Free to a good home, a 1982 Cadilac Fleetwood Brougham 4100. It belongs to an old lady. Not run in two years cos the Brakes seized on. A bit mouldy in places inside, a bit scabby outside but otherwise complete, - Anyone fancy a go at this?

The old lady owner just wants it to go to a good home (it was her deceased husbands car). If it's restored she'd like a picture or two, if not then thats that.

Peak disrict collection point.

E mail me if you're interested

Not much chance of that I suppose hehe



Here's an idea.



Why don't we have it, the midlands PH'ers, we could keep it at the pub car park and work on it every other Tuesday.

Eh! Not such a bad idea - not 'arf! I'd be happy to wash and wax.



We could take it in turns to take the old gal out (the Caddy that is) and blow some of those cobwebs away. Hopefully Boosted will be along in a minute with some ideas about how to boost its somewhat sober power rating - maybe put a big LS7 engine in it (if it would fit).

I'm mucho impressed Emma. All this techie stuff and big numbers are making a lasting impression on you! A true hardcore PH'er!



If there was a free garage/barn we could fettle it as a PH massive but it would take ages as that's what happens when many are involved. Anybody got a farm?



Boosted.

The Old 350 V8 fits, so the SBC and therefore LS series should fit OK.....

Cadillac invented the V layout concept IIRC ( a scot working for Cadillac in 1916???)
