Hi there!
My name is Eelco and I'm a Chevy nutcase from the Netherlands. I'm the proud owner of a '91 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 5.0 V8
(This baby was produced in Arlington, Texas according to VIN with the production number 27890).
She was imported to the Netherlands by the company:
Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek
USA CARS IMPORT
Winterswijk - Holland
The company still exists, but only as a chassis builder. I presume for trucks and special projects?
These cars are still pretty easy to find over here, but it's getting harder and harder to get one that is in fair shape! Most of them were used as taxi's which ran on LPG. (Liquified Petroleum Gas). A lot of dents, scratches and rust and not to forget the abuse on the exterior and interior.
She's fully loaded....
She has driven 246.000 kilometers (sorry, European car) sofar. That's like a walk in the park for an engine of this size!
I bought her intentially for every day driving, but after 6 months I grew more and more attached to her that I felt sorry for her to drive her in the rain and snow. She has done her time out there on those crowded streets. So now, she only comes out during the summer to visit meetings and events and other fun stuff....pretty laid back kind of a life I guess. Well earned.
Please check the index below, because I don't always have enough time to update all 21 pages. Therefore page 20 was made, with all the latest pics of my car in its current state.
