Model overview

Model description

First offered as a sport sedan option in 1965, the Caprice became its own luxury series in 1966, with a host of accessories. Similar to the Impala in four-door hardtop and six- and nine-passenger station wagons, the two-door hardtop had its own formal roofline.

The Caprice line was aimed at Ford’s LTD, and 181,000 Caprices were sold in 1966, excluding station wagons. Engines ranged from 283-cid, 327-cid, and 396-cid V-8s, with a 390-hp 427-cid option at the top.

Along with the rest of the full-size Chevrolet line, Caprices were completely re-skinned for 1967, with bodies being smoothed out, the grille wrapping around the front fenders, a pinch added to the “coke bottle” rear fender line, and a smoother flowing roofline. As before, the two-door hardtop Caprice had a unique formal roof, shared with no other model. Caprice hardtop and coupe production totaled 124,500 for 1967.

The 1968 Caprice was stretched two inches and wore a new grille, offering the option of hidden headlights. The covered headlights are a rare option to find now, as few buyers plunked down the extra $82. The rear bumper was redesigned as a huge single beam with integrated taillights, which made for expensive rear-end repairs. Caprices remained V-8 powered, though the new base engine was a bigger 307-cid unit.

The Caprice was redesigned again in 1969, with a loop front bumper being the prominent new feature, but the cars retained the chrome beam with inset lights at the rear. The sides of the car were sculptured around the wheel wells. Engines ranged from the 327-cid V-8 to 427-cid big block.

The 1970 model year was the last variation of the 1966 Caprice body style, and the new 1971 models would be vastly different and substantially larger. The 1970 models can be recognized by fenders capped over the headlights and a return to a simple front bumper.

Common Questions

The value of a 1966 Chevrolet Caprice can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $9,350 USD for a 1966 Chevrolet Caprice in good condition with average spec.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
