VERY NICE !!! PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE tell me what that INTERIOR color is. What blue is that ? Is it Bright Blue ? Medium Bright Blue ? Is your trim tag 832 ??? I have one with the same interior and I'm trying to match the paint...please help ! Thanks my friend
another big car was the coupe! i love these cars man! sum people dont know alot about the old CADDYS, my buddy hada 70 deville, it was huge, but it was the coupe, so it was SEXY! bout 10 yrs ago, it was unrestored wit the orig 472 plant! they made bout 375hp and almost 500tq factory. that thing wud crank good donuts, and it was a SITE! back then there was no OD tranys, so in a cruiser it wasnt normal havn 410s, but getn on the highway it wud put u in ur seat! wuda luvd 2 see that wit sum 373s!
love this car, love that in most years u could get a 4 speed with a car like this, but seeing a floor shift auto in a car that youd expect a hockey stick on the column is AWSOME! Gm was badass in the 60s/early 70s. The caprice was a car you could drive a lil league team around in with enuff room in the trunk for the Gear.Having the option to getit wit 2 doors and a SMOKIN 427/454 70+ is AWSOME! what a gorgeous car that honestly we dont see enuff of!
All your time and attention to detail really DOES show....Just looking at the car in your video, it is obvious that every nut/bolt/detail was thoughtfully attended to....That Caprice is beautifully original, how many hours/years did this restoration take? I wish I had the ability/time/money to revive my 73 Caprice convertible!
If I had a gorgeous car like this I'd NEVER do a burnout..even with water on the ground! I'd definitely drive it, and drive it fast when it was safe to do so (like on the Interstate), without abusing it. These cars were meant to be luxo-cruisers, and that's what they do best.
This car deserves the best of care and it is designed to last for many years of driving enjoyment,.Bill H.
Why do you think he "NEEDED" the water? An assumption? The sprinkler system just happened to be on, and if you just spent $100,000 restoring a car to Concours D'Elegance standards like this one, would you go out and smoke the tires off? This car had only 10 miles on it when we shot this. The first thing on the owners mind was not to go out and try to break something. Using water puts a lot less strain on the drivetrain. Any videos of your burnouts?
No would you like me to take some for you? and trust me if you do burnouts right you have no risk at "breaking something". Ive drag raced my entire life and if you break something doing a burn out then you put together a pretty shitty vehicle
Beauty of a car man! My father years back had one like that, hardtop, coppertone, with black interior! Never forget as being a little kid, one day we were out, and he tried to teach her how to drive it, this was a 4 speed manual, and she was not familiar with manual transmissions!
Wow -- sure brings back memories. I had a no-frills, green, 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne, 2-door sedan with 396 Turbojet, Turbo-Hydromatic, Rochester 4 bbl, one exhaust pipe, 15-inch wheels and tiny hubcaps. Former RCMP highway patrol vehicle. Picked it up in '68. Damn near didn't make it out of the '60's alive. Wish I still had it. Don't know how many horses, but it went real quick.
I had the exact same car with the "396" 325 HP, it had A.C. power everything,including the console mounted stereo and wooden steering wheel in silver with black vinyl roof. I bought it in 1968 from a guy in Oklahoma , it was truly a great car ,it was faster and had more luxury options than most G.M cars of the day. I miss it to this day!
OMG im blown away on how clean this car is, i have a 66 caprice imperial blue 327/powerslide,lol, building a sport sedan out of it, i love the lines on this car so clsssic and just a one of a kind car. any help on trim parts please let me know???
Clean isn't the word for it...It's actually a 100 pt perfect restoration. Don't let the fact that he did a burnout with it fool you. See more on this car "EPISODE 4 - Leighs Garage" on the backyard wrenchHEADS TV site.
my dad had a BEUTIFULE light blue 66, I was brought home from the hospitle in that car. Unfortuanatly he took the motor out and sent the rest of the car to the junk yard, I had to watch it go through the crusher. Do you have any idea what thats like?
The 1966 full sized Chevys were beautiful. A neighbor of mine in L.A. had a white Caprice w/black vinyl top/interior and as I remember wire hubcaps. Great car!
awesome!!! that's it...i'm saving up to get my hands on one. dad used to have one when i was a kid. i'm 29 now, and i gotta get this! nothing new really appeals to me. this is my favorite car ever. love the old schools...
