Selling my 1974 Caprice Classic 2 door. This is a 3 owner car, original buyer left it to his son and I bought it from the son. Car retains 99% of its original paint. The bumper fillers and fender skirts have been repainted, otherwise no body work has been done on this car. Exterior is 100% rust free, frame has black paint on it yet and retains factory paint stick marks from when it was inspected. Car has NEVER seen salt or snow. This car was stored every winter and not driven until the roads were clear. Cloth interior in excellent shape, AM radio with 8 track player still remains in the dash, aftermarket AM/FM CD player is mounted in the glove box. Nothing is cut, spliced, molested. Dash pad is perfect, seats are perfect, door panels are perfect, headliners is perfect. Carpet is original and has a very few small stains. Nothing that is visible. There is no fading in the interior at all Under the hood is all original except for the VIR assembly. I upgraded to a high pressure switch system and updated the A/C to R134A. Nothing was cut or spliced to do this. Car retains all the original exhaust, smog equipment. I did replace the rubber fuel lines, fuel pump just for safety. Exterior of car has a few minor door dings on rear quarters, otherwise car is in excellent shape. Paint shines like it did from the factory, all chrome is perfect. I installed Chevy SS wheels and BF Goodrich Radial tires. Someone did put air shocks on it otherwise it has all stock components. Vinyl top is perfect, windows are scratch free, all weather seals are soft, plyable, and look brand new. This car drives like a brand new car, no wind noises. I drove it to a Good Guys car show in Des Moines IA last weekend. 358 miles round trip and had no issues, car was parked in a garage every night and there was not one drop of oil, liquid, or tranny fluid. Trunk retains the original jack, spare tire, trunk mat. This car performs beautiful, looks beautiful and is a time capsule of how cars were built in 1974. I do have the original hubcaps. I would drive this car anywhere with no worries.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
