This page details the work I've done and am currently doing on the Caprice

I bought this car in August of '95. It was a high mileage, ex-fleet vehicle from a company in Plymouth, CT that had several full size GM wagons. This Caprice served as my primary transportation until August of '01. Due to the fact the dealer would only give me $100 for it as a trade in when I purchased another vehicle I kept it. It's now kept as a spare vehicle and doubles as my "truck". There are a great many of these vehicles being junked and also used a demo cars before going to the crusher. I'm hoping to keep this one alive as long as possible. It will only be a few more years before it's eligible for antique plates :)

This is the 9 passenger model (3rd seat) and fully loaded. It has power everything, windows, locks, seat, antenna, ect. It's powered by an Oldsmobile 307 (factory), engine code "Y" in the VIN. I added a class 1 hitch when I replaced the rotted rear bumper.

The Mustang gets most of the attention but occasionally this one will. The main problem is I currently don't have a garage for it. This limits how far I can really get into this car, especially here in Northwestern, Connecticut where it gets brutally cold for several months out of the year.
