1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible

Same Lady Owner Since 1989



Factory Air Conditioning and Power Windows


Just Serviced and Inspected


Rare Opportunity............................LOW RESERVE





Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer this Barn Fresh, Original, and Unrestored 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible. We were Lucky enough to acquire this Low Mileage Survivor from the long term lady owner and her husband, along with a few other choice Beauties. Looking at the back of the Pa. inspection sticker, and the lube sticker on the windshield(photos below), they had it serviced after the 2005 driving season, put it in the barn(actually it was a pole building that stored tractors and lawn equipment, along with three other cars), and covered it up like usual. Well, they must have gotten busy, and time just flew by!! Fast forward to a few months ago, and we purchased the cars because they "needed the room".
 
The nice lady purchased it from the first retail owner way back in 1989. Looking at the original books that we have, It appears that a dealer in Florida kept it for a while, and then sold it to the people that our dear lady bought it from. I have Pa registration cards dating back to 1988, so it's anyone's guess when it came to Pennsylvania.
 
This Gorgeous Caprice Classic is almost totally original outside, with zero rust or any signs of repair. There may have been some minor paint touch up over the years, but the paint meter reads pretty consistent of 2.5-3.5 mls all around the car with the exception of the left door, which reads 4.5 mls. Seems mostly original to me. The body is nice and straight with no signs of damage, or accidents. The chrome and brightwork are just Gorgeous as well, with no pitting or damage noticed. The White convertible top also looks original, with no damage or even shrinkage. It works as it should with ease. As noted in the photos, the boot is a bit shrunk, and may stretch out with some sun, and usage.

The white vinyl interior is also totally original with exception of the carpets. The originals were badly worn and faded, so we replaced them to freshen it up inside. It now looks fantastic!!!  All power accessories are functioning normally including the sound system, and the 4 power windows. The rears should be disassembled and adjusted, as they are a bit wobbly on the way down. Climate control is working, but A/C is not icey cold. We will attempt a Recharge during auctions course.

This was an easy one to "Wake Up" after it's 8 year slumber. We checked the fluid levels, installed a fresh Interstate battery, poured a bit of gas in the carb, and it fired right up. A short drive to the local filling station, and ten gallons of fresh fuel, this car now runs and drives perfect. I have driven it personally about 100 miles or so, with no noted issues. The more that I drive it, the better it runs!! Front brakes pulsate a little bit, but should clean up after more driving. Worst case is a fresh pair of rotors!! We did a fresh oil change, just because it had been several years standing, and a VERY time consuming detail on the exterior to bring the Medium Red paint back to it's former Glory.

Unrestored examples like this one are unheard of! Most have over 200 Thousand miles by now, and are either worn out, and extremely ratty, or are made over rust buckets!! Values are Rapidly rising, and this is sure to be a sound investment with a LOT of fun attached!! Remember....they are Original ONLY ONCE!!!!


Please keep in mind that this is an almost FORTY year old unrestored, original car. It is not perfect, or a restored trailer queen. There are a few blemishes, nicks etc. here and there. Nothing major, but it is NOT perfect!!! We have a clean Pennsylvania title in the dealership's name.


Take a look at the 40+ photographs below and see the actual condition of this One of A Kind Caprice Classic Convertible.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
