1978 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"This car cannot get any better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine replaced at 40k miles, because previous owner stuffed it in a storage and forgot about it.
Carb was rebuilt (and still acts up if not fully warmed up)
New paint job.
General comments?
This is a great car, it has served me well and even provided me a place to sleep on some dark and foggy nights.
It doesn't have the greatest handling, but it gets the job done.
The power of the engine is a head rush every time you step on the gas.
