The Comfort Of A Cadillac Meets The Mudding Ability Of A Blazer

When it comes to off-roading, relative comfort almost always takes a backseat to capability. Who concerns themselves with leather seats and sunroofs when the primary objective of the day is crawling up a rock-laden trail and back down again? The inherent discomfort of bouncing around offsets any notion of luxury right off the bat.

caddy-4x4-3Just don’t tell that to the seller of today’s Craigslist find, a Cadillac Eldorado perched on a 1985 Chevy Blazer K5 frame. This jacked-up pride-and-joy rides on a six-inch lift kit and 38-inch Super Swampers, giving this soon-to-be-classic Cadillac more road clearance than any Eldorado to come before or after.

The plush leather interior remains is remarkably good condition, and a 350 V8 fitted with a “¾ cam”, headers, and a four-barrel carburetor indicate an abundance of oomph under the hood. While it’s not going to win any beauty pageants or drag races, the seller says it’s just as capable in the mud as it is on the sand dunes. What a sight it must be to watch a big Cadillac plowing through mud bogs.

The asking price for this luxury behemoth? Just $7,000, more than fair for a mudder unlike any udder. Without the petulant Northstar V8 to worry about, this Cadillac is bound to be more reliable than its factory stock cousins, though the seller doesn’t detail whether or not all the luxury features (like power seats) still work. Still, this is a one-of-a-kind mudder that turns a redneck past time into a classy affair.

It’s a merger of two different kinds of car enthusiasts into a single vehicle, and the result is mud-caked opulence.
