1976 Chevy Caprice Estate

Sorry about the delay but we just made it home in PA at 5:30 this morning. Going to start getting it running and driving again before winter hits hard.

 

Congrats! I really like the 76 front end and this is a great color. Looking forward to more pics after you give her a bath.

 

I love it. The 76 version of my own 74. Good luck with the resto and cheers. George

 

Did some spring cleaning giving her a bath for the first time in 15 years, cleaned out the inside and got some new kicks for it

 

Excellent!

Send more pics when you can.

You landed a very desirable 1970s station wagon there.

 

Jwdtenn where do I go to find out how this one ranks umong others for rareity and how many were this color combo and things like that I want to know every detail about this car knowing what I already know about it

 

Probably your best bet would be the GM Media Archives.

For a fee of $50, you supply the VIN and GM will provide all known information of your wagon. Unfortunately, this would not include the dealer invoice, as that is only available for Chevrolets for model years 1977 and forward.
