Cool My 1989 Caprice Brougham [56k warning]

Well, here it is. I paid $600 for it inspected. It has 130,000 miles and has been maintained VERY well. Within the last 20,000 miles the brake pads & rotors have been replaced, the A/C compressor was replaced, the alternator was replaced, all the plugs/wires/rotor were replaced, the radiator is new, and the tires are new I added an open-element air-filter (not pictured) and changed out the intrument panel lights in favor of blue leds.










Well, there it is. It drives very well & even has enough power to smoke the rear wheels.

Wow, that is a good looking car for the price you got it for. That,s a keeper, the first model with fuel injection and the body looks great with no rust.

Re: My 1989 Caprice Brougham [56k warning]

Oh a 305.... my bad. My car's got a 305, but it has different valve covers. I forgot though that in 87 they changed the bolt pattern on the heads on all of the small block Chevys.

Speaking of smokin' the tires The only time I can ever do that is during a brake stand (pictured below) or when making a right hand turn. (it fish tails on a lefthand turn)

Re: My 1989 Caprice Brougham [56k warning]

Mine will smoke them around %50 of the time if I floor it from a dead stop, but you have to remember I have an open-rear and P205/75R15's, so that's not saying much. I really want to get Posi 3:73's... I have the stock 2:56's and it shifts into 2nd @ 50mph when it's floored...
