| [b][i]Hello all!!! Little about myself, Growing up we always had wagons, The first one i can remember was a 1968 Rambler then my dad bought a 1972 Chevelle wagon and the last one he bought was a 1978 Olds Cutlass Cruiser wagon that i would own and drive untill 2003 when i sold it.. It had 355,000 miles on when i finally let her go.. I currently own a 95 9C1 Caprice wagon. It is paint code 77 Dark Cherry and has 244,000 miles on it.. I'm the second owner, It was bought in Brewster Mass. march of 95. Whats neet about the wagon is i have the original build sheet from the factory in Austin Tx. and all paper work and service records from day 1.. I'm in the process of restoring the beast back to showroom condition.. Looking forward to being a part of a great group of wagon lovers.. | |

| Welcome aboard William!
You'll like it around here as there are a bunch of great guys.
What's up with coming up north and taking our wagons? That's worse than taking our women.
All kidding aside, that's a nice wagon you have, my favorite style, you don't see those very often. Actually there is a guy in our New England club that has one like yours. They're not all dolled up like a RMW but they are unique.

| Sorry i'll return it as soon as i'm done restoring it!! lol The guy i bought it from retired here in Panama City.. Yea i love the way it looks, I'm doing some body work on the right rear quarter and tailgate.. it was hit and half assed bondod.. So i'm fixing it right.. what was really strange was when i bought it it had wire wheel covers, the ones that bolt to the lugnuts covering the 9C1 wheels and had the center caps in the storage compartment.. The 3rd row seats were also missing. weird huh.. | |

| Welcome, nice Caprice.
If that's a 1A2 (wagon version of a 9C1) you have a rare one. Very few 'police package' wagons made for 95. | |

| Man, I want some of those centers for mine, instead of the wire hubs. Those look sweet. Welcome. |

| Thanks for all the welcomes!!! Didn't realize i had a rare car, I did kinda think it was funny that someone would order a 9C1 package on a wagon.. But hey it makes restoring her that much better!!! Only paint problems i have is the clear coat is cracking on the hood (looks like a lot of little stars) | |

| Well, in 1992, only 150 people did. Not sure about '95, but I imagine it would be a similar number. Whereabouts is Lynn Haven? I've never heard of it. |

| Someone I'm sure will correct me here but 95 Caprice 1A2 I think the total number was less than 50. Considerably less I'm thinking. | |

| ok,. step back to the tailgate and read the spid label,. and look for the specific code 1A2,. then report back,. anyone can bolt n97 wheels on a wagon,. and add green hoses,..
Nick walking a fine line between being a smart wagon guy ,. and just a smart ass,. | |

| Yes, and while you are back there, you will notice that the option "9C1" isn't there...

| Ok, Just looked at the tag on the inside of the tailgate and it is so faded i can't read it.. on the tag from what i can read goes V73 1A2 1SP then i can't read the last one.. Hope that helps.. Also in the C's it goes B19, C49, C60, C71, C91 canl't read the D.. I can see LT1. Really hard to make out the rest.. I'll keep trying to get the whole thing. | |

| Looks like 47 of the wagons were made.. X4T Total of 5,361 built. 506 had the 77U Dark Cherry paint and 443 had the 77Q Maple Red Trim.. Came with N97 wheels and option N91 Wire Wheel Covers.. 506 of them were Ca. Certafied NB6, Mines one of them.. I'll do more research on the car.. It was built 02-14-95, Was recieved in Hyannis Mass. on 2-17-95 then was paid for on 3-3-95 for $21,511.00 Odometer read 10 miles.. I'll keep going through my records for more info... | |

| I always find it fun to learn the history of a car. Even more fun when it turns out to be somewhat unique or unusual. | |

| a 1a2 ordered with wire hubcaps..... who would think.....I owned a 94 1A2 for a short time, it was my first wagon. It's still around as I sold it to a fellow enthusiast.
Maybe you can make it Daytona for the B-body gathering at the end of March..... | |
