    Quick hello to all you SW owners

    My drive is a 87 Caprice Classic, never thought I would own such a beast but 6 years ago this Canadian rust free beauty was on it's way to the junk yard for parting out or crushing so I paid the owner $600.00.

    Previous owner loved to oil soak every part of the car that would be exposed to our Canadian winters and road salt and it worked.

    Car had 160K (100,00 miles) when I bought it and now has 180K (111,000) and outside of new rear suspension and exhaust has been one of the most dependable rides I own.

    Car came with the Oldsmobile 307 four barrel, bulletproof.

    Cheers,

    Frank

    Welcome.

    Love to hear when cars are snatched from the grips of the Grim Reaper! :yup: I saved my T-Bird from a similar fate last year buying it from the yard.
