WOW - ok I want to make a deal here, I've had this listed on here 3 times already and over 1000 hits and a couple dozen watcher each time
BUT Zero offers....   not sure what your not liking about this....

If you came searching for this, you know its the last full-size chevy convertible ever made - and restoring one is getting harder and harder as almost all 2/4door wagons went to demos and are now crushed and parts are hard to come by.

This is the prefect starting point if you want to turn it into a lowrider, it needs nothing and is complete - I've seen parts cars sell in the 5-8k range and need a total restore. 

SHIPPING - yes I'm in Canada (about 8 hours north of Great Falls MT) and yes this will need to be exported/imported if you are a USA buyer, I know a broker that will make this painless and its no different then buying from anywhere else and getting it shipped. Depending on the final price I may be willing to chip in to this cost.

Oh and you might be thinking Canada = rust...  well we are in the prairies and don't have all that salt you see from cars down east, plus with the snow this car has been keep inside durring the winter season

Fell free to call to chat more about it (normal daylight hours... )   1-780-951- ONE SIX FOUR THREE    christopher
Will NOT take phone offers - please use the ebay button for offers this way I know your for real.


More pictures @   (you have to copy and paste the links)   even videos of it running !!!
and then I took more here
Trunk Untitled Untitled Untitled

Acquired the car in 1994 with somewhere around 30,000 miles and was all-original but had some rust issues from sitting.

Doors and Rear quarters where replaced with new, the inner rear wheel wells and front fenders came from rust free AZ car.
Motor and Interior where never touch that’s the way it came and has survived.

While doing all the work, came across a complete square bucket setup from a 76 caprice, which I think, looks much better.
The original color was yellow – it was repainted GM champagne from a 96 olds aurora
The top was replaced about 5 years ago due to some kids breaking the rear glass and the only way to replace it was a new top.

The car officially needs nothing, gas and go…. But as you can see from the pictures its no trailer queen – its also far from a bucket of junk, its and older restoration and depending on how picky you are it could use new paint, front seats are cracked a complete fluid flush and maybe tires soon. But is complete and I don’t think you can build one from scratch for this price.

Flaws that I know about – the rear flex marks on the rear deck are cracking and the paint is starting to crack away. Front pass fender has a blister that looks like rust, but its been there since shortly after it was painted and hasn’t gotten any worst over the year, I can’t say for sure its not rust my guess was something wasn’t prep’d be for painting in that one spot. Some of the clear is starting to come off need the front header panel. The gold trim on pot metal was done by a clear gold powder coat and does have some flaws if you get up close. One caprice emblem is missing, have looks high and low for one with no luck. The power top works but you need to stop it half way and tuck in the window; I think it just needs a good lube. Also the power windows could use a tweaking as you need to adjust (by hand) the rear ones to seat nice to the top. Also it almost time for new door seals as they are starting to flake apart.

Not only is it fully loaded – it has every option but the 454 – it has the rare gauge pack, power sear, rear defogger, power trunk, contortion a/c among the regular stuff you expect power windows, door locks, cruise, tilt wheel, bumper guards and power top. The wire wheels in some pictures are not included they where stolen awhile back – it just has caprice covers from a early 80’s

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [w/videos]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

I think I was supposed to be back hours ago. Driving northwest on State Road 190 with a final destination deep in the heart of the Death Valley National Park, it occurs to me that I might have agreed to return after an hour or so, instead of the four I'll end up stealing, solo, in the new Z06. Somewhere in the combination of mountain vistas, arching, speed-hungry desert roads, and the sound of this titanic engine on a constant run up the rev ladder, I forgot everything I'd promised back at home base. The generous, civilized part of me worries for a moment that absconding with the new-best Corvette might have left one of my fellow journalists without a car. But the selfish part of me – the part largely in control of the rocket-launcher of a throttle under my right foot ­– says "screw it." I spent two days with the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, a monster of a sports car that will soon be dominating track days everywhere, and I never once was inclined to share it. Hurtling through the shattered stillness of the desert and pulling big Gs at Spring Mountain circuit, I never felt overly disposed to give up my seat. This Corvette, more than any I've yet driven, was deep enough to hold my attention; for two days, for two years, probably. With this Z06, the Corvette steps over the amazing-for-the-price category, and solidly into the best-cars-in-the-world zone. There are peripheral elements that remind me of its blue collar, Bowtie heritage, sure, but there's more that simply begs me to carry on driving... faster. Most casual car observers will be able to pick the 2015 Z06 out from its less aggressive Stingray brothers. Subtler hints include a new, more open grille, larger extractor on the taller hood and rather discreet badges on the flanks of the car. More outrageous is the finned spoiler on the rear trunk lid, and the widebody look offered from flared fenders – an extra 1.57 inches (40 millimeters) at their beefiest point. Even driving around performance-car-laden Pahrump, NV – loaded thanks to the very active community at the Spring Mountain racing resort – members of the local populace were turning heads, waving and generally noting the Z06 with approval when I drove through town. In Torch Red over black painted aluminum wheels, staggered at 19-inches in front and 20 at the back, the amped-up Z06 hits a new level of road presence for the C7.

Recharge Wrap-up: 'Racing Extinction' Tesla, Wards praises 3 hybrids

Fri, Dec 11 2015

The makers of Racing Extinction used a tricked out Tesla Model S for their movie. The artists and activists used the electric car as a platform to project images from nature in various cities to raise awareness about imperiled wildlife. In addition to a the high-powered projector, the Model S features a electroluminescent paint job that emits light to mimic creatures found in the wild, such as bioluminescent sea life. It also has a thermal imaging camera in the front of the car with a filter to view CO2 emissions. Check it out in the video above, and read more at Ecomento. WardsAuto has named the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid's powertrain to its list of 10 Best Engines. As the first plug-in hybrid to make the list, WardsAuto World Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter praises Hyundai engineers for their "impeccable job blending fuel efficiency with refinement and daily usability." Wards notes the car's smooth transitions between electric and hybrid modes, and a well-connected six-speed automatic transmission. Other electrified vehicles to make the list are the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and 2016 Toyota Prius. Read more from Hyundai, at Green Car Reports. FEV's plug-in hybrid battery pack has gone into vehicle series production. The 10-kWh battery pack, developed by the German development services provider, offers an all-electric range of about 30 miles. FEV says its battery management algorithms are just as important as choosing the right battery hardware. "The core system for the battery development is our own mature battery management system (BMS), now in its third generation, that together with optimized algorithms allows a very reliable and stable control of the battery," says FEV's Dr. Michael Stapelbroek. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release from FEV below. Hybrid Vehicle Goes Into Series Production FEV development competence consists of batteries, controls, as well as complete drive systems FEV has demonstrated competence in the development of alternative drive concepts for almost twenty years. Most recently, yet another plug-in hybrid vehicle has gone into series production with technology provided by the Aachen-based developer. In addition to using an innovative transmission concept which is based on a FEV patent, FEV also developed the battery technology of the plug-in hybrid vehicle to series production readiness.
