Vehicle Description
The beautiful, classy Caprice was Chevrolet's top-of-the-line model
for many years, and these days, it's difficult to come by one
that's in such an incredible shape as this one is in. This 1970
Chevrolet Caprice is an absolutely stunning car, unrestored with
49,803 original miles on the odometer. It's also highly original
and almost completely correct, with original body panels and a
numbers-matching powertrain. Popping open the hood reveals an
immaculate, numbers-matching 350 C.I. V8 breathing through a
4-barrel carburetor, which drives this Caprice down the freeway
with ease. Torque is put to the pavement through an equally
numbers-matching 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts
smoothly and seamlessly. The exterior's laser-straight bodylines
are covered in striking "Cranberry Red" paint, which looks gorgeous
and has only been repainted once with the original paint still in
the door jambs! It's complimented well by the brand-new black vinyl
top, which has a fantastic contrast to the red paint. This Caprice
also has new chrome trim, bumpers, and chrome moldings, which have
an excellent shine and really help this car to stick out wherever
it goes. Evidenced by this car's original body panels, the
underside of this Caprice is very solid and features sturdy floors,
frame rails, door jambs and trunk. Stepping into the interior of
this car is like stepping back into 1970, as this Caprice features
a near-perfect all-original black cloth interior. That interior is
equipped with extremely comfy split bench seats that are perfect
for cruising, as well as all-original gauges and a factory Delco AM
pushbutton radio. There's also plenty of woodgrain trim for extra
luxury flair! Options on this unmistakable Caprice include power
steering, power bakes, a trunk mat, spare tire & jack, a factory
build sheet, factory gauges, an original Delco AM radio, a heater,
a driver's-side chrome mirror, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust
system. The car rides on a unique, chrome-ribbed & color-matched
set of 15" wheels over thinline whitewall tires for a factory-fresh
appearance that seems as if this Caprice just rolled off the
assembly line! With only 49k miles on the odometer, this Caprice
runs and drives like a new car. Turn the key and that 350 V8 starts
right up, ready to go at the push of a throttle. If you're looking
for a unique, factory-fresh, time-capsule cruiser with unmistakable
style, it's going to be pretty hard to do much better than this
beautiful 1970 Chevrolet Caprice.
