looks good,i bought a 94 Deville when i got back in the states and love it. but i got the 4.9L V8 in mine before the northstar engine. on the caddy forums they bash the heck out of the early northstars because they break a lot. I am sure that they are better now after 15 years. i want to do things to my caddy but the capri is first. maybe once the wife can drive the caddy and works i will do more to it. it is basically her car/family wagon

Hey Anthony! They're a nice ride and quite a performance vehicle. My lady friend had one hort term from her brothers estate and we drove it on occasion to keep the battery charged and as a different drive from her Benz.  Gus

o ya. it is great design. it has luxury styling yet the lines are f1 style with a younger look. i think they got the right idea when making old look new again.

Ok, just did next change to her. She is now 20% tinted with a 5% front strip over the already pretinted window dye. No one is gonna be able to see in easily on this bad boy. For thoe curious, I can still see out the back at night. I also have backup sensors so I can let them do the work too.  ;)
