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.

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.
