Vehicle Description
1996 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 Door Sedan B4U is the option code used on civilian Caprice sedans for the package that included the LT1 engine, FE3 suspension, V08 HD cooling, V20 towing package, as well as a host of other parts of the package.  To get the LT1 you had to get the package, so no civilian LT1 sedans exist without it.  Some of the stuff included were the 140 amp alternator, heavy weight disc/drum brakes, 2.93 gears, posi, quick ratio steering, (identical to 9C1 and SS), 235/70VR15 tires, (although the door sticker only calls for S speed rated, all LT1 caprice sedans I've seen had V rated rubber as OE), engine oil cooler and extra trans cooler, (identical to SS).  Towing package included the same HD frame used on SS and 9C1 models. Thx impalassforum.com For consignment, a 1996 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 door sedan with a title verified 19,857 actual miles and containing the B4U package.  This is one 9,064 which doesn't sound all that special until you realize that 41,941 Impala SS's were built that same year and 20,000 9C1, (Police package), Caprices were made. So, of the high performance Caprice packages for '96, it's the least common. Exterior Looking very much like your grandfather's understated car, the big proportions and familiar shape of the Caprice fills the room and this one is coated in two stage Dark Green Gray Metallic paint. With rounded ends and an extensive rounded roofline, long front doors and a rear quarter window, there's nothing quite shaped like a mid-90's Caprice. Body colored bumper guards extend the length, a full 217-inches while flush headlights curve with the rear of the car at the end of a long trunk lid. The standard chrome grille is flanked by the headlight which shares the casing with brights and turn signals. 15-inch mesh style wheels hold 255/70R15 tires which is a bump in size from factory, and these have a date code of early 2019. The paint, trim and wheels are excellent on the car and the only flaw we could find was a scuff on the corner of the bumper cover. The body is as straight as can be. Interior What most Caprice buyers in 1996 were looking for was a luxurious and comfortable ride and this is reflected in the door panels which mix lovely faux wood appliques with black accents and soft, gray cloth sections over smooth gray vinyl.  A carpeted lower doubles as a storage bin, and on this car, everything looks pristine.  There's plenty of faux wood in the automotive world, but Chevrolet got this one right as the dark grained wood tries hard to fool you and comes close if not for the elaborate shapes much easier and cheaper to do with molded plastic. Big soft seats make up the split bench covered in gray cloth with patterned inserts and a large pull down armrest storage bin. The rear bench is vast and in great condition with an armrest or seating for three.  A basic dashboard and gauge cluster behind the gray steering wheel, typical faux wood trim and digital display and in the center stack, the simple A/C controls and factory AM/FM/CD player flanked by vertical vents. Perfect gray carpet covers the floor, and a foam molded headliner is also in excellent condition. We imagine if you pulled up a sales brochure for the 1996 Caprice Classic, it would look exactly like the interior of this car. Drivetrain The magic begins when we pop the enormous hood to observe the stock, clean 5.7 liter LT1 V8, fuel injected and rated at 260 horsepower. A 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission backs it up and power is sent to the rear 10 bolt and 2.93 gears with Positraction. Power brakes halt this behemoth Chevy with 11 discs up front and drums in the rear. Undercarriage About what you'd expect from a mid-90's GM driven almost 20,000 miles. Surface rust prevails on most untreated components which is fairly typical. We don't see a build up of grease or dirt anywhere and we're also not seeing any leaks. The dual exhaust flow |
