I think the Fleetwood may get a little lost with the DeVille in this vintage. Similar appearance from 100 feet. But the d-body is as hot-rodable as anything. Looks old school from the rear but dual airbags, abs, traction control, power everything, auto climate, keyless entry, etc. Already has an 8.5" diff. 2.93 would work well with an LS turbo and a bit of a converter.

Put my SS wheels and suspension stuff on it. Steering box.

High miles (future swap?), but clean. Interior is the wildcard. I could ask...
I believe the trans was replaced at some point before I bought it, drivers seat is a little rough by where the side controls are but otherwise the interior is good. Can't get pics til Sunday, but you're welcome to come see it Sunday.

The blacked out chrome on the top one looks damn good.

It's clean but molested. And too expensive.

I just noticed the hood ornament delete. He added a big wreath/crest to the grill. Different wheel caps (flush style, probably with a Caddy logo). Very cool. I want all that. Fleetwood Touring Sedan (FTS), for sure.

I missed the most obvious of all: all of the polished stainless on the lower body is now body color. The chrome bumpers, body color. I think that looks awesome.
