Here is an absolutely SPECTACULAR and incredible car! This is a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice 4 door sedan with only 53,000 ORIGINAL MILES! In my opinion, it would actually pass for half that many (25k to 30k)! This Original Survivor is an unbelievable time capsule! I acquired it from a family member of the original owner. This family member had owned it for 32 years! Car has always been pampered, garaged, and never driven in snow or ice. All original body panels, floors, etc. No patch panels, and not rusted out or bondoed. Body is nice and straight. Not full of door dings or "parking lot rash". Ready to drive or take to cruise ins or shows. Very striking in Sequoia Green with black deluxe cloth interior, this Caprice is equipped as follows: 1. 400 Cubic Inch V8 engine 2. 3 speed automatic transmission. 3. Power steering and power disc brakes 4. AM radio 5. Deluxe cloth and vinyl interior group and appearance group 6 Black Landau vinyl top 7. Exterior appearance group including bumper guards, door edge guards, and factory fender skirts 8. Air Conditioning (new compressor, and changed over to newer type refrigerant) This beautiful Caprice is an un-restored original Survivor and looks great! Nice and shiny, not faded or oxidized. Chrome, emblems, and bright work are also bright and crisp. This is one of the most original cars I have seen in awhile. It has never been detailed or cleaned up under the hood or in the trunk! Still looks great! Underside of car is also nice and clean. The interior is immaculate and original. No cracks in dash or door panels. Headliner and cloth on seats looks great! As you would imagine, this car hits the road just great! The engine and transmission are smooth and powerful. Cruises effortlessly at highway speeds, with no problems or issues that I am aware of. Only things that don't work are the clock and the AM radio. Radio seems to come on, but I believe the speaker is blown. I drove it on a 225 mile trip recently with no problems at all. I would not be afraid to drive anywhere! I have been getting between 14 and 17 MPG on Regular 87 Octane unleaded gasoline. Car has 4 white wall radial tires with excellent tread. Original spare is in trunk. Also original mat and cardboard insert pieces. The best way I can describe this car is to imagine you have a time machine that could transport you back to late 1974 or early 1975. It is like going to your Chevy dealer back then and buying a 2 or 3 year old well cared for car off the front line of his used car department! Yes, before you moan and groan that it is a 4 door, I wish it was a 2 door too! However, I would much rather have a virgin, un-molested, honest 4 door than a thrown together 2 door for much more money that is full of rust and bondo! Great car for Survivor class at car shows or vintage car tours. Remember, they are only original once! Please call me with questions: Landline 518-604-4050 Cell: 704-661-1326 NOTE: I am at my summer home in the mountains of upstate New York. Cell service can be spotty up here. Best to call both and leave messages at both. Or, feel free to message me through Ebay with your phone number, and I will be happy to call you back. Now for the rules: IMPORTANT: Please read and understand these rules BEFORE bidding. They are part of the listing terms and contract you are agreeing to when you bid. Please DO NOT bid, then try to change them later. That's not how it works. If you have questions, please ask and get answers BEFORE you bid. If you don't intend to abide by the rules, please look elsewhere. 1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid! 2. A NON-REFUNDABLE $1000 partial payment is due within 48 hours of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer or cashiers check. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. 3. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's close. This can be by bank wire transfer, cashiers check or cash in person. If you are paying balance upon pickup of car, it must be cash in person. 4. Car and title will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or title will be released. No exceptions! 5. Car is sold strictly as-is at my premises with no guarantee or warranty of any kind. 6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it is still YOUR responsibility. 7. If you cannot pick up car immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God. 9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 Cell or 518-604-4050 Landline with any further questions about this. Again, best to call both and leave messages at both, or send me a message through Ebay messaging. 10. If you have been an Ebay member for less than a year and/or have less than 10 feedbacks, and/or have less than a 95% rating, you MUST contact me BEFORE you bid. Failure to do this may result in my cancelling your bid and blocking you from bidding on my items. I understand that new members can be great customers, but I must talk to you first. Thanks a lot. I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for l NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! ABOUT ME: I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years! I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Safety group pans GM’s new Marketplace in-dash shopping
Wed, Dec 6 2017When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
