Look how clean the inside is

Look how clean the inside is

Underappreciated survivor ! Rides like a boat I bet!
Sure is and sure does! I love these old caddies man. This is like my fourth one. I had a 99. I had a 93. I had a 92 and now I got a 90. Can't get enough of these old caddies bro. They're so good
Good in what ways? Genuinely interested.
The styling fucks hard which I really appreciate. They're also really big on the inside, everyone has leg room. The bench seat means I can put an arm around the ol' lady while we cruise down to the malt shop on the pillowy suspension. They're not super rare yet, which means I can get this example for $3000, but they're not super common either so it really turns heads. It will never track me because it can't, idk if you remember 90s technology but the 5g enabled surveillance state was science fiction back then. Most importantly, driving it makes you feel like you have two dicks (even if you start with no dicks at all).
But how will all the data mongers track your every movement, sound, weight, and gender?!?!
Won’t anybody think of the poor data mongers?!!
Not to worry, I'm also driving a modern f150 for work
Oh man, my grandparents had a maroon/maroon interior ("leather") of this car and I've had dreams of discovering that I somehow own it.
When I was like 17 my van was out of service for a few weeks and my grandparents lent me this car for a week when they were out of town. I listed exclusively to the hip hop station that week and forgot to reset the dial before giving it back to them. My grandfather had questions about what I'd done lol
We had one of these. Get rid of the aluminum block engine, whatever that is, and put in an LS or something better. Really makes it a different car.
Velour seats or vinyl ?
That's what always makes it or breaks it for me.
Damn, I miss velour car seats.
The dash is vinyl but the seats are actually leather you can tell
That's a decent compromise. Vinyl is the worst in the summer. Especially with shorts on.
Why does that thing remind me of the Zimmer Quicksilver? I guess the body lines are similar.
Nice car. Both I mean.
Since it's a project not just a car, what kind of work are you planning to do on it?
Alright so it's actually a little too clean which sucks. But the vinyl armrests are cracked so I have to fix that, the leather is old and discolored so I'm re-dying it. Then I have to do the headliner, and while it's torn apart for that I'm doing a sound system. Eventually I'm going to replace the carpets but that's $$$. Mechanically it's pretty clean, I replaced the alternator and I'm thinking about a 75 shot of dry nitrous for highway passes but that's a tough sell to the wife. It's a resto-mod, I almost wish it wasn't so crisp so I'd have an excuse to paint it but that's a first world problem for sure. Maybe I'll bag it? Maybe a little tasteful underglow?
Check the break lines and the power steering cooler loop. That is what killed mine. Good luck!
I’ve always loved older cars, especially that style, and would love to have a project car. Unfortunately I know nothing about cars except how to drive them. My buddy’s a mechanic so I could always ask him for help I suppose but I don’t think it’s a good idea to get started on a project car if you’re a complete novice.
cars are kinda hard to get into nowadays. New ones aren't fixable like old ones are.
If you have the spare dough for an old 90's (maybe early 00's), that's probably your best way to learn.
Also very important for me. Older cars had purchasable repair manuals. Big fat book with diagnostic steps for every system on the car. That book for my old car is the bible.
You're gonna lift it and put on a set of 24s with spinning rims, right?
I had chrome dubs on my 99 check it out. Unfortunately the Midwest potholes are not good for those skinny ass rubber band tires so I broke two of them after like 6 months and decided I would never run skinny little tires again 😂

Hell yeah, brother
That's sick as hell
Edit: those dice complete the look
with a lucky charms or count chocula airbrush or wrap
Looks beautiful I have a question I haven't thought to research yet but what work would be involved to retrofit electric in a car like this or is it even feasible given th weight of these old cars?
I think there are guys working on an electric crate motor, I reckon I could jam a bunch of batteries in the trunk but then where would my 4x15s go
Don’t let c/fuckcars see this, you’re basically the antichrist.
That's exactly my first car, but mine was grey.
