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.  

The car is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS. There is no warranty. Ask all questions before bidding. The car is available for viewing in person. Additional photos available upon request. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as vehicle is also listed for local sale. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit due through paypal within 48 hours of auction ending. Balance is due in cash or certified check. All funds must clear before vehicle and title are released. Clear New Jersey title in hand.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany

Wed, Nov 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
