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

Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady gives Chevy Colorado to Malcolm Butler [w/poll]

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Winning the Super Bowl, we'd imagine, is pretty sweet. Winning the MVP award at the Super Bowl, even more so – for many reasons, among them that you get a brand new Chevy Colorado, packed full of, you know... technology and stuff. Of course this year's Most Valuable Player was none other than Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quaterback who was crowned Super Bowl MVP for the third time and lead the Pats to win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. He makes tens of millions every season, and Mrs. Brady (a.k.a. Gisele Bundchen) probably makes an extraordinarily pretty penny herself. So what does one of the most successful and wealthy players in NFL history need with a new pickup truck? Not a whole lot, apparently: the Boston Business Journal reports that he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback who intercepted Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson's pass on the Patriots' one-yard line with only twenty seconds to go and sealed the victory for New England. Which strikes us as a fitting gesture, even if Brady did keep the MVP trophy for himself.

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

2019 GMC Sierra revealed with CarbonPro bed and new diesel engine

Thu, Mar 1 2018

It's only March, and it's already been one hell of a year for trucks. January's Detroit Auto Show saw the reveals of the 2019 Ram 1500, 2019 Ford Ranger and the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The Chicago Auto Show brought new versions of the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Today, we finally got our first look at the Silverado's twin, the 2019 GMC Sierra. The truck features new styling, a new diesel engine and — on the Sierra Denali — a carbon fiber bed. As with every new full-size truck, the Sierra is larger than the outgoing model in almost every dimension, though exact dimensions haven't been revealed. For reference, though, the Chevy Silverado's bed is 7-inches wider than before. The new Sierra grille is more upright than before and features new C-shaped lighting. The Denali gets LED headlights, tail lights and fog lights. Both SLT and Denali trims get unique 22-inch wheels. As we saw in spy photos, the Sierra's interior is mostly just a copy of the Silverado's with some chrome accents sprinkled throughout. If you like the current truck interiors, you'll be pleased with the new model. Those hoping for a wholesale change will be left wanting. The big improvements inside include a full-color heads-up display, trailer hitch assist apps and cameras, and the rear-camera mirror found in models like the Chevy Traverse and Cadillac CT6. Safety and convenience features include a surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and low-speed automatic braking. Like the Silverado, there's been a significant effort to cut weight in the new Sierra. The 2019 model loses as much as 360 pounds compared to the current truck. It uses aluminum for the doors, hood and tailgate. Steel is still used for the fenders, roof and standard cargo box. The Denali, however, gets the real surprise here. Available only on the top-tier trim, the bed box will be constructed of carbon fiber rather than steel, saving 62 pounds. Carbon fiber only replaces the steel inner panels and floor. GMC says the carbon fiber will also help scratch and corrosion resistance. SLT and Denali models also get a new MultiPro tailgate. This is unique to the Sierra and separate from the Silverado's power assist unit. A new feature that helps one get into and out of the bed using an assist handle. The tailgate step has a maximum weight capacity of 375 pounds. There multiple positions that allow customers to extend the bed, or drop the center vertically to gain easier access to the back.
