Chevrolet 9C1
9C1 is a production code used by Chevrolet to designate a vehicle intended for use as a police car or car-based emergency vehicle. 9C1-designated vehicles are marketed under the Police Pursuit Vehicle or Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) nameplate. The 9C1 package is intended to compete with the Ford Police Interceptor and Stellantis's Dodge Charger Pursuit and Dodge Durango Pursuit.
Specific modifications and upgrades in the 9C1 package vary by vehicle platform, though they generally center around increased durability and performance. Other parts of the 9C1 package are designed to allow the installation of emergency vehicle lighting and equipment.
Considered a fleet vehicle by General Motors, the 9C1 package is considered a Special Equipment Options (SEO) code, as opposed to a Regular Production Option (RPO) code. Both groups of options are found on the production code sticker (which on most modern GM vehicles is located in the glove box).
Heavy-duty (HD) features include full perimeter steel frame (there is debate as to whether the Caprice 9C1[which?] uses a thicker frame than the civilian car; GM replacement frame part numbers for the civilian auto and the Caprice 9C1 are the same); oversized front and rear sway bars; full-size spare tire (in the case of the fourth generation Caprice 9C1); high-output alternator; lifetime-rated green silicone coolant hoses; four-wheel disc brakes; HD steel wheels and speed-rated tires; quick-ratio power steering and transmission and power steering oil coolers; certified digital speedometer; stiffer body mounts and more of them; true dual exhaust; protective anti-stab steel plates in the front seat backs; performance 3.08 final drive ratio (3.23 w/std.); 200 hp/245 ft·lbf L99 V8 4.3 L (265 cid) SFI engine); and extra wiring for the emergency equipment.
Since the mid-1970s, Chevrolet has offered factory-produced police variants of the Chevrolet Nova, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Celebrity, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Silverado, and Chevrolet Blazer EV.
The Nova 9C1 was offered to police agencies between 1975 and 1979, originating as a prototype for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 1974. The Nova 9C1 was available to police agencies as either a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan with an array of different options.
A 9C1-equipped Malibu with an LT1 350 Z-28 Camaro V8 engine driven by E. Pierce Marshall placed 13th of 47 in the 1979 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, better known as the Cannonball Run.[clarification needed]
Starting in 1986, the Caprice would replace the Impala for the retail, taxi, and police markets based on the third generation model, which was launched in 1977. Like its civilian counterparts, the Caprice 9C1 would get a facelift in 1987, and would remain the same until 1990. The Caprice 9C1 was available with either a V6 or V8 in this generation.
