It’s got every option. Why not get power disc brakes?

Disc brakes were not available until the 67 model year.

No discs in '66
I KNEW I shouldn't have looked, even Aztec Bronze On Bronze..... only thing missing is the 4 speed. Gorgeous automobile.

I like how the poor quality repro window sticker lists the seats as "Astro" bucket seats :haha:

----Wow, What a Caprice! I can't, off the top of my head, think of any option it doesn't have. Some of the options are one year only, like the gorgeous guage package and the tilt and tele. Would love to own this!!!....Bill S

Of all the 60's B bodies, this is my favorite model. I bought one in the same colors and interior with the 283/PG in '76. Being a MN car, it was very rusty then and got so bad after another year, I felt it was dangerous to keep on the road and sent it to Caprice heaven. :frown:

Ah, gotcha. I was wondering that. The original owner would’ve definitely gotten them if available.

----Good, Totally agree! this Caprice is artwork, with an assembly line history!....Bill S

Uh-oh, look who's the current high bidder.....

Shhhhhhhh......

----I have no luck bidding against that guy. LOL....Bill S

^... hah!

Also, someone posted in the auction that it was bought at the Pomona Swap Meet - some time ago, I'm sure as no interesting cars like this show up for sale there any more, or often, I suppose I should say... sometimes there's something that shows up but not often, that's for sure! Interesting car with a local history. Will be cool to hear more of the story and more photos here after the auction. Cheers all.

Just pocket lint for him. Twice my annual income from SS...:crazy:

I've seen the car before at a local show. Nice and clean. The former owner lived in San Diego and was/is a member of the '65-'66 Full Size Chevy Club.

WOW, that is so nice.

A good friend of mine down here in NZ has the exact same loaded Caprice, except for the colour, his is blue.
