1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon review from North America
"Well worth the $700 I paid 3 years ago"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before I bought the car the engine was rebuilt at about 50,000 miles.
I just recently had to replace the brake lines on the front left side around the wheel well due to the fact they were just rotted away.
The interior doesn't have much wear and tear except for the headliner which has been sagging really badly.
Since I have owned it I also had to replace the windshield wiper motor and the alternator.
The gas tank also had to be replaced because it rusted out to the point where it was leaking.
The wood paint which is over top the dark red paint is beginning to peel off.
The paint on the car is also very very faded.
General comments?
I call this car the tank cause it is so solid.
It took me awhile to get used to driving the car cause it was so big.
It also is good for towing I have towed my buddy's 30 ft fishing boat with it serveral times.
It is also a good family car due to the fact it can seat 9 people.
