1972 Chevrolet Caprice with 52,000 original miles. This is a factory A/C car with a 400 cubic inch small block V8 backed by a rock solid automatic transmission. This was truly a one owner car until approximately 2 years ago. This car was originally purchased from a Chevrolet dealership in Rochester NY in 1972. Original purchase paperwork and documents are included with this car. It was never driven in winter and it shows. It was well maintained when driven and eventually was stored under a tarp in a car port for many, many years. A true friend of mine purchased this car from the original owner 2 summers ago and began a road worthy ressurection, including a carburetor and gas tank cleaning, slight paint touch up and a full tune up. I then purchased this car and replaced the front brakes and muffler. The undercarriage was then completely pressure washed and sprayed with chassis black( this by no means covers up any rust and is only for aesthetics). The chassis, brake lines, floors, trunk and frame are rust free and super clean and solid. The much sought after 400 engine and transmission start and run flawlessly. There are no unusual noises or leaks. This car is mechanically sound and I trust it could be driven anywhere without issue. The engine compartment is clean and shines excellent. The transmission goes into gear and shifts perfect with no issues. The black interior is in excellent condition with minor sun fading on the front and rear seats. There are no rips in the seats. The carpet is in excellent condition with very little wear. The dash has no cracks. The power windows and power seats work perfectly with no issues. The black vinyl top is in excellent condition with just a few very minor pin holes ( not noticeable from 5 feet) in the rear near the trunk. It still shines and present very nicely. The exterior shines very nicely and appears to be mostly original paint. There are minor paint chips and scratches throughout but it presents very nicely as well from 5 feet. The wheel wells and rocker panels are rock solid with no rust. The fender skirts are in great shape as well. The hood and trunk were painted prior to me acquiring the car due to heavy paint chipping while in storage. The paint matches nicely and shines very nice in those spots. The tires actually appear to be original bias ply tires with the original hub caps and wheels. The tires do have some dry rot but hold air without issue. I would suggest new tires for any long road trip but they work great for around town. There is a spare with the original jack in the trunk as well. This is a great and reliable super low mileage driver and would be respectable at any cruise in or car show however it is not Barrett Jackson quality high dollar car. It presents very nicely, can be driven anywhere and looks great going down the road. The new owner will not be disappointed with this car. I believe this is a great value as it comes with original paperwork and owners manual as previously stated. Please do not bid or buy if you do not intend on paying. I have many more pictures of this car that can be sent via phone or email and I am willing to answer any questions you may have but please read the entire post before asking questions. I have described this car in much detail and this is a true start and drive 1972 Caprice that is as mechanically sound as they come. 52,000 miles with original documents. Bid and buy with confidence, the reserve is set at a very fair price, someone will win this car. Good luck and happy bidding.

The description is supposed to read \"power windows and power locks work perfectly \". In error it says power seats. The car is not equipped with power seats. The bid is close to the reserve. No surprises, bid with confidence.

I have been contacted by the original seller of this car who cleared up a few items. All in all great history on this car. It was only in regular use until 1985 and then sat in a barn until 2010. The seller had previously helped to sell the car for the original owning family. It appears as it has only had 2 registered owners at this point. People who know the car and it’s are happy with the refresh and are hoping the new owners take well care of it. Thank you Akimball442

Many emails, contact and questions regarding this car. Hopefully I can answer some of the questions here to clear a few things up. The tires are an “original style/quality” bias ply tire. They are dry rotted with cracks. They hold air but may not be appropriate for a long highway drive. I am willing to work with a buyer to put tires on the car if they intend on driving it a long distance upon pickup. Just contact me please. If car is to be trailered or shipped then tires are fine for driving local, around town etc. The trunk pan is rust free, the trunk lid lip is rust free and there isn’t any rust where trunk pan meets quarters. I am not sure where trunk carpet is ( I wish I had it). There is very small holes in the vinyl top below back window as previously stated. The rest of the vinyl top looks great. I would not replace it however to restore to show quality it would at least need repair in that area. The passenger front door does have rust on the inside skin. I recently noticed this when taking more photos. It can not be seen from the outside. It appears as it was touched up at one point as it still shows white. The other doors are fine as are the dog legs and wheel wellsThis is a super solid great driver that is turn key. No mechanical issues at all. Please contact me with an email or phone number and I will be more than happy to send many more pictures. Sorry it seems long winded but I wanted to answer all the questions. Thanks, good luck.
