1972 Chevrolet Caprice

Description

Bridging the gap between performance and practicality, the Chevrolet Caprice was easily one of the most popular cars of the sixties and early seventies for those that wanted something a bit more practical than a Chevelle or Corvette. Packing an unassuming 400ci V8 under the hood, this beauty is ready for your next cruise night and will be sure to draw a crowd.

On the exterior, this 4 door sedan has a beautiful correct coating of code #48 Sequoia Green paint that shines and sparkles in the light. At the front, you will find a correct grille with the strong beams that attach the bumper to the frame and offers the desired bumper within a bumper design. The rear bumper mirrors the front and features the triple taillights hidden in the bumper. All the chrome work is glistening on this car and helps to make the stance of the car really stand out. Up top, the Black vinyl top offers a very nice contrast to the green body. Needless to say, this car will be a conversation starter no matter where you go as the Caprice is a model rich in history.

A lot of classic car enthusiasts consider the interiors of today's vehicles nothing compared to the interiors of the early 70's. The door panels, dash, and steering wheel all offer the beautiful wood grain trim, while the lower door panels also had the plush carpeting making the interior feel a little more luxurious. The gauges resting in the dash appear to be original including the horizontal sweep speedometer. The front bench seat, besides being clean, does offer a center armrest for added comfort. Below the seats, the carpets appear clean and plush and appear in excellent condition. Leaving the factory as a highly optioned model, this sedan does come equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and an AM radio. In the back the trunk is large and ready to store your luggage for a weekend cruise in your new classic.

Under the long green hood you'll find what is believed to be the original 400ci V8. Covered in the correct Chevrolet orange, the engine is right at home in the flat black engine bay. Bolted to the V8 is a smooth-shifting automatic that is ready for highway cruising. Underneath the Caprice, stopping power is provided by the power disc brakes in the front and power drum brakes in the rear. In front of those brakes, finishing the look of the Caprice are 15" rims that have been wrapped in 215/75/R15 whitewall tires.

Expect to take a stroll down memory lane with the crowd that'll form when you show up at the next cruise night in this beauty. They don't build them like this anymore, so get a good one and start having fun. Call now!
