1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic

Description

This is it, the end of the line for Chevy's full-sized convertibles. The 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic was the last year you could get a big, comfortable, and flashy Chevy in an attractive ragtop package. GM discontinued it with the gas crunch and safety regulations of the mid 70's, which makes this very affordable and pristine classic a rare gem today.

The paint looks great today. The big red panels are extremely well taken care of and give off a great shine as they have been protected in a garage most of the vehicles life. Then again, this convertible lived an easy life so far, and so it shouldn't be a surprise that the sheetmetal is also so straight. The contrasting white body moldings are a purely '70s design element, and it ties in nicely with the white top. Brightwork is a big deal with these '70s cruisers, and so it's great to see it complete on everything from the big bumpers, to the headlight surrounds, to the intricate waterfall grille. Of course, the rear fender skirts and wire wheel caps (with correct Chevrolet markings) just make this cool classic cruiser look amazing.

If you liked the way the white top coordinated with the paint, you'll love the way the white interior does so, too. When a convertible's interior is this nice, and still appears original, you know it hasn't been left out in the sunshine too long over the years. The white seats are quite complete; the matching door panels are firm and intact; and the black carpeting remains plush – it's the kind of preservation you love to have on your classic cruiser. And more than just well presented, as a top of the line Chevy, this one came with plenty of options. It includes power locks, tilt steering column, AM/FM cassette radio, and cruise control. But the set of features we know you're going to love the most are the power windows and power folding roof. Together, those mean you don't have to leave the driver's set to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. There's even R134a air conditioning!

Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch V8. These are easily upgradeable, but that might be a shame to do on this one that looks so factory correct. In fact, not only is this believed to be the original motor, but it's also believed that the odometer could reflect the actual mileage of the car! And so if it has averaged less than 1,150 miles annually, you can understand why it all looks so well preserved. But more than just a history piece, this is made for the boulevard. The three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the V8 has a four-barrel carburetor for an extra helping of power and torque. This large classic has a plush ride that's supplemented by the power steering, front disc brakes, and sway bars front & rear.
