Found this Caprice listed on ebay, sent a email to the owner to ask if
I could stop by and take a look.
Just my luck the car was less than 30 miles away from me.Talked to the owner on November 13th 2002.
He told me about a minor dent on the rear passenger quarter panel,
and the paint on the hood was starting to oxidize.
Told me he was the second owner, bought the car from the original owner, a older couple in 1997.
Went over on November 14th, noted the minor dings and scratches on the car.
Was informed that the fender skirts & hub caps were stolen a few years before.
But when I saw the interior I was near being sold.
The seats have been covered with plastic seat covers it whole life.
The dash is perfect, the headliner is perfect, the carpet is perfect and the vinyl top is perfect.
I then had the privledge of test driving this car.
This put me over the top, it runs like a dream, the brakes are great, it has power windows, and AC/Heater that work!
