Re: Crazy 10.5 Outlaw Caddy XLR being built

holy criky! WOW!

Of course someone would turn a Cadillac GT roadster into a drag queen in N.A. LOL. It'll be one of a kind thats for sure. I'll take this one (and a 59') in "Pink"

That's freakin' cool! I like it a lot! Wonder if you will see that at any NHRA events (like at Route 66 Dragway, where I'll be)?

Re: Crazy 10.5 Outlaw Caddy XLR being built

Ok, I am confused. For that type of car all you would use from the donor car is the body panels. Why not just buy replacement panels from an auto body shop or something and save the money from not having to buy the actual car??

Still cool none the less.

There are still some parts other than the body panels. The frame rails and a few other select parts are needed for it to qualify for the outlaw 10.5 rules.

Good thing they put a stout enough roll cage in it cause the record stands now at 6.53 @ 231 mph
