1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Station Wagon
A highly original 77,210-mile B-body Caprice wagon with its factory-correct 5.0-liter V8, four-speed automatic overdrive and period equipment intact.
Why this wagon stands out
A fast view of mileage, same-age use, market status and listing-backed curation signals.
Method: mileage pace is the listed odometer divided by model-year age. The comparison benchmark is average annual household-vehicle mileage for the same age band from the DOE/ORNL Transportation Energy Data Book, Table 9.9 ↗. Shown or TMU odometers are labeled and never treated as verified lifetime mileage.
Known-issue check
These are documented model/platform inspection points—not a claim that this vehicle has the problem. “Not stated” means the listing or history reviewed does not prove the item has been addressed.
| Documented model issue / inspection point | Evidence source | Evidence it was addressed on this car |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling-system condition matters: water-pump leakage and coolant loss are reported Caprice problems | RepairPal Caprice problems | Not stated in the listing/history reviewed |
| Engine-control-module and intermittent electrical faults are documented Caprice checks | RepairPal Caprice problems | Not stated in the listing/history reviewed |
Before you buy
Use the original listing and vehicle-history documentation to verify current availability, mileage, ownership history, service work, modifications and condition. A missing market benchmark or an issue marked “not stated” should be treated as an unanswered due-diligence question—not as a defect or a negative score.
