CAPRICE OWNERS HERE ?
#13
I own a 1986 Caprice Classic. I believe its the stock engine, over 700k miles on it, cant really accurately tell. The car is amazing.
The gas mileage isnt that great, but I do drive it about 80 miles a day, over the course of 5 days, and fill up a full tank every 5th day. SO, still pretty good for a day to day car. Its solid steel, so will survive almost anything, and mine is even starting to rust, of course it wasnt properly sealed at all, when it was modified/repaired.
Best, sturdy, and reliable car, if you can find one close to good or mint condition it will last you longer than 30 years.
