SERIOUS SELLER WANTS SERIOUS BUYER
I am an over the road trucker will be back in town the weekend of the 13th would like to sell it then.
Bought this caprice about 6 years ago and it has been kept most of that time in my garage. It is in pretty good condition for its age. Except what I mention the car is original this means it is a 35ish old car. The trunk is clean no rust. and the floor pans are also rust free.

I put a posi rear with 373 gears in.

It also has a rebuilt turbo 350 with a nice shift kit.

New Headers and dual exhaust.

It has a 305 motor ( at first I was told it was a 350 motor then later on someone else said it is a 305. So I'll list it as a 305 and if it ends up being a 305 that ok. It has a lifter or valve tap.

It has an original am/fm CB radio.

It also has rear air shocks and blocks for the front springs. Was planning on putting new coils in the front but didn't get there.

It has larger wheels and tires that come with it. Not the big 20's. Yes the rear wheels stick a little pass the quarter panel.


Now for the bad news.

Yes it needs a paint job.

Yes the interior is dirty and has rips. Carpet needs replaced.

Yes the vinyl roof has a rip or two.

Yes there is a couple dings and I think just 2 or 3 rust spots.

When the mechanic was under it he said it was the cleanest 30 plus old car ha has seen. Passenger door is pushed in by one of my daughters using there butt to push it closed so I'm told. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
So it was parked in my garage last summer expecting to work on it this year part just don't have time.
 
Note : I have over $3500.00 in the car.

DEPOSIT OF 100.00 POSTAL MONEY ORDER MUST BE SENT SO I RCEIVE IT IN 3 DAYS. BALANCE BROUGHT WITH YOU WHEN YOU PICK UP THE CAPRICE WITH 7 DAYS AT END OF AUCTION.  

CAPRICE MUST BE PICKED UP WITH IN 7 DAYS WITH CASH WHEN YOU PICK IT UP.


On Mar-12-14 at 23:20:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

Sorry the part of the ad saying I will be out of town until the 13 is WRONG. I am a over the trucker but I'm off right now due to a medical leave so the caprice can be picked up anytime you want.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
