1995 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 review from North America
"9C1: The Four Door 'Vette."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet Just bought the car.
General comments?
Just bought this car from a fellow in New York. The car was part of an order for 127 State Police Vehicles for North Carolina through the Sir Walter Raleigh dealership. The paint scheme was supposed to be silver over black, however, the manufacturing plant delivered them black over silver. Because the error was on the dealership for mislabeled paperwork, they were forced to sell the cars to the public.
If you doubt the validity of this story, I'll gladly direct you to my cardomain page which has a newspaper ad about the cars in it. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2234182.
This particular car, was bought by the father of the man I bought it from, who passed away this past April. Not having a need for the car, he put it up for sale, and obviously I bought it. Intricate records were kept for the car from major repairs down to a notepad in the glove compartment citing each time the gas tank was filled, how much gasoline was put in how much it cost, and how many miles the car had on it at the time of the fill.
I get a lot of comments about the car too, which is probably the most rewarding thing about it. People always tell me how gorgeous the car looks. Second most rewarding thing is the performance... It's basically an Impala SS so most stock vehicles are objects in my rear view mirror. Exceptions of course would include high end sports cars, and high performance sedans such as BMW's. Easy pickin's would be pretty much any Honda, Hyundai, Mazda... you get the point ;)
