1994 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 police LT1

Chevrolet Caprice 1994 Description

I'll try to keep this short. For sale 1994 Caprice 9C1.
After 2 years of fighting the notion, I have very reluctantly decided that I will attempt to sell my 1994 Caprice 9C1 that I have owned since 2001. The usual reasons like most red blooded car guys when they come to terms that life changes over time and so the priorities must change with it.
In summary, this is a native rust free Texas car built in Arlington, TX and began life as a Texas Highway Patrol car until the year 2000. It still has the DPS asset number in the door jamb. I don't know who the second owner was but they painted the car pearl white and halfway attempted an Impala SS clone with some terrible after market wheels. I bought the car one year later in 2001 at a car dealership in San Antonio with 105,000 miles on it. It was super clean and had an immaculate interior. One hole only in the roof. Texas DPS as a rule does not install spotlights on their vehicles. Engine is an LT1 with the GU4 3.08 open diff.A brand new GM service replacement transmission assembly 4L60E SRTA was installed in 2002 (117,000). This trans has been in the car ever since and has performed flawlessly and still does to this day.
Fast forward to 2011 (211,000) the car had served me well as a daily driver for the past 10 years . I always thought I would keep this car indefinitely and started the process of restoring it. I started buying up NOS GM parts by the droves back in 2009 as many were getting discontinued. New steering wheel, new lights, trim, wheels, rubber, all of the police specific 9C1 upgraded parts and too many more to list here. In 2011 I removed the original LT1 engine that was still running like a top by the way but leaking oil out of every possible place but the valve covers. I purchased a "stock replacement" LT1 engine from Golen Engines on the east coast, they are know for their specialty in the LTX and LSX worlds. This engine has the aluminum GM heads and slightly more aggressive cam than the B Body. I installed it and reused no parts from the old engine at all except the intake manifold. New opti, new accessories, new exhaust manifolds, new injectors. You get the point, everything down to the green silicone 9C1 hoses to the oil cooler, oil cooler lines, orings, to the smallest vacuum line was replaced with new GM parts. This engine was tuned on a local dyno with 250 RWHP and 315 FT/LBS to the wheels. Tuner figures 20 percent loss through the drive line for approx. 315 HP 393 FT/LBS crank. It is currently tuned for 91+ octane.

The bad
-Paint is terrible (Car was garage kept from 2004-2011 and 2013 to present - Most damage occurred 2011-2012 when the car was outside while I built my shop. Clear is coming off hood, roof and trunk. Paint is cracking on roof near glass and in places on trunk lid.
-Trunk leaks water during hard rainstorms if left outside
-A/C compressor has small front seal leak, has to be recharged every 2-3 years ever since the engine was replaced.
-HVAC system works normal except will not direct air to floor when put on heat setting. (Heat does work and core was replaced when engine was)
-Front and rear suspension overhauled 10 years ago around 150,000. Still drives great but would benefit from fresh parts and shocks)
-Volt meter reads way high for some reason but alternator is putting out 14.5 volts.-both rear door panels and passenger door panel have one small hair line crack each above arm rest
I drove the car this past summer to New Mexico and back. on vacation. I would get in this car and trust it to drive anywhere as it sits right now.

I am in law enforcement and occasionally used the vehicle to work extra jobs back in the day. If the buyer is not LE, emergency lights and siren amp will be removed but console will stay.

Thanks for looking.
