The 1970 Cadillac Eldorado marked the end of perhaps the most storied periods in the history of GM. The innovative designs and unrestrained power of the 60's would grind to a halt as the bloated excess of the late mid to late 70's and the suffocating burdens of pollution control choked the life out of Detroit's most athletic and design-forward cars of that era.

Behind its devilishly good looks, the 1970 Eldorado houses a high-compression 400 horse power engine generated a heart-stopping 550 foot pounds of torque that will catapult this 4,630 pound bad-boy-in-a-tuxedo from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds.

This massively powerful V8 produced an astounding 400 hp @ 4,400 rpm packing the prolific punch with 746 Nm of peak torque @ 3,000 rpm. The engine was equipped with a Rochester 4MV 4-bbl down-draft Quadrajet carburetor with equalized manifold, mechanical fuel pump, dry-type air filter, improved automatic choke, and a controlled combustion system to reduce exhaust hydrocarbons. This formidable V8 sprinted to a top speed of 126 mph. It did the 1/4 mile @ 89 mph in 15.6 seconds. The engine was mated to GM's Turbo Hydra-Matic...
