General comments?
I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH THIS ROADMONSTER
I did most of the needed repairs myself, and some are pain in the ass (spark plugs change) but the pleasure of owning the famous LT1 worth all of every miles out of it.
I cannot explain how much I love this car, smooth and fast, All the repairs done are the proof.there are no feelings like passing on highways 4 doors civic or accord and telling myself god I have one good car.
I don't know how long the LT1 will be as strong, but I bought another one same year with 110,000 miles on it while I still use this car almost everyday.
Many friends and relatives says I better let it go and the main reasons are related as a (planet destroyer) pollution wise. But this car is surprisingly better on gas mileage than many pick-up or SUV and has been relatively cheap to repair and above all it is BIG and PAID, god no car payments! even with all the repairs it is better than a damn car payment. Many young friends who tried this monster couldn't believe that being so big could be so fast with that much miles. You can get these Roadmaster for cheap and in good condition because it is an old man's car and most of them weren't beaten to death and above all the LT1 on 94-96 models. Many parts are still available through Ebay because they share for many the same parts with caprice 9C1, impala SS, and fleetwood of the same era.
