Re: 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood: good idea for restoration?

The OP had an interesting question, though: how much DOES it typically cost to newly upholster the interior of a large sedan like this with new leather, new stuffing in the seats, etc?

It has been several years ago, but I know someone who paid about $5,000.00 to have their old Mercedes reupholstered in leather.

I have a restored fleetwood and what most of the others say is true - dont get it for the resale - you wont get much for it - if you want it for its smooth ride then thats fine

ive put about ten grand into mine over the past years and i probably would only get around three or four for it maybe

a 1979 fleetwood is in the guinness book of world records as having the most mileage with no overhaul so its a pretty good motor

i saw a website where a guy turned his 79 into a drag racer - it was interesting

good luck
