Vehicle Description
The 1969 Chevrolet Caprice coupe was the top of the line, but this
one also was specially built to be different from day one. With the
bold outside color scheme, big block under the hood, and a loaded
A/C interior, this restored hardtop is truly a distinguished
machine.
This is a special order paint color, and the trim tag and partial
buildsheet prove it. While Hugger Orange was available elsewhere
across the General Motors lineup, the muscle car color doesn't
appear to be part of the upper-class Caprice's history. So it would
have taken a true lover of boldness and luxury to create a car like
this. That's also why something this special was given a full
frame-off restoration. The sheetmetal is amazingly straight, which
makes for a terrific canvas to re-apply the special bold paintwork.
The speedy and slick orange nicely contrasts with the black vinyl
roof to deliver a fast-with-class total appearance. Plus, the
premium Caprice had some great exclusive features like the
functional, optional hide away headlights and the special
full-length trim that coordinates so nicely with the hardtop on
this example. And the polished Torq Thrust wheels go so nicely with
the rest of the mirror-like brightwork. So while the factory
hubcaps come with the sale, this upgrade really complements this
car's special attitude.
This dual luxury and performance stance continues on the loaded
interior. Plush button-top seating and wood-like trim give everyone
the premium feeling. But this is also a more personal machine
thanks to a fold-down armrest up front and a three-spoke sports
steering wheel. The full blackout package looks great against the
exterior, and so you'll love showing off this hardtop profile
everywhere. And that's especially easy thanks to power windows and
factory air conditioning now blowing cold with modern R134a. Plus,
there are more great amenities like cruise control, provisions for
power locks, and a power adjusting seat. Even the AM/FM 8-track
stereo is still pumping out tunes for great period-correct
cruising.
Big luxury needs a big motor, and those 427 badges on the fender
didn't lie. You can see more evidence of the quality level of the
restoration in the way this period-correct big block looks quite
factory fresh. The four-barrel carb on top is exactly what you want
for power. But remember, this is a luxury cruiser, too. So the dual
exhaust has a throaty rumble, but not an overpowering one. And the
TH400 three-speed automatic shifts smoothly like a true boulevard
cruiser should. Plus, the power steering and power brakes w/discs
up front means you can take everyone on ice cream runs without
breaking a sweat.
The full photo gallery really shows off the quality of this coupe -
right down to the fresh components underneath. And a car this
special also comes with the right paperwork, including the original
warranty card, owner's manual, partial buildsheet, and many
original docs. This is a unique classic built from day one to be
distinctive and powerful. So if you like to standout in all the
best ways, don't miss this extraordinary classic. Call today!
