@@MickelsonRacingChannel I’m looking at a 2015 Caprice PPV for sale in Fort Worth for 10k, has 78k miles and is the V8. Only thing is it still has the plastic bucket seats in the back and the center console is completely ripped out and looks terrible. I think I know a place that can replace the seats to regular ones, but I’m not sure about the console as of yet. One other thing that’s weird about the Caprice I’m looking at is that the multimedia functions are disabled on the screen, including the USB, AUX, and Bluetooth, and I think even the radio. This is super weird to me, does your car have this problem at all? If I absolutely have to I guess I could just rip out that stereo and install something aftermarket, but I’ve just never heard of a police vehicles multimedia functions being disabled. You think I should go for this Caprice? It’s the only one for sale within 200 miles of me and has good miles and has all the performance I want from it besides the supercharger.

An LS is an LS. The engine is an L77. All standard LS parts will fit the L77. Body parts are difficult to find, yes, but I don’t believe that would constitute telling people not to buy them.
