For Sale 1974 Caprice Classic Convertible
excellent condition to drive or show! (same body style as Impala)
Minimal effort to make showroom quality!
I have owned this car for close to ten years. It has been garaged all it's life and it shows. It still has the original top, a little worn around the edges but still soft, pliable, and by no means needs replaced. The back glass is actual glass, and the top functions very well. I live in South Central Illinois and use the car for vacationing. My wife and I have driven it to the California Coast, Las Vegas, and Florida several times. During a trip out west we had a blow out and dinged all 4 corners of the car. It has since been repaired to factory specs. This happened around 2005 the hood and the trunk lid were about the only thing that was not repainted. My wife and I prefer having a nice quiet vacation rather than an adventure so an undependable car would be out of the question. We have since drove the car to Florida 4 or 5 times. The car still drives, runs, shifts, and Handles as it should. I would not be afraid to jump in this car right now and drive it to anywhere in the Continental US. and back home. If you are the winning bidder keep in mind that you could fly in and drive it home. It is that dependable!
This car does get poor mileage any where from 11mpg to 15mpg at best are the results I have experienced.
I have modified a few things to make the car more user friendly.
Mods :
Air conditioner has been switched to the new freon
Electronic ignition
Distributor curved
Tilt Wheel
Dual exhaust all the way back
Rear Air shocks
Am Fm cd mp3 player Xm compatible
I did not keep the original parts except for the original steering column. I really do not wish to sell the car but, my wife asked if I would consider thinning out my toys.
So for ONE TIME ONLY!!!!! I will list this car.
I encourage anyone to come look at the Convertible before bidding if this is not possible please email me with questions. Do not assume anything, this is almost a 40 year old vehicle and I want your purchase to be a pleasant one with no regrets. If you're like me you'll always have buyers remorse. In the case of this car I have not regretted owning it one moment, and I paid a premium price for it.
If you do not have the means to purchase and maintain this vehicle I urge you not to bid, all bidders with a Feed back score less than 25 positive feedback at 100% must email me before bidding. Other wise I will be forced to decline your bid. I am also requesting a $200.00 nonrefundable payment to be made right at auction close, for listing fees. This will be applied to the balance at the time of purchase of the high bidder.
Please note the car is for sale locally also, so the auction can end at anytime.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
I will assist in anyway I can to help this process but do not assume anything, ask first. Also I do not wish to sell internationally.
The car will not be shipped or the title sent to the new owner until payment has cleared the bank. Cash always works best!
Thank You for taking the time to read the full auction description, if you have any questions or request more pictures please email me early in the auction. I may not be able to answer your request in the eleventh hour.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
