As the last year of Caprice production, this full-size wagon stands as a rare and increasingly collectible example of Chevrolet's body-on-frame, V8-powered family hauler. Even more impressive, only 485 Caprice wagons were built for the 1996 model year, making it far rarer than its Buick Roadmaster sibling and a true standout among 1990s domestic wagons.Purchased new at Kool Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this Caprice has remained a well-documented and carefully preserved example throughout its life. Finished in Bright White (16U) over Ruby Custom Cloth (79C), the color combination is period-correct and quintessentially Chevrolet, offering a clean and classic appearance that highlights the wagon's long, elegant profile. With just 68,000 original miles, it presents as an honest, unmolested survivor from a bygone era.Power comes from the legendary LT1 5.7-liter SFI V8, paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. Known for its durability and torque-rich performance, the LT1 provides effortless highway cruising and confident passing power, making this Caprice as enjoyable to drive today as it was when new. Rear-wheel drive and traditional full-size proportions deliver the kind of ride quality and road presence modern vehicles simply no longer offer.One of the defining features of this Caprice wagon is its exceptional utility. The rear-facing third-row seat offers classic wagon charm and genuine seating for the whole family (8 passengers), while the dual-swinging tailgate provides unmatched versatility for cargo or passenger access. A factory roof rack and dual exhaust further enhance both function and appearance, underscoring this wagon's road-trip-ready character.Inside, the Caprice is generously equipped with power windows, power locks, and both driver and passenger power seats, ensuring comfort and convenience for long journeys. The interior remains inviting and original, reflecting the care this vehicle has received over the years. Books, manuals, and a copy of the original dealer invoice accompany the sale, adding significant provenance and appeal for collectors and enthusiasts alike.Tasteful upgrades include Impala SS wheels wrapped in new Hankook tires, giving the wagon a subtle performance-inspired stance while retaining its classic look. The original wire wheels are included with the sale for those who value factory originality. A comprehensive service performed at Kool Chevrolet in Fall 2025, covering shocks, rear pinion seal, fluids, filters, and rear brake lines, ensures this Caprice is mechanically sorted and ready for immediate enjoyment. With a clean CarFax and title, this exceptionally rare 1996 Caprice Classic Wagon is a turn-key, nostalgia-rich cruiser that's truly ready for the open road.
