Rare 2013 Chevy Caprice Review: Imported Police Sedan with V8 Power

In this episode, Doug DeMuro takes a deep dive into the enigmatic 2013 Chevy Caprice, a car shrouded in mystery and exclusivity. Imported from the land down under, this rare sedan packs a punch with its powerful V8 engine and rear-wheel drive setup. What sets this Caprice apart is its history - never offered to the general public, it was reserved solely for government fleet buyers, particularly for police use. This unique specimen up for auction on Cars and Bids boasts an upgraded V8 and a sleek, badge-less exterior, exuding an air of understated authority.

Once inside, the Caprice reveals its utilitarian nature, featuring minimal badging and practical design elements tailored for police work. From the flat surfaces for police equipment to the touchscreen infotainment system allowing customization of locked features while driving, every detail serves a purpose in this no-frills vehicle. Despite lacking luxury amenities like heated seats or a sunroof, the Caprice offers essential features such as a radio, CD player, dual-zone climate control, and cruise control for a comfortable ride.

The interior of the Caprice further showcases its focus on functionality, with a unique speedometer check at startup and a button on the steering wheel for display customization. The back seat, surprisingly adorned with leather upholstery, contrasts with the bare plastic floor, emphasizing the car's practicality over extravagance. Overall, the Chevy Caprice stands out as a rare breed, blending performance, exclusivity, and purpose-driven design in a package that speaks volumes without saying a word.
