For Sale 1974 Caprice Classic Convertible
excellent condition to drive or show! (same body style as Impala)
Minimal effort to make showroom quality!
I have owned this car for close to ten years. It has been garaged all it's life and it shows. It still has the original top, a little worn around the edges but still soft, pliable, and by no means needs replaced. The back glass is actual glass, and the top functions very well. I live in South Central Illinois and use the car for vacationing. My wife and I have driven it to the California Coast, Las Vegas, and Florida several times. During a trip out west we had a blow out and dinged all 4 corners of the car. It has since been repaired to factory specs. This happened around 2005 the hood and the trunk lid were about the only thing that was not repainted. My wife and I prefer having a nice quiet vacation rather than an adventure so an undependable car would be out of the question. We have since drove the car to Florida 4 or 5 times. The car still drives, runs, shifts, and Handles as it should. I would not be afraid to jump in this car right now and drive it to anywhere in the Continental US. and back home. If you are the winning bidder keep in mind that you could fly in and drive it home. It is that dependable!
This car does get poor mileage any where from 11mpg to 15mpg at best are the results I have experienced.
I have modified a few things to make the car more user friendly.
Mods :
Air conditioner has been switched to the new freon
Electronic ignition
Distributor curved
Tilt Wheel
Dual exhaust all the way back
Rear Air shocks
Am Fm cd mp3 player Xm compatible
I did not keep the original parts except for the original steering column. I really do not wish to sell the car but, my wife asked if I would consider thinning out my toys.
So for ONE TIME ONLY!!!!! I will list this car.
I encourage anyone to come look at the Convertible before bidding if this is not possible please email me with questions. Do not assume anything, this is almost a 40 year old vehicle and I want your purchase to be a pleasant one with no regrets. If you're like me you'll always have buyers remorse. In the case of this car I have not regretted owning it one moment, and I paid a premium price for it.
If you do not have the means to purchase and maintain this vehicle I urge you not to bid, all bidders with a Feed back score less than 25 positive feedback at 100% must email me before bidding. Other wise I will be forced to decline your bid. I am also requesting a $200.00 nonrefundable payment to be made right at auction close, for listing fees. This will be applied to the balance at the time of purchase of the high bidder.
Please note the car is for sale locally also, so the auction can end at anytime.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
I will assist in anyway I can to help this process but do not assume anything, ask first. Also I do not wish to sell internationally.
The car will not be shipped or the title sent to the new owner until payment has cleared the bank. Cash always works best!
Thank You for taking the time to read the full auction description, if you have any questions or request more pictures please email me early in the auction. I may not be able to answer your request in the eleventh hour.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards
Tue, Jul 1 2014Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
