GM was dumb to discontinue this line
LT1 Fan, 06/29/2009
1994 Chevrolet Caprice 4dr Sedan
I had 2 Caprices - an ex-cop car and a wagon. Both were equipped with the now- legendary LT1. My Cop car was purchased with 58K on the odo and the only necessary repair during its life was a starter which was cheap and installed in less than a half an hour. Car was bulletproof and with the plethora of bolt-on aftermarket parts was an absolute blast to drive. Engine was flawless and never … leaked, missed or failed to start. My wagon, after being beaten for 90K miles road like a Caddy with a simple, $600 overhaul of the entire suspension. My buddy's Caprice has over 220K on it and the valve covers have never been removed. Superb cars that GM should've kept refining.

Caprice 9C1 Police Package

1994 Chevrolet Caprice 4dr Sedan
I bought the car 2 years ago with
162,000 miles for $3200 on eBay from a
local city police department. I drive
the car 85 miles for day to work and get
20 mpg. It's big, roomy and solid. Now
with almost 200,000 miles (engine
replaced at 87,000 by police dept) a few
things are wearing out but nothing of a
siginificant cost.

1993 Chevrolet Caprice 4dr Sedan
this is my 11th caprice of varying
years, this is the 6th i have owned
with the 5.0 (305 cu. inch) i honestly
can say that after the late 80's any
of the TBI (throttle body injection)
cars are still the best as you can
work on them in your yard, they get
great mileage (mine have averaged 15-
16 city and 24++++ on the road, even
as high as the low 30's with a stiff …
tailwind @ 65 with the cruise set) if
GM had half a brain trust they would
go back to building these things!

Nothing to trade up to.

1994 Chevrolet Caprice LS 4dr Sedan
Got ours,fulylded lther seat,4.3L,at 32K frm retd couple who got it new.Safe to say it's never been abused.Hwy Mpg at 32K was 30.5 obsving spd lmts,cruise,& fully loaded.It's had only 1 tuneup.Last rd trip at 140K was 29.1 mpg.If mass is #1 factor in safety this size leads the way.Comfort? One revwer said it was like drving a livingroom dn the rd.Couldn't agree more.Yet it handles … superbly in all cond's.The 6way seat holds the drver in grt drving posture while he compltely escapes normal drving fatigue-all day!Dependable? We've replaced only the water pump.All sched mntnance perfmed.Eng smokefree leaks 1qt in 3K (fixable).Still rustfree.Trade?No thx. The combo is just too good-what a ride!
