No. And I don't think Billy G ever sold/gave away CadZZilla either.

Nope. It had a Caddy engine, a moon tank up front, in the grill, and I believe it was a hardtop, not a sedan.
There was a body guy in Georgia, or somewherenear, who fell in love with Cadzilla. he wound up building one or 2 replicas. I saw the first on in Sledscene East. It looked very close, but didn't quite have the proportions, or grace of the original. The hardtop could be it, or perhaps using a Ford F100 windsheild, instead of a custom made one may have contributed. The original also had the stock Caddy instrument cluster, all restored.
Anyway, this is probably the Georgia guy's car. I think he sold one, or maybe both that he did.

If I am not mistaken, that car was built here in the Flint area. It was done in the early 90's, by a guy named Dave Auten. Just some useless info for y'all. -Joe

Most of the flip front end is 55 Chevy fiberglass and it's front wheel drive to boot. They don't mention that in the description.

I hope nobody on here owns that, cuz I've seen the car close up, it would make a good driver... But not for anybody who likes it here on the HAMB.
