Hey, jason. i'm from Erie originally. And you're right- a big block definitely helps for pulling the hills around here. That car climbs effortlessly. What year caprice did you get? I had a '78 2 door with the aero-coupe style rear glass. One of my favorite cars that i've had!

Black wheels, no hub caps, has to be a racecar. VERY NICE RIDE, Ron

It isn't anything special just like everything else I own, according to others its just me trying to polish a turd.

Yeah, the first thing i thought when i saw this Buick was that i was gonna do it up like a cop car, sort of a kojack theme... but who knows how it'll end up. I want to paint the whole car black and get dog dish caps and the thin "hot rod" style beauty rings. Lowered about 2" all the way around, with beefed up rear control arms and heavy sway bars. This car is actually not my top priority, right now, though. I have my 500 caddy motor in the machine shop, and i already have about $2000 into the short block. The heads are going to run me another $2000 and and then with all the hardware and incidentals, i'll probably be into it for about 6 G's total. Sometimes i'm jealous of you small block chevy guys...
