1972 Chevrolet Caprice Original Survivor Impala on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
1972 Chevrolet Caprice 2 door hardtop. An above average condition, original car. It has a little under 63,000 actual miles. I bought it from the original owner’s family last winter. It is truly a small town Nebraska barn find. An original car, in hard to find condition. Has a clear Nebraska title.
The engine is a 400 big block 4 barrel. Known as the “402”. It has an automatic transmission. Air, tilt wheel and AM radio. As well as power steering and power brakes.
The car runs and drives beautifully. In about 1994, after the fathers’ death, the car was pulled from storage and had over $4000.00 spent on it to get it running. A new timing chain was installed as well as the following: Intake gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket. All oil and fluids were drained and refilled. The transmission was serviced with new fluid, filter, gasket. The rear end (non posi), has new fluid and gasket. There are no oil leaks. The gas tank was replaced with another used one. Carb worked on and fuel filter replaced. Brakes checked and repaired as needed. That was in ’94. I went thru the fuel system again. I Cleaned the carb, pulled and redone the gas tank professionally, and put in a new fuel filter. Replaced the fuel pump and installed a new muffler.
The paint on the car is considered a 20 footer. Looks great, but upon close inspection there are chips and small dings. The worst chips are located on the front header panel and around the headlights. There are some paint imperfections not showing well in the pictures. Look closely. But...overall real nice car. The trunk floor and underbody are very solid. There is significant road rash from gravel roads down low behind the wheels. There is a rust area in front of the driver side rear wheel way down low. Very little to no rust everywhere else. Paint appears to be mostly original with some work done over the years, never wrecked!
The interior is the strong point. The seats, carpet, dash are all very nice. The door panels are perfect with the exception of the drivers door plastic that faded more than the passenger side. But still very nice. The dash pad is perfect. No cracking in the speaker area at all! Never smoked in and the lighter and ashtray are perfect. All gages work properly.
The AM radio does not work. The tires are old. The A/C doesn’t work however the compressor clutch is not locked up. A charge should do it. I don’t have any r12 refridgerent. The brakes are power but they feel manual. I think maybe the power booster or the plastic check valve need replaced. At night with the headlights on I smell a bit of burning?? Maybe just a fluke? Or a short in the headlight system. However the lights work just fine. Remember, this car sat a long time. There is no mice or rodent smell or damage anywhere that I can see. I’m sure the car needs things that I’m not aware of, or things you just might want to do on your own. This is a heck of a nice good running car but is sold “AS IS”. Its 42 years old. I maybe a bit critical in my description, but I feel you can never have too much information in dealing on the internet. My feedback is perfect and I describe all my items accurately.
Again the
car is sold as is. Please have funds available when bidding. No or low feedback
members must contact me BEFORE bidding, or I WILL CANCEL your bid. Bidders that
feel the need to retract bids, please go on to the next car. This ad is costing
me money. Shipping is up to the winning bidder. I will assist as much as I can.
Thanks and good luck! You should love this original survivor type car! Bernie

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
