The Caddy starter with a NASCAR frame to which he modded the Seville body to fit. The back license plate has a switch that drops the plate so a super bright lamp blinds following cars.
I remember seeing posters of the car hanging on the wall of Joe Factor Sales in Burbank (an aircraft salvage/ parts store where most of us bought hardware and AN hoses for our race cars)
As far as I remember that Cadillac never hit the salt flats
His son has gone on to make a reputation for himself building the ICON Broncos, Land Cruisers, retro bad a** old "heaps" with fully upgraded drivetrains
