Introduction / Overview:

*SOLD*

My 91 Caprice Wagon. I have had it for 6 years now and have done everything to it myself other than the dash wrap. It isn't pretty, it gets the job done, and I drive it everyday. it got its name because of the worn and dry the valve guides. It smokes like a James Bond smoke screen upon start up. She is getting tired, but still kickin.

Drivetrain:
Swapped in a 350 and junked the 305. 700R4 trans. 273:1 rear gears (horrible in the city, but makes it a freeway flyer). Opened up exhuast with a 2.5 Flowmaster Super 44. Electric fans, intake and minor things to free up some power and mileage.

Chassis:
Bagged. Lays frame.

Wheels:
Black steelies now. On the hunt for some new shoes...

Body:

Shaved door handles, shaved tailgate and trim. '06 Buick Lucerne port-holes, 94 Buick Roadmaster front sheetmetal and plastics. White primer with black scallops. Pinstriped with a pinup airbrushed on the tailgate.

Interioir:
Custom white vinyl wrapped dash. The rest is a combination of stock pieces from other cars. Caprice sedan front seats, roadmaster door panels and center console with sir switches tucked inside.

Cool. That is the 1st time I have seen or ever heard of someone using a Buick front on those...usually they use Imp SS. Very creative and outside the box.
