I'm glad I found this forum, not a whole lot of info out there on them.
I've been shopping for a Caprice for a couple of months now.
I placed what I thought was a low bid on an ebay listing and did not get out bid like I thought. Oh well, mighta shoulda spent more on a better one, but looks like this one is mine so now I'll work with it. It's just nuts, bolts, and paint right?
I've been working for a local utility company for the past 8 years, before that I was a line mechanic at a Cadillac/GMC dealer for 15 years. I did a ton of block half seals and head gasket jobs on the 4.6 Northstar, a lot of A/C work, and drivability stuff. I don't have any experience with modifications, just warranty repairs.
I drove 250 miles (each way) with a trailer to pick it up. I've only had it a couple of days. So far I've reconnected the rear door handles, removed a laptop mount and ordered the R/H engine mount that is broken. The engine has a noise that I could use some help with, I'll post that up in the engine section.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums & congrats on your purchase! The Caprice is an excellent platform, even run hard from Law Enforcement service it still, hands down, will give you a smile when you get into the V8. Reconditioning an old patrol car can be a little challenging, but it sounds like you have things well in hand. Lot of owners here that can help you out if you get stuck.

Thanks
