| | | 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.
