Sketchiest Fleetwood with 44k ever.

1994 cadi fleetwood - $4500 (charlotte nc)
44000 original miles this car was owned by an old lady in Miami and never driven it out of Dade Country. A friend pick it up for me in Melbourne Fla. and the drove it up to me in NC .It had 36000 miles on it. It has cold air new tires 95 % new shocks, Mobile 1 through the whole drive train .dash is perfect and head liner. new front window motors replace. Car still can bur rubber
drive seat is a little worm backseat like new. The car is great shape considering it age I just don't need 3 car for two people.
The pictures and the story do not match. A Carfax would probably go a long way here. It COULD be original but it sure seems like it has 150k to me. For that matter, I've seen Fleetwoods with 150k that were in better overall original condition.

So the STS battery was still charging this morning and I decided to do something totally novel: drive the Caprice to work, I think for the first time since I bought the STS back in May. How was it? Fine. Totally fine and normal. The same. There's something endearing for certain about a car that's always there for you.

I did spend some time yesterday trying to clean out the HVAC fan and stuff. I had modest results I think. I didn't really see much nest on the air side of the system though there was nest on the motor side of the housing. I did a couple of different things to attempt to clean crap out of there, namely away from the evaporator which is where I perceive a blockage.

1) Shove the vacuum hose up in there and as far inside as I could. I don't know how much this did. In the past I've found a LOT more.

2) Blow air from my air compressor up inside and then vacuum again to try disloging stuff. I don't know if this did much - a little I think.

3) This was crafty. I was mad so I disconnected the shop vac hose. Then I got out the leaf blower. That's right. I had Ian hold the hose up to the end of the leaf blower, then I started it and set the throttle wide open with the lever. Inside the car I blew both into the vents (closing the others) and also from the fan side. This didn't do much either as far as I could tell.

The result is, I THINK, at least restored airflow to what it was, which was never great. I guess I can't ask for much more.

I'm not sure why the seller needed to post a close-up of it...

He wants only NRA-supporting buyers?

Price drop on aisle V. $13k now. This would be a great less than daily driver imo.

Never seen a continental kit on one of these. It's bad.
