The ideal car I'm looking for is an LT1 (1994-1996) Caprice or Roadmaster wagon, would also be willing to go for a sedan too though.

I'm interested in anything else though that is midsized or large from the late 80s and up. It must have multiport or sequential fuel injection (sorry, no carbs or TBI). Ideas for other possibilities include:

Third or Fourth gen F-Body (V6 only).
Ford Thunderbird / Mercury Cougar
Chevrolet Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
Ford Crown Victoria
Chevrolet Malibu or Lumina
Pontiac Grand Prix or Bonneville
Buick Regal

Automatic or manual is fine. I'm in the Milwaukee, WI area but am willing to travel quite a long way (definetly willing to travel to Chicago, Green Bay, or Madison).

Little too expensive for a winter beater for me, thanks though and good luck.

I've got a '96 V6 Camaro A4 with 164k miles I'm selling in the Chicago area. It has some issues but the engine runs perfect and it drives fine. I'm asking $1300. The issues are:

-AC doesn't hold a charge for more than a couple of days
-oil level sensor doesn't work (low oil light always on)
-coolant leak on top of intake manifold, due to bad gasket
-oil leak, not sure of source, but could be valve covers
-tranny has slight slip on 2-3 shift under high load
-rear suspension makes "knock" sound when going over bumps
-hood was damaged in minor accident in 2001, was patched with Bondo, but needs more touching up
-rest of body is pretty good, with a couple of small rust spots

Let me know if you are interested.
