Finally Scored a Caprice
Found this 1978 Caprice Classic 2 door sedan while getting another vehicle worked on. 76,000 original miles. A/C, Tilt, Cruise, AM/FM Cassette, Pwr Windows/Locks. Vin "L" 350/350 with 2:56 gears.
I just love the back window.

Re: Finally Scored a Caprice
Yeah, nice car from Montana so NO rust.
I'm thinking of maybe a big block for this one if I don't sell it first. I found another too. A 4 door with only 40K that is absolutely like brand new. But I'm not too interested in 4 door cars.

Re: Finally Scored a Caprice
I used to have a '78 Impala - silver 2-door with black top. I always liked that window.
I sold it and bought a new '85 2-door Landau, another good looking body IMO. Kinda wish I'd kept that one. But I did drive it for 10 years.

Re: Finally Scored a Caprice
I will probably put a big block in this car. The 350 that's in it is only 170 horse and that's just NOT enough.
That is unless someone else wants to trade me 2,500 or so dollar bills for it. The engine in my signature is in my 89' S10. It's a mild 94' 350 roller motor. I was going to put a 454 in it but couldn't find tube headers for it and I didn't want to mess around building a set for it.
