Vehicle Description
Only 4,633 miles since the crate engine was dropped in this
gorgeous classic Chevrolet! The year is 1966, movie actor Ronald
Reagan elected Governor of California, Star Trek premieres and this
gorgeous Chevrolet Caprice rolls into the dealerships. Since then
she has been rebuilt with a 350 H.O. V8 crate motor, 700R4
automatic trans, new paint, interior, 20" chrome rims. This first
generation Caprice was introduced in mid-1965 as a luxury trim
package for the Impala four-door hardtop, Chevrolet offered a full
line of Caprice models for the 1966 and subsequent model years,
including a "formal hardtop" coupe and an Estate station wagon. The
1971 to 1976 models are the largest Chevrolets ever built. The
downsized 1977 and restyled 1991 models were awarded Motor Trend
Car of the Year. Production ended in 1996. The 1966 Caprice
featured a revised grille and front bumper, and new rectangular
taillights which replaced the Chevrolet-traditional triple round
taillights used on Impalas since 1958, with the exception of the
1959 model. Lenses and silver trim on Caprices differed slightly
from the other full-sized models. Sedans and coupe models included
luxurious cloth and vinyl bench seats with a folding center armrest
in the rear seat. Optional on both was a "Strato bench" seat which
combined bucket-style seat backs and center armrest with a bench
cushion for six-passenger seating. Caprices had unique standard
wheel covers, although some of the optional wheels and wheel covers
on full-sized models were optional. To view the car in greater
