Hi there, I read from some time this forum, and I just saw that I forgot to introduce myself ! I'm Ben from France, even if I'm a genuine Parisian guy, I live in the East, near the Switzerland border. I had some US car, almost all was full size (yeah, I like it !), but for now, let's talk about my Caprice. A big clamshell 3 rows, with 400/400. I plan to replace the engine, gearbox and rear end by a hairy combo this winter ! Now, photos !!!

That's a gorgeous car and you look to live in a beautiful place! Welcome and keep the pics coming! -Mike
A beautiful clamshell indeed! Thanks for joining us and sharing your pics! I'm curious: Why are you thinking of replacing the engine and trans?
Thanks guys ! I will take more pics if you like them. @Glide-Aways : the actual 4-hundred burns some oil, and the gearbox seems to be too "slippy". And I have/had some habit of more dynamic engine/gearbox combo (I had MB E500, RS6, 928GTS, and still have a little but bloody pug -Peugeot 205 GTI with modified 16s engine : 180HP for 910 kg-).
Hi guys, little update, no work yet on car, just awaiting completion of my commands for engine and gearbox. But, the car starred in a court (a bloody one). And she was used as a travelling car. Here some pics.
aboard Ben! Nice cruising wagon for sure. It appears to be in nice shape. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics of the countryside and during it's film debut. Keep us up to date on your progress. Enjoy your cool ride.
