Awesome overview, i appreciate how you touched on characteristics nobody talks about, but all this stuff matters, nobody considers most of it, the lack of rear passenger ammenities, and how your current headunit is completely unusable.
You've got terminals for jump starting the car up front as well. When you opened the bonnet they were on your right side of the engine compartment. The positive terminal has a red plastic cover over it and the negative is bolted to the guard right near it with no cover.
In Australia k this was sold as a luxury car. Why not go online and get the parts from EBay or online (Australian) parts breaker, like the side markers on your fenders in Australia are actually LED indicator repeaters. Get the luxury leather seats, the proper center console & carpets.
Awesome man. I feel like with that car, anything you do to it, can exponentially add value. I’m thinking about buying one of these. Way cool muscle car. Rare too. I think these will go up in value soon
To open the back doors from the inside and the manual lock just takeoff the door panel in and connect the cables it’s all there in the back windows to go up and down is a trap door under the passenger seat or two different connections just swap them out
Mistake people make modding these cars (or most cars in general) is that they make them too loud. Louder you make the car, less you drive it, just the way it works out. Getting cops to not turn their head is a better goal, having a drone on the highway and having to eggshell it out of stop lights for fear there is a cop somewhere gets really annoying. Sure you can make a cool youtube video, thats about it. Been there done that myself... i like quiet sleepers now, they get driven. Also keep in mind more cam = less MPG. Would rather have better mpg myself and 400 whp then try to get every HP out of it.
I have 2011 P7B Vic. Bought it with 62k now at 327k Most reliable car I have owned. Panther platform rocks. I wouldn’t mind owning one of these caprices too.
Now I never owned a caprice or bought one, just about the same body style of Impala, the 2012 Police Interceptor version, the 9C1 suffers from a lot of the backing up issues mentioned, if for whatever reason it helps anyone just treat it like a truck when backing in and take as much space as you need to actually get it in and you'll be set. Just experience from someone to whom might need it in the future to avoid hitting a pole like the video.
On My VF L88 2015 Calais V. I fitted a Harrop Cold air intake and 1 3/4 inch extractors ceramic coated along with oxygen sensor extensions, high flow cats and dual 2.5 inch pipes. Updated software (for the cats). every time I put the foot down it just roars to life and as a 70 YO I just have a big grin. Love it.
Should put the original intake back on it doesnt effect the power you can completely remove the filter makes no difference maf tunes it out. Just adds a vacuum noise. Paper filter comes on all cars hellcats 1600hp bugati everything. Oiled gauze doesnt filter enough sand and dirt ends up inside oil and valve / Ring seals
It will last 2-300k miles, no problem. all the parts are available, no problems we have all the parts available, we build solid cars, if not they do not last in Australia
Did u buy yours from a guy in coco Beach? That's where I bought mine, looks like the same paint. Get a Bluetooth transmitter plugs in the lighter easy peezy and very cheap
If this was my car I would definitely put those steel cop car wheels back on it with the center hub caps,,,but you can have wider steel wheels made with those same hub caps,, with some drag radials I would lower but with the steel wheels,,, those would look so much better than what you put on it,,this car would look menacing with some wider steel cop car type wheels lowered,,,you took the look away 😮
Because they’re worth every penny if you’ve ever driven a hood one then you know. I got one here in ga bone stock with 54k mi and I can smoke any car on the road 95% of the time
mate get your self some side led turn signals /side markers as in australian cars that is where we have turn signals..look good too n cheap also as for ur consol plastics are the same as the ve commodore cheap as
The appeal of this car is that it's a rare police car. The last thing I would do is make it a non-police car with big engine mods and the like. And those generic rims are awful. The originals were perfect for the car. People don't appreciate good cars.

Killer Ride!!! Enjoy that torque!! Shoot, paint doesn’t make the car go faster…

Paddles are available and a lot of other issues, very well built for Australia, brakes in oz are bemo.

I just bid on one. Hope I get it. Where can you find interior pieces?
11-13 can use g8 interior and 14-17 can use Chevy ss interior
I’m glad I watch this/ it’s a car you gotta love and be invested in
It’s a easy past for me ! Good luck to you guys getting it tho 🫵🏾🫵🏾💪🏾

What size tires did you use for the front and rear?
i found one yesterday and it still has the cage and bars in the back lol not sure i wanna remove it
Sounds great
My new one sounds even better!
I post to be buying one I need sound tips
In oz no rev limit only KP limit at 245kilometer.
It will last 2-300k miles, no problem. all the parts are available, no problems we have all the parts available, we build solid cars, if not they do not last in Australia
I want one... a poor man's SS sedan.
In Australia they were higher up than the SS with the Caprice and CapriceV was top of the range Holden they were more expensive than the SS new

what kind of gas mileage do you get daily driving it?
Around 16 to 18 in city when driving hard.
I have a Caprice myself and it gets 22 Mpg on the highway for me
@@tough2012 Yeah I get something close to that on the highway but when I’m heavy on the pedal she gets thirsty.
Have done the DOD delete?
i love this video im bidding on one of these at the police auction hope i win it
But my car I sell it to you cheap😆
Would you travel the country in this?
For the fun of it yes, the cost of gas would be incredible though
@@midlifecrisis583 the highway miles are terrible? I planned on traveling state to state in mine. The p70-p71 are impressive on the highway
Why the he'll does it have a Rev limiter? Police dept wouldn't do that ? Crazy
The faster you go the louder it gets 👍
The only major problem you are likely to encounter is if you need a new windscreen, not sure they will be easy to get in the USA.
even safelite carries the windshield for the Caprice.
Yes. You can get the replacement wind screen but it's like 2K.
Yes people keep saying u can’t get parts

I like the SS wheels better
would love to grab one of these as a Daily but people want stupid money for them in south florida.

This is not a LS it's a LL7 that run on e85
