1986 Chevrolet Caprice Classic review from North America
"Great car for being almost 20yrs old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat went in -30 weather I almost got frost bite on my fingers replacing it.
Brakes need replacing (squealing)
a/c removed compressor died.
General comments?
Its got a dent in the middle of the hoof from 4 people on it watching fireworks.
Big rust hole in left front fender.
Runs great rides good, needs suspension work (shocks ball joints tie rods alignment)
i love it when the 4 barrel opens up it just takes off like a rocket. and it leaves nice burnouts.
