Your dad should have his own show!! He's a character.

As 90s car guy. I highly approve of this. Love these cars!

Hope to see more of you and your dad. The way you play off of each other is priceless. Heavy is something you pick up lol

Nice Caprice, that'll clean up nicely. It would be even better with the 5.7 LT1 or 9C1 package and better still if it was a wagon. Why can't we go back to having the gas filler behind the license plate so there is no wrong side?

Some police cars had the 4.3 liter from what I read.

... Chris i really like the vibes between you and your dad, the combination is a plus to East Coast Classics. Congratulations on this purchase man.

Absolutely awesome car plus the Lincoln you got from this place. Way to go!!!! Simply put, the car sat outside for many years so use it for a while and the car will naturally heal itself back to good shape... Pops is an awesome guy.

My Dad and I did countless trips picking up vehicles all over the North East. Classify those as good times. Great video. Keep them coming.

They had a 4.3 liter V6 that was a very strong engine. I never realized they made a 4.3 V8. Awesome looking car.

Those are awesome cars Chris. The color is called Dark Green Grey Metallic. Nothing wrong with an L99 4.3 car. That car is a good deal…they will literally run forever with just basic maintenance. Window rollers are a common failure on the GM B cars…super cheap and easy. They run warm by design for emissions. Make sure the fans are working…quick test is to turn on the AC both fans should come on…or pull the plug off of the engine temp module (front of the water pump). Don’t touch the Opti if the car is running ok.

Your dad is awesome! I love how he drives like the sixteen year old me used to drive. Burnouts at every stoplight! And yeah there are pre-COVID car prices, and then today’s pandemic car prices which are just nuts.

@@sccarguy8242 Yeah, my brother and I weren't a fan. Accidentally bought one with the 4.3l v8, that mistake was not made again. The 94-96 b body was actually mechanically a pretty lousy car. The Lt1 is what made up for it. Back in the day, a police department sold off all their Caprices I bought pallets of their spare parts. It was a small dept with 7-8 cars. I bought $30k + worth of parts for pennies on the dollar. Thats what it took to keep those cars on the road as police cars.

But all the ones I DID fine were molested beyond recognition, so I wanted to snatch one at an actual police auction.

Nice video as always! One of the first games I played as a kid was Need for Speed High Stakes. It had a pursuit Chevrolet Caprice and a bunch of other American cars from that era. In love with these land yachts ever since.

Hahahaha. Your Dad is a character! Looking forward to the restoration. Love these cars.

I personally think $5000 is way to high for a Caprice. It looks like it would be worth $2500-$3000. Could have bought like 2 Crown Vics for that price haha.

I just love the 91-96 GM B-Body cars, I had a 91 Caprice Classic as a daily driver from 2009 to 2018 ( finally sold it in 2020). It was the best daily driver ever! That color is really nice and the 4.3l baby LT1 is a good motor, mine was in gun metal gray and with the lazy 305 TBI.

Nice. I got a '94 from IAAI for $2100 with fees last year. She rides like a boat. All I had to do was change the spark plugs, wires, and the water pump. Definitely keep her for a little while and enjoy the smooth ride.

Your dad's a hoot! I had a 94 Caprice Wagon with the 5.7! Loved that car! I made a few modifications, like replacing the stock mufflers and resonators with inexpensive turbo mufflers and an H-pipe, added a 9C1 rear swaybar, better shocks, polyurethane body mounts, and 17 inch Corvette wheels on custom 5inch to 4.5 inch adaptors. Great handling whale of a car! Dare I say "sporty!" I took it to two track days at Summit Point in West Virginia and Eagle's Canyon in Texas and had a blast! I was not the slowest car on the track those days! The price for the smaller engine seems high to me. But, you know, COVID. If I was going to put some money in a car like that it would need to have the 5.7. I've had a couple of LT1's with the Caprice and the 95 Camaro I own now. If it's working, then let sleeping dogs lie. Avoid parts store aftermarket optisparks! Still great find! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Baltimore!

No doubt, a classic beauty. My father-in-law had a 1992 great car very solid. It was driven to the very end then sold for scrap. Definitely got his money's worth. I'm on Craigslist everyday and I find many cars in good solid condition for less than half of what you paid. And I'm talking about people who you can tell are either original or second owners, honest and in most cases, are willing to negotiate. I kinda think you overpaid but with used car covid prices going through the roof, I do hope you find someone who can appreciate these classic time machines . Good luck

For a 26 year old Caprice, the price seems a tad bit high. But other than the crease in the rear quarter, it is a nice looking car. I love your dad! He is a hoot! I laughed my arse of when he did a burn out when you were leaving the auction! Stay safe!

I think you should keep it. It reminds me a lot of the Lincoln Town Car. A 90s era American luxo-barge that looks, drives, and cleans up nice for not a whole lot of money. Also, you don't see these on the roads anymore. You should keep these things going. After sorting the engine and doing a thorough detail, it will clean up just as nicely as that Town Car. Also, what are the odds that it's also green? LOL!

Love those cars. I always wanted one until I rode in a vic. I liked them a ittle bit more having driven 4.

The rear wheels sit about 3/4 inch forward on these 94-96 Caprice/Impala Lt1 cars. Highly recommend a kit to center the rear wheels. GM really did a disservice on these cars by not correcting the issue. Non the less, great car. The Roadmaster is the only one I haven't owned.
