    I too owned a 1987 Caprice Classic. It was my first car but it was already probably 15 years old when I got it. Not sure if they offered it with different engine options, but it was indeed a tank. We called it the boat.

    E: I just looked back, and I had a 1990 Caprice Classic, not the 87. Still, a tank.

      Ah, then you had one with a working transmission! Chevy evidently tried something new for their 1986-1988 V8 engines and it wasn’t good.

      I replaced the transmission in my behemoth twice before giving up on it.
