Post My 1989 Chevrolet Caprice "Christine"

Hey everyone, I am new here to the forum. My name is Colton, I am 17 an currently residing in Pennsylvania. I am very proud of my car, Christine and I would like to show her off a little bit. What I am bringing to you is a mint cond. 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. It is a standard 305, 5.0. This car is well, very baseline, but she's unique. Even though it has standard seats, no power locks, no power seats, no power windows...Well, she's different. It's not often you see the White, W/ the Royal Blue Vinyl Top, pinstripe...And to top it off, she's only got 56,700 original, non beaten miles..I've seen only two others in existence on the internet...Sadly both were in much need of TLC. So here is the run down. I bought this car with MY money, not my parents, I put everything I have into this car. Since i've had it I've done the following apart from cleaning and detailing it twice a week and routine maintenance.


Refurbished the steel wheels/added new refurb. dog dish caps and brand new TigerPaw tires.
New front fog lights.
Restored the sagging headliner.
New speakers all around.
Changed the original factory disc brakes.
Cat delete running to cherry bomb (temp. set up) running true dual longtube headers, cat delete into flowmaster 10's in the spring can't wait! Would anyone care to suggest the best pipe sizing for a standard 305 v8 engine? For good top and low end power, stick to 2.5", or smaller?
Cleaned/detailed/repainted the engine bay and manifolds, etc..
There is more to list, I just can't think on the top of my head.

'Christine' is currently residing in a storage locker due to the horrible PA winters we get, therefore I am driving a 700 dollar grandmas car. a 1987 Delta 88 with a 3.8 in it. 67k grandma miles.

So here it is, along with a video of the current exhaust sound to compare to in the spring. If you like my car, feel free to check out more videos it's good to see more people out there appreciate the Caprice like I do.

Thanks man . Thats pretty awesome you have a low mileage Chevy too! I mean, basically you have a car that'll run for another 15-20 years with no issues
