No Reserve: 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic for sale on BaT Auctions - ending April 16 (Lot #70,789) | Bring a Trailer The Silver with blue interior looks pretty good to me.
Bidding will be interesting to follow. Now, if it were a 1976 Caprice wagon in comparable shape, all bets would be off.
I like the Silver with Blue Interior combo, but not the Blue top and Side trim. I would be a much better looking car if it was a HT. But I own a 71 Catalina 4-Door Sedan so I am used to the pillars.
Every time I see a car of this bodystyle I get nostalgic. We had a 75 Impala when I was younger, before we moved back to Washington and before the Fury. I love the looks of this Caprice. I think I would pull the fender skirts if it was mine, but other than that, I can't find one thing I don't like about it. Believe it or not Jeff, I am going to disagree with you on this one. I think the sedan bodystyle looks much better than the hardtop.
No worries, we can disagree on that, no problem, I do like the looks of a 4-Door HT, But I have run into enough sag issues on rusty examples to avoid them if they show any real rot.
Don't get me wrong, I love many four door hardtops. In a few cases I even like the four door hardtop version better than the two door version. But in some cases, such as this one, I prefer the post version over the hardtop. Just personal preference of course. Besides, if we all loved exactly the same things, it sure would be boring around here.
I almost got my aunt's '70 Impala 2-door hardtop as a 'first' car; I've talked about that on here years ago. And I owned that '70 Delta 88 Holiday Coupe for a couple years. But what I want to say now is that back then, GM's window treatments, at least in 1970, were some very eye-catching designs.
Agreed. But now you know what a really nice, really loaded Caprice will bring when it’s probably the finest example out there.
Yes. But for that price I would want it all. 454 V8, power seat and every other possible option. Very nice Caprice? Sure - but $30k ?! (And, yes, I would want the 4-door hardtop - just saying.)
