My 2012 Caprice 9c1

[JerryLSX]

Hello everyone, I've lurked this forum a few times not really giving it much thought, it wasn't until I saw a Lincoln Town Car with a 32v at the Chicago Auto Show that I decided to join in.

Anyway, quick backstory. I used to own lots of hoopties (2 Dakotas, 1 SN95 Mustang, and a Eclipse GT). Decided to sell everything and get me a grown up car, my 2012 Caprice. Bought it at Chicago Motors for cheap, it's got the L77 6.0L V8, 6 speed Auto, it's RWD, and has a ton of miles (ex-sheriff car).

Not much done to it yet, since i bought it before winter, just basic maintenance and added a temporary center console.

Forgot to mention, getting new shoes by summer time, the spotlight taken off, new exhaust, and LSA or Maggie Supercharger.

They're very comfortable, parts are kinda difficult to source but with the power of the internet and shipping parts from Australia not too bad. It surprises people that's for sure. Only gripe is the damn spotlight so far, scares people.

I saw an awesome build in one of the major magazines. Nice ride man!

I'd build the snot out of it. Leave the spot light and paint "to serve and collect" on the fenders. Bad ass car

I'm sure that was Kevin Sullivan's 9c1, he was featured on Car Craft, has his own Facebook page, and was on BadBowtieProduction's Channel on Youtube, he was the reason I made my final decision to buy the car.

14.1 @100mph as mentioned, video is up there. Ran 14's all day, no performance mods, with full size spare and tools in the trunk on mud&snow "cop tires".

Where can you find these cars for sale?

Chicago Motors, Asia Motors, Welcome Motors are all that I personally have been to that sell them. Chicago Motors was great to deal with, I recommend them. I know of 2 Caprice Cars for sale at the moment, one is at Welcome Motors, the other is a front wreck that needs lots of work. I can PM you the links if you want.
