Also, be prepared for EVERYONE to drive the speed limit at most around you and in front of you. I don't know how many times, while driving the CV, that someone would see me and immediately slow down to the speed limit or 5 mph under.

Badass, congrats!! Looks pretty solid

Wow that center console is boring

Yea needs a disco ball or a fish tank or something

It’s only Tuesday rich17.

 

[RICH17]

I know its for function but fuck. Its soo bad

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It was a cop car. There was a laptop over some of it. If only it had door lock buttons or something on it

I bought a CV through them. Would not hesitate buying something else from them, they were awesome.

If you keep an eye on their inventory, they have some pretty sweet stuff rolling through there. Ex-boarder patrol Raptors, F-250's, ton's of PPV 'Hoe's, Caprices, EcoBoost Taurii, plus random stuff now and again.

I'm only looking at Caprice's. Come spring, it's on my checklist. I would rather have a G8 GT (remember, I'm looking at this as a daily, not another garage queen), but prices on them seem to stay hovering in the upper teens for a moderate mileage, clean used version. There are exceptions, but I usually find something wrong with them... Anyway, these things (Caprice's) can be had for under $10k commonly, granted they're a little more plebian by comparison, but still, the core parts are there... I actually have to say, I've been kinda wanting one. Saw a Statie going north on 31 this morning in his, and then in West Chicago this morning, I saw one of ours...

Finding a 9C3 (O.p.'s is a 9C1), gets the nicer G8 style center console.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

9C3 gets the plastic hubcaps...

9C3 interior;

Now later in the model run, they did receive a new dash (closer to the style of the SS), but I can't remember the console off the top of my head.

I think the biggest problem you're going to run into with the Caprices is parts (albeit for the G8 too or if you wanted to go SS). Yeah the driveline parts are easily sourced, it's all the other little BS that's going to be difficult. I would step into a Caprice, except I don't want to have a DD where parts are difficult to find.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Its so good though.... But I agree. Holdens and parts are a crappy combo

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Fortunately there is a decent enough community with these things that there are all the parts and numbers listed somewhere. Rockauto also has it listed I think. So for the near future I’m good, when things get hard to find and if I actually still have it, then race car time I guess.

I'm well versed on the Holden parts issues.

Engine and drivetrain really aren't the issue as they're shared with other GMNA parts bins and of course, the aftermarket. It's body and Aussie specific stuff that's more the issue.

Someone mentioned a Caprice with Camaro 20's on it, so as I was cleaning my C: drive here at work tonight, I found this...

 

[DEEZUZ]

I love the oil fill trap

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Behind a WeGo 9C1 this morning, I've got a real hard on for these things for some fucking reason...

ANyway, cruising AutoTrader tonight, found this one at Terry's in Penisylvania I believe. A little high at $12,800 for 97k, but this car overall looks pretty kick ass. Camaro 20's, lowered (one of the issue with putting the Camaro 20's on is that it gives the car a 4x4 look), added exhaust tips to dress up the anemic pipes, etc... This just has a nice stance. There is also some interior damage to knobs and such. So I saved these off to my PC;

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Would drive

 

[DEEZUZ]

GM and damage to interior knobs?

Shocking....
..


Lane did you also save them to a 3 ¹/² floppy A? Lolol

 

[Bub]

God damn. Do something with the grill and that thing is perfection.

 

[DEEZUZ]

These were not Holden correct?

 

[Yaj Yak]

These were not Holden correct?

they were

 

[DEEZUZ]

Fuck

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Would drive and then light on fire when I can't find parts.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Rather g8 than

 

[Yaj Yak]

i wouldn't

since these are cop cars, plenty will need new parts up round here.

i bet parts will be easier to get for one of these than g8s

 

[EmersonHart13]

Agreed, and newer and Chevy still exists.
