Default Spy Shot: Future Cadillac Eldorado!

Check out this dope Eldorado motorhome I spotted at the local mall. It was heavily disguised, but clearly had the styling cues of the Cadillac Eldorado.

That engine is sooo big they had to build a town just to produce it.

Wow, didn't realise it was a modifed. I wonder what they had to do to the frame? Nice work.

Sorry, for the post before I thought you were reffering to a whatif on a new Escalade, I guess I only saw that way since I came from seeing another post which used the pictures I posted above for the same exact subject.

My roommate has a 1970 Cadillac ElDorado convertible. One of like 200 ever built. He just got it as a gift from his grandpa, it used to be a showcar and his grandpa is the original owner.

So he asked me, "What all can we do to soup this thing up?"

And I'm like, "Well we could probably put a 454 in there and have a beast."

So he says, "Why would I do that when I already have a 512?"

OH DEAR GOD.

I had never even heard of this engine, it's a freaking 8.2-liter V8. WTF. Thing is freaking awesome. It's like 215hp and 450tq or something ridiculous like that. Probably only revs to like 4K. What a beast.

Nope, the 512 was the top of the line Caddy engine... If you ran it a long time on the open road, you knew not to shut it off when you gassed up, it would vapor lock and you'd be stuck for about a half hour til that monster cooled....
