Back in the early 60s, a friend bought a new Thunderbird in Texas. The rules of the road out in West Texas didn't include citations for an open container, so you could driver around in the car with an open 5th in vehicle. There were laws against driving under the influence, but usually, they would just give you a ride home, or leave you in the desert to die depending upon what nationality you were.
OK, so what my friend did was fill the windshield washer unit full of whiskey, and ran the line from the tank inside the car so they could use the windscreen fluid pump to make a cocktail while driving at high speed. I'm not recommending this additional equipment be installed on a C900, but you should test the various rubber components with some alcohol to make sure they don't melt.
I can tell you from experience that the modern fuels will attack the early 80s type fuel pump components in the tank. The later the model, the more likely it will be that the rubber will sustain immersion in the moonshine.
Bigger injectors and a fuel chip will be needed as the alcohol has a lower heat content than gasoline.
If you use this board search function typing in just "E85", and look several years ago, there are posts from a fellow in Canada that equipped his car with injectors, etc using E85.
