Prior to 1972 US auto manufacturers advertised Brake/SAE Gross Hp, in 1972 they changed to SAE Net Hp ratings.

Mark Go get it..do not hesitate but IMO get white hubcaps or put some 58 Caddie hubcaps if you wanna go pimping... no need to get big wheels with a 8.2 Eldo Rag.
My Favourite Caddy of them all.Last edited by MikeyFIN; 12-27-2009 at 08:05 AM.
Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.

10-12 years ago I worked at an independent shop specializing in Rolls Royce's we had more than few "eccentric" owners. One had a '71 or '72 Eldo ragtop. He found a company called Cadillac Motor Development, which is what became cad500parts.com I think.
He bought a cam kit, intake, and carb rebuild kit. We put it all on his car for him, and put a basic shift kit in the trans. That thing would haul Azz!!! It was a lot of fun to drive.
He actually did the build because he found a Amphicar in Arizona he wanted to buy. So he built the Caddy up to be his tow vehicle. He drove it to Arizona, bought a flatbed trailer and the Amphicar and towed it back.2005 Formula 330ss

Hell those prices are over the double than overhere for almost identical cars...
For starters project eldos ( some trim parts missing little or no rust to speak of needs a soft top) start at 6000 bucks in running condition
There´s a black I seriously consider but if it´s not black originally I´m not that much interested.
Colours that top my list for Eldos are White Gold and Black, in fact white and black seems to follow many my favourite stuff.Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle.

My old man did some towing back in the days with some Cadi's he used to have. Although I don't remember taking the boats out of the ramps with them. I do remember remember he would have the boat lifted off the trailer on straps and into the water and out of the water and back onto the trailer. I really love the late 70's early 80's.

Cadillac did not make a real one since 78 in my opinion, I grew up with about any caddy from 53-78, thats all dad would drive, once they got small he wanted nothing to do with them..
I love the 75-76 Eldo verts! and 500CI!35 Cigarette Mistress

12-29-2009 05:35 PMI've had a '78, '81, three '84 coupes, and a '70 deville convertible, as well as another 3-4 parts cars including a '90 fleetwood. Anytghing eith a 4100 is junk the 368 ci came in 80 and 81 I believe and in '81 had the 8-6-4, if you disconnected it though they were good engines, any late '70's to early '80's should be very cheap. My favorite car that was a blast was a 1978 Buick electra, had two, one had a worked 403 olds and was a blast. but the 60's to 1970 are the best and i sold my '70 convertible for 13k, so you can still get them reasonably..... dunno how to post pics or i would
