The 1973 race is considered by many to be one of the ultimate low points in the event’s nearly 100 year history thanks to a number of heartbreaking spectator and driver tragedies leading up to and during the event, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the pure awesomeness of this boss hoss droptop. Just 516 special edition Eldorados were sent to dealers to commemorate the race – plus another 50 or so were used in Indy 500 Festival events. The actual pace car driven by Jim Rathmann (and a backup car) was modified with a less-than-emissions-friendly 500 cubic inch V8 said to crank out 500 horsepower (versus a smog strangled 230 for the stock cars). The car currently offered on eBay is one of the replicas, likely just one of 50 still around according to the listing. Nearly perfect to our discerning eyes, this recently restored one looks ripe for cruising down boulevards scaring Prius drivers. At about 227 inches in overall length, the Eldorado pretty much represents the height of Detroit girth. You could park two first-gen smart ForTwos and a Lazy Boy loaded with tall boys in the same size parking space. We know what we’d rather have. Just thinking about navigating this boat on the lightly banked Indianapolis Motor Speedway has us reaching for the Dramamine.
