Regardless, the body's all straight, the colour scheme is fairly tasteful, and it's a pre-smog car (presumably with a 454 added). Not a bad price for a convertible this uncommon. Definitely an if-you-want-it car, though.
Acid hit.

However, I'd love to have a '74 one of these so I could give it to my wife. It was her first brand-new car. Gotta love how the headlights and the steering wheel are in different ZIP codes. #1975chevycaprice

One stroke over the line
Painted downtown on the trunklid baby
One stroke over the line
Awaitin' for the cable car that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the check clears on-time
Stittin' downtown at the cable car station

Did you buy that car at the toilet store? #1975chevycaprice

But, that's not the case. Not the case at all. It feels like I did the poor thing a favor. #1975chevycaprice

I just came back from Las Vegas, and the SEMA show. This would have been a big hit at the DUB booth. But like anything else at the DUB Booth, it's really not my taste.
Oh, and here was a real head scratcher from the SEMA Show: A Spongebob Squarepants Caprice Donk! #1975chevycaprice

@tonyola: wow, that much? I haven't been able to track down any drop tops, but i did find this sweet, low-miles '75 hardtop (the pillarless hardtop is even cooler IMO) in a very Nixonian-era shade of puke/cream for only 4k. Hmm... I just might have 4k stuck in my piggy bank somewhere.

@tonyola: Thanks for the info. Still, I'm a little surprised that any GM malaise-boat would go for that much, regardless of condition. Plus, personally I prefer the Impala front clip... to me the Caprice one looks more bloated - and more donktacular. Anyways, here's a 73 Caprice convertible for $4500, definitely needs work, but still a pretty decent one.

No, no feeling it. Now if it were a Caprice rocking Dr. Pepper colors then yes, we can talk #1975chevycaprice

She's hip. Stylish. Talented. She's got a shitload more horsepower under the hood than you ever imagined, far more there to be reckoned with than her appearance may lead you to believe.
If I was at a party with Pink, no one could look at her, then at me, and believe for even a moment that we had arrived together. It doesn't happen. It cannot happen.
The car may be blue, but she is Pink to me. Beyond me, beyond my sphere, and priced way too many Dear Mr. Presidents for my taste. #1975chevycaprice

It looks to be well done, though not to my tastes. I think that he could find a buyer for about $8k, and that still wouldn't be me.
If his taste in modifications didn't test your faith in humanity, perhaps the "standard" craigslist butchering of the English language will. Don't read the full ad if you value your sanity.
Crack pipe. #1975chevycaprice
