CAPRICE CLASSIC 1983

1983 kom fokus att ställas på förfining av motor och kraftöverföring för förbättrad effekt och bättre bränsleekonomi.

Flera modeller upphörde, och nu fanns inte längre några 2-dörrarsmodeller kvar. Caprice-serien bestod nu av sedan-modellen och en herrgårdsvagn med extrasäte. Standardmotor för sedan-modellen var fortfarande V6:an på 229ci (3,8 liter). Herrgårdsvagnen levererades med V8:an på 305ci (5,0 liter). Extraval bestod fortfarande i 305-motorn för sedan-modellen, 350 diesel för båda modellerna och fyrstegsautomaten 700 med överväxel.


Bland färgerna kom svart tillbaka efter att ha varit borta 1982. Interiörfärgerna var mörkblå, ljusgrön, silver, rödbrun och mörkbrun.

Sedan-modellen kunde fås med ett interiör-lyxpaket som kallades CL. Nu kom även kvartsklockan.
