1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible – Single-Family Ownership, 400ci V8, Midnight Blue, Original Documentation

This 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible is a well-preserved and remarkably documented example, showing single-family ownership from new until 2019 and currently displaying approximately 126k actual miles. Finished in its original shade of Midnight Blue Metallic over a white vinyl top and two-tone white/dark blue interior, this Caprice represents the final era of full-size American convertibles—complete with V8 power, big-body presence, and a long list of features that exemplify mid-1970s luxury motoring.

Sold new on December 12, 1975 by Marine Chevrolet to a USMC officer, the car remained in the original owner’s family for over four decades. It retains much of its original equipment, has never been modified, and benefits from long-term maintenance and careful preservation. The 400ci V8 engine was rebuilt at 119k miles, and the convertible top was replaced once during its lifetime. The body was refinished in its factory color in 1987, and the interior is believed to remain original.

This Caprice is now offered with extensive historical documentation, including the original window sticker, sales paperwork, owner’s manuals, a full set of service records, and other period materials.

Exterior – Midnight Blue Metallic with White Convertible Top

The car was repainted in its original color of Midnight Blue Metallic in September 1987, and still retains a deep, even finish with a consistent shine throughout. The body lines are straight and well-aligned, and the chrome bumpers, rocker moldings, grille, and badging present cleanly with appropriate patina for the age.

The white vinyl convertible top has been replaced once and remains taut, functioning properly via the factory power top mechanism.

• Refinished in factory-correct Midnight Blue Metallic

• Power-operated white convertible top

• Original chrome trim and brightwork in good condition

• Soft top mechanism functions as intended

• Retains factory badging and bright side moldings

Interior – Two-Tone White and Dark Blue Vinyl with Original Features

Inside, the Caprice Classic delivers the cushioned comfort and spaciousness these luxury full-sizers were known for. The cabin features plush bench seating in white vinyl with dark blue accents, woodgrain trim, and period-correct controls and instrumentation.

The interior is believed to be all original, with seating surfaces, dash, door panels, and carpeting showing minimal wear consistent with careful ownership. Power features including windows, air conditioning, heat, and the power top are fully operational, and all gauges and controls work as intended.

• Original white/dark blue vinyl upholstery

• Working factory A/C and heater

• Power windows and power convertible top

• Original dash and instrumentation

• Factory steering wheel and woodgrain trim

• Well-preserved carpet and door panels

Powertrain – Rebuilt 400ci V8, Smooth Automatic, Regular Maintenance

The car is powered by its original 400ci V8, which was professionally rebuilt at 119k miles. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain remains completely stock and delivers the smooth, effortless cruising experience typical of the era.

The current owner has kept up on regular mechanical upkeep, including:

• Rebuilt engine at 119,000 miles

• New battery and oil service in 2018

• Over $5,000 in recent receipts within the past 1,000 miles

• Drives strong with a soft, composed ride thanks to factory suspension and insulation

Mileage & History – 126k Documented Miles, Single-Family Owned Until 2019

The car’s five-digit odometer has rolled over once, with true mileage documented at 125,596 miles. The car remained with the original owner’s family until 2019, and detailed records spanning its lifetime support the mileage and ownership claims.

The sale includes:

• Original window sticker

• Original bill of sale and delivery paperwork

• Original manuals and booklets

• Spare tire and factory jack

• Inspection and registration records

• Historical service documentation

• Ownership and service photos

• Detailed mileage log and receipts
