Few updated pics of my Ride ( for Unit453)

What happened to it JP? 148k is not alot of miles for one of those. I have seen several taxi fleets when I was in DC with over 400k on them.
 
My guess is Laughing gas ? These motors under normal maintainence should last way more than that.

thanks for the Advice. The Car is for sale right now.

Im building a shop and need the extra cash.
 
Oh boy...That didnt take long...

Dont feel bad though. I'm tryin to offload my Ford too. I desperately need the cash.

):h No laughing gas for me. I'm not really sure what happened, but the history goes: I bought the car in 98 with 62K miles on it. I knew the guy who had it, and he used it as a company car, CEO of a Doctor-owned surgery center, anyways, I always changed the oil and filter at 3K miles and no real modes except for a K&N filter and suspension upgrades. A few years back we were driving back from Texas running about 80 or 85 I got a chime alarm that said "check guages" when I did I noticed the temp guage was pegged....to the hot side....:mad2: Waterpump took a dump and I am not sure how long it had been hot. Got the pump replaced and drove home and drove it purty regular. Well, I took it in because I thought the AIR pump siezed up (CEL was on) as the mechanic was verifying he found oil in the coolant and tests indicated a cracked block or heads. I didn't wanna spend money on a tear down to see if it was the heads then find out it was the block. Sooo, I just did the whole long block.

I'm on the ImpalaSS/Caprice forums all the time and those guys mod the heck outta their cars and get 200,000+ miles outta their motors. Of course I don't know how the car was treated in the 62K miles prior to my purchase. I guess I just had some bad luck.
