You will never guess how extremely expensive this 1000+ hp American used car is!

American classics come in many price ranges. The price often depends on the rarity and condition of the classic car. This Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Station Wagon scores extremely well on both of those counts. This and more aspects make this event extremely expensive.
The Cadillac Eldorado was launched in 1952. Production of the last generation stopped only in 2002.
The custom Cadillac Eldorado took 15 years to build
But why are we highlighting this American now? Because it is a Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Station Wagon, of which only one example was made. The used car took 15 years to build and cost $2.3 million. An expensive joke!

The unique creation is a cross between a Cadillac Eldorado and a 1956 Chevrolet Nomad. Even more striking is the mileage. Since the car was finished, it is said to have only driven 6 miles (less than 10 kilometers).
Used car with extremely expensive paint
It makes sense that 15 years of building a car costs a lot of money. But you can’t expect the car to be that expensive to build. So the builder didn’t skimp on anything. For example, the cost of spraying alone was $300,000. For example, you can easily buy an Audi R8 V10 with the necessary options for this money.

But the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Station Wagon also has a powerful source of energy under the hood. A fat V8 with a displacement of 10.3 liters produces 1,039 hp with the help of two turbos! The price of the bike with all modifications was just under $100,000.

The Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Station Wagon has since been auctioned off. It’s unclear how much the occasion ultimately brought in.
