1966 Chevrolet Caprice 396

This 1966 Caprice with only 67k actual miles is a true time capsule. It runs and drives incredible and I would not hesitate to take it across country. It is documented with a copy of the original Dealer Invoice. The 396/325hp V8 engine is the one it left the factory with (vin and broach marks clearly visible on the deck pad), and it has its original Turbo 400 transmission and 12 Bolt rear. Factory options include Power Steering, Power Brakes, Factory Gauges, AM Pushbutton radio with Rear Speaker, Deluxe Seat Belts, Tinted Windshield, Trunk Light, Air Conditioning, Astro Bucket Seats with Headrests, and Front and Rear Floor Mats.

The car runs and drives amazing! Every engine component is original to the car with the exception of the water pump and starter. The engine was recently rebuilt and up until then the engine bay was untouched. When the engine was rebuilt it was also repainted so I went ahead and touched up the air cleaner and radiator so the whole engine bay looks nice and clean. The underhood still retains its factory black paint with a hint of Aztec Bronze. The hood insulation was falling apart so I removed it but new molded hood insulation is available if the new owner wishes to replace it. The car has its original exhaust manifolds and part of the original single exhaust pipes. There were several holes in the pipes so NOS Walker tailpipes with resonators were located and the exhaust was changed to dual with OEM style mufflers which keep it quiet in the car with just a little rumble outside which is perfect for this car.

The car still retains most of its original Aztec Bronze factory paint with the exception of an area touched up on the hood, some repaint on the right rear quarter panel and some touch up on the driver side. As far as I can tell the rest of the paint is original and in fantastic condition for its age. It does show minor lacquer checking and a few dings and paint chips here and there. The car is completely rust free and has never had any rust repair. All the sheetmetal is original including the trunk and floorpans. The vinyl top and all the brightwork and chrome is original as is the glass. The car is riding on 15" Ralley Wheels with new Coker radial redline tires.

The factory Bronze Bucket Seat interior is completely original and is in exceptional condition! All gauges, lights, heater, AC work with the exception of the clock. The AM radio works great. The AC blows hard and blows cool, but not as cold as it should be. I have a can of R12 but haven't been able to find anyone with the needed equipment to top it off yet. The compressor works fine and I'm sure that after all these years that's all it needs to blow ice cold. The drivers seat has a few places where the stitching is beginning to pull apart and there are a couple of areas on the dash where the paint is peeled, but other than that the interior is in amazing original condition. It even has the original Aztec Bronze floor mats!

This car is always a hit at car shows and constantly turns heads with its stunning color combination of Aztec Bronze with Bronze interior. It is a dream to drive as it floats down the road with power to spare. The power steering, automatic transmission and air conditioning make for one fantastic summer cruiser! Please call 405-310-9666 with any questions.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York

Sat, Apr 4 2015

Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus.

With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
