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.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con
Tue, Jul 22 2014When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.
