1968 Chevy Caprice Restoration Project, Minimum Input For Maximum Output on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Where to start? Second Owner. This vehicle has been in my possession since 1992. It was driven only from 1992-1994. My father passed away in 1993, and this was his vehicle so technically he passed it down to me/inherited. Since then it has been kept in a series of garages, most recently and presently in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 5mins north of Minneapolis,MN. The last time I drove the vehicle was the summer of 2010. This is also the last time I worked on the vehicle in attempt to get it driving. I just have not been fortunate enough to have the money to put in to it and it is unfortunate because with the right mechanic and just a few grand this car will be a treat for who ever is the owner. It is a restoration project. The exterior of the vehicle is steel, has only one minor dent in the front siding by the drivers headlight. It has rust but not major at all, minor spots on hood close to windshield. Very confident that the right mechanic can get it started and running today with some savvy know how and the current parts and a jump. This car is a steal, I just do not have the means. It also has sentimental value because it was my deceased fathers hence the reason I've held off selling it and another reason its been hard to part with/price. Honestly the car is in my family garage behind a few other vehicles so I have not been able to take any exterior photos, and the rear seat of the interior is filled with old tires from my families various vehicles so I was able to take pictures of the front seats and dash. Its a 2 door hardtop currently a light green, same as interior. This car is a boat, very long, sturdy, wide, strong. Its the perfect combo of american muscle mixed with west coast lowrider. Throughout the years Ive had many offers on the vehicles just from passers by when it was out in the yard back in 10' and even before then ever since, lots of family friends make offers but they dont stand on them so I am giving Ebay a shot. You can check as many listings and value charts that are out there. This car in its current shape is every bit worth what I am asking for it. I apologize for not having many photos or good photos at that but the body is original, if you search a 68' Caprice, its just a hassle for me to move two defunct vehicles that are blocking this one in. A rare vehicle, especially in the midwest. It is a full restoration project, but instead of starting out with a shell of a vehicle you get a basically complete vehicle that just needs love and care and matanince to the already car that it is. Has all seats, sidings for interior, had a cd deck in but still have original radio, airplane shifter in between the front seats, cruise control, there's a lot about the vehicle that is nice. Serious BUYERS YOUR INVITED INTO MY GARAGE TO COME AND SEE THE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL OUT UNTIL ALL SNOW IS GONE OR AT A MINIMUM HERE IN MN. HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR SITTING OUTSIDE DURING ANY WINTER SINCE 1992 WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN. LIKE MANY YOULL BE ASKING ME FOR MORE PICTURES BUT HONESTLY WITH THE CONDITIONS UP HERE IN MINNESOTA I CANNOT PULL IT OUT OF THE GARAGE JUST TO TAKE PICTURES ITS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE FOR ME, WILL BE ABLE TO ONCE IT WARMS UP HOPEFULLY LATE MID-LATE MARCH AND ITS NOT SNOW STORMING. I DO APOLOGIZE I WAS HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE SNAPS OF IT IN THE GARAGE BUT ITS NOT A LITE GARAGE.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE
Tue, Jan 14 2014General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
