My caprice...
I picked up this caprice about two years ago after I totaled my 04 Superchaged/ Nitrous SS. The car was owned by my gramps who owns a small local dealership since it was almost new. He had the car at his home in Florida for a few years until he moved it up here (MA) to put in storage around 91. I grew up around this car and always wanted it. I finally convinced him to sell it to me, and I practically stole it at 600.00.
At the time the car was a 229 v6 with 42k miles. It was absolutely mint and didnt have a spec of rust on it. I intermediately drove her into the garage and put her under the knife... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...hes/brando.jpg This was the bullet I had put together for her... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/069b52e6.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/0eca5875.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/174c2e88.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...hes/brando.jpg The setup has changed a little since I first built her two years ago, but the internals are still the same, It just has a different intake, carb and distributor now. The car also has a fully built TH350 trans I put together with a reverse patteren manual valve body and a trans brake for the day I put some tires on her :) here are most of the pics/ video info if you care to read some more... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3869449 I just built a new gauge cluster for it not pictured yet... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0824-00032.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...0824-00031.jpg |
Is she going to be a "sleeper?"

SolaraSlayer- Absolutely, thats why I built her :)
She runs and drives....quite well actually. I am currently daily driving her while my girl has the newer monte. Its a LOUD car though lol. I have full long tube headers, 3" custom y into a 4" single with one magnaflow muffler. Thats the only thing that gives the sleeper aspect away! |
You outta run a tamer exhaust with cutouts so you can really fool them on the streets.
