This car is beloved in the Middle East. We have beautiful memories in it. Treat it with respect. Thank you for sharing what you do
Late 80s Caprice are the best
I grew up with these GM cars. Such awesome memories. These cars were actually very reliable, and super easy to repair, as well as drive them. No, you wasnt going to win any races with these Old Chevrolets Caprice/Impala/Pontiac Parisienne, But these cars were absolutely the best working class cars.
I also love them, and I loved working on them myself.
And he also drove like you were floating on a cloud you didn't even feel the bumps in these cars
Speak for yourself. I drove our ‘73 Caprice Classic Coupe w/400 cid & 350 THM at 108mph. I have the ticket to prove it!
نعم انها مخالفة السرعة@@whammond511
In the high end GM cars the 70’s and 80’s in was a feature in the cars to have waste basket! The base engine was a 305 - 5.0 or a 350- 5.7 if order , but I think it was 1 of the best designs of ‘79 Chevy Caprice Classic!
The kick panel waste container was a part of certain interior option packages on Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Le Sabre, Oldsmobile Delta 88, and Pontiac Pariesienne cars of the late 1970s through the 1980s. It was also available most years as a separate option for most model years on those cars -- quite often the waste container was covered with carpet that matched the carpets on the floor. Back in the day, the class III/IV receiver hitch was often included on full-size GM cars that were optioned to tow travel trailers. I had one on my 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham Luxury Sedan for towing my 1978 Argosy Minuet 6.0 Metre travel trailer. My favorite car of those that you have featured is: First Wash in 40 Years: Abandoned Bonneville Barn Find Bonneville Disaster Detail!! || -- 1960s through 1970s Pontiac convertibles are a particular favorite of mine.
👏🏽 nice to see another Caprice from the Golden years being saved! This body style was only produced from (77-79) with this being the last model of its Body style , happy to see someone take the time out to make a video bringing one bacc to life 👏🏽.
I always love the '77-'79 and '80-'90 box Caprices. It's cool you guys found this one right after the '80s Impala. Hope they get fully restored to their original glory.
that was a 77-79 impala
Box Chevy Caprice's are my dream cars. Definitely can't wait to own one
CALLED CHROME BUMPER LOOKS LIKE A 305. OR. 350 CID
Very cool boys. My brother's second car was a 1974 Caprice Classic which we had many fun times in and a ton of memories. Well done guys. I hope the owner is thrilled with the work you did.
Cheers,
Pete St. John
Fresno, CA
The box chevy caprice is my favorite car of all time from 77-90. Greatest car ever made.
1977 CAPRICE CLASSIC SEDAN , SILVER WITH RED VELOUR INTERIOR ♥️
@tommyrregina1227 yea that's a bad mofo right there🔥🔥🔥
That car would have been sweet to detail. In my humble opinion, when you understand life, you never show sentiments or attachment to material things. You have had it and enjoyed it. Move on! As a matter of fact, you would have been doing her a favour to detail the car and restore it to its original look as best.
Sad to see it collecting dust and rust.
I agree, but you also have to think of the era she was in. How many female racers were there in her time? That screams independence and breaking the mold and cycles of gender roles. To have a guy that is young enough to be her great great grandson asking to clean her car, she probably wants nothing to do with that. That’s just how I interpret it. But you’re right…I bet she has so,e amazing memories and stories.
My first car was a 79 caprice classic. That trash is in fact a factory item. The car came with it! Love the content guys!
1979 Impala, and then later a Camaro, and this car.
Wow. Great job! A beautiful Caprice Classic!
The trash bin probably was factory. My parents had a Cadillac that had the factory bin in that same corner. Of course Cadillac’s was more fancy - color matching and carpeted. This one fixed up with some black steel wheels and dog dish caps would be such an awesome dad car.
The white label on the fan shroud will tell you the engine size on the top left corner, if readable. Also that litter container is a factory option. It is common in GM cars of that era. It would be color coded to match the interior. This one must come from a black interior car.
Drag racing granny! Hell yes!!! lol that’s fantastic. She’s living her best life!
The best American car detail you have done on this channel would be the 51’ Cadillac or the old Blue Nash episodes. Classic American design and you made those two cars really shine! Keep up the good work!
I’m holding my tears. All my lovely memories with my father when I was kid 30 years ago was in the exact same red 1979 caprice classic. I even leaned how to drive on it 😪💔. Thanks for the video.
I had a 77 Impala, my brother in-law had a 77 Le Saber and his brother had a 78 Pontiac Bonneville in Iran👍 they were all awesome. ❤️🙏
Maybe when the lady sees what a good job you did on the Caprice, she will want the Corvette done. 🤞
Great video this week gentlemen. Can't wait for next week 🙂
Love seeing the Caprice on here. My first car when I was 16 was a 77 Caprice Classic. I miss that car and would love to have another some day
I always wondered why detailers start at the bottom instead of the top in their videos, but your explanation makes perfect sense. LOL
I love watching the dirt get pressure washed off. Keep up the good work guys ❤❤❤❤
I really like watching y’all detail this American land yachts. So much real estate to detail lol. Keep ‘em coming!
Oh my God, you gave me a real shock, the first car I owned. I was 31 years old at the time, 1979 Caprice. What a car, they don't make it anymore. I am now 63 years old and have bought many cars, but my love and longing for this Caprice is still there. From Iraq
Wow, great story. Did you buy it new in Iraq?
@@0471jrs it is certainly wasn't brand new, but it was in good working order.
@@search2learn776 Interesting, I am finding that the Caprice Classics were sold all over the world.
@@0471jrs in Iraq and the Arabian gulf, Caprice classic 1979 considered as legend car.
You were 21 years old.
In 1980 I bought a new Chevy Monza. The door panels were made of that crumbly plastic fantastic material, with exception of the tops of the armrests. After only 2 years, all that plastic began to fade and decompose, as did the rest of the vehicle. This Caprice has held up better.
The armrest covers were vinyl.
The caprice and impala for sure 👍🏼. Can’t wait to you guys get your hands on a fox body or g body
I can enjoy watching any car being cleaned on the WD Detailing channel. (even ones I have a "CRUSH THAT WRECK!" reaction to initially!) Thanks for the upload! You guys are great at this!
Engine is 305 2bbl, VIN Code “G” that is a Rochester Dual Jet Carburetor, first year used on the Full Size Chevy, 1978 previous used the 2Jet if a 2bbl. Wish that car was a 77-79 2Door. The Garage container was an Opt in 1979.
Favorite car you did was the late 60’s Olds 442, hands down. Always loved that body style and era!
Thank you so much for this video, Hope you all were adequacy financially rewarded for your hard work.
That car was considered kind of luxury back when it came out. It road like luxury and very comfortable to drive. They were tanks when cops had them for cars. I know personally. Drove and worked on many back then in the public works garage I worked in. We even still have some old crown Vic’s we still have hanging around. The cops don’t want to get rid of them. Older ones are better than the new crap out. A damn shame.
Love seeing “normal” cars kept up. Much more interesting than seeing yet another super car cleaned up. That power wash was extremely satisfying!
You guys gotta share where you get your music! So dope and smooth all the time! Especially at the 15:00 mark...please put in the description. Thanks guys! Love the vids
In 1977, my dad bought the full boat, triple Burgundy (with the padded vinyl top and Velour upholstery) Caprice, and he was about as proud as any man can be! The kickpanel trash bins were a part of a specific trim package that my Dad ordered... I think that engine is a 305 Ci. V8. the height of the smog era powerplants. I think I'd be hard pressed to find one in that spec nowadays...
7:38 in the Caprice Classic they were three engine options, there was the 250 cubic inch (4.1 liters) inline six with a one barrel carburetor, a 305 cubic inch (5.0 liter) V8 with a two barrel carburetor and a a 350 cubic inch (5.7liters) V8 with a four barrel carburetor from the factory, if that car has the original four barrel intake manifold it's a factory 350ci but there's people that might do something like I did, I have a two door 79 Caprice Classic and it was from the factory a 305ci with a two barrel carburetor and I did a four barrel intake manifold swap in my 305
Came here to say this. It got even more convoluted with some of the sister cars, and wagons. I had 3 parissienne's (1980 sedan, 305cu.in, 1988 safari wagon (350 cu.in) and an '86 safari wagon with wood paneling and an Oldsmobile 307cu.in. God, I hated that engine.)
@@boozysmurf that's cool, my friend has an 84 Pontiac Parissienne that had a 305 and now it's swapping a 350
@@guillermodiaz884 Nice! that's a classic swap. I must admit, many'll hate me for it, but I'd love to do an EV swap on my old Safari wagon, if I could find one again. Dual motors, ton of batteries between the frame rails? Be awesome to float along on that, in silence.... Listening to the interior squeak and rattle. :D
@@boozysmurf that'll be cool
R.J. and Mike are entertaining automotive detailers. Thank you,
A friend I know has a 1979 Chevrolet Caprice Classic sedan. It is a white car with a burgundy cloth interior. The car is fully equipped and is built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 in October of 1978.
The rallies with trim rings and caps would look great on that
My favorite part is the interior segment, although the power wash is cool.
This example was 'Fully Loaded.' Excellent detailing and refreshing!
i love the interior so much in this car, and it turned out cool but it shows a lot of signs for old age (of course) so it will take a lot of patience and money to get this on the road. i bow down to the owner of the car, she truly has "balls of steel" to have such skills! a frikin idol for sure
The pressure wash is great. As long as my bladder is Empty 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow what a difference back to life my dad owned a 1977 Caprice station wagon great job ❤
Back in 2005, I had an metallic maroon '85 2 door Caprice Classic. Those care are a rolling tank!
this was my first car i bought when i came to the USA in 1983 omg brings back good memories of a beautiful time in Oakland California
These box Chevys are definitely my favorite. American cars from the 70’s are awesome.
Y’all should find an 80 to 89 Cadillac brougham d’elegance to detail. I had an 84 and an 89, nicest interior ever. Or maybe an 80 to 84 Lincoln town car signature series.
Can't believe my eyes, but tonight was my lucky evening with you guys featuring two former cars I owned. I had this exact Chevy only as the Landau coupe. It was the same color too Dark Carmine Metallic.
Too bad there were no hub caps of any kind. The rally wheels that are on it would really set it off w/ center caps and beauty rings. PS…don’t give up on the vette!!!!!
You referenced David Spade's character Richie in the film 'The Benchwarmers'. Great flick! Also, I really appreciate you guys showing love for the old GM full-size street queens. I always enjoyed those I owned. Keep it up!
My parents had a blue 1979 Caprice when I was growing up ❤️
Summer is short here In Finland and im driving my White 77 caprice every sunny day from May To september. I really enjoyed this video.
I owned 2 caprice classics. A 1984 and a 1990. Both bought new. The 1990 had every bell and whistle you could get for that year. 305 8 cylinder. One of the best cars I have owned in almost 60 years of driving.
It came with the trash cans or it came with the hooks as you pointed out where it connected so you could buy one. So if it came with a trash can they would break from use and you could buy replacements in your automotive/department store automotive section/hardware store automotive section. If you did not have a console shifter and it was a column mounted shifter, which most were if not all, they had a matching tray that you could buy with the trash can and it went over the drive shaft tunnel......So it had a tray for wallet/sunglasses/change and then two cup holders. As you just saw they came in different interior colors....Blue/Black/Red/ Tan/ Green/Brown. But some of the time they did not have your interior color so you settled for the best available color in a pinch I remember emptying them as a kid and the motion to unhook it. They would stick in the slot after being attached for a long time and the summer heat.
I
Fun work and amazing results. Thanks guys.
My first car was a '79 Caprice Classic 4 door .....Two tone Black and silver...305 V-8.....I bought it with 58,000 miles in early 1985.
I washed and waxed it frequently.....I used to get compliments about how shiny it was .....I traded it in early 1990 with 89,000 miles on it and in retrospect, I should have kept it longer.
watching from Jamaica
We like to see some Volkswagen stuff because I’m from south Africa and here Volkswagen is a big deal,it’s like culture to us😊
I hope GM Chevrolet remake this car Again,,This Caprice 77-90 is what made General Motors something supernatural
just back from tenerife and back home.have loads to catch up on amazing love these videos. ;) this is my ocd fix lol keep up the amazing work yous do
Once again, you really enjoy what you are doing. Super nice
I was born in 1979. Sad to see how these beautiful machines are abandoned, good to see them restored.
Love those older carpets.
Ребята, смотрю вас постоянно, молодцы, всегда на позитиве. 😊 И автомобили у вас всегда интересные.
Looks like they had another Impala/Caprice in the barn as well. That is my youth......two of my buds had those in high school
lets just say they like grass and fields and the bumpers collect said grass real easy.
Dunkins would have been proud!!!!!!!!!
WHISHY WASHY TIME BABY
Nice job on the Caprice !
Too bad we didn't get to meet the 93 year old race car driver and pilot.
I bet she had some good stories.
We had a car like this and it had trash can on the passenger side, but ours matched the interior color and had carpet on the bottom half.
Favorite American cars would be Chrysler products, especially Imperial and Desoto.
You guys are my Saturday morning fix. Really love watching you do your great job!
You guys do a really good job in detailing a car. I do have one question though. When you guys clean the tires and rims of a car, do you ever take the tires and rims off the subject car and clean the back side of the? I know no one really sees that but it is a nice bit of detailing to do so.
My dad had 4 caprice classics i learned how to drive with them, i was 13 yrs old they had the 305. Love these cars.
I'd love to see a Ford Escort
Always looking forward to watching these videos ✊🏽
This is my fav., my dad had a pearl white '79 Caprice
Thanks for the explanation of why you do the top last it was driving me crazy 😂😂
The late 40s blue De-Soto from a while back is the one i would choose...
You guys have all the fun.
I used to shout at you “start on the roof first” but now I won’t after you explained why 😂😂 saves my voice
My favorite car styles were all 1920s and 30s
If memory serves, the Caprice came standard with the 305 with 350 cid optional. The Impala standard engine was the 250 cid inline 6.
I had nearly this exact same car in the mid 80's. I loved it. Smooth, comfortable, reliable... no race car but I had my series 3 E-Type for that. Sadly my Caprice got totaled in a freak ice storm on I-75 in a 9 car pile-up. Rough day. BTW the passenger kick panel waste container was a factory option available on most full size GMs at the time. I believe they were standard on the Cadillacs.
And Buicks and Olds.
I had the same color 77 brome with the crushed velvet Chevy Caprice Classic V8 350 was my favorite car back in high school so many memories Good Times
i live in memphis and the caprice is the very finest car i ever owned.no matter what year it was it was like floating on a cloud.my second favorite car was a 1963 dodge polara and third was 1957 chevy,my first car.
This car is legend in Gulf country and iraq thanks for everything you do ❤.
My college roommate traded in his Stage I Buick (I know, I know) on a '78 model just like this when he graduated - same color combination except a beige vinyl roof that matched the pinstripes.
I had a 1978 Chevy Caprice Classic 4 door two tone with Vinyl top with 305 engine ..Wish I still had it
I’m waiting on a Monte Carlo! 🫡💯
My favorite American car that you detailed was that LTD Crown Victoria 2 door not too long ago.
For a 45 year old car, it's not in bad shape. And it runs!
Hi, my brother, you have to put the shampoo before the water to break up the dirt and not scratch the paint. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
The little garbage can is OEM, not after market. It's designed to come out to empty when full.
Thanks for clarifying the way you clean the Cars off. Roof last. 😊
Gettin' yo Bob Ross on at 12:36.
My favorite was definitely the 55 Studebaker followed by the purple Corvette
Um Caprice velho 🚗
.My great uncle had a '72 Caprice 2 door that was passed down to me. We had to get rid of it because we couldn't store it anymore. I hope it's still alive somewhere in Kentucky.
I just started watching you guys that looks exactly like the 85 I had same color interior problems with the armrest everything and the announcer sounds like Harold Ramis
MY NAME IS DOUGLAS AND I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS
