The Zeta platform based Caprice is only available in the US as a pursuit rated police package vehicle. There are no civilian counterparts available unless one was privately imported but I have never seen one.Caprice Cop wrote:What size engines do your civilian models have in them?

Re: New Guy with a PPV
CC, if you go to our "links" section you'll see that I have a quick pre-defined search for Autotrader set up. You can search dealer inventory and private ads all around the US.
There's a number of ways around the GM sale ban. Buying cars as "used" or "certified" off GM dealer lots is the way a lot of people here have obtained cars. My car was a GM corporate fleet demo, sold through the GM dealer auction in Sarasota, FL to Marone Chevrolet in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (before they became AutoNation), then consigned to a dealer directly outside of Atlanta, GA. It had 9K miles on it when I purchased in mid 2012.
Also... these cars have the full police powertrain just as cars delivered to agencies do. Most of the owners here obtained their cars with 6.0l engines, I think there's a few 3.6's kicking around but I'm honestly not sure. 99% of the cars here are PPV's, there's one or two Utes in the bunch amongst our users that went through Randy's operation in Denver.
