1995 Chevy Caprice 9C1 Review

- An in depth tour and review of my 1995 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1, including the exterior, interior, drivetrain, and special police-package equipment. This specific vehicle was owned by the Illinois State Police, and hence, has cloth seats and does does not have a cage in the rear. This vehicle also features the LT1 engine also shared with the ever-popular Impala SS.

Love the car, they are more rare than impalas I'd much rather have a clean 9c1
Impalas are as common as dirt where I am. xD
rare doesn't make a car worth $$…….demand does
@@tommytomtomt yes never said anything about what money they bring, I love the b body platform and know all about them. I'd prefer a 9c1 just my opinion
Oh for sure man my dad had a 95 police car lost it at the auction
Got 94 9c1 ❤I love it
9C1 is NOT an RPO code, but in fact is an SEO (Special Equipment Option) code. Tires (225 & 235) are 70 series, & were never 75 series. This vehicle DOES NOT have 'all the standard chrome on a Caprice'. It has the SEO 'B19' option, which for 9C1's -only, is the complete deletion of the usual side cladding, providing the buyer a $17 credit. The deletion of the Caprice emblem(s) was SOP on all 9C1's, but was included in the glovebox upon delivery, to be installed when taken out of service for auction. This ride height is found all Caprices, 9C1's & civilian models. Remote trunk opener operates regardless if vehicle is running & was a another SEO; 6H6 or 6H7, depending on installation location.
It's a great car for someone who loves classic American cars. The ride quality is amazing.
What a beautiful car! Not many of these left around. The few that are left - have been heavily modified. When I have some extra cash laying around, I want to add one of these to my garage. Take care of it!
Unfortunately, I had to sell it soon after this video was filmed. But, happy ending, it ended up in the hands of someone who is restoring it.
I have one 5k it's your
I’ve got the 1996 of this. Amazing car and great review.
I also have 1996 (9C1 LT1). For some time I have suspension problems all the time, especially with moving rear wheel hubs. In addition, the steering wheel loose and coolant temperature indicator not working.
In Europe, some parts are very expensive or unobtainable. But I still love this car! :D
Thank you!
Yours was actually had a bit more power .
Great job with the details of this car in a non-boring manner. Thanks
I got my limiter removed on my 95 roadmaster, well 2 days later I tested it...went past a cop doing 135
How do you remove the limiter? I have a 95 roadmaster as well.
@@denisjurcik7522 you have to get it sent off, the process only takes a few days if you'd like I have a friend on Facebook who does it for a very good price. If it is your daily(cant be down that long) just go to a junkyard and pull a computer out of any 1995 B/D body lt1 and it is plug and play so you can drive your car without worrying about down time
How much is the process. Does your friend live around Chicago?
@@denisjurcik7522 he is located in ohio I will get you the link to his website
I would sell my p71 just to get a 94-96 9c1 those are still my favorite caprices it's not many here in Texas there all crushed up in the junkyard or in bad shape
Now those 91-93 Caprice 9c1 are out of sight. Rare
Yea it’s hard to find a 93 9c1
I know of two '91-93 9C1s in junkyards near me, the kind that don't crush stuff. Kind of funny; I've never run into a '94-96.
@@Hemingray1893 you sure they are 9c1 because the DETECTIVE VERSION IS IDENTINTICAL TO THE LTZ
@@SIX4TALL I know one's got the 9C1 RPO code... the other one, I'm not sure.
@@Hemingray1893 in my city like 5 years ago we had two sheriff caprices they drove them every blue Moon and they had auctioned them off to Tyler tx I was so upset
god I miss my 94 9c1, was definitely a fast vehicle even at 266K.
Damn I love this Chevy interceptor 😍💙
now this was a great review
I love these big body American sedans from the 90’s. I had a 95 buick park ave I loved the thing to death unfortunately the previous owner didn’t really take care of it and it would burn a quart of oil every few hundred miles..nothing like the 90’s!

I dont blame them gm must have thought. If it ain't broke we ain't gonna fix it. On the steering column it's a simple design and not bad quality except the ignition switch they some times lock up
Getting mine tomorrow
I love my gold 9C1! I did delete a little more trim along with the pin stripe on mine
Love my 96 9c1
You got the best year, beefy ball joints and obd2, how much will you take? 😂
Beautiful car! fix the rust spots and it looks impecable!
@ Happy Daze: I know about the ignition lock on '80s era M cars. I had an '87 Buick Century Custom Sedan in my high school years, my ignition lock would stick in the "lock" position if you took the key out of the ignition lock. Drove me nuts.
Every 9C1 has different quirks and mods, and its cool to see all the different ones.
My 9C1 has the shift interlock removed, so you dont have to push the brake pedal to shift gears. Which is both nice and terrifying, since its means you can technically (I think) put it into reverse while at any speed. I guess so that officers could jump into the car and just slam it into gear. But they also put a metal stopper on the steering column so you couldnt go into first gear manually. Probably so officers dont put it in first gear and starts tearing after someone, ruining the gearbox.
Kinda wish mine had the switch yours has that makes it so you can take out the key while running the car.
Mine had a first gear lockout, as well. I think I found a sales brochure on the internet once that listed that as an option. I always thought it was a fuel efficiency thing, blocking one from leaving it in first and thereby revving the engine higher than necessary.
Also, that ignition bypass made for some funny pranks on unsuspecting passengers! "Well, this is an interesting problem..."
Almost all ex cruisers have emblems deleted. Its a trim option from factory. Departments often need to put more important information in places where badges might usually be like unit numbers..
Working on getting an ex mn squad from 1991 9c1 with the pinstriping
Great video.
Is there a way to put a cover under the engine compartment to protect it?
Not to my knowledge. Maybe one of the plastic skid plates could be adapted off a later truck/suv.
Nice Review! Your 6Y5 code tells you have no ornamentation installed. So, no Caprice lettering on your trunk lid.
I hope to own one original 9C1 soon.
All the detail but you fail to mention critical info - does it come with a 10 or a 12 bolt rear?
10-bolt (I think). You have to take good care of them; they are notorious for failure.
Beautiful! I have a '87 Dodge Diplomat (former Illinois State Police as well, with a Whip, white paint and all). You should join the Vintage Police Car Owners on Facebook page.
That's a real nice car. I was part of the Facebook group; I think I was kicked. They don't take well to "gearheads who just happen to have an old police car".
this car steering column was changed cause the 9c1 never came with cruise control and the switch is on the end of the wiper controls, I believe
Not correct cruise was available as an option on the 9C1
I got 95 civilian 4.3 V8 with 281,000 miles. I have zero rust and plugged hood emblem hole with tape on hood and Bondo fiberglass filler for boats and campers. Tiny can will do to fill all your rust spots. Get spray matched can white any paint place to cover your work after sanding Bondo. I rebuilt my whole passenger quarter section with bondo. If I were there in 10 minutes I do all your body work. Shave Bondo while it's hard soft eazy sanding if not it will harded like rock.
That's a good idea, but unfortunately, I sold the car recently as it started having problems while I was away at college and my parents were stuck with it. The person I sold it to is restoring it, though, and tells me thed body was fully sandblasted and repaired with steel patches.
Love my 3 9c1s
Nice car. Dose it have an hours meter gauge?
That, I do not know.
I want one of these to daily. Even though I love my 95 ss
my 96 caprice had a 10.1 compression
I just picked one up with 144k miles for $600 it runs and drives good!!
What a steal!
GM didn't add the emblems to the car but they should have put them in the glove box with the adhesive on the back
The Trunk Button is in the Glove Compartment on the '96 Caprice LS - and btw - you are quite odd ... if you replace the turn signal flasher with an aftermarket HD - the signals will blink twice as fast.
I bought a 91 5.7 9c1 about 6 months ago. Engine is great!! Body sucks ass...thinking about swapping into my 79 caprice classic.
In a since think it's cool hearing lady ones talking on it yes
I found one just like yours but it’s abandoned and idk who the owner is it’s sitting in a fenced in property with many other older vehicles
Even in late and early eighties they interfered on tv etc but say it doesn't interfere it does my cousin's a security guard talks on CB or two way he knows
But civilian SUVs similar have five lug nuts even though hub caps almost identical or are one difference five lug nuts
I can only dream of these since im italian and such a car will drain my wage in fuel alone at 1.60 euros per liter :) when i sleep i drive sometimes Caprice 9C1 lol!
My dad just gifted me with his 95 9c1 impala clone that he’s had for 16 years
Always like the 95s impalas and 9c1s 96 impala is only the floor shifter not a big deal to me
He said it does
I have a 93 caprice classic but its not a 9c1
Nice caprice. I have a 95 roadmaster limited. Save the whales!
Thank you! And yeah, man, save the whales!
Hey I need help
Nice review though you might want to economize with the words. Good display of performance details. Is kinda funny to hear the fuel door license plate described as if were an oddity. Having worked at a service station in 1970s that seems laughable. Fuel mileage was always spectacular on these big Chevys as long as they were well tuned, My 1991cop car could go 35mpg on full highway miles with the 91 octane. The nice thing about a car like this is the drive is invigorating. When you arrive where you're going you don't need a night's rest to make up for the trip like today little cars seem to require. I suspect your higher mileage unit may only be at about 75% of its potential. Should you refresh that engine from the cylinder heads up, especially the fuel injectors and sensors and ignition you would brag about your fuel mileage and have to exercise caution taking off. Would it be worth the $$$ ??? hard to say. The planet might thank you for a better burn on that fuel but I may also be reading this all wrong. thanks for your efforts and Happy Motoring. Looks like I could economize with the words myself HaHaHa
Impala was the original.caprice but branched names off and changed them to two different names i tried to look for 61 60 to 63 or 64 the Caprice was not called that back then it was Impala but branched it up and changed the one some few name of it
The crown Victoria is sort of like Chrysler empiral 50s big car but not looking fifties but look at the ultraseven pointer car it's built like crown Vic but bigger like over sized one like delta88 version or bigger you could sleep in it
Fix your exhaust leak
One of the tailpipes rusted off right behind the cat on the way through Missouri. Had a half straight-piped car for a year. But the guy I sold it to is restoring it, so rest assured it's probably been fixed by now.
They are fraternal twin cars really couple very little differences but mostly identical like fraternal twin sisters or brothers look mostly alike but couple of almost no noticeable differences but little you could do though
That noise is vacuum
23:50 nice lol 34:49 you look a bit like Laurent Fignon.
Still have your isp car? I'm the guy who sold it to u!
Holy Cow! I don't, unfortunately. It got a flat tire right before I went to college and my parents didn't want to deal with it. By that time, I had been driving it without power steering for 4 months because that went out. Since I was away at college, I ended up deleting it and running the lines back into themselves so the pump and steering box wouldn't eat themselves. It was sold to a police car restorer. He told me it was very rare for those to have carpets, apparently. Also complimented the interior; I kept the towels on and only took them off a handful of times for shows and such. Still ran great, save for the power steering. It's still out there somewhere. I still know the VIN, so I always take a look when I see old Caprice police cars at shows!
@@Hemingray1893 still have 2 95s
@@heishongwong2458 I got a '63 Ford 300 currently that's occupying all my time.
The engine sounds crown Vic ish to loud engine like police do but police in situation ultra car was same but now for tour and fun
I wish I had a car like this, instead of my shitty 89 Ford!
I don't know, this is a fast car but the 89 Ford has the classic boxy styling. The styling on these Chevys was controversial.
@@moonbeamskies3346 "Boxy" is ugly. It's easy to slap three boxes together and call it a "car" is it not? It doesn't really matter though, I paid close to nothing for it and I can just get rid of it once it's done.
I have 1995 9c1 for sale 5k 140k miles
A corrvett in disguise😝✈✈✈✈
Identical twins all the way no but freternal which is close to it yes
Even in today's police cars too and doesn't waste gas despite it being a eight cylinder it's like that ultraseven car for Chrysler imperial 58 it got push stater thing like demolition derby it's for sale for generous price 100 dollars and 99 dollars or could be mistaken 99 for car 98 for shipping can't afford it any more selling it cheap on eBay on duck go
It's customized made it in late 60s used to be police car taxes were made to build it looks like a crown Vic weird looking one by headlights body back sloping down used to use guns that came out of back even in movies but took them out after even making science fiction one from police car called ultraseven an Ultraman series but Ultraman cousin really after show and police took guns out lazar guns they were really machine gun things near head lights and others except lots of buttons to lock doors and possibly shock people who try to steal it is on sort of fulfilment of taking key out still running and putting it back on it is customized defensive like i said except two things taken out and it's doors are crysler empirial and the top but top even in 58 crysler empirial look crown Vick ish alittle if hard top some are convertibles
Your car has a 4.3
9C1s only run LT1s. You can also tell by the alternator, grant it it hasn’t been changed.
Tranny rebuild. I had a 94 and had to change some of the gears.
The engines are different to between civilian car Caprice and police the police got 600 horse power engine civilian normal like any other care when they stuck on ice police car engines if slowly going up the hill especially lady ones if they don't keep their wheels straight going up burning tires melting it cause goes 1000 roms on rain and snow than men which women burn on rain and snow now they do it than men in rain i don't know hear tires in rain whining going 1000 miles per hour while going 100 miles an hour and In ice stupider but literally burning tires and rain risking springing speedometer on ice too and making tire marks their engines would make you think demolition derby car of today not yesturyear and or Daytona 500 race car both them cars and this sound similar and quiet when going regular speed Calle with air conditional engine sound called ting sound and other times step on gas more pronounced yes those are street stock crime fighter racing cars and regular cars if supped up like them built can have slow speed street driving ting noise then when racing loud by turning it on but with regular cars buttons police by them selves with out Volkswagen same way button pressed but no longer losing the buttons now i don't know maybe them selves too or the got click gear to do it police cars don't
Ok.
Police cars don't have name of car badge or an emblem today's police don't have name Caprice crown Vic or other either or emblems they like demolition derby cars no emblems only some have names most don't like police just civilian cars do have names etc they don't have even hub caps no more like military vehicle don't and wheels that screw of f of SUVs are not lug nuts no more just like military or other it's in middle you unscrew like Indi car or unlock 8t or it don't have flats another reason 8 don't know but don't have lug nuts five any more five nuts it either unlocks with key or button or unscrews like indicar with power driver i got to look that up i discovered it it's only in the middle
Men yes but mostly like to hear women talking on there
