darndot's 92 Caprice Wagon (New Photo 8/12/08)
I bought a 92 Caprice Wagon.
 It has a 5.7 V8 with 111,000 miles. A sewing machine repair man owned it, and passed away recently. My plans are to make it a daily driver/interstate cruiser. I am going to swap out the grill and rims, and make it a Impala SS Wagon. Future Mods: Radio, Tinted Windows, Impala Rims, Keyless Entry, Impala Grill. I think I will leave it blue, but it will need a paint job sometime.

Yeah, maybe..... But ... I'm not too keen on the bubble body style. I'd rather have one of the box bodies ...

I thought of you earlier today ... was looking through online ads and found a '94 (er, I think it was a '94) Caprice wagon with the Impala SS front end ... looked VERY good, btw .Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve.pacemaker WRMNshowcase.lego.HO.model.MCs.RT.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "I wanna drive" ...

Rats. I just spent the afternoon taking out the radiator. Gald I found that one out the easy way, and not along side the road.

Re: darndot's 92 Caprice Wagon
Somebody has a quote on their signature. Chevy's run badly longer than most imports run at all.
I am hoping the radiator shop can fix it instead of replacing the whole thing. I would like to spend the money on something else like rims.

Re: darndot's 92 Caprice Wagon
That happened on my Roadmaster right after I bought it....
I had a seam starting to leak when cold of all things...so I bought a new Spectra radiator that was plastic & aluminum...I replaced all of the coolant hoses as well when at it. Then the new radiator leaked at the transcooler lines and I broke a trans line while R&Ring the 2nd time!!! All in all I spent a week's worth of evenings messing around. I should have just sent the old copper one out for a repair, but the core fins were starting to ash out...  Check Rockauto.com, even ebay for a comparison on the radiator... Quote:

Why slice through the wind when you can just punch a hole in it?  Congratulations on the wagon, darndot! Looks like a great find.
