1983 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"A bargain at 1100 dollars, and now it's a beauty!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coolant return line ruptured. Ball joints are sloppy and wear out quickly.
General comments?
I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Mods are easy, the seats are extremely comfortable. It drives and runds like a dream. It gets to 60 in about 6 or 7 seconds. I love it. Can't say enough good things about it. I have previously had a Crown Vic, A Grand Prix (disgusting)!!,and a Jeep Cherokee. This is my fave outside of the crown vic only because this doesn't have all the options. The thing I love is no goofy antenna sticking up. Its the windshield kind and I love that. I added Cragar white rims with a red line in them. A holley 670 Carb an edelbrock air cleaner and a hood scoop. I also pulled the door guards off and painted it flat black. Sweet car. recommend it to anyone.
