1966 Chevrolet Caprice 396 This 1966 Caprice with only 67k actual miles is a true time capsule. It runs and drives incredible and I would not hesitate to take it across country. It is documented with a copy of the original Dealer Invoice. The 396/325hp V8 engine is the one it left the factory with (vin and broach marks clearly visible on the deck pad), and it has its original Turbo 400 transmission and 12 Bolt rear. Factory options include Power Steering, Power Brakes, Factory Gauges, AM Pushbutton radio with Rear Speaker, Deluxe Seat Belts, Tinted Windshield, Trunk Light, Air Conditioning, Astro Bucket Seats with Headrests, and Front and Rear Floor Mats. The car runs and drives amazing! Every engine component is original to the car with the exception of the water pump and starter. The engine was recently rebuilt and up until then the engine bay was untouched. When the engine was rebuilt it was also repainted so I went ahead and touched up the air cleaner and radiator so the whole engine bay looks nice and clean. The underhood still retains its factory black paint with a hint of Aztec Bronze. The hood insulation was falling apart so I removed it but new molded hood insulation is available if the new owner wishes to replace it. The car has its original exhaust manifolds and part of the original single exhaust pipes. There were several holes in the pipes so NOS Walker tailpipes with resonators were located and the exhaust was changed to dual with OEM style mufflers which keep it quiet in the car with just a little rumble outside which is perfect for this car. The car still retains most of its original Aztec Bronze factory paint with the exception of an area touched up on the hood, some repaint on the right rear quarter panel and some touch up on the driver side. As far as I can tell the rest of the paint is original and in fantastic condition for its age. It does show minor lacquer checking and a few dings and paint chips here and there. The car is completely rust free and has never had any rust repair. All the sheetmetal is original including the trunk and floorpans. The vinyl top and all the brightwork and chrome is original as is the glass. The car is riding on 15" Ralley Wheels with new Coker radial redline tires. The factory Bronze Bucket Seat interior is completely original and is in exceptional condition! All gauges, lights, heater, AC work with the exception of the clock. The AM radio works great. The AC blows hard and blows cool, but not as cold as it should be. I have a can of R12 but haven't been able to find anyone with the needed equipment to top it off yet. The compressor works fine and I'm sure that after all these years that's all it needs to blow ice cold. The drivers seat has a few places where the stitching is beginning to pull apart and there are a couple of areas on the dash where the paint is peeled, but other than that the interior is in amazing original condition. It even has the original Aztec Bronze floor mats! This car is always a hit at car shows and constantly turns heads with its stunning color combination of Aztec Bronze with Bronze interior. It is a dream to drive as it floats down the road with power to spare. The power steering, automatic transmission and air conditioning make for one fantastic summer cruiser!
