It's a 1995 with the LT1 motor 260hp with 335ft/lbs Torque. 151,400 Miles 0-60 in 7.8 seconds :) V92 Tow Package F40 Heavy Duty Susupension (Front and Rear) G87 Level Control GW9 2.93:1 G80 Limited Slip Diff JA2, JA4 HD Brakes Front and Rear V08 - HEAVY DUTY COOLING SYSTEM It's never had a Trailer Hitch installed at least no signs of having one.

The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the exact same drive train is rated to tow 7000lbs. I can't wait to test it out . . . just waiting for my new hitch to arrive. It's an amazingly smooth ride . . . and the power is awesome. The wagon has a few little leaks that I have to fix, but it's not bad for $2200 (including title, tax and registration fees). We'll see . . . the limited slip diff works (I played around in the dirt). Not quite like having a locking diff with 4wd drive low, but it'll do. The best part is that it cost $168 for the year to insure through AAA.

Too bad you couldn't have gotten it in green (metallic pea). For some reason, the name Griswold comes to mind...

Sure, its not a cool ride, but it is a good ride.
The 1995-96 LT-1 Chevy Caprice is still my favorite police car.......I haven't driven a Hemi Charger yet but I've sat in one and they don't have the room I need. BS....Keep an eye on the cooling fan relay, that was the only problem I can remember with the LT-1 equiped cars, and that is not a problem as long as you are driving, just when you are sitting idling (like cops often do).
