Erie, Pennsylvania, United States

Rare Caprice Coupe with low miles for the year. Repainted in original color last year. Four new coil springs and front shocks. New stabilizer links and center link, along with front end alignment. Car sits as good as the day it left the factory. It's ready for upgraded larger rims or keep the original old school look with the brand new Vintiques 15" wheels from Summit Racing, on Cooper tires, with excellent tread.

All manuals included along with service records from myself and the previous owner, a retired gentlemen, and previous owner of the car. He had new wires, plugs, fuel tank and fuel pump done shortly before I purchased the car. This car has been very well maintained and is reliable. The 305 V8 runs smooth and the choke works properly at startup. Transmission shifts excellent with no issues. :Cruise down the highway in style and enjoy the ultra smooth ride!

The interior has no rips or tears and shows minimal signs of wear. The top of the rear seats have a bit of fading from the sun as well as the driver's side front seat on the side facing the door.  The headliner does not sag. Carpet is clean and has almost no wear. No cracks in the dash, has some sun fading. Steering wheel is perfect, and all interior trim is in near mint condition. There is an aftermarket radio with a CD player and thumb drive.

Chrome is excellent. This coupe has the rare Landau vinyl roof which is in mint condition and shows no wear at all. No rust around the rear windows or roof line. Trunk has new gasket seal and there is no rust in the trunk.  Window gaskets are original and are in good condition. Car passed stringent PA state inspection last month.

There is a small spot of bubbling around the top of the driver's side wheel well. This is the result the body shop not sanding that area properly. (See photo) There is no bondo on the car, with the exception of this area and a small repair on the pass. quarter panel. There is some rust on the bottom inside panel of the driver's door which has been treated with POR 15, an undercarriage treatment. ( See photo.) The floor pans are rust free; the undercarriage is in good condition and was recently rust proofed. This car was driven as a daily driver over the years and some scaling is present on the upper and lower control arms and other underbody components.

AC is 112 and needs to be changed over to 134A to blow cold.

Contact me with any questions. This is a very nice car and I have given a very honest description of it. You will not be disappointed! Thanks.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
