So where's the LT1 Caprice wagon? It certainly isn't in those pics.

Crap, I thought that was an LT1 car......

Hi patred,

Kevin and Neil probably remember me buying the car. At that point it was represented to me as an LT1 Caprice. It is not; the VIN indicates it is a 205hp L05 350 with four-speed automatic. One deceased owner prior to me. It's in sound shape and I have driven it on a couple multi-hundred-mile jaunts. At the moment it has 53,600 miles. New brake master cylinder, serpentine belt, transmission flush/fill, PCV valve. It's a light oil leaker - about a 2-inch circle any time it sits for a while - and needs an A/C recharge. Cruise works, power seats work, autodim mirror works.

As it sits, it is probably worth $3-4K. I could eBay it but I am leaving for One Lap of America, followed by a tour of Germany, and I wouldn't be able to collect any cash until mid-May. If you think you want to make a deal, let me know and we can take care of it Wednesday/Thursday. Thanks!

Updated price. Most of the suspension is stock now except for some bushings here and there. Has an Auburn differential that I used to win F-Stock at the Northeast Divisional last year.

[sigh] Still for sale.

the mullet is strong with this one. It might sell tomorrow

That's funny, right there ... I don't care who ya are ...

Can somebody lock this thread, please? Seriously. If I get one more "I'm really interested" IM/e-mail/phone call from here from somebody who just wants to waste my time, I'm going to just drive the car off a cliff and collect the insurance.

OK, the firebird hits the mr2 which is towing the kart, there's a huge fireball, profit!

Sold.

Excellent!

Howdy,

I think Sam was kinda disappointed he didn't end up with the car, but he's still coming out a winner in the deal.

Pat

Howdy,



Yeah. I think he got an order already. :-)

We're gonna have to find the themesong to KnightRider to play on the PA when the car is at the line though...

Who bought it?

I was really going to take it, but I decided to spend more for a local car that has an engine in it that I built for myself. I wanted my engine back, and the 92Z hardtop is a nice wrapper. Glad you found a home for it Pat.

A local guy bought it. He had always been a Neon/Honda/MR2 kind of a guy. A couple of years back, he co-drove my old LS1 F-Stock Camaro and I know that he has driven Sam S.'s ESP car as well. V8, rwd can be very addictive.
...I can still remember my old LS1 car going through (and I mean through) the course timing lights when he tried it.

Yep, that was me. Keith tried very hard to lure me to the "dark side" years ago with the FS co-drive (up until then, I had a decently prepped STS Civic SI [before they were cool ] and a half-built EP CRX. I don't think I actually took the lights out that day with the Camaro, but I was pretty close. Apparently, the throttle in those cars isn't quite the on-off switch that it was in the STS car.

The "new to me" car will be an ESP ride, mostly for local events until I finish the "new" EP CRX. I've got several items on order with Sam already, so the incoming parts list is: T2R (backorder for 4 weeks..ugh), "Wonder bar" steering brace, Hawk pads at all corners, adjustable panhard bar, and Ground Control weightjackers/coilover kit. I've already spent more than the car was listed at with all of the old parts still on it. Even so, I still think the car was a pretty good deal, just based on the rebuilt L98 matched to a T5.

Next up is wheels. I've searched the site some, but I'll add a post dedicated to that hunt.

Oh yeah...the car wasn't aligned after pulling the previous spring/weightjacker combo off, so the car is a handful at about 45 mph or so on the seriously crowned roads in my area. It'll stay mostly parked until I can get the new springs back on and get an alignment.

Anyone have a spare Knight Rider front light bar for sale?

Congrats, Ricky. I look forward to seeing the car (again) at an event.

If you're interested, Ricky, if the GC weight jackers you ordered are on back order, the F-Body shop near me (FBodyCentral.com) has a new weight jacker kit on the shelf for $250. Not sure what springs are with it -- the fronts are blue with no markings but look pretty stout and the rears have no markings but look almost exactly like the rear springs I got with my weight jacker kit. Again, everything is brand new and shiny and has never been on a car. I could get the measurements on the springs since I'm going back up there in the next day or two.

Pat

My GC stuff might already be on it's way. Thanks anyways

Good purchase, Rick. Looking forward to seeing you and it at some events this year. Always good to have more competitors in ESP.
