This is it, the end of the line for Chevy's full-sized convertibles. The 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic was the last year you could get a big, comfortable, and flashy Chevy in an attractive ragtop package. So when one of these rare finale cars is available in its correct colors, numbers-matching 400ci V8, and offered at an affordable price, you know you're looking at a true gem.The factory-correct Bright Blue Metallic is the perfect color to convey the Caprice's premium image and this convertible's sunny nature. It's been treated to a respray over its lifetime so that it still gives off a nice gloss as you cruise all weekend long. The body panels retain the cresses like a newly pressed suit and the doors shut with confidence, so you know there has been care in this car's lifetime. Contrasting white body molding are a purely '70s design element that work quite nicely as it coordinates with the well-fitting white top. Brightwork is a big deal with these '70s cruisers, and so it's great to see it complete on everything from the big bumpers to the intricate waterfall grille. Of course, the wire wheel covers with correct Chevrolet markings just makes the whole package look amazing.When a convertible's interior is this nice, and still appears original, you know it hasn't been left out in the sunshine too long over the years. The white seats are quite complete; the matching door panels are firm and intact; and the blue carpeting remains plush it's the kind of preservation you love to have on your classic cruiser. And more than just well presented, as a top of the line Chevy, this one came with plenty of options. It includes power seats, power locks, tilt steering column, AM/FM cassette radio, and cruise control (did you spot the original factory "Cruise master" explanation tag hanging off the stalk?) But the set of features we know you're going to love the most are the power windows and power folding roof. Together, those mean you don't have to leave the driver's set to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. There's even provisions for air conditioning if you want to say cool while looking cool.Under the hood the numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch V8 presented in an exceptionally original condition. The optional larger small-block and four-barrel carburetor means this Caprice has an extra helping of power and torque to move the luxury Chevy with a bit of muscle car force. You can tell by the fresh belts & hoses, as well as the tidy overall setup, that there has been the right care applied to the motor over the years. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering and front disc brakes, and this is a great cruising package that needs nothing added, except you behind the wheel.Complete with original documents, including the owner's manual, this is the last of the great big Chevy droptops. So hurry up before someone else figures out they can pick up a rare and luxurious classic convertible for the price of a small family sedan. Call today!!!
