Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Caprice Convertible
Why This Car Is Special
The Chevrolet Caprice was manufactured from 1965-1996 by General
Motors. It was the most popular full-sized American car that was
made in the sixties and seventies.
First offered as a sport sedan option in 1965, the Caprice became
its own luxury series in 1966, with a host of accessories.
We have a 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Convertible here at Skyway
Classics that is very original with the correct M-Code 327 engine,
repainted blue paint, original blue interior, and black convertible
top.
Mechanical
The M-code 327 engine looks untouched in the engine compartment and
resides between the frame rails of this beauty and it runs great.
Backed by a Turbo 400 automatic and a 10-bolt rear end, this
drivetrain is stout!
The engine is left virtually all stock with the original black
snorkel air cleaner and decal, Chevrolet orange paint on the engine
block, intake, and valve covers, and is optioned with power
steering, power brakes, dual exhaust with turbo type mufflers that
gives this car a quiet idle, but the sound of a V8 under
throttle.
The wheels are Chevy stock steel wheels with chrome poverty hubcaps
and red wall type tires to give it the correct period look.

Original Interior
Interior
Open the doors and youre given a firsthand look at the blue vinyl
and cloth interior which is original. It has the front vinyl and
cloth trimmed bench seat with a matching rear seat and door panels,
column shifter, blue factory steering wheel, wood trim on the
factory blue dash, sweeping speedometer, clock, and all other
factory gauges.
The woodgrain accents inside give this Caprice a bit more of a
luxury feel than its muscle car counterparts and is offset by the
blue carpeting, black convertible top, and the blue top boot.
Exterior
Finished in an attractive blue hue with a black convertible top,
the coke bottle shaped body is in great condition. The condition of
the body and the panel fitment is great and this car is long and
low and looks great in in the blue shade.
The black stripes run down the sides perfectly and all the chrome
on the bumpers and bumperettes give it a luxurious feel to the
exterior as well. This car is straight and solid and is sure to set
you apart from the crowd at shows and cruises.
