1975 CHEVROLET CAPRICE CLASSIC CONVERTIABLE 400 Small Block - gauge pack and other rare options 56,xxx Original Miles 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
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 |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
