The seller offers for sale this 1979 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, powered by a 4.9-litre V8 engine running on both petrol and LPG, paired with an automatic transmission. First registered on 21 March 1979, the car has had two owners in the Netherlands and comes with Dutch registration papers. It is finished in a light blue uni colour with, most likely, the original velour upholstery, which is described as being in good condition. Around 2018 an LPG installation was fitted, making this full-size American sedan notably economical to run.
The car was resprayed in the Netherlands a number of years ago. The seller reports that the paint shines well, although in a few places traces of masking can be seen and some overspray is visible. The chrome is described as neat, while the plastic filler panel between the body and the rear bumper shows weathering. According to the seller, the engine runs nicely on both petrol and LPG and the transmission shifts as it should, and the suspension is fitted with Gabriel shock absorbers, giving the car a solid feel on the road.
The Caprice Classic was Chevrolet’s flagship full-size model, and the downsized third generation introduced in 1977 marked a turning point in American car design, shedding weight and bulk while actually gaining interior space and refinement. The design earned widespread praise in its day, and these B-body sedans have since become appreciated classics: comfortable, straightforward to maintain and unmistakably American. With its soft velour interior, effortless V8 and economical LPG installation, this Caprice makes an appealing classic cruiser that can be enjoyed on a regular basis.
