Not the worst I've seen. If you ditch the wheels and fix the suspension to put the poor car back on the ground it could be a good start for a nice car.

What a surprise it did not sell even though the owner lowered the reserve.

Even with the supercharged LT1 and nitrous, it probably still runs mid 16s due to the rotating mass of those wheels.

I cannot even begin to comprehend why somebody would think this looks good.

it is a sad day in Cadillac history. But If you bought it (not for the Buy it Now Price), you could sell the wheels, suspension and probably get what you paid for it. And with some junk yard trips, could probably turn it into a nice runner, if fast Caddys are what you're into.

"The car is %95 from being a trophy winner at any show."

I'm not sure about a trophy winner at any show....
But certainly it would be in the running at the America's Ugliest Car show....
