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. |

Chevrolet FNR is a sharp vision of the future in Shanghai
Mon, Apr 20 2015The Shanghai Motor Show is about more than just displaying the latest extended-wheelbase luxury sedans to the Chinese populace. Chevrolet is taking advantage of the event to debut its vision of the future of motoring with the FNR concept, and the capsule looks like it could be fresh from off the set of Blade Runner. The FNR imagines what a fully autonomous, electric vehicle might look like many years from now and is meant to appeal to young, Chinese consumers. The concept's design from the minds at GM's Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center does a pretty neat magic trick, too. Most times it's a mass of glass and curving lines that looks very sci-fi, but then the dragonfly doors open upwards to reveal some knife-edged angles in the styling, as well. As a cutting-edge concept, this capsule is also packed with futuristic tech. Power comes from magnetic hubless electric motors in each wheel, and it could charge wirelessly. Crystal lasers generate the headlights and taillights, and radar in the roof would allow scanning the surroundings for autonomous driving. The interior is similarly imaginative as the rest of the styling. Passengers are enveloped in blue light while sitting in mostly mesh chairs with huge bolsters. Keys have been done away with entirely in favor of iris recognition. Once on the road, the front seats even swivel around to more easily talk with rear passengers. Check it all out in the gallery above for a glimpse a Chevy's vision of what might be next.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The 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.
