I sold last year the twin to this car {Royal plum/plum interior except mine was just a 283 car and I have a Plum SS 427 car now. Im really into these plum cars. Plum interior was only offered in the caprice line and is very rare. That looks like a cool car. I got 10k for mine so we know this car is north of that at least. go for it. I know that id love to have it next to my 427 car! The only thing that looks wrong is the air cleaner.

Was that 283 car for sale @ Carlisle? Was it parked next to one of the pavilions?

That was a real nice car.

Looks like she is wanting 30k....I'm guessing that's waaay too much. I'll just have to try to talk her down..

$30k for the two cars is in the ballpark ...

If you get a chance to see the car again could you snap a picture of the vin, cowl tag, and POP? Like Don said this is a very rare car and I would like to add the numbers to my database. I don't think the seller is far off with a price of $25,000 if the car is as original as she says, but the bench and auto is definitely going to hold it back a little.

Is the Caprice a two door or four?
Is the T-Bird restored or original?

If I go back it will mean that I caved in and went back to pick it up. All I have now is a photo of the vin but if I do get the chance I'll get the others for you.

The Caprice is a Two-Door.
The TBird was semi-restored. Top has been painted, seats have been recovered, AC and radiator have been added, engine is correct replacement. I have more photos of it.

Jacquie...tell everyone what else you bought

CL piece especially in the plum CLR..
Before doing the deal it may be worth noting the build plant as there's always a chance it's a Canadian built car and documents available from GM Canada Vintage Services if so..

You mean this old thing with the 409?










Ha! It's a 409 now...not so sure it's always been one. We still have to figure that out.

Either way it was a cool ride so we drug it home.

That's the one!

What a cool car

Get with Verne Frantz...he'll let you know what to look for
