So...how gutless is that Caprice you own? And how gutless was that Monte? 
I owned a 1973 Chrysler New Yorker for a time...it was in incredibly good shape and was a beast on the road (440 V-8), but the gas mileage was just awful (9 mpg in the city). I switched cars with my stepdad after 6 months--took his 1987 Celebrity. Good thing too--the tranny crapped out on the New Yorker later that summer. I wound up selling the Celebrity and buying a 1980 Monte Carlo. |
I like the caprice, it's unfortunate that the last year they made it was in '96. I guess I'll have to go with a crown vic next.
Gutless? I'm not sure what you're asking but the Monte had a 305, and I replaced the 305 in the caprice with a 350.
Having a full size car has payed off so many times in the past that I just can't conceive of not having one.
