Gorgeous Unrestored 1975 Chevy Caprice Classic on 2040-cars
West Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
|
Offered from my collection is a beautiful unrestored 1975 Chevy Caprice Classic convertible with its original 454 cubic inch engine in the color combination of red exterior, white interior and white convertible top which turns heads everywhere. Only 8360 of these vehicles were manufactured and of those, GM estimates only 700 were equipped with the top of the line 454 engine. The car runs excellent and floats down the road. Does not burn a drop of oil. For a 40+ year old convertible it is nice and tight without all the annoying squeaks and rattles normally found in drop tops. The car is fully loaded with power steering, power brakes, power window’s, power door locks, air- conditioning, tilt wheel, power trunk release and lots more (See pic). The exhaust is new, the undercarriage is as clean as the rest of the vehicle and the tires have less than a thousand (1000) miles on them. New hood insulation. The interior is original and in outstanding condition. The seats do not have a spot on them and there are no rips or tears. All of the gauges, badges, knobs and buttons are original and everything works except the cruise control. The carpet and dash pad cover are new. The top is power with a glass window and works perfectly with no leaks whatsoever. The car is nice and straight, there are no dings, no dents and no bondo. The paint has been touched up where needed but there is still plenty of original paint on it. The bumpers are the originals and along with the rest of the exterior chrome are in excellent condition…no pitting and no rust. The chrome side mirrors are also in great shape with only minor pitting. This vehicle is an outstanding example of this, the last of the full size convertibles and I would have to believe it is one of the nicest unrestored examples around. You can drive it right now to a show and win a trophy without spending a dime on it. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS AND PAYMENT IN FULL WITHIN 7 DAYS. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. |

Meet the mother-daughter team that's worked on almost every Chevy Volt
Sun, May 11 2014It's Mother's Day, and we're soft enough we love our mothers enough to share a new video from General Motors with you. In it, we meet Monique Watson (left) and Evetta Osbourne, a mother-daughter team that works at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly where GM makes the Chevy Volt (along with all of GM's other plug-in hybrids: the Opel Ampera, Holden Volt and Cadillac ELR). The two work side-by-side and have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on almost all of those vehicles - nearly 80,000 of them - since GM started making the pre-production Volts in 2009. In a prepared statement, Watson said that she likes working next to her mom, day in and day out, and they the two are totally in sync when it comes to putting the 400-pound, 16.5-kWh packs into the vehicle undersides. They two can also share stories throughout the day, and Watson said, "The arrangement has absolutely improved our relationship." Osborne started working at Detroit-Hamtramck in 1999, Watson since 2006. If you're driving a Volt today, you probably have them to thank for doing a bit of the work putting your car together. See a short video of them in action below. It's Always Mother's Day for Detroit-Hamtramck Duo Mother, daughter install lithium-ion battery pack in nearly all GM electric vehicles 2014-05-08 DETROIT – For Detroit resident Evetta Osborne, every day is Mother's Day. That's because she literally works side by side with her daughter, Monique Watson, at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. They have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on nearly every Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, and Cadillac ELR since production began. In fact, apart from vacation days and an occasional sick day, the mother-daughter duo has installed almost every battery pack since the Volt was in pre-production in 2009. The ELR launched earlier this year. All told – including Ampera – that's more than 80,000 electric vehicles. "We're a good team and our relationship is secondary when it comes to performing our jobs – but it's great to work alongside my daughter, said Osborne, a mother of five. Because the battery packs weigh more than 400 pounds each, automatic guided vehicles – robotic carts that use sensors to follow a path through the plant – deliver them just as the vehicle body structures glide into position overhead. The carts then lift the T-shaped packs, and Osborne and Watson guide them into the chassis and secure each one with 24 fasteners.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
