"Love it or hate it, you can't deny that the new Caprice Classic
makes eyeballs pop. Its shape marks a brave departure from the
boxy, staid lines of Chevrolet's previously baked in GM's big car
mold. No stale air of same old same old around this predator. No,
the air almost crackles within Chevrolet's tech center. It's
electric with debate: will the latest king size Caprice be found
largely capricious, unexpectedly capable, or truly classic?" Car
and Driver, Aug. 1990 on the release of the new 1991 Caprice
Classic
For consignment, a 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 door sedan with
a title verified 69,642 actual miles. According to our consignor,
this car has 9C1 upgrades without being a fleet car, (note there is
no 9C1 on the SPID decal). Naturally, if features a 5.7 liter LT1
V8 under that long hood.
Exterior
Two stage Medium Garnet Red graces our can and for a car that had
been traditionally square, the '95 is replete with rounded edges, a
tall egg shaped cabin, and body colored bumper covers. What remains
however is a formidable fascia, a wide grille, flanked here with
composite headlights in front of an enormous hood that slopes
slightly in front of a raked windshield, likely outperforming its
predecessor by bounds in the wind tunnel. Out back, flush oval tail
lights also act as the terminus for the large panel of the trunk
lid and a fixed rear quarter window extends the tinted greenhouse
as silver trim and a pinstripe add more visual interest to the
profile. 15-inch lace style wheels carry 235/70R15 tires with a
late 2020 date code. The exterior is in excellent condition with
imperfections noted only as clear coat issues with the wheels, a
common GM issue in the 90's.
Interior
Burgundy appears in different textures on the door panels where a
vinyl coated armrest over a dark red carpeted are handsomely
augmented by simulated woodgrain trim on the switchgear panels, and
all four doors are in very nice condition. The classic split bench
in dark red leather shows some slight patina and compression on the
driver's side but in great shape everywhere else, including the
massive back bench. The color keyed steering wheel fronts a more
compact instrument cluster than in early iterations with a central
digital screen flanked by idiot lights and square gauges. To the
right, a Delco AM/FM/Cassette radio is over a simple A/C panel all
in a woodgrain frame. Plush burgundy carpet below is in excellent
condition and the padded velour headliner above also lacks notable
damage or age. Golfing or going on a long trip? The gargantuan
trunk will accommodate and do so dressed in gray flannel panels
that finish the space cleanly, housing a cargo net and covered
spare.
Drivetrain
A an open air filter provides fresh air to the clean 5.7 liter LT1
V8, pumping out a healthy 260 horsepower and utilizing fuel
injection to received gasoline. It's mated to a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission that sends power to the 10 bolt rear with
2.93 gears and Positraction, so two wheel burnouts are a thing.
Undercarriage
Driver quality conditions prevail underneath with a substantial
coating of surface rust throughout but just a few drops of oil on
the pan. The rest is free of dirt and grease. Our dual exhaust
system still flows through original equipment mufflers and
resonators and exits discretely behind the rear bumper. Power disc
brakes stop the left wheels while power drums back up the rear.
Suspension is standard with coil springs all around and a 4 link in
back.
Drive-Ability
Roomy would be understating the expanse of the interior which
provides ample room for front and rear occupants. The LT1 comes to
life without hesitation and the car rolls around our loop like the
highway cruiser it is with adequate power, a road smoothing ride,
and lots of comfort and visibility. This pampered passenger car
checks all the boxes for functionality and we return it to the mall
to get some real estate under the lights. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
Think of it as a luxury version of the Impala SS because
essentially that's what we have here. Handsome, powerful, and
extremely road worthy, this big Caprice brings back all the great
memories once had by the 153,000 Caprices built in '95. So many
were used to death, it's nice to see a survivor that captures all
the great elements of a now uncommon car.
