Original 1966 Chevy Caprice 283, 3 on the tree! First year of the Caprice! Texas body original. Three speed standard on the column! Rare Aztec Brown on Aztec Brown color, see the vinyl, top nice. This car has literally been in a time capsule since the 80's when it was put in dry storage! It is as original and untouched as they come. See some light rust around rear wheels. The trunk, frame, and floors solid. It has a 283, three on the tree, with 88,000 original miles. Was brought out of storage and a new clutch, alternator, battery, and all the little things to make it run like new were professionally installed. We have put over 200 miles on it since all the work was done and it is a true firm, quiet, vintage, cruiser , we went over 100 miles at 70 mph plus. There are no fluid drips, or funny noises no smoke white or black coming out of the very quiet exhaust, it can be driven off the lot to anywhere in the country without a doubt. Radio and clock does not work and blinkers have to be used by hand up and down to flash. All the lights work otherwise. Needs a latch for the middle front seat console. It has original paint, interior, everything as this 1 owner car originally came with, see door jams and interior! Headliner tight with one small quarter size hole. Dash a couple of splits, really not bad, drivers side windshield has a crack running down it on far left. Its not perfect, but it is pretty nice, see pics and ask questions. Great car to frame off restore or just drive it like it is this summer and restore it as a winter project, we recently took this on a 100 mile test run at speeds up to 80mph, no mechanical issues whatsoever! Note: $200 down payment required within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 1 week. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
