Vehicle Description
This is it, the end of the line for Chevy's full-sized
convertibles. The 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic was the last year
you could get a big, comfortable, and flashy Chevy in an attractive
ragtop package. GM discontinued it with the gas crunch and safety
regulations of the mid 70's, which makes this very affordable and
pristine classic a rare gem today.
The paint looks great today. The big red panels are extremely well
taken care of and give off a great shine as they have been
protected in a garage most of the vehicles life. Then again, this
convertible lived an easy life so far, and so it shouldn't be a
surprise that the sheetmetal is also so straight. The contrasting
white body moldings are a purely '70s design element, and it ties
in nicely with the white top. Brightwork is a big deal with these
'70s cruisers, and so it's great to see it complete on everything
from the big bumpers, to the headlight surrounds, to the intricate
waterfall grille. Of course, the rear fender skirts and wire wheel
caps (with correct Chevrolet markings) just make this cool classic
cruiser look amazing.
If you liked the way the white top coordinated with the paint,
you'll love the way the white interior does so, too. When a
convertible's interior is this nice, and still appears original,
you know it hasn't been left out in the sunshine too long over the
years. The white seats are quite complete; the matching door panels
are firm and intact; and the black carpeting remains plush - it's
the kind of preservation you love to have on your classic cruiser.
And more than just well presented, as a top of the line Chevy, this
one came with plenty of options. It includes power locks, tilt
steering column, AM/FM cassette radio, and cruise control. But the
set of features we know you're going to love the most are the power
windows and power folding roof. Together, those mean you don't have
to leave the driver's set to go from enclosed comfort to a
wind-in-your-hair experience. There's even R134a air
conditioning!
Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch V8. These are
easily upgradeable, but that might be a shame to do on this one
that looks so factory correct. In fact, not only is this believed
to be the original motor, but it's also believed that the odometer
could reflect the actual mileage of the car! And so if it has
averaged less than 1,150 miles annually, you can understand why it
all looks so well preserved. But more than just a history piece,
this is made for the boulevard. The three-speed automatic
transmission shifts smoothly, and the V8 has a four-barrel
carburetor for an extra helping of power and torque. This large
classic has a plush ride that's supplemented by the power steering,
front disc brakes, and sway bars front & rear.
