So I found a nice '87 fleetwood for sale that I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase for a daily for the next little while. I talked to the guy (briefly while he was at work)today and he said it's air-cared, runs great, and everything is good. From what I could tell it was in great shape. I always said I wasn't going to buy another 80's caddy unless it was another coupe but the price seems right and I dunno, something about this one kinda gave me a stiffy. Dude said (and the emblem on the back also indicated) that it has a 5.0 litre engine. Until now I was under the impression that these '80s lacs only came with the 368 or the dreaded 4100. 5.0 seems like a happy medium and I'd probably rather have the 5.0 than either of the other ones.
Does anyone know anything about this 5.0 litre? Is it just a gmc 305 or 307 or something different? Are they well-known for any problems they might have? anything in particular I should ask about the car? Also it's got one of those useless 5-digit odometers which says 32000km but he says it's probably gone around at least once which I do not doubt. Is there any way to find out the actual mileage? Any help will be much appreciated...
