Yes, you can. The interchange on these cars is remarkable. My '88 9C1 has an '85 Impala 9C1 passenger fender (if you look close enough, you can see 'POLICE' outlined in it), an '81 Impala driver fender and hood, an '87 Caprice header panel and a '84 Caprice front bumper. The driver rear door is also off of an '81 Impala, though not the same car as the hood and driver fender.

You see, back in around 3/10/2003 I T-boned a Honda Accord with an impact speed of 35MPH. I had to replace these above parts (except for the passenger fender, that one was later replaced sheerly for aesthetic reasons) in order to fix the cosmetic damage my car incurred in that collision. Most of the damage occured once the now airborne Honda landed on my hood. Mostly, my car looked like it got a black eye (the driver headlamp was smashed - you would not believe how much glass debris gets knocked across 3 lanes of traffic, for a distance of 100 yards, from that one headlamp!), with a little wrinkling of the fender and a dish in the hood, along with a broken header panel (where the pushbumper went through, once detached from my bumper), and a sardine-can-peel effect on the front bumper where the pushbumper tore away from it. Cost me a total of around $275 to repair.

That's not all as for interchangeability, however. The entire suspension on the car, including the rear axle, front spindles and rotors, is from a '94 Caprice 9C1, and it directly bolted in.
