Late 80s Caprice are the best

[@joejones6968]

I grew up with these GM cars. Such awesome memories. These cars were actually very reliable, and super easy to repair, as well as drive them. No, you wasnt going to win any races with these Old Chevrolets Caprice/Impala/Pontiac Parisienne, But these cars were absolutely the best working class cars.

[@JennVix]

I also love them, and I loved working on them myself.

[@ericjones4880]

In the high end GM cars the 70’s and 80’s in was a feature in the cars to have waste basket! The base engine was a 305 - 5.0 or a 350- 5.7 if order , but I think it was 1 of the best designs of ‘79 Chevy Caprice Classic!

[@sidgysoho1960]

The 350 was a rarity in these cars of 1979 unless a person ordered the trailer package. It was likely a 305 if not the smaller 267 CI V-8. I had a 1978 police Biscayne with the 5.7 (350 CI) Z28 engine and in 1978 that was nothing special.

@@sidgysoho1960 4.3L EFI V6 was amazing on mpg on the freeway and had plenty of power very similar to the 5 liter 305 v8. I would still buy a v8 version of the caprice just for the sound when cruising. From experience you cannot hear the v6 nor would you want to.

The kick panel waste container was a part of certain interior option packages on Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Le Sabre, Oldsmobile Delta 88, and Pontiac Pariesienne cars of the late 1970s through the 1980s. It was also available most years as a separate option for most model years on those cars -- quite often the waste container was covered with carpet that matched the carpets on the floor. Back in the day, the class III/IV receiver hitch was often included on full-size GM cars that were optioned to tow travel trailers. I had one on my 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham Luxury Sedan for towing my 1978 Argosy Minuet 6.0 Metre travel trailer. My favorite car of those that you have featured is: First Wash in 40 Years: Abandoned Bonneville Barn Find Bonneville Disaster Detail!! || -- 1960s through 1970s Pontiac convertibles are a particular favorite of mine.

[@tbirdhomer]

The trash bin probably was factory. My parents had a Cadillac that had the factory bin in that same corner. Of course Cadillac’s was more fancy - color matching and carpeted. This one fixed up with some black steel wheels and dog dish caps would be such an awesome dad car.

This car is an icon in the Middle East and gulf countries Still fully stored ones are being sold up to this day They were reliable and a workhorse along with GM family at that time So nostalgic as they were memorable What a find and good job with the detail Keep it up

[@SiriusStarGazer]

That car would have been sweet to detail. In my humble opinion, when you understand life, you never show sentiments or attachment to material things. You have had it and enjoyed it. Move on! As a matter of fact, you would have been doing her a favour to detail the car and restore it to its original look as best.

[@absentstars474]

Sad to see it collecting dust and rust.

[@C3Gaming1]

I agree, but you also have to think of the era she was in. How many female racers were there in her time? That screams independence and breaking the mold and cycles of gender roles. To have a guy that is young enough to be her great great grandson asking to clean her car, she probably wants nothing to do with that. That’s just how I interpret it. But you’re right…I bet she has so,e amazing memories and stories.

[@himmlr7382]

The days of interior designs and beautiful colors are not like today, all Americans have their cars with black interiors.

[@Gratefulman1965]

The best American car detail you have done on this channel would be the 51’ Cadillac or the old Blue Nash episodes. Classic American design and you made those two cars really shine! Keep up the good work!

[@gsfdallas3464]

The white label on the fan shroud will tell you the engine size on the top left corner, if readable. Also that litter container is a factory option. It is common in GM cars of that era. It would be color coded to match the interior. This one must come from a black interior car.

[@guillermodiaz884]

7:38 in the Caprice Classic they were three engine options, there was the 250 cubic inch (4.1 liters) inline six with a one barrel carburetor, a 305 cubic inch (5.0 liter) V8 with a two barrel carburetor and a a 350 cubic inch (5.7liters) V8 with a four barrel carburetor from the factory, if that car has the original four barrel intake manifold it's a factory 350ci but there's people that might do something like I did, I have a two door 79 Caprice Classic and it was from the factory a 305ci with a two barrel carburetor and I did a four barrel intake manifold swap in my 305

[@boozysmurf]

Came here to say this. It got even more convoluted with some of the sister cars, and wagons. I had 3 parissienne's (1980 sedan, 305cu.in, 1988 safari wagon (350 cu.in) and an '86 safari wagon with wood paneling and an Oldsmobile 307cu.in. God, I hated that engine.)

In 1980 I bought a new Chevy Monza. The door panels were made of that crumbly plastic fantastic material, with exception of the tops of the armrests. After only 2 years, all that plastic began to fade and decompose, as did the rest of the vehicle. This Caprice has held up better.

That car was considered kind of luxury back when it came out. It road like luxury and very comfortable to drive. They were tanks when cops had them for cars. I know personally. Drove and worked on many back then in the public works garage I worked in. We even still have some old crown Vic’s we still have hanging around. The cops don’t want to get rid of them. Older ones are better than the new crap out. A damn shame.

I love the new look to this old Chevy Caprice, the one I have is an 89 model and it needs a lot of work done to it but I just don't have the income to restore it, But I would love to restore it in the memory of my dad and mom, my dad loved the old car and my mom loved the same type of cars and others as well, Mom has been gone 31 years and dad has been gone a year and 8 months now, Hopefully someday I might be able to get it restored if it doesn't turn to dust on me before then, I love old cars and this car is sentimental to me because dad drove it for years and then I owned it after him and then I had to park it because it was just getting to bad of shape to be driven anymore, but getting it restored would be Awesome especially in memory of my dad and mom
