I posted my '76 Cadillac Limousine earlier in this thread.
Now, here is my '69 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Triple black, about 98,000 miles, 133" wheelbase, 228.5" overall length, 5,060 lbs (I had it weighed). Plush leather interior, real wood trim (Rosewood), big high-compression 472-cu-in engine. The rated (gross) torque was an incredible 525 lbs-ft... more than the Mopar 426-Hemi, 427 and 454 Chevy, 427 Ford, 460 Lincoln, 455 Buick, etc.
If it gave 25 or 30 mpg, I would probably drive it every day! (It gets 9-13 mpg.)
My current toy. 1992 Mazda Miata. Slammed on K-sport coilovers, and some heavy wheels (15x8, 0 offset)
(Not me. This was just before I bought it off my friend, who's driving. I took the picture, though.)
Mechanically, it's mostly stock. Just rolled over 198,000 miles a few days ago, on it's 1.6L 4-banger. I just swapped the rear (open) differential for a Torsen LSD yesterday -- big difference! And, I've got a 1.8L from a 2nd gen Miata on a stand. Going for built internals, and a supercharger install. Mating that to a 6 speed gearbox from a special edition 2nd gen. Once that's in, I'll be doing a full cage on the inside, bucket seats, and harnesses.
