1969 Chevrolet Caprice

This 1969 Chevrolet Caprice is an incredibly low-mileage, extremely original collector’s piece that has been carefully preserved. Purchased new on October 22, 1968, from H.B. Chevrolet in Flushing, NY, this Caprice is dressed in a stunning Garnet Red exterior paint with a contrasting black vinyl roof. The highly optioned black interior remains in near-original condition, adding to its collector appeal.

Under the hood, the Caprice is powered by its original 327 CID V8 engine, producing 235 horsepower, and paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-matic transmission. The factory options list is extensive and includes power windows, Strato-back front seats with a fold-down armrest, power steering, power brakes, 4-season air conditioning, Posi-traction axle with a 2.73 gear ratio, AM/FM stereo, hide-away wipers, and more. The car’s interior is in remarkable condition, complete with the original seat trim, interior panels, and dashboard elements.

Since its purchase, the car has been held in a private collection, with the current owner acquiring it in the spring of 2021. The odometer shows just 22,111 miles, which are believed to be original. While the original wheels and tires have been replaced with chromed rally wheels featuring spinner-style center caps, the car retains much of its original paint, sheet metal, glass, and trim. Recent mechanical work has included a carburetor rebuild, rear brake replacement, and oil and fluid changes. The car has also participated in several touring events, with approximately 3,000 miles driven under the current ownership.

Cars are only original once, and this 1969 Caprice has been preserved to a high standard, making it a rare and valuable investment piece. Documentation includes the original dealer invoice, bill of sale, Protect-o-plate, owner’s manual, sales brochure, and color guide, providing full provenance of this exceptional car.
