I have owned this car for almost 2 years and it sure turns heads! It's a rare '69 Caprice as it was built just like an Impala SS with its 427/390 engine with buckets seats, a console shift automatic, and rally wheels. It would only take a few SS emblems to turn it into a nice SS clone. This car drives like a dream with its 116" wheelbase. The car is equipped with PS, PB, PW, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, rear defogger, leather seats, and automatic climate control. The A/C compressor was replaced recently and the thermal vacuum switch needs to be replaced. The car was repainted and is in average condition. The blue vinyl roof is original and is faded. The front end was completely redone with new control arms and bushings and the engine was rebuilt according to the former owner. It runs very strong and does not have any leaks. The transmission shifts with no problems and is hooked up to a 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. Both mufflers are fairly new and are quiet giving the car its sleeper appearance even though there is plenty of power under the hood. People driving by always point to the 427 badges on the front fenders followed by a quick thumbs up. The leather interior is in very good condition and the back seat looks like its never been sat on. I can't say the engine is numbers matching because the numbers are too hard to read on the pad but every other code and date on the engine reflects it being correct for a '69. I recently replaced the windshield and power window master switch. The speedometer works as do the power windows and all interior lights. There is one idiot light that won't turn off. The intake # is 3931067, the block code is 3963512, and the engine pad # is T0525LC. That LC code is correct for a '69 Caprice with the 427/390 engine. I'm selling the car because I just bought a 2011 Vette and need the space in my garage. If you have any questions, call my cell - 515-782-0904.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 15 2016

Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
