    So, My dad bought this car about a year ago, and had it financed through a little car dealer...

    Someone sideswiped him about 4months ago, and it turned out he didnt renew his insurance, and that was the first day of no-coverage.
    We still owed over $4000 on the car, so we told the car lot to come repo it, since it wasnt driveable.

    They wanted nothing to do with it, so my dad asked them what they wanted for him to buy it outright. They wanted $3500, and my dad countered with $100. The salesman hung up on him, only to call us back 10minutes later saying "if you can have the payment up here in 30minutes, we'll take your offer".

    So...we got the wagon paid off, and I bought it off my dad for $1. Little bit of wrenching, and new front end suspension parts off of our donor wagon, and she was up and running.

    She's not the prettiest thing ever, and is pretty damn fat too..weighing in at just under 5800Lbs...

    Its a 1995 Caprice Classic Wagon, sporting the LT-1 and the 4L60. Just ticked over 120k miles last week.

    Without further adieu...I present the grandma wagon.

    How the motor sits today.




    And just poking around having some fun.
    0-60, on a slight uphill climb.


    55ish to 90ish. Gave it 2-3 little revs so you V6 owners can hear what a car should sound like XD.


    Yes, she is sporting my Black Torque Stars XD.
    Needs a good bath, and I need to scrape all that adheasive off, and get her into the shop.
