I dont think i would ever use a motor out of a car that had an accident like that... Unless i knew the person walked away from it... i think the owner if they didnt walk away would be pissed that I took that from his car... and bad things would inturn happen to me..

It could use some bondo work but nothing that isn't feasible.

its only one of the greatest horror/scifi movies ever made. Christine. It was based on a Stephen King novel. Basically the car is posessed and kills people.

well it could be modified. lt1's can go over 155 pretty easily but i was just saying idk of any normal cop car especially the old ones in that vid that can go 150+

well they are caprices and IIRC the LT1 caprice was the fastest cop car at that time. also i don't trust the info in that video 100% because there is no such place as Buckeye county, AZ. Buckeye is a town west of phoenix on I80 but its still in maricopa county. So if they got that wrong, they may have gotten the speed wrong and he may have not really been going 165 when those caprices were chasing him.

I know someone that has one and I drove it when it was new. To this day I doubt it has 1000 miles on it. Felt like an LT1 car below 5K RPM but did not run out of breath above 5.5K RPM. Really felt like a LS1 car. Very nice SS.
