Hello, vwfye here...

vwfye · 08-09-2012, 01:36 PM

I know... vwfye? Is he lost? Nope! I've always loved the 90s Caprice wagons and I now have one. 213k miles of white 1992 Shammu stockness! I've had it a week, already spent quality time with AAA for a failed fuel pump, replaced the dead rear hatch struts and ordered new rear shocks. I will order an Impala grill as the stock one is just to 'grandpa' for my liking. I am looking at ordering a set of 2" drop spindles for the front since I have to replace both front sets of bearings and I will leave the rear at stock height since I need to be able to tow some. Other than that, I'm also a flat 4 guy... VWs or Goldwings, if it is a flat 4 I have owned it or modified it

Anyhow, that's me in a nut(ty) shell

VW owner
Fye is the last name...

but, you made me laugh

**tonyc712000** · 08-12-2012, 05:45 PM

Nice! Like the vw next to it too! Can we get some pics of those too?

Jd1 · 08-12-2012, 08:04 PM

Nice wagon. I too want to see some VW's.

vwfye · 08-12-2012, 09:33 PM

Okay... but, I will try to stay on the Caprice focus after this.

This one is now mid-engine, EFI and 190hp.

This one has air ride, 17" wheels and a bit of attitude.

This is the one that will spend time on the trailer and at the track and has a suprise under the lid.

**tonyc712000** · 08-13-2012, 04:02 AM

FANTASTIC!

Love it! The last one is my favorite. I haven't seen one of those in decades! It's like they all disappeared! Thanks for posting them!!

**TSS** · 08-13-2012, 07:21 AM

Me too! Love that last one. Did you see the recent "Pickers", where they were at a guy's house who had TONS of VWs in a field and TONS of parts?

Most of us don't hate on other cars - heck I am even Impala-less at the moment.

vwfye · 08-13-2012, 09:00 AM

the purple one is a 1500, but most folks call them a Notchback. They were never officially sold in NA, but you could get one in Canada IF you knew what it was and ordered it.
I have been fortunate to own 6 of them over the years. 5 came out of France and 1 out of Canada. The pink car was also a Notchback, but it was trashed and became that topless, mid-engine car. The red one in the Caprice background pic is a 72 Notchback and in NA they are beyond rare. It needs a lot of work!
