1986 Chevrolet Caprice Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Purchased my Caprice in 2005 with a bad 305 from my friends neighbor who's daughter didn't know what oil was. I replaced the 305 with a 1991 police 350 and drove the Caprice everywhere (LA, Vegas, Reno, Canada, etc). 24 mpg highway fuel mileage, stump pulling torque thanks to a torque RV cam I installed with the 350 when installing. Solid as a rock and floats like a butterfly and super easy low maintenance costs (wish I could say the same for my newer BMW 3 series and X3). My wife knows I will keep it forever (met her in it while completing grad school in 2008). Her parents love the ride and borrow it when in town LOL! I own a 1963,'65 and a 1970 Impala also (my '70 is my personal favorite and owned since high school) . You can't go wrong with the 1977-90 Caprice 5.0 V8 and above.Jun 08, 2014

Good solid car. Bought in Boone, NC for $800.00, back in 2001. Drove it for several years. Sold it for $400.00 in about 2003, was spotted in Roanoke still on the road in 2009, in very poor condition. Good on trips, decent mileage, overall pretty good. If you are going to get one, get an 87 and up with fuel injection, mine was carbed and it would have problems sometimes. The headliner fell down.

Performance isn't that great stock, it has body roll and 273 gears in the rear so they don't move until highway speeds Quality is great, I mean its a Chevy come on Gas Mileage is good for a full size car at like 20mpg, you get like 500 miles out of a tank Appearance is good without the fake final top Fun factor can be fun, you just gotta know how to drive itNov 10, 2009

The performance of this car is great. It has a powerful 305 5 liter V8, that really puts out. Another great performance feature i like is the 4 10'' disk brakes that have helped in many situations that called for heavy braking. The handling is interesting in that the power steering is amazing but the car handles a bit like a boat, but can still react when u need it. So far i have owned the car for close to 10000 miles and i have only needed to replace one blown fuse and fixed a rivet that snapped on the accelerator. This car has a very smooth quiet ride and the suspension it has makes it feel as if you are riding on a cloud. The appearance on the exterior tells a story of power and elegance, that is very pleasing to any eye. Other than some rust spots it is a very good looking car. The interior apperance is good although and the seats are possibly as comfortable as a lazyboy. The sound system was good and was made even better when i replaced it with a more modern system. The gas mileage on this car is amazing for the engine size. It gets 26 highway and 20 city. This is a very fun car to drive and would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for an older car that has some serious power and looks to match.Jun 16, 2009
