Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon
1983 | 5.0 V8 | automatic | 8 seats | Polish historic plates
For sale: a 1983 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon, a big yellow American estate with a five-litre V8 and an automatic gearbox. Buyers pick a US classic for the distinctive shape, the chrome trim and the sound of a free-flowing exhaust, and this car has all three. It is well kept for its age, ready to drive and needs no further spending.
This is the exact car ClassicAuto magazine featured in its article “Peter Griffin's Limousine”, covering its history and how its owner at the time used it. Until 2008 it carried a Florida registration. It then moved to the Netherlands, where it changed colour from white to yellow, and it has been in Poland since 2016.
The Caprice has three rows of seats, and its registration document lists eight seats. The third row faces backwards. The tailgate opens two ways and has an electric window. Soft suspension, comfortable seats and the relaxed V8 suit weekend drives and trips to car meets.
