Default 1969 Eldorado

I just saw this car on eBay for the first time and I think it's amazing. It's like a muscle car, but with all the luxury of a Caddy.

So my question...

How are these cars as far as performance? I haven't done any research yet, I've just seen the car's looks.

I see that this car has a 472ci engine and 375hp. Holy Christ.

In addition to my first question, how much money would it take to convert one of these to RWD?

Old Caddy's aren't performance cars. Despite the FWD, they are fast. But, they weigh a ton and have enough body roll to make you sea sick.
