1966 Chevrolet Caprice 396

This 1966 Caprice with only 67k actual miles is a true time capsule. It runs and drives incredible and I would not hesitate to take it across country. It is documented with a copy of the original Dealer Invoice. The 396/325hp V8 engine is the one it left the factory with (vin and broach marks clearly visible on the deck pad), and it has its original Turbo 400 transmission and 12 Bolt rear. Factory options include Power Steering, Power Brakes, Factory Gauges, AM Pushbutton radio with Rear Speaker, Deluxe Seat Belts, Tinted Windshield, Trunk Light, Air Conditioning, Astro Bucket Seats with Headrests, and Front and Rear Floor Mats.

The car runs and drives amazing! Every engine component is original to the car with the exception of the water pump and starter. The engine was recently rebuilt and up until then the engine bay was untouched. When the engine was rebuilt it was also repainted so I went ahead and touched up the air cleaner and radiator so the whole engine bay looks nice and clean. The underhood still retains its factory black paint with a hint of Aztec Bronze. The hood insulation was falling apart so I removed it but new molded hood insulation is available if the new owner wishes to replace it. The car has its original exhaust manifolds and part of the original single exhaust pipes. There were several holes in the pipes so NOS Walker tailpipes with resonators were located and the exhaust was changed to dual with OEM style mufflers which keep it quiet in the car with just a little rumble outside which is perfect for this car.

The car still retains most of its original Aztec Bronze factory paint with the exception of an area touched up on the hood, some repaint on the right rear quarter panel and some touch up on the driver side. As far as I can tell the rest of the paint is original and in fantastic condition for its age. It does show minor lacquer checking and a few dings and paint chips here and there. The car is completely rust free and has never had any rust repair. All the sheetmetal is original including the trunk and floorpans. The vinyl top and all the brightwork and chrome is original as is the glass. The car is riding on 15" Ralley Wheels with new Coker radial redline tires.

The factory Bronze Bucket Seat interior is completely original and is in exceptional condition! All gauges, lights, heater, AC work with the exception of the clock. The AM radio works great. The AC blows hard and blows cool, but not as cold as it should be. I have a can of R12 but haven't been able to find anyone with the needed equipment to top it off yet. The compressor works fine and I'm sure that after all these years that's all it needs to blow ice cold. The drivers seat has a few places where the stitching is beginning to pull apart and there are a couple of areas on the dash where the paint is peeled, but other than that the interior is in amazing original condition. It even has the original Aztec Bronze floor mats!

This car is always a hit at car shows and constantly turns heads with its stunning color combination of Aztec Bronze with Bronze interior. It is a dream to drive as it floats down the road with power to spare. The power steering, automatic transmission and air conditioning make for one fantastic summer cruiser! Please call 405-310-9666 with any questions.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
