For $10,700, be capricious
For $10,700, be capricious-November 2024

If you like big butts and you cannot lie, today's Caprice might just make you fly. Punks'll wanna hit it and then they'll wanna quit it, but 's gonna' win it. And while its donks might cause you starin,' the price that it is wearin' might mean a brother just has to deny.

Okay, that'll be about enough of that, thank you very much. We'll get back to the Hooptie in just a minute but right now we have to see how yesterday's faired. With a frighteningly lopsided 78% Nice Price win, it obviously hallowed your weens.

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat is a common demand heard from pirates,

That B-body wagon was one of the last of GM's mastodons, lumbering creatures made extinct by the advent of the Compact parking space. Shared with the big Buick was Chevy's B, known internationally has the cop car of choice when that choice didn't include Ford's Crown Victoria. Today's is no cop car, but it may be the perfect place to cop a feel.

Rocking both a hue and shape that makes it appear of the order, Cetacea, this custom Caprice is described by its seller as eye-catching and tasteful which it might be if your point of reference is Carrot Top's suite at the Las Vegas Luxor. The wheels are massive, chromed 24-inch jobs in a stylized iron cross design, as though straight from an episode of Berlin's Vat not to Vear. Wrapped around those are tires that - as they appear in the ad - are either rice paper thin or uniformly pumped to a max of 6 psi. Along with the donks, this Caprice sports the visual differentiators of custom (i.e. eBay) head and tail lamps, and a from valance featuring a deeper vented skirt and front airdam.

The rest of the exterior looks stock, and is still the encumbrance-free aero design that was both a shocking departure from its boxy predecessor and a boon to car washes nationwide. While that may be a little yawn-inducing like a homely date it's what's inside that counts, and in this case, it's inside where the money was shot.

The interior goes full two-tone beige vinyl and features more speakers than Steve Jobs' memorial (what, too soon?). Even the dash gets the vinyl treatment and the wide front bench is like a sweet caramel ocean of the stuff, as is the ass plateau in the back. But what really makes the rear compartment - nay, the entire car -special is the pair of mirrors that have been artistically fitted into the headliner just aft of the dome light. Back seats are prime locations for bumping fuzz and this one heightens the mood by turning the space into a rolling Playboy mansion. Not only is the seating material anti-microbial and easy to clean, but the mirrors allow you to check technique and to offer yourself a high-five for your good taste and skill in conquest.

Mechanically, should that even matter now, the Caprice is said powered by a rebuilt 355 (350 bored .030 over) with less than 30K under its fanbelt. That's backed up by a 700R4 automatic, but if you really jones for a stick, those will fit this B as well. Flowmaster exhaust, renewed brakes and front suspension, plus airbags to make for a pillow-smooth ride round out the serious hardware upgrades which are at least equal to the car's visual enhancements.

Overall, this Caprice rocks a Day-um worthy 201,000 miles total, but with all the new stuff that has been added or replaced, it's hard to say whether that would even matter, especially in light of the pure awesomeness that is that backseat whoopie factory.

If this Caprice really is as good as it's described, then it probably won't have any performance issues. Contrastingly, should you be experiencing - well, performance issues, then this might be the ticket and for $10,700 it might be a better prescription than a fist full of little blue pills.

What do you think of this love-donk? Are its modifications worth that $10,700? Or, while the car may be fly, is that price too high?

You decide!

We Drove A Citroën C6 And It Was Better Than Our Wildest American Dreams
We Drove A Citroën C6 And It Was Better Than Our Wildest American Dreams
Big Citroëns are always absurd. They’re enormous, oddly designed, and solely exist for pure, effortless, worry-free comfort, and possibly also for smoking Gauloises. Even more absurd is a new one that’s mysteriously made it’s way to the United States. And we drove it. When we first heard that there was...

For $8,000, This 1986 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Will Make You Flip Your Lid
Toyota’s first-gen 4Runner followed the typical U.S. compact sport ute recipe by offering just two doors and a removable rear cap. Today’s ‘86 also rocks a rare turbo 22R, but will that, and its remarkable condition, have you doffing your cap in honor of its price? Have you ever noticed...

For $3,500, Would You Wake Up This 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega?
For $3,500, Would You Wake Up This 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega?
Today’s Vega is one of the rare Cosworth editions with the DOHC four designed by that venerable company. That 4-valve engine makes its price intriguing. The fact that engine does’t run? Well, we’ll just see about that. Hey, remember last Friday? I know I don’t. Luckily we have the Internet...

For $7,200, This 1990 Saab 900 SE Could Be Your Right-Hand Man
For $7,200, This 1990 Saab 900 SE Could Be Your Right-Hand Man
Saab was once big into the nines, with most of their models being named with some derivation of that number. Today’s Saab is one of the biggest - a 900 - and it’s interestingly RHD. There are no nines in its price, but let’s see if it still makes you...

For $8,500, This 1997 Acura Integra GS-R Is Blowin' In The Wind
For $8,500, This 1997 Acura Integra GS-R Is Blowin' In The Wind
How much horsepower is too much for a FWD car? The ad for today’s Integra claims it puts 424 horses through the front tires. If true, that’s a lot of ponies, and you’ll need to decide if its selling price is a lot as well. I just realized - no...

Would You Go $2,300 For A V8 1990 Audi 90 Quattro?
Would You Go $2,300 For A V8 1990 Audi 90 Quattro?
When was the last time you saw an Audi 90 on the road? More to the point, have you ever seen one with a V8 conversion like today’s contender? That’ll be wicked wild as long as its price doesn’t prove to be something you can’t see paying. The seller of...
