 Offered up for your consideration is a 69 Caprice with what is believed to be the original numbers matching 427 big block....I have checked the block casting   which ends with 270...I have a hard time trying to read the vin by the oil filter   but all clamps and such look to be all original...I bought this online a few months ago...it came out of a barn in Vancouver Washington where it had been sitting for 20 plus years....My original plan was to pull the motor and tranny for my 69 camaro   and part out the rest of the car......As my luck runs, the car is much nicer than I was originally led to believe..I bought it as a non runner...After some fresh gas and a little tinkering  she now runs and drives....She does smoke a little when first started  and is in desperate need of a tune up...She runs rough and has a miss    but there are no knocks or pings....Since I can't see pulling such a nice car apart   especially a numbers match car...I figured I would just pass it on and find another motor and tranny for my camaro.......IF SHE DOESN'T SELL  I WILL PULL IT APART!!!!!   I will offer the rolling shell  for half of what I have it listed for     if that doesn't work   the it will be parts and pieces.....I would really prefer not to do that to such a nice car though...Now for details
The body is super solid   with just a small hint of rust in the rear wheel wells, the rear seat is stained, the front bench has a small tear, the headliner has some small holes  & the car is a bit musty from sitting so long..The a/c compressor seems to work  but the blower motor doesn't blow..There is some slight surface rust on top of the front hood  but no rot
The cragers have been sold    but I have a really nice set of rally wheels which will go with the car.....If anyone wants to speak to me about it   my cell is 631   949   7770         I will consider partial trades  for items such as   utility / car trailer, chevelle, camaro,  may consider other   NO BIKES!!  let me know

Please note  this vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty written or implied,,all funds must clear before car is released....any questions please call or email

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors

Tue, Sep 13 2016

The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
