Up for sale is a one family owned 1989 Chevy Caprice, 4dr 305 V8 sedan. My parents bought this new with 23 miles on the clock, it now has 306004, and it's had quite a life. Bought in Texas, it's never seen snow, just a few hurricanes. Was driven by Mom until 1995 when they got a minivan, then Dad drove it (alot) until 2004 when it was my turn. It was driven daily until the spring of 2009 when the trans finally decided to take a break, it has since been rebuilt and has less than 800 miles on it, brand new torque converter. After that we decided to start refreshing and rebuilding it, has new carpet, headliner, the front seats are a salvage yard find hence why they don't match color-wise. We replaced the wiring harness around this time and since then it hasn't really started, we think the problem's either at the alternator or starter. The engine had valve stem seals done at around 225XXX miles, when it starts, this motor will either idle like a champ or throw you back in the seat and break the back end loose in a jiffy, lots of life left in it. The car is all original, I'm pretty sure its even sitting on the same shocks it rolled off the line with (Dad was good about oil and filters and batteries, but thats about it) so the suspension sags a little but still incredibly glass smooth. The body has a few small surface spots on it, I tried to get pictures of all of them, the front grill and nosepiece are also salvage yard finds after a small accident I had, all it did was take out the headlight and crack the plastic. It's been an awesome car to have and drive but Dad's getting busier with work and I'm fixing to move out of state. With a little work this would be a great candidate for a restoration, daily driver, or even a sleeper, which is what I kinda had in the back of my mind.
