Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Caprice coupe reigned supreme when new with its
range-topping style and road-owning size. And today this classic
continues to command attention for being an exceptionally
preserved/presented hardtop with its numbers-matching V8, vintage
luxury interior, and ultra-low mileage.
Chevy fans know this is something very special. 1966 was the first
year for the Caprice coupe. The name was introduced as the top
option package for the Impala sedan the previous year, but then it
was given its own unique styling as the new king of the full-size
Chevys. The roofline is unique to the Caprice, and it looks quite
regal as it gets highlighted by the taut black vinyl. Then again,
everything is going to look good on a car this straight. The under
21k miles on the odometer is the actual mileage, and so this one is
practically a time capsule. Even some of the Cameo Beige finish is
believed to be the original application! Being the top-level
Chevrolet also meant not skipping out on chrome anywhere. Caprices
added brightwork over the Impala up front, and there is no missing
those cool tail lamps with wraparound bright ribbing. Complete
trim, factory wheel covers, and a full-length pinstripe in a subtle
tan are all part of this well-presented and well-preserved
hardtop.
The upper-classic feeling continues inside. The fawn interior, tan
carpeting, and wood-like trim inserts are all quite harmonizing
with the exterior. And it all has the clean look of quality care.
So you'll happily roll down all the windows on this pillarless
hardtop just so you can easily show off the thoughtful style inside
and out. The whole setup is for vintage lovers, right down to
details, like the working dome lights, Delco AM radio, and
button-top presentation on the seats and doors. And while the
mileage is exceptionally low, this one was made for driving. That's
why you have features like the front bucket seats, a center console
in-between, and the same kind of quad auxiliary gauge package you'd
find on the Camaro later in the 1960s.
The classic and correct style continues under the hood. The Chevy
orange and vintage callouts draw your attention to the 327
cubic-inch V8. It's a bold presentation worthy of showcasing the
numbers-matching V8. This is the era where Chevy started
understanding how to unlock the most out of the small block, and
this is even topped with a year-correct Holley four-barrel
carburetor. So this is a stout and well-maintained powerhouse that
makes the right torque to move this coupe with confidence. Plus,
the correct Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, and
supple ride make for a good cruising package.
The sale comes complete with desirable paperwork, including the
Protect-o-Plate warranty card and packet. This is a cool and
significant classic that remains a stylish vintage machine. So
don't let this uniquely low-mileage Impala slip away, call
today!
