Here is my 1973 Chevy Caprice Convertible. This car just hit 49,000 original miles. I am the second owner of this car, and it has always been babied. The elderly woman I bought it from was in tears when I bought the car from her and I just might do the same. This car is ultra clean, and super straight. This car is 98% pure stock. The only things that have been altered/modified on this car are the headlights, and stereo. I installed 4 brand new BLUE HALO headlights which look incredible at night, and I installed a CD player in the glove box with AUX/IPOD hookup. The original AM/FM radio is still un-touched, and is still hooked up, but the speaker wires have been run to the CD player. Here is some more info on this classic-

  • CONVERTIBLE TOP- The convertible top is in excellent shape, the canvas still has flex to it and is strong. The arms, and gears for the scissor-top have always been greased and lubricated, and work perfect. I installed a new relay last year when it was starting to feel slow, fixed it right away. This is a very nice GM scissor-top car. Has the hard glass rear window, with rear window defogger.

  • OPTIONS- This is a pretty well optioned car. Has painted hard FIBERGLASS PARADE BOOT! Also, power windows that jump up and down, fastest moving windows I’ve ever seen in a classic car. Very rare tilt-steering column, SUPER RARE rear defogger, AM/FM radio. ALSO, if interested, I will include a complete power seat track and mechanism to convert to stock power seats for an additional $400.

  • EXTERIOR- Car is gorgeous, there is light touch up work done here and there over the last 41 years, but you really don’t notice it when the rest of the car is this nice. If this car had a nice respray done, it would be a true show car. That’s really all this car needs to be a perfect classic car. There is one small area in front of the pass. side rear tire that is starting to develop light pitting, these cars just do that. I couldn’t imagine a good body shop charging more than a couple hundred bucks to clean it up. That is the only rust on the car. Convertible top is in excellent condition, and works perfect. Has hard glass rear window with defogger! Also has factory ordered spoke hubcaps, with near-new tires all around and a new full-size spare in trunk. Skirts are excellent, and all chrome trim is beautiful.
  • INTERIOR- Interior is pretty much a perfect example of a 1973 Caprice convertible interior. It has brand new chrome door sill plates, Perfect original GM floor mats. Dash is 100% original, un-modified, and clean. Dash top has no cracks, and is perfect. No cracks, or blemishes at all. Seats are excellent, carpet is good, all options work perfect. Original AM/FM radio, that still has power connected, but speakers are connected to stereo in glovebox. Has new speakers front and back. 2- 6x9’s in rear, 2- 4’’ speakers in front, and 1- 6x9 in front. Stereo is loud, but with a amp and subs it would be killer. Excellent door panels and trim. Interior is great. NOTHING has been chopped or cut or messed with in this interior, with the exception of a hole cut in the glove box for the CD player, and a small slit in the carpet for the aux cable and halo light switch to pop out that you can’t even see.

  • DRIVETRAIN/ MECHANICAL- Original front to back. 6.6L 400 c.i.d. small block with a 2 barrel carb. 350 trans. Car runs perfect. DRIVE ANYWHERE. Brakes are new, and strong. Exhaust is original, and quiet. Everything under the car is clean, and rust free. This car has NEVER seen snow, and since I’ve owned it, it’s never been driven in rain. I just put brand new wipers on for the sale because the ones on it were ancient since I never used them. Everything on this car is 100% functional. Again, you can drive this car anywhere.

  • NEW PARTS/ REPAIRS- This car has a new battery, alternator, belts, carb.base gasket, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, points, ignition coil, air and fuel filter, fuel pump, vacuum hoses, brakes front and rear, new heavy-duty radiator, thermostat, trans. pan gasket, and filter, rear main seal for trans. was also replaced. Fresh oil change, and rear end oil. Brand new Blue Halo headlights. This car needs nothing and is ready to cruise and turn heads.

So, as you can see, this convertible is extremely nice. You do not see many 1973’s that are this clean and this stock in this kind of condition.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
