I've always been curious about the 500 ci'ers. There's a El Cadmino for sale
here in town, been for sale for at least a year and a half, supposedly has a
500ci motor in it.

Someone took a large '70s Caddy, chopped the rear seat (and trunk) out of
it, and grafted on a pseudo truck bed. Ugggg-leeee. Then they went in with a
red velour interior (car is white) and made it a pimpin' ride. Been asking
$1k for the car for 18 months... I don't think it's even worth that.

IIRC it's even got a set of longhorns for the front nose (this is West
Texas, Cattle Country, after all).

I don't know if it'd have the fuel injection or not, don't know what year it
is.

It really is a piece of automotive "art" (well, art spelled "c-r-a-p"). Far
too much cracked bondo. ;)
