1989 Cadillac Brougham......Possibly the best 86-89 Fleetwood on the planet... Last year for the classic style Fleetwood Brougham. 90-92 went to the "euro" style. Nice cars too of course, but just different. Not only is this car wearing probably the single best striking color on these cars, the best thing is the car is still virtually new, untouched 100% virgin perfect, virtually no miles, 100% original paint throughout.. This car is currently in my collection and may be the car that replaces my past 80 for a 500 CID Conversion project. So far I have not done a thing to it and am refraining for a little while.
This car is my challenge to the Cadillac world!!!! As you are reading, I am scouring the planet, as I always am, to find a nicer example than this car for my conversion project. I will only put that type of effort in to the best example the world can provide and want to make sure I have not missed something before I start. This is the main point of displaying this car. If you have a really nice Brougham and want to sell please LET ME KNOW! If you want to buy this car, you can but I am not selling cheap... Its really just to show you what I am looking to improve on. Although I have hidden in my collection a new in wrapper Hatteras Blue Brougham DeElegance I have yet to unveil on my site, this red is a better looking car as a whole. So far this is THE car I can present as possibly the best of the best after searching. A nicer example that would get my attention would be a Brougham of 80-81 or 86-89 and must have a factory Astro Roof!!!! DeElegance would be nice but not a must. The miles must be sub 5000 miles or very close and the car must wear 100% original paint. The color can be this firemist color or black for the dream car..... Others considered but not green/brown/gold/beige. Although this is a paying challenge to collector car world, I am not expecting too much better at any price topping this example in condition, color and year. I can hope, and that is what I am doing. I have bought the best of these cars for the past 10 years that come up in any venue and at top market prices but there just may be some cars I have missed or have not surfaced, thus my appeal here...... I have left out the HT4100 years (82-85) as they are just too hard to convert to a good engine. I may consider a 4100 if the car fits the bill 100% perfect, but those are really tough to deal with. If you have one of these cars and want to sell, I will buy yours at TOP market dollar and sell this one...... I have also left out the 90-92 5.7 as I would not convert one of those... They are nice as they are! However, I may buy your low mile 5.7 car too if you have a good one!
If this car gets the conversion destiny, it will get a 550HP 500CID custom built Cadillac engine, a built up TH400 and a 1979 Fleetwood Cadillac 12 bolt 3:08 rear disk Differential + suspension work and more. When done it will still look the same but actually run and handle! As you probably know, this is an Oldsmobile as it sits as all 86-89s are. The olds is a good motor compared to the 4100s, but not very powerful in the scheme of things. Many people already have seen the 500 CID I have done and understand what I am talking about here. Some others may just be wondering why would someone take a perfectly new classic Cadillac and rip the engine out of it! Take a look at THIS to begin to understand.
