Today is new car day

[Horse]

Yep - you read correctly.


I am going to meet the PO at the Harts truck stop tonight at 6pm.


What car did I buy you may ask?
Its been a personal favorite since it came out in 1996.
It does come from the GM stable.


Now guess.

You could get 35 year old Chevrolet Corvair wagons in 1996. It must be that.

Enjoy your new Lakewood, man!

Congrads, nice big car. I like those cars a lot, and with a supercharger, your looking at an M5 killer. GM parts bin too, so no problem finding parts.

17mpg City ! For 10k, I would have got a TY. But to each his own. Car looks very clean. Goto love a big V8. -B.

TY doesnt have Airbags or ABS

Good car non-the less - but this ISS is CHERRY!

So you've seen it in person first. Excellent. If you are planning on modding it I have a little bit of knowledge of the platform I can share.

[Horse]

mods - dunno - its so sweet and unmolested I may just leave it be.

Only mods are sequential taillights, front badge and Borla IIRC.

But - its always a possibility.
What ya got?

The ECU is very tempermental. I once saw a guy go through two of them in one night on the dyno trying to reflash. Find a guy who is good to do it for you if you have any plans. The heads from what I've heard are kind of restrictive. The highest hp LT I've seen was in the 350whp neighborhood and that was a firehawk. There is a decent ram induction system that every Impala I've seen has around here. Not sure who makes it but it looks pretty good.

If you are happy with the get up an go, which it sounds like you are, don't touch it.
