I thought it might need air suspension and a really loud stereo, it don't really have enough seat belts in for me though, unless its stays really cheap I'm not bidding, I do like its looks though, has mucho potential I feel. It should have 6 seatbelts actually... that's a 6 passenger car.

That's the beauty of bench seats... those full size cars were all 6 passenger jobs, 3 in the front and 3 in the back. Lap belt only for the front center passenger tho.

Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

Its up to you AK, you know what your talking about when it comes to these yanks so you don't really need to ask the forum. If its what you want and can afford it then go for it!
Good luck!

I know the answer is "no" but I thought I'd pop up my thinking here for entertainment's sake.
Bill - I'm not really into wagons - but OMG, are those the Electra T-Type factory mags its rolling on? AWZUMZ. Want a set.
Akku really wants a '74 Electra or LeSabre (was there a Centurion for '74?) - just like the one they bury Joe Pesci in the desert in Good Fellas. 455 yo!
And yeah, the LeS is a B body but the frame is about the same. The Caddy motor will slip in nicely.

yes, yes it was. Some movie with gangsters, Joe Pesci and people getting buried in the desert. Or an corn field as I recall. Meh, it was early. Nice Pontiac in Goodfellas as I recall.

Wouldn't a turbocharged 3.8 out of a GN also bolt right in there?

Ahh, but think of the sleeper you can make with one of those! I'm hunting for a Fleetwood or DeVille like yours... the idea is to stuff a monster engine in it, keep it quiet, and scare people.
I saw one.. 95 Fleetwood, supercharged built up LT1 crate motor, super quiet exhaust, bilsteins, , Caprice 9C1 Sway Bars, Goodyear Pursuit whitewalls.. looked stock, went like hell.
BTW, when you get the Caddy finished, you need to grab a set of Cop car tires for it.. they come in whitewalls too. 235-70VR15s, reinforced with Kevlar belts. Hee hee...
