SERIOUS SELLER WANTS SERIOUS BUYER
I am an over the road trucker will be back in town the weekend of the 13th would like to sell it then.
Bought this caprice about 6 years ago and it has been kept most of that time in my garage. It is in pretty good condition for its age. Except what I mention the car is original this means it is a 35ish old car. The trunk is clean no rust. and the floor pans are also rust free.

I put a posi rear with 373 gears in.

It also has a rebuilt turbo 350 with a nice shift kit.

New Headers and dual exhaust.

It has a 305 motor ( at first I was told it was a 350 motor then later on someone else said it is a 305. So I'll list it as a 305 and if it ends up being a 305 that ok. It has a lifter or valve tap.

It has an original am/fm CB radio.

It also has rear air shocks and blocks for the front springs. Was planning on putting new coils in the front but didn't get there.

It has larger wheels and tires that come with it. Not the big 20's. Yes the rear wheels stick a little pass the quarter panel.


Now for the bad news.

Yes it needs a paint job.

Yes the interior is dirty and has rips. Carpet needs replaced.

Yes the vinyl roof has a rip or two.

Yes there is a couple dings and I think just 2 or 3 rust spots.

When the mechanic was under it he said it was the cleanest 30 plus old car ha has seen. Passenger door is pushed in by one of my daughters using there butt to push it closed so I'm told. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
So it was parked in my garage last summer expecting to work on it this year part just don't have time.
 
Note : I have over $3500.00 in the car.

DEPOSIT OF 100.00 POSTAL MONEY ORDER MUST BE SENT SO I RCEIVE IT IN 3 DAYS. BALANCE BROUGHT WITH YOU WHEN YOU PICK UP THE CAPRICE WITH 7 DAYS AT END OF AUCTION.  

CAPRICE MUST BE PICKED UP WITH IN 7 DAYS WITH CASH WHEN YOU PICK IT UP.


On Mar-12-14 at 23:20:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

Sorry the part of the ad saying I will be out of town until the 13 is WRONG. I am a over the trucker but I'm off right now due to a medical leave so the caprice can be picked up anytime you want.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General 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.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
