HI Joe:
You asked for feedback so I will give my 2 cents. You know the following of these big cars if you own a 69 Impala ss.
The Caprice is probally worth the 10K if you are looking for a BBC driver to load the family in and go.If you are looking for a return on the dollars you will invest into this car to get it the way you want it I think in the end you will lose money.
I have seen mint ones as you have, sell for 12-15000.A good paint job on this one will put you over that.
Take care
Joe

I feel the same way, just a neat car, all there, shame to let it waste away though. Just wanted some thoughts, guess I will pass.

I sold a 427 Impala SS 'vert match nos. that needed a resto for $6,500 and it was a solid car. The 'verts have since picked up a bit but for some reason, Impalas have more interest than Caprices. Did the car you looked at have the hidden headlight option?

No hidden headlight option but quite a few others for a Caprice. Body too rough for me though.
