Im selling my 1975 caprice classic convertable because I am buying a new house and am getting married and all toys must go asap Ihave over $50,000 total invested in this car and it looks better than when it came off the show room floor. Ive added every option and all the toys n gadgets to this one and if was not for us moving n needing the cash to get in our new house trust me this car would not leave my side. Here are some of the things ive done to it, all tubular a-arms in front and all new moog suspention parts,new custom upper and lower grills in front,new hid lights with new lenses and also the orange halo headlights on all 4 lights ( plasma newest n brightest out),full custom lift but not to high because wanted to keep the 28" wheels tucked,new custom dual exaust,completely redone engine and painted it all back original and replaced all gaskets and components on engine (water pump,alternator,fuel pump,belts,hoses,radiator,cam and lifter set and plugs and wires all this year).also put 2000 stall converter in transmision and new front and rear main seals in motor and all trans seals were replaced as well as the trans pan gasket and filter.underneath of car looks as new as it did in 1975 and no rust anywhere on this car at ALL! Now for the good stuff. I put brand new 28" tires and rims on the car which were completely sandblasted all the way down to the bare metal and professionally painted black and orange to match the paint color of the car. I also replaced all body bushings,shocks,coil springs, and all brake shoes,brake pads,brake harwear, drums, rotors,wheel cylinders,all brake lines,and also all new gears (stock) in rear end as well as bump stops.REPLACED THE CHEAPER VINYL TOP WITH A BLACK CLOTH TOP because thought the vinyl one made car look cheap and i didnt build it to save money. I had entire car stripped down and proffetionally painted at josh and dads body shop in trotwood and paint color is called i believe candy orange glow ,it has beuitiful ghost stripes (graphics) going from front to back and everywhere there was a chrome emblem i took off and had the emblems painted on it in ghost graphics.I ALSO TOOK ALL THE INTERIOR OUT N HAD IT ALL REDONE ALL BLACK LEATHER WITH A SMALL ORANGE PINSTRIPE IN CENTER OF EACH SEAT TO ACCENT CAR AND ADD JUST A TOUCH OF COLOR TO THE INTERIOR AND IT ALSO HAS AN UPGRADED CUSTOM "ORANGE LED DIGITAL DASH". Interior also has all new side panels and new black carpet and a custom console built and wrapped in the same black leather as the seats ALSO HAS A CUSTOM ALL ALUMINUM BUILIT STEERING WHEEL and has a 2013 pioneer touchscreen double din tv in console with 2 cup holders built in it and also (2) 5 1/4 memphis mojo mids and highs located on the side of the custom console.There is also 2 custom made and wrapped kick panels under dash that were covered in same black material and also have (2) memphis mojo 5 1/4 speakers in them as well. then in rear seat i have 4 more memphis mojo speakers mounted in side panels close to arm rests 2 on each side and all 8 0f them are on memphis crossovers and were all profetionally installed by stereo indash in dayton,ohio and all 8 memphis mids and hight are ran on a massive 3 foot long memphis mojo 125x4 amplifier which will blow your ear drums. Now last but not least we have the trunk which has all new trunk seals as does the doors and the trunk was completely done by Xtreme auto sports ( Mike Frudenburg ) WHICH IS THE COLDEST FABRICATOR AND DESIGHNER AT MAKING ONE OF A KIND VEHICLES. The trunk is completely customized with the memphis 3000x1 sub amp and the memphis 125x4 highs amp mounted under custom made glass with orange led lights which light up the windows and theres a custom 4 foot piece of custom glass built into the top of the box and was sent out and had it profestioally etched and says "CAPRICE CLASIC" with the caprice emblem etched in between the two words and also has bright orange led lights which glow through the etching and looks amazing. The box is the size of the entire trunk and all wrapped in same black leather as the interior and is flawless, there was no short cuts or money being saved on this build its one of a kind and all led orange lights are on mercury switch so they are off while trunk is closed but as soon as you open trunk n the mercury ball moves it kicks on all the lighs.There is also a $800 dollar audio battery in the rear which a custom made steel box was made for it to sit in and is mounted inside box by quarter panel so you see nothing but the quality work and quality parts used to build this one of a kind car. THE CAR ALSO CAME WITH POWER WINDOWS AND IS AN A/C CAR AND IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND HEAT IS AMAZING.I am the second owner of the vehicle and it has always been garage kept . It does have a nice alarm on it as well ofcouse ( we do live in dayton ) lol... I know im missing a lot of things but theres so much done to it that its hard to remember but hope someone takes it off my hands and takes as good care of it as i have an at the price im asking im loosing over half of what i have in it have around $53-55,00 in it and thats not including hundreds of hours of my own time, but my loss is your gain and if you want to have the best car in dayton or dam near anywhere then heres your chance and at less than half the price.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
