Sylvester Stallone has decided to sell one of the many vehicles in his collection, though fans of the rugged Hollywood leading man may be surprised to learn it isn't some muscle car or hot rod. Stallone has often been sighted in more performance-oriented vehicles, and maybe he just prefers driving himself, because he's now listed for sale an extremely opulent and luxurious custom Cadillac Escalade ESV that he personally had transformed into a stretch limo by Becker Automotive Designs.
Not A Rocky Road
Nobody would ever accuse the Cadillac Escalade of being small, but this massive stretch version would dwarf a stock Escalade even more than Ivan Drago dwarfed Rocky Balboa. The entire chassis has been extended 20 inches, while larger rear doors were installed to make entry and exit into the borderline obscenely fancy interior easier.
Truly Untouchable
Stallone may not have opted for the armor plating that Becker Automotive Design offers on others of its wildly expensive products, but this Escalade does offer military-spec onboard connectivity for internet access, plus a 43-inch smart TV and a 12-inch LCD TV for rear-facing passengers. A digital sound system with center channel and a custom-tuned audio processor makes can probably help Stallone get amped up before filming big action scenes—by blasting "Eye of the Tiger" at full volume, presumably.
If You Have To Ask
Surprisingly, rather than keeping the price available upon request, Becker has revealed the ask of $350,000 for this setup, which has only been driven a total of 1,000 miles. But that doesn't mean something's wrong with it; in a statement, Stallone himself said, "I ordered my Becker ESV for a specific purpose, however my requirement for it has recently changed and I no longer have a need for this beautiful vehicle. I enjoyed personally designing the luxurious interior with Howard Becker. The on-board electronics and ride quality are second to none. I hope the new owner gets years of fulfilling use from this sensationally appointed Becker Cadillac ESV."
