1979 Chevrolet Caprice Sedan review from North America
"A creative minds sanctuary"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Amazingly the only thing I have replaced is the windsheild.
It might sound rediculous, but I don't think anything has every mechanically failed except a battery or two.
General comments?
Caprice's...i don't know what to say, they are big.
Use too much gas.
Steer poorly.
I have decided the only way to make this 79' caprice decent is to paint it black put on a white vinyl top, and tint the windows to match.
