Purchased my Caprice in 2005 with a bad 305 from my friends neighbor who's daughter didn't know what oil was. I replaced the 305 with a 1991 police 350 and drove the Caprice everywhere (LA, Vegas, Reno, Canada, etc). 24 mpg highway fuel mileage, stump pulling torque thanks to a torque RV cam I installed with the 350 when installing. Solid as a rock and floats like a butterfly and super easy low maintenance costs (wish I could say the same for my newer BMW 3 series and X3). My wife knows I will keep it forever (met her in it while completing grad school in 2008). Her parents love the ride and borrow it when in town LOL! I own a 1963,'65 and a 1970 Impala also (my '70 is my personal favorite and owned since high school) . You can't go wrong with the 1977-90 Caprice 5.0 V8 and above.

The performance of this car is great. It has a powerful 305 5 liter V8, that really puts out. Another great performance feature i like is the 4 10'' disk brakes that have helped in many situations that called for heavy braking. The handling is interesting in that the power steering is amazing but the car handles a bit like a boat, but can still react when u need it. So far i have owned the car for close to 10000 miles and i have only needed to replace one blown fuse and fixed a rivet that snapped on the accelerator. This car has a very smooth quiet ride and the suspension it has makes it feel as if you are riding on a cloud. The appearance on the exterior tells a story of power and elegance, that is very pleasing to any eye. Other than some rust spots it is a very good looking car. The interior apperance is good although and the seats are possibly as comfortable as a lazyboy. The sound system was good and was made even better when i replaced it with a more modern system. The gas mileage on this car is amazing for the engine size. It gets 26 highway and 20 city. This is a very fun car to drive and would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for an older car that has some serious power and looks to match.

Performance isn't that great stock, it has body roll and 273 gears in the rear so they don't move until highway speeds Quality is great, I mean its a Chevy come on Gas Mileage is good for a full size car at like 20mpg, you get like 500 miles out of a tank Appearance is good without the fake final top Fun factor can be fun, you just gotta know how to drive it

performance- 305 chevy small bock 190 hp 210 torq. i never found out how fast it acctully was due to the slipping in 2nd transmission but i did have fun and it was fast. build- perfect, only problem i had was the transmission. appearance- awesome after 32 years the white paint and the top where in perfect condition. cost- 10 dollars a day dring 35 miles round trip with a lead foot at every light and or honda fun factor- yes extremely fun even with the 305 best times- racing ricers, and trying to hear them rev over a single glass pack exhaust ... ahahah so fun

great car. smooth running. huge car, so you feel like you own the road when you drive it. it had the same body and i think the same powertrain as the camaro, so it was quite a time to drive. it really seemed to float around the curves and was very reliable, as you would expect from a chevy.
