    "Caprice..............124,500
    Station Wagon....(total)152,100"


    I'm sure Caprice wagons would've been pretty popular, but wagons got used and abused then scrapped or parted out for convertibles or coupes. They're still some out there, but less people will want to restore a wagon and some will still get parted.

    E2EZ is for the tinted glass, I believe, and even a 6cyl. was available!
    List price for that car, brand new, was under $4,000!
    [was working a dealer then, and checked 'em all out! Could get a 427 - 425HP, M-22, 4:10 posi with AM-FM Stereo Biscayne for $2250 - out the door!!!!]

    Is there anyway to find out the color code for the interior? According to the Protacto-plate it's blue but how do I know I get the right blue?

    I found out on Hemmings that my Satty was one of only 5391 produced, it's no wonder I had a hard time in my search for a fender and threshold. Nice bowtie though I have to think that many many wagons from the 60's and 70's ended up as derby cars, the first offer I ever got for my car the guy told me it was "one of the best derby cars ever built". I told him "not for sale pal, this ones going to be my baby".

    A very nice wagon!
    I'll take it in Swedish from here. It's a bit easier to write for me :)

    Ruskigt fin stationsvagn du skaffat dig.

    Enligt de koder jag hittat på nätet, (http://www.thepoormansoffchassisrestoration.com/chevybp7.html) och om jag tyder de rätt, så verkar det bara funnits en blå kulör på inredningen till Caprice? Osäker om det stämmer dock.

    Koden "836" på bodyplaten ska enligt avkodaren tydas som blå och att allt är vinyl.
    "834" t.ex. betyder blått tyg (på sittytorna) med blå vinyl runtom.
    Å andra sidan är även koderna "835" och "837" koder för blå vinyl.

    Sen har du ett "A" efter "836" på din bodyplate. Kan betyda helsoffa.

    Problemet med dessa koder är att de olika fabrikerna inte gjorde samma överallt. En del utelämnade vissa koder, andra inkluderade koder för accessories. Så är även fallet med Pontiacs bodyplates, vilka är de jag kan mest om.

    Här är ännu en länk till en sida där man skriver om skillnaderna på bodyplates på de olika fabrikerna och hur plåtarna ska tydas. Dt är visserligen en Chevelle-sida men jag tror det gäller för Chevrolet rent allmänt:
    http://macswebs.com/cddemo/67cd/documentation/body_plate/body_plate_decoding.html

    Du har väl förstås kollat efter om det finns någon buildsheet gömd någonstans?

    Tack för informationen. Har inte hittat någon buildsheet än, ska byta stoppning på framsoffan i vinter så ska kolla om den ligger under klädseln där. Frågan är ju vad man ska välja för färg på den nya golvmattan?, tycker att den väldigt ljusblå invändigt.

    Kör på det färgval som sitter i redan. Alltså mörkblå golvmatta.
    Då slipper du dessutom måla om kickpanelerna och byta mattan i nederkant på dörrsidorna. Om du menar gummimattan kan du ta även den i mörkblått.

    lol, yeah... I was about to say, "huh"? I thought my computer had went nuts. LOL. :D (y) Earlier one of my friends from China had posted on Facebook a long post in Chinese... again, I was like, "huh"? :D

    I used to know a girl from Sweden, she was an exchange student and we were in high school together (ironically in Spanish class and she made straight A's!)... I loved to hear her talk in Swedish. I didn't know what she was saying when she did, but I loved to hear her talk. One of the nicest girls in school. I never seen her again after that and that was around late '92?

    Oh yeah, that '67 Caprice Estate is amazing! I love it. My great-grandmother had a '67 Impala SS that had the exact same interior color. She bought the car brand new (traded in a '61 Impala convertible!) for it. She owned the car until 1993, gave it to her son, he gave it to his son and his son crashed it and I think it ended up in a salvage yard down the road in the early 2000s.
