2013 Caprice 9C1 with 67 miles

Post by PPV »

Being partial to Chevys I've always wanted to have a V8 driver other than a pickup truck. I really didn't want a camaro and the Chevy SS is fairly pricy. I got a bug in me and while doing some car searching the PPV kept popping up as a good option. Most were PPVs that were in service and had lots of use. I came across a dealer in Massachusetts who had three 2013 9C1s in stock listed as used with almost no miles. I ended up buying a black one with 67 miles on it with an I service date of December 2014.

I plan on doing a bunch of the common civilian and speed upgrades to it and plan on posting my progress here. I'll try and upload some photos of the car when I picked it up in early July 2015.

Anyone have a clue why I'm getting an error "image file you are trying to attach is invalid" when loading photos. I'm using safari on an iPhone. Perhaps that's the issue?

Possibly. The board will accept a variety of image files, most of the time Jpeg is the flavor of the day. Or it could be a file size issue as well.....

Welcome to the club!
I bought a black 2013 as well with 53 miles on it. I just had mine in for warranty work. The window rubbers were all jacked up and the front passenger side window was actually riding on the outside of the window rubber track.

The reason I mention this is yours has probably been sitting for a while like mine did, might wanna double check yours.

Can't wait to read about your modifications, and I hope you get some pics up soon!

Thanks for the heads-up! Dealership replaced all four of my window jams, way less wind noise now.

Thanks again.
