Up for sale today is a 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 door. This is my father in laws car and he is no longer able to enjoy it, as it should be enjoyed, due to some health issues. I will list all the facts I know about the car. It is in good condition given the age of the car. It is a 4 door without the post, which makes it look almost as cool as a 2 door. It shows 60839 miles on the odometer, but I can not say that is correct except the car is in REALLY NICE shape if it has 160839 miles on it. It is green with a newer black vinyl top and green cloth interior. It's powered by a 327/250 horse engine and has a Powerglide transmission and factory posi-traction rear end, with power brakes. The drive train is "numbers matching" to the best of our knowledge. It still has exhaust manifolds, the cables installed in case of a motor mount failure and correct carb. The water pump has been replaced as has the radiator and exhaust from the manifolds back. The engine seems to start and run fine. It is an older carb motor, so it can be fussy in the cold start up mode. Once it gets a bit of heat in it, it runs fine. The transmission seems to shift as it should. The brakes are fine and work as well as drum brakes should. The interior is in fair shape for its age. It has a nice headliner and dash. The steering wheel, which is a tilt steering wheel, has a crack and so does the dash pad. The gauge cluster looks nice. All the glass is in very nice clear condition. The rear package tray is "wavy" and could be replaced. The carpet is rescent but was not cut correctly on the driver side front. Door panels are reasonably clean except for some water stains due to windows left rolled down a bit. They may clean up. They don't appear to have gotten wavy yet. The window seals are cracked but not bad enough for the door panels to have gotten wet from them. It still has its original AM/FM radio, I don't know how well it works. The clock does not work, but how many did after the first year or so? Back seat has a water stains on both sides, but is in nice shape otherwise. Front seat needs to be recovered. It has torn in the seams, especially on the driver side. All seat belts are there and are original. The exterior has had a repaint a number of years ago. It just wasn't prepped right, because it is chipping in a few places near corners and moldings. There is a dent on the passenger front door. I don't know if it can be pulled out. I think it can. There is a chip on the front of the car. The only real obvious rust I can easily see is on the lower edge of the left rear quarter. The car came from Michigan, but was rust proofed when new and really has held up nicely for its age. I wasn't able to take pictures of the bottom of the car, but I have seen it a few months back and it looks sound. The trunk looks sound, but the seal may be starting to leak and should be replaced. I say a small amount of moisture when I took the pictures. I was going to pull the trunk mat for a couple of pictures, but it seemed to be stuck. I did not want to tear it up trying to pull it back. The spare tire is a bias ply tire. I don't know if it is original. All of the turn signals, headlights, high beams, interior lights and backup lights work as does the horn and key buzzer. The under hood and trunk light also work. The car rides on stock steel wheels with all four original hub caps and newer radial tires which seem to have good thread left. It is missing the right rear wheel well opening molding but the others are there. All the chrome seems descent, there again the car is about 46 years old!! As I said, the top was recently replaced and shows no signs of rust under it. All the stainless moldings look very nice for a old car and I believe them to be original. Most reproductions are very thin and flimsy. These seem pretty sturdy. Besides the power steering, power brakes and posi, it also has an AM/FM radio, under hood and trunk lights which still light up, tilt wheel. I have a bunch of pictures but can't post them all SO PLEASE ask any questions and ask for more pictures and I will try to answer any questions and get more pictures to you. There is a reserve and it also is available locally so I may end the auction early. If you win the auction, I need a $500.00 deposit made to my Pay Pal account and the balance made in cash within 14 days of the end of the auction unless you make arrangements with me. If the balance is made other than in cash, I will hold the car and title till all funds have cleared. I can work with you on shipping arrangements if needed, but all arrangements are up to the buyer. I have had previous interest by overseas buyers, but just don't feel comfortable with that....SORRY. Thanks. |

Malcolm Butler gets the MVP's Chevy Colorado
Wed, Feb 11 2015In the wake of the Super Bowl last week, we reported that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intended to give the Chevy Colorado awarded to him as the game's most valuable player to Malcolm Butler instead. In our informal poll (to say nothing of the hundred-plus comments that ensued), an overwhelming 86.7 percent of you, our loyal readers, agreed that it was the right thing to do. And now that's precisely what's happened. "After consulting Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady," the automaker said in the press release below, "Chevrolet presented an all-new Colorado pickup to New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler." The rookie, as you may have seen in between the commercials, made the game-saving interception that handed his team the victory, propelling Butler to stardom. "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado," said Butler upon taking delivery of his new red pickup. "It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." We can only imagine. Enjoy the truck, Malcolm; you've earned it.

The Colorado was intended to be awarded to Brady, the Patriots' quarterback, in recognition of his Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award. However, Brady and Chevrolet huddled on Monday and Chevrolet determined Butler deserved recognition for his game-saving interception. "I've seen several game-changing moments in big games, and Malcom's interception last Sunday ranks up there as one of the biggest," said Brady. "I appreciate Chevrolet wanting to honor the Super Bowl's top performer, and I'm glad they have agreed to award the Colorado to Malcolm." Said Butler: "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado. It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." The Chevrolet Colorado, 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year®, was engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and most technologically advanced midsize truck in the market. With class-leading horsepower and fuel economy along with a 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, the Colorado adds a new dimension to the Chevy truck line.
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
