The Caprice was made available in a variety of body styles ranging from a four-door hardtop, station wagon, and a coupe, Chevrolet sold 181,000 units of the Caprice during the 1966 model year alone, and those figures exclude sales of the station wagon.

Read on, for more reasons on why you shouldn’t miss out on this finely maintained cruiser.
Exterior and Interior
The Caprice Coupe of this era chose to trade fastback looks for a more formal roofline which is rather useful should you wish to invite a few friends to tag along. This 1966 Chevrolet Caprice Coupe comes with a black vinyl top and stunning Daytona Blue paintjob with a nice set of period ‘mag wheels’, wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial T/A tires. Furthermore, this is reported to be an engine-and-transmission matching-numbers car. The interior is done in black leather and has its original trimmings, as well as the AM/FM radio. The bevy of auxiliary gauges down low in the center console are another point of interest that could spark an interesting conversation.
Engine
Powering this 1966 Chevrolet Caprice Coupe is a 327ci small-block V8 that breathes through a 4-barrel carburetor to churn out a respectable for the time 275 hp, and given its condition, it’s unlikely that many will have escaped the stables along the way. Power is channeled to the rear wheels via GM’s sturdy two-speed Powerglide transmission. Power steering and power brakes are present to help control and rein in the 3,500+ lb land yacht when required.
Few automobiles capture the spirit of 1970s American luxury cruising quite like the Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible. As Chevrolet’s flagship full-size passenger car, the Caprice combined comfort, style, and effortless V8-powered motoring in a package designed for open-road enjoyment. This 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible shows just 72,653 miles and presents as a wonderfully preserved example finished in a timeless red and white color combination. With its spacious cabin, power-operated convertible top, and unmistakable full-size proportions, this Caprice offers buyers the opportunity to own one of the last great American convertibles of the era. Whether displayed at local shows or enjoyed on weekend drives, it embodies the relaxed luxury and presence that made the Caprice nameplate so popular.
The Chevy Caprice was the most popular model in the United States in the Sixties and Seventies. It was a full-sized car and offered in a variety of body styles. Produced between 1965 and 1996, and then again from 2000 until 2017, the Caprice is remembered to this day as a mainstay of American automobile culture. It’s also been immensely popular as a police car, more prominently on the silver screen than in real life of course, given its role in numerous, tire-squealing chases. Today’s 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Restomod is from a little earlier in the Caprice’s story, as it’s a first-generation example. However, it’s a fine example that’s up for grabs in Pittsburg, California, with 67,332 miles on its 327ci V8. Join us as we delve deeper into its essence and discover why it’s a one-of-a-kind.
The Chevy Caprice was introduced in 1965 as Chevy’s full-size family offering. It ran until 1996, as a sensible and dependable transporter for countless American families, but was resurrected in 2000 for a further seventeen years, made by GM subsidiary Holden in Australia. The Caprice has also seen some use as a police car, and not just in the United States, but overseas as well. So, it’s a nameplate with some history and legacy attached to it. Today, we have a 59,057-mile, third-generation 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic for sale from Stone Mountain, Georgia. With its deep maroon plush velour interior, Pioneer head unit and V8 power, it’s a definite classic car for those who don’t run after more common models.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
