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.

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.

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.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit
Sat, Jan 10 2015It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt
