Hello everyone.
Greetings from Poland. I'm proud owner of '93 Chevy Caprice LS1 which I bought Chicago in 2005 and '92 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon (european version) - I bought it last Saturday. I'll post some photos in 7 days - rules.
Here is my baby wagon
Here is my second baby - the mad one
Sorry for the quality - I messed up my photo library

If how much you make from the sale is figured out by post count then I'm going to start bumping everything.
Welcome! I'd like to hear more about your 93 caprice ls1? I'm assuming its a swap. In which case I WANT to see it right now!

We went international with the arrival of the Canadians.
With this, we have now gone Global.

Sweet rides! There are a ton of people from your neck of the woods that dig these big body cars huh? Keep up the good work. Any plans to swap the wagon engine out?
BTW, buy some swag from Crovo (toomanytoyz),and have him send you some swag stickers. its not officially global until our decals cruise on otherwise foreign soil(sorry Canada)

Well, the plan (for now) is to leave it completly stock - just a fun family car. Who am I kidding... it will probably will end with some LS1 or LS2 in 2 years...

What would you like to know more? I bought whole engine, transmission, computer and other stuff on ebay (I bought it about 4AM for about $2600 - it looked like this
I didn't do it myself. I called HPG Company (Awesome guys, huge knowledge), I gave them Caprice, the engine and came back after 3 months First ride was amazing. But now I already feel that I could use some more power but it is my everyday car. I don't know any other Caprice LS1 in Poland, in fact there are about 20 of them at all. Pretty rare cars in here. I'd like to change LS1 to LS9 but it's too expensive for now. It's not a sleeper, you can hear it from miles because of the Flowmaster 40 muffler, and none of my neighbours was late to work (I am sorry for my english, you have to be forgiving).
This is the picture from 2005, I took it in Chicago, Medinah after I bought the car and changed the tires.
