For Sale 1974 Caprice Classic Convertible

excellent condition to drive or show! (same body style as Impala) 

 Minimal effort to make showroom quality!

I have owned this car for close to ten years.  It has been garaged all it's life and it shows.  It still has the original top, a little worn around the edges but still soft, pliable, and by no means needs replaced.  The back glass is actual glass, and the top functions very well.  I live in South Central Illinois and use the car for vacationing.  My wife and I have driven it to the California Coast, Las Vegas, and Florida several times.  During a trip out west we had a blow out and dinged all 4 corners of the car.  It has since been repaired to factory specs.  This happened around 2005 the hood and the trunk lid were about the only thing that was not repainted.   My wife and I prefer having a nice quiet vacation rather than an adventure so an undependable car would be out of the question.  We have since drove the car to Florida 4 or 5 times.  The car still drives, runs, shifts, and Handles as it should.  I would not be afraid to jump in this car right now and drive it to anywhere in the Continental US. and back home.  If you are the winning bidder keep in mind that you could fly in and drive it home.  It is that dependable!

     

    This car does get poor mileage any where from 11mpg to 15mpg at best are the results I have experienced.

 

I have modified a few things to make the car more user friendly.

 Mods :

Air conditioner has been switched to the new freon

Electronic ignition

Distributor curved

Tilt Wheel

Dual exhaust all the way back

Rear Air shocks

Am Fm cd mp3 player Xm compatible

 

 

I did not keep the original parts except for the original steering column.  I really do not wish to sell the car but, my wife asked if I would consider thinning out my toys.

So for ONE TIME ONLY!!!!! I will list this car.

I encourage anyone to come look at the Convertible before bidding if this is not possible please email me with questions. Do not assume anything, this is almost a 40 year old vehicle and I want your purchase to be a pleasant one with no regrets.   If you're like me you'll always have buyers remorse.  In the case of this car I have not regretted owning it one moment, and I paid a premium price for it.

If you do not have the means to purchase and maintain this vehicle I urge you not to bid, all bidders with a Feed back score less than 25 positive feedback at 100% must email me before bidding.  Other wise I will be forced to decline your bid.    I am also requesting a $200.00 nonrefundable payment to be made right at auction close, for listing fees.  This will be applied to the balance at the time of purchase of the high bidder.

 

  Please note the car is for sale locally also, so the auction can end at anytime.

 

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

  I will assist in anyway I can to help this process but do not assume anything, ask first.  Also I do not wish to sell internationally.

   The car will not be shipped or the title sent to the new owner until payment has cleared the bank.  Cash always works best!

  Thank You for taking the time to read the full auction description,  if you have any questions or request more pictures please email me early in the auction.  I may not be able to answer your request in the eleventh hour.
