I have my ALL  ORIGINAL 1972 Caprice up for sale! I call this car "Papa Smurf" because of the original Blue w/White Vinyl Top color combination. I will start off by saying this is the car that you hear about people finding in barns, but never get lucky enough to find yourself until now!! I purchased this beautiful car from the original family that have owned this car since 1972, and bought brand new. I happened to be at the right place at the right time is the only reason I was lucky enough to get this car. I have the original dealer plate certificate/vehicle warranty to support what I'm saying'. I also have the original owners manual along with a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice/Impala options catalog. This car also has the original sun visors with complete instructions on how to start the car in hot or cold weather conditions, and I have never seen that on any of my other Chevrolets. I have owned several 70's model Caprice/Impalas, and this is by far the most beautiful, complete, and original one that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. This car had one re-paint back in 1990 to the original color, but it looks like it was just painted because this car has been garage kept since 1972! I also want to say that the car has been in storage every since I have owned it as you can see in the pics. This really was a lil ol' lady's car because that is who purchased and drove the car for the main majority of it's existance until she sadly passed away, and left it to her son which who sold it to me. He appeared to be in his late 60's to early 70's, by the way. This car comes with the 6.6L 402 Big Block which did not come standard with the car, and was a special order for the year so you are getting a rare Caprice. The 402 is basically a factory hotrod engine that started out as a 396 Big Block that was bored 0.30 over at the factory over making it a very powerful and strong 402 Big Block! The  transmission is a 350 Turbo Hydra-matic that shifts again around 70 m.p.h. This big thing just floats down the highway like a brand new car with lots of power when you need it! This car is missing NOTHING, and everything works. It has all the chrome trim, interior pieces, engine components, and even has the carpeted trunk w/ ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE and JACK! This is a numbers matching car that makes a huge difference to the collectors. This car is also equipped with the 4 Seasons Air Conditioning that's been already converted to R134, and works great. All new weather stripping has just been installed around the windows and doors making it air tight inside the car which makes a big difference as far as outside noise, and outside temperature getting in. Like I said this car is ALL ORIGINAL even down to the Original 8 Track Player that STILL WORKS. With this car you are getting something that's in it's pure form, and has not been stepped on by anyone! The engine has just been serviced with a detailed checkup and a fresh oil change. The car also has all new hoses under the hood. This car also already has rear air shocks installed. The exhaust leaks water when engine is running. If you know anything about cars then you know when a car leaks water that means the engine is running very cool and right. This car has a new master cylinder as well as a new radiator that was installed recently. Even the muffler that was replaced was replaced with an oem muffler instead of an aftermarket muffler to keep the car original. The seats are near perfect with the exception of the driver's seat having minor rips due to wear and tear with it being a 41 year old car. The rest of the seats are in excellent condition especially the back seat because it looks like nobody has ever sat in it. The headliner, sun tray, and dashboard(no cracks) are all in excellent shape! Even the woodgrain trim that's usually faded in these old cars is excellent, and the cigarette lighter still works after all these years. All the chrome is beautiful on the car with no rust, and it has the Deluxe Bumpers that come standard on the Caprice, but not on the Impala. The fuel guage works,and is very accurate due to the new fuel sending unit that's in the tank The car also has a new fuel pump. The Original White Vinyl top is also in excellent shape with no tears. The body is laser straight and has never had any bondo! The hood, trunk, and doors all shut as they did when the car was new and all line up with no gaps between the different body panels. Just look closely at the pics to see what I mean. This car is almost in showroom condition, and I personally have not seen none nicer in person. Whether you want to purchase this car to drive as is, or put the oversized wheels, and loud speakers in it you have a good start for either way. These old cars are becoming extinct like the dinosaurs, and to find one in this shape is very rare, and especially a 2 door hardtop! I have nothing to hide which is why I didn't cover up my license plate like other people, and I will say that the car does have very minor surface rust over the rear fender skirt on the driver's side, but no holes and NOT coming through the paint. If I wouldn't have told you then you probably would have never noticed.  I have been all over the internet looking at these cars for sale, and you are not gonna find one like this one that's in it's all original NUMBERS MATCHING condition for under 20k NOWHERE, so my Buy It Now price is a steal!! I'm sure you can find a 1972 cheaper, but by the time you hunt down and pay for all the missing parts, bodywork, and mechanical issues you are gonna wish you bought this one in the first place. If you want junk then I can't help you, but if you want a beautiful original  classic then here you go! .I realize that I will probably not find another 1972 Caprice in this shape that's affordable again, but my loss is your gain. You really have to see and drive this car in person to really appreciate the true beauty of it. I reserve the right to end this listing early due to the car being advertised locally also. Thanks for viewing my car/listing, and Happy Bidding!!

Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000

Fri, Aug 1 2014

It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
