Weird vinyl trim + chrome??

 

Interesting wagon....

Appears to be an original 'woody' Caprice, because his Di-noc is in the same places the original stuff would have been. Original surround moldings as well ('67's just had plain chrome moldings - no 'woodgrain' moldings like the '66 or '68...)

Also - be nice to have an actual price on it......

 

Da-Yup, KK is correct about the wood....

 

Guess I'm getting old - I worked at a Chevy dealer from '66 to '68 and don't remember?!?!

 

Yup. My dad bought a new '66 Caprice wagon about half-way through the model year. A few months later when the (much more stylish IMO) '67's came out I went "Why couldn't dad have waited a few months....?"

 

Yup, I can still remember those days when next years models always ruled over the year before...... then 1973/74 happened and ya wished for the last model year

 

I've always felt that...love '72 Chevrolets, but '73 and '4, not so much.

I must've been born too late then. I like the 60, the 61, 64, 65-66, the 70 a little bit, the 72 some, but over all others (except maybe '65) the 73-75 Impalas are my favorites.

 

I like the way those color work together. Sweet looking ride.

I still don't know what to think about a newer motor in a vintage car. It just feels weird and wrong, like swimming with your shoes on.

 

Very sweet wagon. I always loved the body lines on these, too. Love the way the colours work together on this, and much easier to maintain on a driver than the wood grain. When it comes to the engine (and hopefully transmission) I can understand doing the conversion for a car that you are going to drive regularly. Miles better performance and big time advantage in the gas mileage over stock. The good thing is that at least it is all Chevy in a Chevy. What I dislike is to put a Chevy engine into a Ford, or what have you.
