Caprice engine swap?

For $3,100, the driver's seat side bolster is worn. And for $700, everything's torn. Nice range.

An LS400 with 300k would be interesting...

The 98 included several notable updates, including the 5 speed auto, chassis updates and a power bump. It traps 97!

This one looks very clean for $2k. Arguably cleaner than most $2k Roadmasters. http://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/5385502114.html

Well a 750iL traps 98. I guess I'd really have to like that V12, and the awesome-sauce back seat.

So far you're making a lot of sense. How dare you.

Plus, I can LS while I LS.

Wow

We were particularly impressed with its unique ability to scroll the displayed map by “dragging” it into the desired position with the tip of a finger and to input approximate destinations simply by touching the map in the appropiate locale.

So what you're saying is, the LS400 has much worse resale value than a Buick Roadmaster? I think Consumer Reports, circa 2004, would like to hear that.

Wow - this was a long time before anything had a touch screen!

To be fair, the LS400 I posted has 263k on it whereas a lot of the nice Roadmasters have considerably lower mileage. it seems like LS400s with between 100k-150k are still in the $4-5k range. You know, because they are only 10% used up at that point

This one is so fancy it turns into an S-type right before your eyes.
