Default 94 Caprice

This weekend I will be heading up to Michigan to look at a '94 Caprice 9C1. It has 140k miles and no visible body damage. All for $2800. Good deal? I can either get that or a '96 with a more miles on it. Both 9C1 ex-cop cars. Im leaning towards getting the 94 simply because of the OBD1 computer. Do any obvious problems rise to your head about this year car?

94s had the non-vented opti-spark. that's about it. 2800 is a killer deal, especially if the motor is sound and has been cared for properly. Good luck!

That is basically the same body style as the Imapala right? Time to start modding that biotch!!!! You have a LOT more room under the hood than the f-bosies.
