Under Priced Chevy - Your Next Project Car
|
Police Caprices (in good condition) offer lots of factory-engineered performance components. To identify an authentic police Caprice with the 5.7L V-8, inspect the option label (found under the trunk lid) and look for the 9C1 code (Police Package) and the LT1 engine code (5.L V-8). A factory-built police car uses components designed for severe use such as engine-oil and power-steering coolers mounted in front of the radiator, green or blue silicon hoses, stiffer front seat springs, harder durometer body bushings, a firmer shifting transmission, a performance axle ratio, and a higher top-speed limiter in the factory ECM. In 1994, the Michigan State Police clocked a '94 Caprice with the 9C1 police package and LT1 engine at a top speed of 141.2 mph. Many of these cars are offered at government auctions for about $1,000 to $3,000. The best ones are those driven by fire captains, police sergeants, or government agencies that did not use them for 24/7 patrol. View Related Article
