First offered as a sport sedan option in 1965, the Caprice became its own luxury series in 1966, with a host of accessories. Similar to the Impala in four-door hardtop and six- and nine-passenger station wagons, the two-door hardtop had its own formal roofline.
The Caprice line was aimed at Ford’s LTD, and 181,000 Caprices were sold in 1966, excluding station wagons. Engines ranged from 283-cid, 327-cid, and 396-cid V-8s, with a 390-hp 427-cid option at the top. This 1966 Caprice sports the 327-cid, rated at 350 horsepower. The owner states the original block is still in place; however, a set of 202 "PowerPak" heads, a more aggressive camshaft and a set of exhaust headers help get the most out of this powerplant! A 2 speed Powerglide transmission delivers that power to the rear wheels. Other modifications include: Chevy Rally wheels with Corvette-inspired Beauty Rings, an aftermarket exhaust system and a black vinyl roof. Originally a white hardtop, the black vinyl helps the beautiful white paint stand out! The owner states he purchased this Caprice from the original owner's family about 9 years ago and all the work has completed since then.
