An interesting read for those of us with B body GM's from the 80's

Well, it's not a wagon, it's a Caprice sedan, but mechanically it's kin to the cars we B body owners have. It's a rather long read, but they took the same approach I want to take with my car.

Oh, and they named the Caprice Buford T Justice, which makes it even better.

 

I've bookmarked that one.
Wonder how much all that Hotchkiss suspension stuff costs....?

Haven't found the springs yet, dunno if they make them specifically for my wagon since it's 400lbs heavier.

Keep in mind this will not ride like a couch anymore, more like a modern luxury car with really old pillowy seats. I think it's amusing that they managed to detonate a 700R4 though.

 

I like it! Laughed quite a bit reading that, very entertaining, I'll have to keep my eyes open for that car when I make my forays into MA.

 

If you see it, try to follow it to see if you can get a reaction, maybe you can land a photograph with it or something.
