Default Re: 1966 Impala / Caprice Front Bumper Valence Color

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mssl72</div><div class="ubbcode-body">As Rick had stated, Argent Silver! Are you missing your wheel well lip moldings? Are you going to add the side pinstripes? Sorry, I guess I have '66 questions for you! </div></div>

The wheel opening moldings were in the trunk. All 4 are in sad shape, so I understand why they were not installed. Currently looking for a new set.

As far as the side stripes, my understanding is all Caprices got them. When I am finished my short term &quot;to do's&quot;, I may look into adding them. The previous owner blacked out the front bumper valence and the smooth area of the rocker moldings. I want to correct these issues first.

Supposedly it started out as a 396 turbo 400 car, it now has a 427 in it. The 12 bolt rear has 4.10's in it. The factory air will be extremely appreciated here during the summer. When the previous owner got it, the radio area of the dash was modified. He installed a 1980's AM-FM just to have something that plays tunes. It also has tilt, fabric interior, and later model front disc brakes. Originally Willow Green, it was recently resprayed Lemonwood Yellow. The exterior paint did not fair well over the years. The seat upholstery and carpet needed replacement too, but the rest of the interior is original, including the dash pad.

Oh, and it has under 12K original miles. The original LOF glass is still in it. As the story goes, it remained untitled until 1968-ish and may have seen race duty in California. I will continue the investigation.
