#Copart #Caprice #Chevy
Replace the hood and trunk, fix the top, dash, and rest of interior.Detail and done. Good content we can all relate to.
@Reign Julius the fuck does this have to do with anything
bring that beautiful caprice back to her showroom days , 100% worth
definitely
She deserves to be brought back, i think we would absolutely love to see a caprice series!! she just needs a little love. Mechanically she's sound and its mainly cosmetic issues. That engine bay is insanely clean for a car that old. I absolutely love 80s and 90s gm stuff!
Gotta bring her back. Many people sleep on these caprices, especially the ones from the 70s and 80s.
I wouldn’t mod that car but I would bring her back to her former glory the day she rolled off off of the lot she sounds great and deserves is especially with the 4.3L super rare
Donate to a poor family in need of a reliable vehicle
@@brianhayes7618 i mean you have a point but thats not something i would do im not a dick or anything but thats just me
@@brianhayes7618 also id get them like a camry or a civic bc those things are damn near invincible
@@thatboyyoung3252 Ya and the petrol cost and tax and insurance is way cheaper on a 1.8 than a 4.3 at least in Ireland in the USA it could be different.
Guarantee way to lose money. I wonder if that matters.
I remember these cars being used as taxis growing up. They rode pretty nice.
So paint it yellow! The AAR Cab with a checker stripe. This will stay in mind! Furthermore put some all terrain tires on it and rally it down at the Ardmore rally track. This will be hilarious! Lmao.
you can use it to be a uber driver if the channel crashes
Cop cars also 👍🏻
@@briankoundry3401 True that.
The Caprice brings back fond memories,I wish I had my 91 back.You could cruise all day on the interstate and not be tired.
If you can bring a Swamp Vette back to life, just imagine how this Caprice will look!
Impala SS wannabe :P that would be sick power******
This car is an easy rejuvenation. $2000 into this ride and it'll be incredible.
I would love to see this as a giveaway car. Put some rims tires true dual exhaust and go with an eye catching color you wouldnt see on a car like this.
in midnight blue dropped to the ground on wide billet 17s. engine swap 94 corvette with quickshift auto drivetrain and diff.
There not many left... No motor swap it needs a oil change plus and filer and some nice headers on the cheap.
A free giveaway car is a good idea but it wouldn't make any sense to fix the exterior without fixing the interior
@@Gizmo88 retrim the leather, new hoodlining and clean the carpet and fix the sundamaged dash. Old limos are the roomiest and re-gas the aircon its probably not working since long ago.
I would love to see you give it a new lease on life! You don't have to fix every little thing but have it detailed, fix the trunk, maybe a set a flowmasters, have fun with it!
I love these Caprices and I have a soft spot for them, especially the 9C1. When I was a lot attendant at my first job, somebody actually traded in a ‘94 9C1 with the LT1 in it. It was an ex- Portland police car and instead of wholesaling it, we kept it as a security car. Though the car was beat, the LT1 wasn’t. It still charged liked a pissed off lion. No wonder the police loved them. For what it was, you could still legitimately call it fast. If I recall, when new they could push past 140 MPH, not too amazing now but a revelation in the mid 90’s when not even the 5.0 Mustang police cars could push past 135.
She’s a Golden Girl, and I think her colour should reflect that! Or maybe a red with some gold flake. 🎵 Thank you for being a friend! 🎶
Thank you Randy you just brought back some fond memories my Grandfather had one bought brand new he was chief of police I was in a parade with him in it he was so proud of his car all other departments had the box style caprice love it brother
Its like Swampvette got a big brother. You know we all want see that B-body get fixed up.
Honestly just clean the car to perfection, restore the headlights, and fix the minor issues and I think it would look amazing.
👍👍👍👍
Clean it up, detail the inside, new hood, new bumper cover, new trunk lid, skim coat the roof, and paint the car dark burgundy clear coat. If you want to get nitpicky, you can always replace the carpet in the rear window, or dye what's left there. And get a dash pad cover for the dash. Get your speedometer working, and you're going to have one hell of a nice car!
I love those OEM wheels Randy, a set of Hankook Optimo whitewalls would really make the rims POP!
The caprice holds a special place in my heart. My uncle had a real bad wreck in his years ago and I do mean bad. He was on uneven pavement and lost control and went through trees. That car saved his life he walked away. Police were shocked.
I love these old bubble caprices cant wait to see it all fixed up 👍
Wait a min keep it Randy,I love those cars.Loud exhaust and loud paint buddy
Give her the new lease on life brother ,man brother my daughter wants a caprice after she drove mine and its not as bad as people think economically,my caprice gets way better gas mileage with a full tune up than my daughters stock 02trailblazer with a 150k and a fresh tune up.plus im a fat guy and there fat people friendly 😂
This man is one of the best car UA-camrs that I watch. Love the content, keep up the great work!
cat youtuber mmmkaaay car*
Agreed
Car**
He always produces some great content. They quality of the videos is phenomenal in my opinion.
Indeed
When our cab co. bought the caprice with the 4.3 V8 it was a gutless turd, the 305 was the perfect motor for the caprice 170 HP and at least 300 ft. lbs of torque and a joy to drive!
I love big old 4 door v8 cars, they are my favorite.
I would fix it up, should be able to find a hood and trunk lid cheap. Give it a better exhaust for more power. I think it will make you money in content!
Wait and see how many miles are on it and go from there.
She needs a little love, would love to see her back to her best 👍, exhaust defo 👍
I rode one of these on a several week long vacation trip from Florida to new Orleans and back in the early nineties as a nearly new low mileage rental car. (it was a double upgrade because they didn't have any other vehicle left) it was painted in metallic red and the inside in red velvet. Front bench was like a Sofa and so was the whole ride. Acceleration was worse than my 1.5l diesel Passat I had home in Europe at the time. But who cares? Really a smooth ride and a ton of space in the car. We had a Cat Stevens cassette we bought in Miami and played it a lot while driving (father and son and some of his other greatest Hits) really had a good time back then. Thanks for the video 😊
Keep it , caprices hold a special place in my heart , I was heartbroken when the blue one got sold
Candy Brandywine would go great with the red interior
For sure keep that beauty Randy! A nice throaty exhaust nothing over the top, a fresh white paint job and cleaned up she'll be easy on the eyes and ears!
It's definitely worth saving. It comes from the era when gm made a few good and reliable cars. You really need to do a tune up, fix the cluster (I think it just needs a fuse or resistor), stitch the back seats. A few little odds and ends which I don't think will cost much. The only mod I would do is mufflers.
I’m not surprised you bought this lol
Loved my 9C1 fix her up Randy this is one of GM's best rides ever.
How many miles you got on it and what year
Hey Randy. I just want to tell you that I really like how you love those old real American cars, those who did deferred the streets of American cities to the rest of the world. I love those cars, and respect you breaning them at life again, just save them cause it's a shame to find those beauty's at the jinks yards. Peace.......;)
keep it, please!!!! A Caprice must be saved!!! she deserves a second life a as automotive star when electric cars begin to be a nightmare to petrolheads. Greetings from Spain!!!
Honestly just fix the interior, peeling paint, clean rims.
I really didn’t expect you to buy that car I’m so excited
I'd keep it as a fun beater.....
@@nicknorris3002 and why are you so butthurt about it
Absolutely keep it!! I would say mild exhaust, clean the interior and hopefully replace that rear dash, nothing to flashy on the paint. It’s an amazing car and your right I haven’t seen one on the road in years. Someone will definitely buy it.
i am from a gulf country. i had 88, 92, 03, 06, 13 & a 16 Caprice.. these rides are too awesome to drive. Just throw some money & she will roar
I'm the second owner since 2000 of a 1996 Impala SS and Love it!
I would love to see you go back to your “roots” and do some cheap repairs, DIY detail and flip at IAA. Then break out the file and do a P&L.
for almost 30 years, it is still in very good condition, good purchase keep it up 👍👍
Best two years 94 and 95 LT Caprice. Police packages. Fastest production Chevy package for police. Trunks turned into fish bowls. New gasket for the truck brand new. Front brakes over heat just pull off the plastic covers in front of the wheels. Hell of a whole shot on the police package and top end was deadly.
Hey Randy love the Caprice bubble ,awesome buy and yes dude dont know what hes talking about the everyone knows the 4.3 was a v8 in the caprice.i have a 92 caprice but mines the 305 with a 109k original miles n i love it.most comfortable car ive ever owned .
Needs an exhaust, detailed and just to be loved!
Keep it ! Paint it black , I think it will be good with the red interior , tint the windows , add exhaust and call it a day
I think that car like outher old car's has character and you can tell that it's a Caprice unlike many new basic and midrange cars nowadays.
Keep that thing man I remember driving one of those when I worked at a taxi company back in 2008
I drove a '76 Caprice Classic when I was in college back in the early '80's. Loved the way it rode, but hated paying for the gas. Have fun with it.
Bring it back. It’s a great old car. It deserves a little love. Enjoy your videos.
Learned a trick in Mexico i took my 88 camaro to get the dash fixed they sanded the cracks and used bondo and painted it looked awesome and still does 15 years later
The Maroon from the 96 Impala SS would look good on it
Back off Randy
Out of the red Corvette !!
Nice Randy! Can’t Wait For More Swamp Thing Content!!!
I think you should set a budget between $1,000 and $2,500 and make a high school kid's first hot rod, doing as much as you can with pure elbow grease and used/budget parts. If you paint it, grey satin
Keep it, fix it and paint it a Majestic Blue or Metallic Gold!
With a red interior? That would not be pretty
Love the Caprice!
Start with the cluster.
An ex had a 99 caprice classic, that was a great car, nice ride, good handling, had the get-up-and-go when needed. one day some idiots stopped beside us at a light and the passenger leaned out the window and said "Nice car." we said thanks, then they both said "Wanna race for pinks?" we just shook our heads and said no, they spun their tires and took off when the light turned green, half a mile up the road their car was upside down in the ditch on the side of the road, they lost control and slid off the road, they were both standing beside the wreck so I guess they were ok, we just drove by slow and laughed at them and their stupidity, my ex shouted at them "That's why you keep the racing at the tracks!".
She is a fantastic daily driver. She would be a great car for a family and she will run forever. This is a peace of history and for a average family she would be perfect.
May u plz give her a new glory I think she deserves it
Fix speedometer exust detail and sell it double your money
Randy: Many of us had a big. luxurious piece of Detroit iron back in the day, and there are very few of them left now. Most of today's jelly bean shaped cars just don't have the individuality that this Caprice has. It would be great content to see this car fixed up & made to look great again. It's not necessary to turn it into a show car, just a nice, old land yacht once again.
If you’d fix this thing up I’d watch it for sure. This thing deserves to be brought back to it’s former glory considering the mechanical condition it’s in.
All cars were R134 AC by 1994. They might have switched over from R12 around the time that GM changed the Caprice body style for the 1991 model year.
I've owned two 91 Caprices and they both came with R12 from the factory. One was converted to R134 when it was exported to Germany because they wont ship the cars with full refrigerant in it. Once in Germany, they converted the system to R134 for environmental reasons. The other Caprice was actually imported through the Netherlands and apparently they didn't care and filled it back up with R12. It was still running with R12 when I sold it 2 years ago turning your boogers into ice bricks!
Great content Randy, good Idea with the Caprice. I was gonna say the skies in the recent Copart videos were amazing!
I would keep it. Put a nice exhaust on it, bring her back to factory lookin. New paint and a nice wax job to top it off.
I drove a 87 Caprice Classic 9 passenger station wagon. Had the Oldsmobile 307 Roller motor loved that car.
R12 uses the threaded connection so that’s defiantly 134a
94 was the first year of R134
@@sccarguy8242 of memory serves I believe some vehicles were using it in the late 80s but not common
Love that LS engine, clean it up and sell her as is.
My dream car was to own a 1994 chevy caprice wish I had my driver's license so if I had the money I could come down and buy it off ya like I had so much plans for one when I owned one there awesome cars and actually back then they were police cars and always been interested in one for the longest and hey congratulations on getting the car. My dad actually had one when I was really little.
You have to mod this one. I remember the blue one from last year and it got sold! Now is the time and this car is becoming more classic than ever
It was funny when he said I don’t wanna make a impala ss clone I was like it already kinda looks like one
It looks awesome! Keep it and fix it up, i liked the video
Would be nice to keep it, do all technical maintenance that is needed for a few years of driving it without problems and gift it to a family in need. Crowdfund if needed.
Let’s have fun with this Randy!!! Hood, trunk replacement, fix the rest of the body. As for paint, either keep it white or maybe black. Catback exhaust, cold air intake (if available), window tint all around. I would even maybe swap out the front grille for the impala ss grille and black out all the chrome trim. Full interior detail and call it a day. That would be my approach.
Never knew a 4.3 v8 existed!
Randy now you need find a deal on mid 90's roadmaster to go with it
Paint it ruby red metallic
Will be watching rebuilt videos of this proper sedan. Loveit.
Bring her back to the glory days
The capris that I had when I was a cop 150 was like a boat
You got a steal on that caprice they sell anywhere in-between 1.2k-7k here in texas
My parents had a 1996 Caprice in Baby Blue.. That thing would get up and move! Had the LT1 in it. Very nice old car. I loved riding in that thing.
My mom & I had a 11984 box Caprice when I was a kid. I had NEVER been un a 9C1 Caprice, but I used to see the 9C1 Caprices around.
Keep it but get rid of the Firestone. I had the 721 on an Olds 98 and they were constantly separating.
Keep it .. had my 94 for 4 years n stills runs .. i think I’ll never sell it
Definitely my grandfather had a gray 94 with the rear skirts. Lt1 v8. Was such a beautiful car.
I drove a dark cherry metallic 95 4.3L caprice with the same color leather interior from 2011-2015 when it was hit by a coworker. Started out as an 88K mile one owner daily driver and in 2013 I installed a 2 pump hydraulic setup
Hit the like. Would keep it stock and just clean it up .
Randy: love the Caprice. I was only in a taxi version, we had a 1977 Caprice.
PS I would not do the body, but fix what needs fixing or cleaning. I love those old style wheels as well.
@@jamesschultz7550 reprogram the chip this is a 5k car at the swap meet here
Sell
Keep it and restore it, it would be great to see that car being fully restored back to the way it was when it left the factory and keep the same colour
I had a couple of these back in the day. Great car. I'd clean it up, fix the small dings and maybe a tint, but keep it as factory as possible. Then I'd keep it for a while and drive it around. Then when you want to move on, put it up for sale.
Fix the speedometer display, get it detailed, and flip it.
Hey! You went with the Capris! Cool. (I do thing the mustang is cool though too...) The poll results were definitely pointing towards the capris.
1. repaint it white to save money 2. dual exhaust with thrush super turbos with custom dual exhaust tips 3. powdercoat the mags black 4. dark tint 5. fix that one spot on the chair with exact color vinyl (to save money) 6. fix rear bumper/front bumper ..7. Throw 4 - 225/70/15 tires on all fours and sell her!
Think of all of the great American men and women just like you and me that worked in the GM factories for 20, 30 maybe even 40 years of their lives to put together these cars day in and day out. Do it for them, bring this classic back to its former glory, I can just tell it is so happy to just be driven again, give it a second (or third) shot at life!
I remember those cars they where great cars i say keep it and fix it i would watch every video you make on the caprice paint i say keep it the classic white
White was the worst color for paint peel for years even in to the 2000s seems like to me.
Side note: a replacement overlay is about $50 and you can get the matching interior paint from the same company and it do great.
