Bria Pruitt of Mt. Morris, IL currently does not have a hearse 

but she's seriously interested in obtaining one.  

She doesn't want to pay a lot of money for one as she is looking to restore it herself.  

She doesn't care if it runs or not, as long as the body has 

no rust on it and there isn't much body work to be done...she's good with that.  

She is interested in purchasing a Miller Meteor (Caddy or Pontiac) 

but it has to be older than 1960.  She likes the bubble look. 

Ideally, she'd like the same make, model and year as the one in Phantasm...

however she doesn't know what it is...LOL.  

Please help her find her dream car...*sniffle*...She neeeeeeeeds it!

SMooTH of Ink Addiction Tattoos in Chicago, IL has a 1989 Fleetwood Eagle.
New paint(used to be silver) few things removed because they were an eye sore 

(flag post ,eagle emblems, rims, stereo).  

He removed the emblem because the car is nowhere near done, 

(this was strictly for the summer).  N

ext summer, it'll have quite a few more bells and whistles 

(that he can't give away just yet) 

so it will no longer be an Eagle hearse. 

It'll be a Pleasure & Pain Custom hearse.

small hole in exhaust but have gotten nec material to patch, attaching a picture.

IN NC they seize vehicles from Drunk Drivers and 

yup this one was seized.  

I don't believe she was in impound for quite 4 months 

from a receipt that we found in the back from 5-7-02, 

so there isn't too much exposure damage.  

I picked it up at Auction at a remarkable price, 

and drove it off the impound lot that day.

In less than a week we have come to love our beautiful lady 

and have named her Morgana.  

Any help we can get in locating parts to restore her to her original beauty 

would be greatly appreciated as well as general knowledge about her and other hearses.  

Perhaps someone could instruct me in how to get her history?
