1995 Caprice Lt1 Tastefully And Professionally Modified And Customized on 2040-cars

 Hello folks. Just to be perfectly honest and clear, I want to state up front that this car was born as a black over gray leather LT1 Caprice and although it resembles one, it is NOT an Impala SS. I bought this car from a Ford dealer in TN where it was traded in by its original owner. It has been in the south its whole life and is completely rust free. I wanted a sleeper, a fun, fast car that would fool people and ruin egos. I started by tearing down the top half of the engine and replaced the iron heads with stock aluminum LT1 heads off my '94 Z28. They were treated to a performance valve job and they've been bowl blended, pocket ported and gasket matched. I installed a Comp Cams 260XFI cam with 210/218 duration at .050" along with a full roller valvetrain using more parts from Comp and Crane. For those that don't know engine mods well, don't worry, this isn't a lopey race engine, its very streetable and was built to maximize torque for getting this heavy car moving. I used a thinner head gasket during the cylinder head install to bump the compression to 11:1, but it still runs fine on pump premium. The Opti-Spark distributor has been replaced along with an LT4 knock module and a Crane ignition box and coil. The exhaust is a 2.5" dual cat-back from Jegs, but with 50 series (the quiet ones) Flowmaster mufflers installed.  The transmission has a custom torque converter matched to the cam and gearing. The stock drum brake rear end was replaced with a 3.08:1, 4-wheel disc rear end from a 9C1 police car. The diff was also replaced with a new Eaton Posi unit. I had my friend Reese Cox at MTI racing do a quickie tune on the car and it runs great. It does seem to pull a bit harder at 90% throttle than WOT so I know there's a lot left on the table with some more tuning. I've been meaning to take it back to MTI and get it on their dyno for a proper tune, but I haven't had a chance. It hasn't been down the track but seat-of-the-pants feels like it would run a mid 13. The car passes emissions here in GA with no problem at all. 

So there I was with my 13 second granny car covered in chrome and even sporting white wall tires when this (I'll bite my tongue here) woman sideswipes the RF door and fender. The damage was very minor, but I found a deal on a perfect door and fender from a black Impala SS so I used those parts so the car would have zero filler. Since the car was going to the body shop, I decided to change direction and make some tasteful modifications. I installed an Impala grill and spoiler, shaved the trunk lock cylinder and installed smooth urethane bumpers (not the cheap fiberglass ones). Magnum Collision in Marietta GA did the whole body respray and it came out beautiful. The wheels are 18" Centerline Lazers and the tires are Dunlop SP Sports 245/40r18 front and 275/35r18 rear and in good condition. The car has also been lowered with lowering springs in the rear and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front.

The interior is in excellent condition with very good leather and only the driver's lower seat foam showing signs of wear. I think the carpet was replaced by the dealer I bought the car from because it doesn't fit quite as nice as I expect a factory carpet to. Overall, the interior is very nice, especially for a 19 year old car.

The car is located in Kennesaw GA and I have a clean title in hand. I urge any serious buyers to inspect the car and test drive it themselves or arrange a pre-purchase inspection. This is very nice car with nothing to hide. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any more specific details or additional photos.

Also available, but not included are an extensive collection of parts to take this car to the next level performance wise. The key items are a very high end 396 LT1 stroker with a Callies 4340 crank, Oliver billet rods and custom 2618 Ross forged pistons. No Chinese Eagle or Scat junk. I've also got an LT1 Camaro T-56 six speed manual transmission that I've rebuilt with a Dodge Viper main shaft along with many, but not all of the parts needed to install it. If interested, the sale of these items can be negotiated separately.
