1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 9C1 review from North America
"The sleeper super car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most of the things that have gone wrong with this car have been interior electrical items, like the windshield wiper selector switch.
The water pump did go out at about 120,000 miles. This has been the only major repair item.
The body is a little rough, with some rust spots in areas.
General comments?
Quoth the Blues Brothers: "It's got cop suspension, cop brakes, cop tires..."
It's roomy, fast, comfortable, reliable, and unstoppable.
Designed to jump curbs if necessary.
