Okay so.. if anyone here browses the FWD forum, you'll see my thread talking about how I was getting a '96 Cadillac Deville from my uncle. That's what my father told me, at least.
Well, it arrived to my house today. It needed to be towed because it had no battery, and needed a starter. When it got to my house and the tow truck was backing in, I saw the word "Brougham" on the rear. I almost fainted. lol
So now, as it turns out, according to the owner's manual (which is still in the car), I am now the very happy owner of a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. I am in love. However, it needs a few things:
1. It has no battery. That's not a problem though, as I can get one for it next week.
2. It supposedly needs a starter. There is a new one in the front seat.
3. I am told it MAY need a head job. How much is this supposed to cost? Supposedly roughly $1700. How accurate is that? I was also told it would almost be cheaper to put a new motor in it than to do the heads, but I don't know about that either.
Now as for what I want to do to the car...
So far the only thing I can think of is replacing the radio with a touch screen unit sometime in the future. Can it be done without messing up any electricals?
Any input is appreciated.
