S3Ep13 Bowtie Am Legend - Let's Salute America's LEGENDARY Police Car: 1986-1996 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 History and Legacy!
In their Season 3 Finale, Chase Classic Motors explores the history and legacy of America's most celebrated and legendary police car: the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Package... the Bowtie with a Badge! Built from 1977-1996, Chevrolet's full-size Impala and Caprice police cruiser began as a downsized and utilitarian workhorse. Although unable to compete with its rivals from Chrysler and Ford in the power and performance categories as a rookie, it gradually got better, sleeker, and faster. Eventually, despite its controversial restyling in the 90s, the Caprice 9C1 rose through the ranks to become the fastest and most capable four-door police car of all-time by 1996! However, just as the Caprice 9C1 achieved its legendary status, GM execs pulled the plug and left police officers and fleet managers across the USA in mourning for their beloved V8-powered behemoth. Yet 30 years after its last patrol, this simple and stately GM sedan continues to fascinate fans across the world to this day. To find out what happened to America's favorite enforcement machine and why their popular 1990 Caprice 9C1 is suffering from a no-start failure, Ross and Eric roll up their sleeves to investigate the legend up close. They have just 48 hours to get their prized Chevy police car running again and back in uniform in time for the annual Michigan Sheriff's National Night Out. It's the GREATEST POLICE CAR STORY EVER TOLD and you're along for the ride as Chase Classic Motors sets the record straight and provides you with the definitive history of the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Car: a law enforcement legend and an American automotive icon!

S3Ep10 Leased Lightning - 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack - Let's Review the Most Unpopular Mopar Ever Made!
Chase Classic Motors takes an honest look at the future of "muscle cars" with an in-depth review of the most impressive and offensive Mopar of the 21st century: the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack. Why did Dodge's gamble on EV-technology nearly cost them their reputation as a performance brand? How can a super-coupe with gorgeous styling and 700hp manage to offend both the mainstream Mopar community and the alternative EV-buyers community at the same time? And how can a car that does 0-60mph in 3-seconds be simultaneously thrilling as well as boring? To find out, Eric and Ross go for a ride with Robert Miller from the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@UCjBcnjHdusjZjx8vWMS5rww to find the answers. See what happens when a pair of classic car guys from Detroit peer through the looking glass into the future of muscle cars as we know it. After a few high-speed runs in this electronic marvel, their views on the future of American car culture, classic muscle cars, and Mopar police cars may surprise you!

S3Ep9 Here Comes the Judge! - Let’s All Rise for the 69’ GTO Judge - The Opulent Muscle Car
Chase Classic Motors is now in session and we’re welcoming a new presiding justice: the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge! With its iconic look, muscular flanks, brutal performance, and high-class interior options, the Judge was a flashy jurist who pronounced sentence on the street during the zenith of the muscle car wars. Unfortunately, our customer is holding the previous workshop in contempt after discovering damage to the start motor pinion and ring gear. That means Eric will be pulling and rebuilding the Muncie 4-speed transmission along with showing us how to replace the ring gear, clutch, and starter motor. Until finally, after a long and lengthy appeal, perhaps this Judge will knock our socks off with its streetwise ruling and surprise us with its fascinating story. So, let’s all rise for the Judge and bring this court to order as we drive a true member of muscle car royalty around the streets of Detroit!

S3Ep8 “Corvette Bummer” - Let’s Dive into a 1980 Corvette (C3) to See What Went Wrong!
Chase Classic Motors is weighing anchor and diving deep into America's most popular sports car with a nautical name: the Chevrolet Corvette! With nearly 75 years of history as the USA's first purpose-built sports car, the Corvette has lasted through 8-generations as an automobile designed strictly for fun and to be the most aspirational and cherished of GM's performance cars. Yet despite its fascinating heritage, the 3rd-generation Corvette (the C3) remains the black sheep of this legendary family. When it debuted in 1968, the C3 "Shark" had several industry-firsts for an American car. It cut an unmistakably sleek and aquatic profile, boasted incredible V8 power, and featured a long list of accolades and track-bred skills to match. The C3 is also the best-selling Corvette of any generation before or since and it was immortalized in popular culture as America's dream machine. Yet today, the Corvette C3 is lost in a sea of more coveted classics... the question is WHY? To find out what went wrong, the boys will dive into their customer's triple black 1980 'Vette to uncover why it is acting so slow and sluggish. As they work their way through the engine trouble, they will also look at the history of the Corvette from 1953 - 1982; and look into the car's lineage and evolution of design. Perhaps only then will they be able to uncover the truth behind this intrepid little warship that triumphed in the moment; but would ultimately sink under the weight of its own success!

S3Ep7 Imperial March - Let's Learn How Chrysler's Imperial EFI Works! We Bought This One for $500!!
It's time for answers... it's time for fun... it's time for IMPERIAL! The 1981 Imperial by Chrysler was supposed to summon the return of a premium American luxury brand. Instead, it humiliated the company! Now Chase Classic Motors brings you the hard facts and sets to find out why this famous flop happened. How did a car this expensive, this technologically advanced, and this good looking manage to embarrass not only its celebrity CEO Lee Iacocca, but also the Chairman of the Board himself, one Mr. Frank Sinatra? Truth is stranger than fiction when the boys uncover an original 1981 Imperial for just $500! Now they have a chance to learn all about the car that doomed Chrysler's company fortunes and why it courts controversy among Mopar fans to this very day. Chrysler famously balked at their own EFI system and replaced it with carburetors following complaints from owners. Now Ross and Eric are on a mission to revive the jet-set spirit of the 80s Imperial and bring this abandoned luxury car back to life. They will show you all the research that went into learning how the notorious "constant-flow" fuel-injection system actually works. Then we'll see if they can make the V8 SING just like "Ol' Blue Eyes" himself. It's time for this Imperial to run again!

S3Ep6 Mad Max: Bad Gas - Let's Give this Big-Block Mopar Police Car a Shakedown!
Chase Classic Motors is in hot pursuit with Michigan's last surviving big-block Mopar police car! Last season, Ross and Eric went on a cross-country trip to bring Michigan's last surviving 1977 Plymouth Fury Pursuit home to the Motor City where it was born. Now they are hitting the streets to find out exactly what they bought and how much work it will take to whip this old soldier back into shape. It's time for a good, old-fashioned SHAKEDOWN! Along the way, they'll discover (once again) that old cars have a habit of showing their age in the most unpredictable ways. Now it's a race against time to get this tired Trooper car ready for a grand weekend at Greenfield Village; once the personal playground of automotive titan Henry Ford. So join the boys for another fun ride-a-long in a vintage police car as they demonstrate that even a bad case of GAS can't keep a good Trooper down!

S3Ep5 - Fantastic Fox! - Let's Play Cops and Robbers in the 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra
Chase Classic Motors is ready for fun and games as Ross and Eric pay tribute to the best-selling sports car of their teenage years: the 3rd generation Ford Mustang. Even better, this one is Ford's celebration model: the ultra-cool and super-rare 1993 SVT Cobra! At a time when malaise cars had stifled the automotive world, these fantastic Fox-body Mustangs were quick, stylish, fun to drive, and their 5-liter power-plants were infinitely customizable. No wonder they were the preferred choice of gearheads across America in the 1980s and 1990s! Yet this snake-bitten stallion has a surprise connection with Audi and some shocking European influence. You'll also see why the Mustang was known as the little car that chased Porsche's for a living and how it was so successful as a police car when equipped with Ford's "Special Service Package". So, ditch your BMX bike, grab a glass of Sunny-D, buckle up, and get ready for the ultimate game of 'Cops and Robbers' as the boys hit the street in the Mustang that even Al Bundy wanted in Season 3, Episode 5: FANTASTIC FOX!
