My original reason for buying this car was to
use it as a daily driver. The previous January I had purchased a Dark
Cherry Metallic 1996 Impala SS with 2,300 original miles. Back and forth
to work at the Bessemer, AL Airport (I'm a Corporate Pilot) came to almost 100
miles per day and I was really piling up the miles on the SS!
Unit
C4-204, a 1994 Caprice Classic 9C1, went into service with The Texas Department
of Public Safety at the Denton,
Texas Station on March 15th,
1994. It spent its last 10 days at the Recruit Driving
School and
was retired
on December 12, 1997 with 107,413 miles on the odometer. I purchased this 9C1 from Kevin Hamman of Dallas, Texas, on August 28th, 1998,
with
109,320 miles on the
odometer.
The ride home to Alabama was uneventful, except for 2
"curiosity" stops by the Louisiana State Police. Their patrol
vehicles were very tired 1992 Caprice 9C1's. The car ran well (got 22
mpg), A/C was ice cold, and all the power options worked as advertised.

There
were a number of reasons for selecting this 9C1. It had been a
Supervisor's car and a "take home" unit. It had no holes from installed
equipment (spotlights or light bars), except for a DPS installed trunk lid
antenna. It had all the power options installed, including cruise control.
Sadly, it did not have rear window defrost or a limited slip differential (positraction).
This 9C1
was delivered with factory Black/White paint, but was repainted all Black and
the big spotlights added at some point during its time in service. Kevin
Hamman bought this car at a DPS auction exactly as you see it in the pictures
above. |
