwood:












I will miss the wagon, it was unique and versatile.. but I am a Cadillac man at heart

Take care,
Elias

Thanks, superb pics

Beautiful cars. Now, you have to put both heritage badges in the same place on the grill for the final touch.

Not until you enter the Big Block arena

Been there and done that with my old '70 Coupe Deville Convertible (472 big block).

I will get another one when we build our next house with at least a 4 car garage.
