Calling All Caprice owners.

Rich · 04-02-2002, 11:41 AM

I wanted to see how many fellow AF'ers own, or have owned a Caprice. Post a pic of your ride if you have one. I will be posting pics of mine soon.

Also, if anyone needs info on caprices, 90-93. I may be able to help, as I own the shop manuals for those years.

Id love to chat with some other owners of these great cars. Hope to see some posts in here

btw, a BIG thanks to Igor for adding this forum. Thanks

Wow they actually made a Caprice board. Thats good.

Hopefully I will get some pictures of my Caprice on here soon. But mine is basicly stock except for a CD player and some nice looking replacement hub caps.

I've had 2 Caprices. My first car was a '78 Caprice, underpowered 305 and high-way gears. A few years later I owned a '77, blew the diffy out of that one

Hey, ghost-ss I recognize you from gmforums.com

Im rich91 on those boards, although I rarely post there, I mostly only read. Nice to see another face over here

BTW, I love your car, I wish I had the time and money to fix mine up like that.

Thanks Rich, I recognize your GM Forum username! And thanks for the compliments!

"Ghost" was already taken, so I had to settle for "Ghost-SS." I'm "ghost" in all the other forums though {ISSCA, NAISSO, EFI-STREET, CamroZ28, LT1 TECH, etc.}.

I've had the car since '97 and did a bunch of mods initially, but the engine swap, trans buildup, rear end work and headers didn't happen until I got divorced.

Ever heard the phrase, "I once was where you are now and where I am you soon shall be" ?

The nice thing about doing mods slowly is that it really give you a chance to plan it out. How will this mod work with the others? What's holding my car back after this next mod?

It's all part of the modding fun.

I'm not sure if I'm in a right place so...
I need a power window regulators for my 1992 Caprice 9C1
(former Fire Cheef Car). Body shop persone estimated $260
for the assembly for the driver side widow, just for the parts.
I actualy don't need the whole assembly, just a little plastic
slider.
Any input would be helpfull.

Thanks.

All the info you need, including where to get the plastic slider, is right here:

No problem.

If it's Caprice/Impala SS related, I've probably done it, or know where to find the info. Just let me know, I'm happy to help.

You can also email me directly (sometimes it takes a while before I get around to this forum):

Thanks man, reading a post like yours makes me feel good about the choices I've made and all the work I've done.

I think they're so badass because they're long and wide, and when lowered it just makes them look longer and wider. Plus you know it's got V8 power under the HUGE hood. People don't generally know they have LT1's in there, they just know the cops used to drive 'em therefore they have to be fast.

From the looks of your sig info, you don't have anything to sneeze at yourself.

More power & less weight than my Caprice, I think we both know who'd win that race.

Yeah... the Nova is .. how you say.. A kick in the PANTS!
I havent had it at the track yet, I dont wanna show my face in a car thats still primered! haha plus she needs a bit of body work to be done, and interior work.

But my daily driver, a '86 Chevy Blazer K5 (fullsize, not any of that S-10 blazer crap that confuses so many people) Shes a bit of a slug when it comes to 'racing'. Of course you dont race a vehicle that weighs 5200lbs... But you can just... 'merge' into traffic when ever you feel like, what they gonna do? Yell at you? Go ahead. Yell at me. Boo whoo! Plus its a tank, so then again what are they gonna do? hahaha I love my truck, but its a gas hog. And trying to restore the Nova on a limited budget i need something a bit more economical. True the Caprices have big engines and the such, but they're alot more economical than my behemoth.

I found a '94 Caprice for sale $4500, its an ex-cop car with rebuilt (almost) everything, plus it has a pioneer stereo system and some other randoms im gonna try to check it out. Its a bit pricey, but its got some cool goodies. ($4500 is like, a jillion dollars to me hahaha)
