1968 Chevrolet Caprice 2 Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
Lewis, Kansas, United States
|
Start off by saying, I really hate to sell this car, but I kind of need to, but don't have too. I have had this car for 12 years now, and my dad had it for the 15 years before that. I drove the car for 1 year, and it went down hill so bad, that i parked it, and it has been sitting for 11 years in our Shed. My dad, has known the car since it was brand new. The car was drivin up to the early 80s till the motor lost compression, so the owner of the time rebuilt the motor, and installed the cam bearings wrong, and the motor spun the bearings and ruined the block. My dad got it in 1987, and Put another 327 in it from a 1968 impala, and that is the way it sits today. Motor ran last time it was fired up, which was about 5 years ago. Drove the car into town last time it was fired up, and everything worked fine. So hard to say how it is now. Car has plenty of rust, as is expected with a car of its time. Interior is very rough as is the paint. Came factory with Power brakes, air conditioning, and Cruise control. Not sure what else to tell you about the car, pictures pretty much tell the story. Had/have big plans to restore the car, but am starting to see the writing on the wall. Would love to see it go to a good home, someone who is going to restore it and take car of it. Once again, I do not have to sell the car, but could use the money and the space. I reserve the Right to end the auction early, If i feel the need to. Thanks for veiwing, happy bidding.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
