Vehicle Description
This is a documented all-original numbers matching beauty that has
been babied its whole life and is a real must see!!First offered as
a sport sedan option in 1965, the Caprice became its own luxury
series in 1966, with a host of accessories. Similar to the Impala
in four-door hardtop and six- and nine-passenger station wagons,
the two-door hardtop had its own formal roofline.The Caprice line
was aimed at Fords LTD, and 181,000 Caprices were sold in 1966,
excluding station wagons. Engines ranged from 283-cid, 327-cid, and
396-cid V-8s, with a 390-hp 427-cid option at the top.Along with
the rest of the full-size Chevrolet line, Caprices were completely
re-skinned for 1967, with bodies being smoothed out, the grille
wrapping around the front fenders, a pinch added to the coke bottle
rear fender line, and a smoother flowing roofline. As before, the
two-door hardtop Caprice had a unique formal roof, shared with no
other model. Caprice hardtop and coupe production totaled 124,500
for 1967.The 1968 Caprice was stretched two inches and wore a new
grille, offering the option of hidden headlights. The covered
headlights are a rare option to find now, as few buyers plunked
down the extra $82. The rear bumper was redesigned as a huge single
beam with integrated taillights, which made for expensive rear-end
repairs. Caprices remained V-8 powered, though the new base engine
was a bigger 307-cid unit.The Caprice was redesigned again in 1969,
with a loop front bumper being the prominent new feature, but the
cars retained the chrome beam with inset lights at the rear. The
sides of the car were sculptured around the wheel wells. Engines
ranged from the 327-cid V-8 to 427-cid big block.The 1970 model
year was the last variation of the 1966 Caprice body style, and the
new 1971 models would be vastly different and substantially larger.
The 1970 models can be recognized by fenders capped over the
headlights and a return to a simple front bumper. All vehicles are
