Here we have for your consideration is a 1974 Caprice Convertible, this is a factory 454 car that has always been Tuxedo black with a black interior and a white top. I have the GM Documentation to verify this..The motor is NOT the original 454 the car came with, It runs good with decent power, the Positraction 2:73 rear gear ratio makes it a great highway cruiser. This car was last insured approx 5 years ago ..The turbo 400 had a slight leak so it was removed, internally inspected and completely inspected and re-sealed by a local transmission shop, at that time new steel cooler lines were installed, rather than re-use the rubber lines that had been previously used in the car. the transmission works well, has a firm shift and does shift into drive at a little higher rpm due to a shift kit that was installed many years ago .. The seats were redone when the car was painted some 15 years ago..It now sports a bench seat from a 67 Impala with the fold down armrest, the back seat was stitched to match the front, at this time the top was redone,It has a few small tears near the rear drivers window as shown , but the rest of the top is in great shape. The power top mechanism is not working at this time, needs new cable to be functional. I put the top down for some photos and found one short cross bar that goes to a front cross support had come apart.....New carpet and sill plates. Dash is good, no major cracks ,as are the door panels, I think the odd clip is needed for the panels but there are NO SPEAKER HOLES....The floors in the car are good, it has had one patch panel on the drivers side behind the seat ,. The trunk is solid as well but does have some moisture under the carpet. The trim on the car is OK, the rear taillights bezels and area around the license plate are a little rough, the passengers side bezel has a dent in it as well as a mark in the bumper just below that. The body on the car seems solid, I would rate the paint between a 7.5 to 8, It has a few small dents and scratches on the passengers side, the car is fairly straight with a decent shine to the paint ,but has it's niks, so don't be looking for perfect paint..It's a good 10 footer but shows some wear up close..Tires are about 80-85% on Rallye Wheels with newer re-pop trim rings and caps. The car drives , or should I say floats along as they all do..I would say the car will need the shocks replaced.. dual exhaust has a decent sound, not brappy or noisy just a set of duals with Turbo mufflers and chrome tips... Over all this is a decent car, NOT PERFECT . Tinker with it,or drive it as is,...you could have yourself a RARE, BIG BLOCK, BLACK ON BLACK rag top for cruising. According to the GM Documents I have for the car...only 346 Convertibles were sold in Canada , 68 with the LS4 big block, 38 with G-80 positrac rear and 51 with the K/05 block heater.... all options this car came factory equipped with !
