1968 Chevrolet Caprice Blown Hot Rod Street Pro Street Custom Rat Supercharged on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a 1968 Chevrolet Caprice. I bought this car in 1996 from the original owner and spent 2 years performing a complete body on restoration. This car has lived in a garage since completion, only coming out for an occasional car show. Vehicle has 71,776 original miles. I hate to have to sell it, but I just don't have the time to really enjoy it anymore.

The body was restored and painted in PPG Passion Red basecoat/clear coat. Rechromed front and rear bumper. It has a black Caprice cloth interior. Cragar Mag wheels and BF Goodrich tires were added. Front tires are 225/60R15 and rears are 275/60R15. All suspension and body bushings were replaced with PST polygraphite bushings.  

The engine is a fully blueprinted 350 cubic inch 4 bolt main block that was bored out to a 355. Chevrolet Bow-Tie heads.  Engine was professionally built by Pro Motion Engines. The complete engine was built to B&M specs. The blower is a B&M Megablower which is equivalent to a 6:71. TRW L2441F turbo pistons. Forged steel crankshaft. Roller rockers. 2 Holley 0-3310 4 barrel carbs set up by the Holley Custom Shop. Mallory electric fuel pump and regulator. MSD 6-AL ignition. Fluidamper steel harmonic balancer certified SFI Spec 18.1. Autometer and VDO gauges. Hooker Super Comp Headers. Moroso extra capacity oil pan. 4 core radiator. Street Performance engine brackets

The transmission is a Turbo Hydramatic 400 that was built with the B&M Stage 2 Transpak. B&M torque converter, Hammer shifter, Super Cooler trans cooler, and extra capacity trans pan. Rear end is a GM 12 bolt rear with an Eaton Posi unit and 3.42:1 gear ratio. Rear axle  came out of a big block station wagon so it has the original 4-link control arms versus the standard Impala 3 link.  Power brakes were added as well as front power disc brakes from a 1970 Impala.

Car is in excellent condition with a laser straight body. I will disclose about the imperfections that I know about. The vinyl roof is original. The vinyl has no rips or tears and is in excellent condition. The passenger side rear pillar area has a gray stain in the vinyl that can be seen in picture. This could possibly be dyed but I never looked into it. Both rear lower corners of the back window, shows small rust bubble under the vinyl. Front grille has a small dent on the drivers side upper area. Can be seen in picture. Front grille also has 2 small corner trim pieces that are missing. Original front seat fabric has a tear in it but is covered by a quality aftermarket seat cover. Car was a factory a/c car but it has been removed due to installation of the supercharged engine.
