7 sec. 1/8 mile LT1 Caprice I have a 1994 chevrolet caprice, white with blue cloth interior. It has the same LT1 engine that came equipped in the Impala SS's w/ 170k miles. All the options are still in place, a/c and everything works. I've been driving this car daily for about the last year and it runs perfect. I purchased the car from my grandfather who purchased it new from Harry Folger Chevrolet in Pilot Mountain NC.
Heres the list of mods it has to achieve 7.80's in the 1/8 mile @ 89 mph:
NX 175 shot single nozzle wet kit
MSD digital window switch
MSD digital 6 ignition box
NGK TR6 plugs
Jegs 2.5" dual catback system (currently dumped at axle, but have the tailpipes)
deleted cats
4.10 gears
"Homemade" 3.5" aluminum CAI
Underdrive crank pulley
Custom PCMforless tune
walbro 255 in-tank fuel pump
M&H Racemaster 275/50R17 drag radials
Precision Vigilante 3800 stall w/ triple disc lockup
Carolina Performance Transmission Level 3 4L60e
The stall alone cost over $950 after the triple disc option. The CPT level 3 transmission sells for $1900 using your existing core.
To make the car look nice, I installed a set of 17" Impala SS wheels and painted them charcoal. It has new Fusion front tires on the front and the rears are probably 75%. 2" lower springs by ST spring are installed. It also has new 20% tint.
Now that you know the good, heres the bad:
The car has two dents in it.
The trim on the front bumper needs to be replaced.
It wouldn't hurt if the front bumper was painted.
The speedo sometimes doesn't want to work (its digital, and a common prob.)
The ABS doesn't work because I installed a gear set that isn't compatable with abs on the b-bodies 8.5" ten bolt.
Overall, the paint and body is pretty good. A good clean up job would do wonders for it. The interior is very clean except for a torn up spot in the carpet on the passengers side. That is also a common wear problem on the B-bodies.
The transmission and stall have only been in the car for about six months and probably only have about 6,000 miles on them. I could have opted for a less expensive transmission/stall combo but I wanted something that would last behind spray in a 4400 lb ship LOL
I'm asking $4000 as it is. I also have headers, mildly worked LT1 aluminum heads, and a small cam that can be included and/or installed for additional money. I'll try to get a couple of pics posted as soon as possible. If interested just call the shop, 704-660-5843. Thanks for looking.

I'll try to get a few more pics posted when I can. One dent is in the center of the trunk lid at the bowtie emblem that covers the lock. Its hardly noticeable. The other is pretty large and is located behind the passenger side rear wheel. Theres no paint damage, and I think paintless dent repair would fix it for about $100 bucks. I may go ahead and have this fixed for whoever buys it.
