Vehicle Detail
1968 Chevy Caprice all original with matching numbers 396ci, 325hp engine and TD 400 Transmission This is a sweet Caprice, I have had since 2005 and had been restoring until 2010. I am the second owner and car is an original Eastern Washington car, very dry. Started the restoration by sand blasting the whole vehicle down to bare metal, found some rust that needed repairing, replaced both lower quarter panels and patched both front fenders with all new metal. Then primer, body work and original Chevy red paint, base coat clear coat, buffed to glass finish. New windshield, original side and back glass and new vinyl top. interior was fully gone threw in all original color ways, new carpet, head liner, seats and cushions recovered. New dash pad and dash repainted. stereo was installed in glove box, with aux cable. Two ten inch MTX sub woofers, and 600 watt amp, sounds great and trunk and quarter panels are Dynamatted. Trunk is also fulling boxed in and carpeted to match sub box and inside of trunk lid, looks really clean and simple. 22" wire wheels have been installed and look sharp on this car, i really like the look and it turns heads although not for everyone, so I can offer original wheels, white walls and hub caps, please let me know if that is the way you like it before bidding. 22" wheels are in good shape with a couple small imperfections and chrome is not perfect. tires are good. Now for the Best thing ever!!! The all original never molested, never pulled out only tuned up and kept in tip top shape, the 396ci, 325 hp big block Chevy. This thing is a beast. never had a better sound more power or a better looking block. I love this engine and was the main reason I bought the car. Numbers all match and can be decoded in the pictures. Carburetor was rebuilt a little while ago and starts up and runs so smooth, no stall or delays. New radiator, and fluids and everything checked regularly. New battery was just installed, due to sitting for a while. new Magnaflow dual exhaust also installed and sounds perfect. I have spent a ton of time and energy to make this Caprice a head turning, fun, easy to own car. so many parts where purchased threw classic industries, including lights, interior parts, chrome belt moldings, metal replacement parts, and tons more. Lots of pictures, and documentation of the restoration. will include with sale. Thanks a ton for looking and happy bidding, any questions feel free to email.
