1973 Cevrolet Caprice Original "454" Car, Numbers Matching, Behind The Barn Find on 2040-cars
Cheney, Washington, United States
1973 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, Original "454" car with Turbo 400. It has the original engine, transmission and rear end. It looks like original paint and other than a few dings and dents and some rust on the lower sections, the car is a good old solid car. It has factory air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, after market cruise control, remote outside mirror, tilt steering wheel, factory fender skirts, factory under hood light, factory trunk light, factory bumper guards. The speedometer says 54,204 miles, but I would imagine that it has 154,204 miles? I have no way of knowing if it the speedometer has been turned over or not. The car needs a total restoration in my eyes, but it's up to you. We bought the car in 1998 and it was our daily driver until 2001. We parked it due to fuel costs because of of long commute to work, it was running and driving fine until that point. We were driving it around 35-40 miles a day, mostly freeway miles. So it's been parked behind our shop since 2001. I put a new battery and a new set of points in the distributor and some gas in the tank and it fired right up last month. We drove it in the shop, changed the oil and filter, cleaned it up a little and put it up for sale. The engine still sounds pretty good and the transmission works in all gears, but the brakes seem to be hanging up a little. It is a original green car with a vinyl top and green interior. I do have a few extra parts that I will throw in off of a 1972 Chevy Impala, a front bumper and a transmission cross member. They look similar to the Caprice, if you don't want them let me know. It would be a fun project for someone who likes these bigger cars. We have more pictures of the car if you want them or if there is some part of the car you would like to see better, just let me know. We tried to get pictures on Ebay to cover most of the car that we could. If you have any questions at all, please give me a call at 509-701-3633. The car will be sold as is. Thanks for looking, good luck. There will be a $1000.00 non-refundable deposit due as soon as the auction ends and payment due in full within 3 days of auction close. Pay Pal will work for the deposit and either cash in person or bank wire transfer, no exceptions.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
