I agree with 1042Adam, In my home state of Virginia, Radar Sets are calibrated by Certified Police Officers at the beginning of their tour of duty. Those tuning forks are used in the calibration of the radar set. The tuning forks found in this Chevrolet Caprice PPV (Police Pursuit Vehicle) should have been removed prior to the vehicle being wholesaled at auction. Oops, somebody screwed up!

Those tuning forks are for calibrating the radar. The smaller tuning fork will have a higher tone somewhere around 5800Hz and the larger one will have a lower tone, somewhere around 3200Hz.

Chevrolet could have reborn the El Camino...but I never actually heard of any Chevrolet plans for doing this. I was really good friends with a factory Pontiac District Service Manager back during that time that used to tell me all sorts of behind-the-scenes plans. Unfortunately, those plans never were able to see the light of day. It would have been really neat though my friend... indeed !!! Super awesome job on your PPV videos Chris...KUDOS to you !!!

Recently decided to add performance cam, headers, exhaust, air intake and tuning. Prior to all work the car just wanted to run...awesome power. All amped up work should be down by mid May..can't wait!! SLEEPER!! cam will have ability for adding of supercharger...gotta save for that 1..BTW..just with an air intake..car develops an awesome growl

Anyway if you had of got our 100% Statesman & Caprice models with all the good stuff plus the Holden Special Vehicle HSV version, you would have really enjoyed them. HSV version had magnetic ride control suspension, heaps more grunt (HP), brilliant ride and handling, great infotainment system and an awesome Exhaust note. But no more now they killed off our iconic brand. Enjoy.

It's ashame these Caprices didn't make their way to Canada. They're pretty amazing cars. As for insurance, I use Geico and with a $500 deductible I'm paying $480 every six months. So about $960 for the year. Funny thing though, the VIN however confuses Geico as these were never sold to the public so I had to speak with an agent first to get it insured.

They are radar calibration check forks. They should say what frequency range they are. Example X, K, KA ETC... You check both individually in stationary mode. Then place the unit in moving mode, strike both forks and you should get the radar to read as if your moving and calculating the speed correctly. 1 MPH out of what is stamped on them you are okay. Any further out then the radar unit needs to come out for service. Also make sure there are no nicks or chips in the forks or the frequency changes. We test ours at the beginning and end of every shift. Some departments check their units at the beginning of the shift and after every speeding ticket they write. They should even have a serial number on them that corresponds with the radar unit they are from. Also on a side note in OHIO you write the ticket for what speed you observed and then confirmed with the radar unit. You have to visually estimate it before you confirm your estimate. I know it sounds crazy but that's how the law is written. And yes before anyone on here gives me crap I am a law enforcement officer in Ohio and I am a certified instructor for the State of Ohio to teach and instruct this subject matter. Disclaimer that your state will have similar laws to Ohio but not exact. I am still amazed after many years of doing this how different states are from each other.

BTW I have owned a 2011 Chevy Caprice V8 6.0L L77 for 7 years here in Texas USA. It is a Holden Caprice or Statesman in Australia, it was imported to the USA as a Chevrolet Caprice PPV from 2011 to 2017 with either the 3.6L V6 or the 6.0L V8. They NEVER had any other engine and the first run of 2011 Caprice PPV here in the USA were all 6.0L V8. The Chevy Caprice NEVER had a 6.2L engine, ever in the USA. The 2014 to 2017 Chevrolet SS is the Holden Commodore import here in the USA that had the 6.2L V8 and was not the same body as the Caprice or G8.

I think Australia--Holden-- is more interested in horsepower then GM in the US is. American GM puts all their effort and resources into the Corvette, which is great for the Vette guys, but what about us non Vette guys? Another reason why I LOVE the Caprice.

It's a Statesman (Caprice) body but with a more basic specification and police-friendly modifications. Making it a police-spec Commodore with extra room in the rear seat, in a way, rather than the luxo-barge that was sold in Oz.

The keys with the Chevy logo on the back are the keys that didn't get done when the car the got recall done. For the key that doesn’t turn the car on, try reprogramming it through the dash. I believe there’s a video on it.

The tuning forks are for performing radar speed measurement. That’s old school. No one uses tuning forks anymore though.

Marc Washington not true in Delaware; the state police still use Ka 34.7 (Stalker). Even some of the small towns there use Ka 34.7.

It's not a Holden Commodore. It's a Holden Caprice. Much larger and although it looks similar has very few sheared panels with the Commodore

Kinda. I believe that one he has is more like the Pontiac G8 on the inside: a generation older then the Chevy SS. In australia they are the long-wheel-base version of the commodore and come with full luxury interior and spec. For the ones sold to the US they took all the luxury away and made them more practical for police work.

Enjoyed the vid as always. Couple of questions, do those extra keys do anything like open the trunk or glovebox? How long have you been buying from auctions? You really know what you are doing. Thank you.

@hullinger 4 жыл бұрын
Hey buddy, nice to hear from you. One of those extra keys will lock and unlock the doors and will turn in the ignition too, but won't start the car. The other extra key won't do anything. I'm betting it goes to one of the other 5 Caprices from that auction. As for auction buying, I guess it's been maybe 3 years now. Started out buying lawn mowers, then Crown Vic's and now anything that's interesting and fun.

Yeah, I find mechanical parts are easy peasy to get for the Caprice. Body parts are not cheap but can be gotten after a long wait. Sometimes used parts like good used fenders, headlights and such turn up on eBay.

I would like to get one but the thing that worries me is parts, especially in Europe... I daily drive a 2000 Grand Marquis and a 91 Caprice and parts for those are easily available but these never Caprices were not produced in that great numbers.
