  • So we gotta name this thing...

    As some of you guys know, I am buying an '88 9C1 Caprice from LS7GTO here on the board. Initially, the plan was to make this car my DD, but that has changed some. My grandfather willed me his 2009 Ford Escape, so that is my DD. This means that the Caprice will be a dedicated BS project vehicle.

    The car is running and driving and all that stuff, so I am going to drive it home. My plan is to drag race and autocross the car exactly has it sits and then begin attacking it after we get good baselines on everything. I actually just bought a 350 from CL today that I'll build to plop into the car when the stocker either blows up or gets too tired to be fun.

    I am super excited about this. I still have my truck love, but it is time to go fast again!

    So what is the name of this thing gonna be?

            You could name it "Hunter" after the TV show" he always drove one."Dirty Harry" would be good too since it looks like an undercover.

                    and for some reason the raised white letters on the tires seem to work well with the car

                        Dang Brian, it runs and drives, but I told you its just a cheap ride. I always just called her the COPrice! I just dont want your expectations to be too high! She will always will be one of my favorite cars, she never once left me down. ( more than I can say about the turbo bird that replaced her! that needed towed about 6 times!)

                              there is "white lightning".. when is that original.



                              you mentioned the word caprice. the subconscious video embedded in my mind now has to be posted.
