$7900 for a clapped out POS! panic

Nothing on that car was done right. The only use would be a demolition derby car.

Yep, the way they cut the roof off, and probably didn't add any supports, the first hit and it would fold in half.

I've seen some very well done "flower car" Cadillacs done for funeral homes.

This is obviously not one of them.

Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.

9.92 @ 135mph with a 350 shot of nitrous and 93 octane pump. 1.43 60 ft. 3,750 lbs.

Demolition derbies specifically bar hearses, limousines, and other non-factory customizations. Take it straight to the crusher.

Because they are death traps built by hacks.

This thing is so bad, it's an obvious hack job. Compared to an 'actual' flower car, this thing is nothing more than a hearse with part of the roof whacked off. Maybe the Funeral Home did it rather than buy a new dedicated car? Who knows.

A 'real' flower car......
