This edition of VAR centers on a classic Detroit ride: the "66 cadillac Fleetwood

The classic auto show is in AC this weekend and some of the rides parked at Ballys.

One made it into my hands:D

Teal green inside and out.

Very little body damage in the way of scratches and dents; the owner knows how to take care of this steel. From my ameteur eye, the car is not restored but very wel maintained in original condition.

Vintage big-block pushrod iron had the classic 60s burble in the exhaust, and the auto tranny was smooth as silk.

LOTS of body roll, as half a century of ageing caused suspension components to go far beyond “loosened up”.:wink:

Power everything: brakes, steering, windows.

I saw no switch for cruise control…but DID find a contol for twilight sentinel: I thought that wasnt invented till the 80s!

Cool ride, two door or four?
Did all the options work?
How about tilt wheel?
Gangster sidewalls or plain?
Gimme some details man!

3

Like the link shows, four doors…but no vynil top.
429 cube pushrod v8 and 3 sp turbo-hydramatic 400.
if the wheel tilts, I dunno, I leave the steering wheel, seat and radio like I find it
(unless I’m driving with my knees on the dashboard cuz the owner’s short or something;))
No aftermarket bling…just showroom stock.

You could put alot of dead bodies in that trunk!

A lot more. Surely it’s had some already. :wink:
