Have you ever seen such a crazy Caddy? We certainly have not. Built by a couple from Harrington Park over a period of six years, this incredible Cadillac is nothing short of a feast for the eyes. And, a very expensive one. Apparently, the paint job alone cost a whopping $200,000!

Beneath the mile-long hood is a staple from General Motors' portfolio: a 454 Ci big block V8. To it, a Turbo 400 automatic transmission runs the power to the rear wheels. On the inside, the Wild Cad features perches from a Ford Thunderbird and a centre-mounted instrument cluster from a 1959 Chevrolet.

In fact, if this unique creation interests you, know that it is for sale, for the right price of course. Mr Colalillo, one of the builders of the car (the other one being his wife Catriona), has been building hot rods for 30 years seems so to be looking forward to his next project.
