Back from California

Post by 79sevillecoupe »

Hello Everyone.
It’s been a while since I have been behind the wheel of a caprice or even posted. I used to own a 2014 Caprice that I bought with 1200 miles on it (never in service) back in March of 2017. I know, a rare find. Unfortunately, it was totaled in an accident in November of 2017 with 6900 miles. Fast forward to March of 2021, and I am now the proud owner of a 2011 Caprice 9c3 with 47k miles(never in service). I’m looking forward to learning from the community and trying to add to the knowledge of the Chevy caprice. The car has been in the caprice community since it was purchased and I intend to keep it here. She has definitely found a home for life. Glad to have found this forum.

The car was tuned to 600 hp before I got it. Then the previous owner installed a stage 1 cam, but never had it retuned. I have had it retuned to run proper, and she’s in the ballpark of 650 hp at the crank. Haven’t had a chance to dyno it yet, but that will be coming in the next couple of months.

Very nice! I'm not a fan of silver but this one is more metallic smoke. Looks good on it.

I believe that is called Alto Gray. Looks good in person. I actually got to ride in that car a few years back.
