I got a FREE CADILLAC FLEETWOOD COUPE Today :)

[1990CaddyBrougham]

Oh today was a great day. You guys may remember my post a while ago on whether a 80-84 rrear bumper will fit a 79. That the guy only wanted the back bumper for his 79 off a coupe.

Well after the whole summer i went back. Both cars not touched.
I went by half dozen times all summer, guy was never home.
His wife let me in, i said i came by earlyier in the year to look at it, she said, you must be anthony then... I said yea, how do you know, well you number is on our fridge from when you left it she said. (her husband was in the shower) So waitng for him we talked cars, said how she likes driving in the big caddys, and how she is so happy to see a kid like me liek them and want the load that is sitting on there lawn. ANd how she wants me to get it... bla bla bla.


Her husband came out, talked for about caddys for 45 min, and just told me i could have it. (after telling him the bumper wouldnt interchange, bumper is ****ing rotted anyways) So i was all happy and what not told him that id be back with a trailer and to take anything he wants out of it. Then he told me it was a car from NY and may have bodies in the trunk.... who doesnt say that about cadillacs.....

went back at abot 830 and tried to jump her to drive her on the trailer. (after years of sitting under a pine tree) no go, battery was DEAD!!!! Went home got a good battery, some gas and went back, battey in, gas in and it started rgiht up!! ht 4100 purrred again. It sparked some intrest and the negbors came out... they were happy to see it leave, i dont blame them really.


Car is a 84 Fleetwood Brougham Coupe. Light blue on blue, exterior paint has a nice mossy green custom caked tint to it, and about 4 inches of tree sap and pine needles caked all over it. Pine needles everywhwew, all under the hood and all over the car. Mind you we took it home on a trailer on the highway going 70 and i think maby 2 needles blew off. Shit was caked on.
runs ppissser, leaks tranny flud from a line, and bad break line.

Body is fairly rust free, under side... ehh. Fact. wire wheels, and custom grille....

For a first i can say, the picstures DO justice for the car. Lol.

Hey it was free.

you said that...

...I'd restore it. How much would you want for the whole damn thing?

[1990CaddyBrougham]

Starting with the wrong car to restore here, really.

There are so many to be had. my dad told me the same thing.

To much work.

first time i drove a 4100..... ran great even though it was bleeding tranny fluid and break fluid all over the place.

[Lord Cadillac]

Great deal! heh! Looks like a good fixer-upper! Good luck! Post some pictures after you clean her up...

[Benzilla]

Sal, did you read anything posted above?

I've seen worse than that restored really nice. it just takes the right person. I think after it gets cleaned up really good it won't be that bad.

Thats awesome that you got that car for free. What was the condition of his other car would he part with that too? BTW, whats the red Conv in your garage looks really sweet?

[1990CaddyBrougham]

HIs 79 is as much of a load as this 84. Its a De Elegance, thats the only good thing. i dont think he will part with it, but it was sitting all summer to, not driven. It was in poor shape to, not AS bad, but not great.

The red car is my dads 57 Chevy Bel Air convertible. ALl restored.

Untill tomorrow! I will post new pics tomorrow.

You seriously plan on demo derby'ing that Fleetwood coupe?!?! If so, I'll buy it beforehand. I need a secondary beater/alternate project car.
