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...



This was the bullet I had put together for her...






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...

I just built a new gauge cluster for it not pictured yet...

 

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.

 

It's okay for a sleeper to be loud. Keep the rubber side down.

 

Nice... Caprices are my LOVES only thing that comes close to them are Montes I have a 72 i own now



Unfortunately I dnt have the money or knw how to fix it so im tryna sell it and get a monte and then re try later with another one
