Boyd Cadzilla 2008

Tsukishima · May 7, 2015

The story of why I want this in the game is because I was replaying some Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and I finally got to rank 8 again, thus I unlocked a car named "Castro Toro", a 'true piece of art' I'd say. It looked so good that I needed, really needed to have it in other games, but as I know it's not possible, all I could hope for was the real life car it most resembled, and unfortunately there weren't any production vehicles...

But fortunately I remembered I had an IRL friend who always said he wanted a car named "Cadzilla" in his dream car list, so I thought 'yea, that car looked good, I'll compare both cars'. To my surprise it looked as good as the fictional car and I came to understand my friends reason for liking it. I searched for a lot of terms and didn't find anything, so here it is.

Boyd Cadzilla '08

The Cadzilla (sometimes written as "Cadzzilla") is a hot rod car built by custom car builder and legend Boyd Coddington and designed by Larry Ericson. This amazing and yet classic car is based on a 1948 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette and was built for rocker Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. The name actually consists of 3 words: Cadillac, ZZ Top and Godzilla. Even the license plate says “I8TOKYO” [“I ate Tokyo” – a reference to famous Godzilla movie].

I was unfortunately unable to find any specs on the car, any help with that would be appreciated, thank you.

I really wish I could give more information about the car itself too...

Here's another ZZ Top's hot rod:

No need for information, it looks so mean. Great find.

I like the simplicity of the style, and the rear lights look great.

This hot rod is also know as “The Eliminator” in ZZ Top videos.

...........Nope.

...........Nope.

Ah well, at least you gave me an idea for a new car to post, which interestingly reminds me of another Motorstorm car...

They don't resemble each other that much IMO...

Yes yes, I know you never said they did, but hey, it's good to see it made you remember of the Cadzilla, it's a very cool car. 👍

TheMuscleman · May 9, 2015

Yes! We need more cars like this in the game.

Yea, they don't that much. But it reminded me of the other car because they're both hot rods of similar style.

Very nice picture you got there, are you also another Motorstormer who got to Rank 8?

Rank 8 is not hard to get on but also not easy. Yes, I'm also another player who got there, sadly I never got all of the gold medals...

The87Dodge · May 10, 2015

Cool car, but I'm not a big fan of the name "Cadzilla".

Me neither but it's still a great car.

I managed to get all of them on my first playthrough of the game, of course I had a hard time on some races, that AI is unforgivable, there were races were I actually tied 1st place with them.

I'm not having any hard times on my current playthrough though, that just shows how I've developed my skills.

MadEpicBadger · May 11, 2015

So eh... you got to the bike vs monstertrucks yet? :banghead:

And this thread has kinda turned into a 50/50 split talk of motorstorm and the actual car :lol:

The one at Razorback? Lol, yes. The first time I went through that it was hell, but on my current playthrough it wasn't too much of a challenge for me.

It's thanks to Motorstorm that I remembered of the Cadzilla.

I like the look of this car & the boot is huge!! It must have good luggage space in the back. I definetley want to see this car in Gran Turismo.
