First offered as a sport sedan option in 1965, the Caprice became its own luxury series in 1966, with a host of accessories. Similar to the Impala, the Caprice two-door custom coupe had its own unique formal roofline. The Caprice line was aimed at Ford’s LTD, and 181,000 were competitively sold in 1966, excluding station wagons. Engines ranged from 283-cid, 327-cid, and 396-cid V-8s, with a 390-hp 427-cid option at the top. This Onyx Black offering is optioned with the big-block Turbo Jet 396 V-8 rated at 325 horsepower. It is exceedingly well-equipped with nearly every option available including air conditioning, AM/FM pushbutton radio, tissue dispenser, front and rear seat belts, power steering, power brakes, power windows and cruise control. The automatic transmission is selected at the console. The beige interior is in very good shape and is very pleasing to the eye. This is one of the best equipped 1966 Caprice 396 cars to be found in the collector car market.
