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.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits

Tue, Apr 25 2023

General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion.  GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday.  North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million.  The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
