This 1989 Chevrolet Caprice is a former police car that is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and it is finished in blue over blue upholstery. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 15″ steel wheels, chrome-finished bumpers, an ECU tuning chip, an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, an aftermarket driveshaft, aftermarket intake and exhaust components, a replacement front split-bench seat, and a factory cassette stereo as well as revised suspension, braking, and steering components added by the 9C1 Police Package. The car is said to have operated in Farmington, Connecticut, before it was decommissioned, and it was acquired by the seller’s father in 2001. Work performed within the last three years is said to have included replacing the climate-control blower motor, ignition coil, alternator, distributor, spark plugs, and various brake components as well as overhauling the fuel system and converting the air-conditioning system to utilize R134a refrigerant. This Caprice is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of his father with a clean Carfax report and a clean Connecticut title in the name of the seller’s father.
The seller states the car was repainted blue with silver pinstripes in 2001. Features include chrome-finished bumpers, dual exhaust outlets, and silver-finished trim. The seller notes dents in the right-front fender and the left-rear door.
Steel 15″ wheels are fitted with chrome-finished hubcaps and wear 225/70 Firestone Firehawk PV41 tires. The Police Package added revised suspension, steering, and braking components. Service in September 2022 reportedly included changing the rear brake drums, shoes, and wheel cylinders along with the brake fluid.
The rear bench seat is upholstered in blue vinyl, while the replacement front split-bench seat is upholstered in blue cloth. Woodgrain trim accents the color-coordinated dashboard and door panels, and appointments include rubber floor mats and a factory cassette stereo as well as power windows and door locks. Per the seller, the climate-control blower motor was replaced in 2022. The seller notes a crack in the dashboard along with detached areas of the headliner. The air-conditioning system was converted to utilize R134a refrigerant in preparation for the sale.
The two-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap, and it frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer along with a fuel level gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 99k miles, approximately 22k of which were added by the seller.
The 5.7-liter V8 is equipped with electronic fuel injection and has reportedly been modified with an Edelbrock intake manifold, a throttle body spacer, a Jet Performance Products ECU tuning chip, an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, and a K&N air filter. The seller states that a PerTronix ignition coil was installed in 2020, at which time the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel filter, distributor, and spark plugs were replaced. Work in 2022 is said to have included fitting a remanufactured alternator, replacing the battery, and changing the oil, while the windshield washer pump was reportedly replaced in June 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller states that the car is equipped with an aftermarket driveshaft along with aftermarket headers, a high-flow catalytic converter, and a pair of Flowmaster mufflers. The underside was reportedly cleaned and coated in 2001.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Connecticut starting in 1996. A gap in entries is visible between August 2001 and May 2009.
