@uniqueauto6218 nope I'm not mistaken. I own a 78 Cadillac and my mom owned a 79 Cadillac. This car has the upper trim of a 78. Google 79 Cadillac and you'll see the difference between 78 and 79.
No no don’t cut the springs. All it needs is an old Craftsman toolbox loaded with tools. That’s what I did with mine. The toolbox fits perfectly in the nose between the shock towers. Also helps in weight distribution.
These are wonderful cars, but fragile at this age. of the 74/75/76, the 75 is the one to avoid due to the pollution equipment add-ons- which they had redesigned for 76.
Would love to come test drive! Do you know if the Big 3 have been taken care of? Subframe, VANOS, & rod bearings? I know it's low mileage, but with as many owners as it's had, I'm curious.
Excellent specimen. I had an '86 Grand Marquis LS, fully loaded with leather. It was a great car, although in not quite as nice condition as yours. Ford did a much better job with these than GM did with the Caprice/LeSabre/Delta line, although the Buick Electra and Olds 98 were still superior, especially when it came to the interior and rear legroom.
I have 16,000 on my 84 Thunderbird. Never driven in the rain or snow. 5.0 digital dash, loaded. Power door locks, power antenna, power windows, power mirrors. I like the turbine wheels. Enjoy
looks are very deceiving....the public oooh and ahhh' d when it first came out.... it so so marred by being a parts bin special of sorts, patched together from the likes of the chevy citation and chevette and pontiac phoenix. To save money, the entire front end of a citation front wheel drive was tucked up under the rear of a fiero and the steering tie rods were simply attached to fixed mounts on the engine cradle so the rear wheels wouldnt turn! be safe
