1968 Chevy Caprice all original with matching numbers 396ci, 325hp engine and TD 400 Transmission
This is a sweet Caprice, I have had since 2005 and had been restoring until 2010. I am the second owner and car is an original Eastern Washington car, very dry. Started the restoration by sand blasting the whole vehicle down to bare metal, found some rust that needed repairing, replaced both lower quarter panels and patched both front fenders with all new metal. Then primer, body work and original Chevy red paint, base coat clear coat, buffed to glass finish. New windshield, original side and back glass and new vinyl top. interior was fully gone threw in all original color ways, new carpet, head liner, seats and cushions recovered. New dash pad and dash repainted. stereo was installed in glove box, with aux cable. Two ten inch MTX sub woofers, and 600 watt amp, sounds great and trunk and quarter panels are Dynamatted. Trunk is also fulling boxed in and carpeted to match sub box and inside of trunk lid, looks really clean and simple. 22" wire wheels have been installed and look sharp on this car, i really like the look and it turns heads although not for everyone, so I can offer original wheels, white walls and hub caps, please let me know if that is the way you like it before bidding. 22" wheels are in good shape with a couple small imperfections and chrome is not perfect. tires are good. Now for the Best thing ever!!! The all original never molested, never pulled out only tuned up and kept in tip top shape, the 396ci, 325 hp big block Chevy. This thing is a beast. never had a better sound more power or a better looking block. I love this engine and was the main reason I bought the car. Numbers all match and can be decoded in the pictures. Carburetor was rebuilt a little while ago and starts up and runs so smooth, no stall or delays. New radiator, and fluids and everything checked regularly. New battery was just installed, due to sitting for a while. new Magnaflow dual exhaust also installed and sounds perfect. I have spent a ton of time and energy to make this Caprice a head turning, fun, easy to own car. so many parts where purchased threw classic industries, including lights, interior parts, chrome belt moldings, metal replacement parts, and tons more. Lots of pictures, and documentation of the restoration. will include with sale. Thanks a ton for looking and happy bidding, any questions feel free to email.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger
Mon, Apr 13 2015The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
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:
