Offered for sale is a very rare 1967 Caprice convertible. Absolutely unmolested, unrestored and ready to be driven to shows and meets. The 427 engine growls as it should and the Caprice runs flawlessly. The three-speed turbo-hydramatic transmission shifts fine. The car has just over 90,000 original miles and has recently come out of an estate owned by a serious Chevrolet collector. This powerful car spent most of its life in Kalispell, Montana. Engine code "IJ" is correct for the car. Has lots of options: air conditioning (all the parts are there but it is not hooked up), power windows, power top, factory AM/FM radio, and tilt column. The radio actually plays but faintly--I would guess a new speaker.The ragtop looks good from twenty feet..closer inspection reveals a few minor items which need to be dealt with if someone planned to show the car. A couple of seams in the front bench seat have separated, there are a couple of small cracks in the padded dash, the windshield has one small rock pit but it is in line with the mirror and out of driver's field of vision. The body could also use a little TLC..a couple of places where rust is showing, a small crease in the LH fender, deck lid shows repaint over a previous repair on the lid's upper surface. Although the car can be driven and enjoyed with pride just like it is, the poor repaint does little justice to this highly collectable car. A paint job would improve things a lot. The ride is smooth but a new set of narrow whites would be a fine complement to the correct factory rally wheels. More photos available upon request. Car is advertised locally.

A final note: The top mechanism works as it should and the black paint on the rails still has its gloss. The top? Well, it would keep out the rain but the seam below the glass back window is coming loose. If you plan on driving this in Seattle in March, buy a new top (I don't know who would do a damned fool thing like that anyway?). Other minor issue---arm rest pads could be replaced as well as the front kick panels. Nothing serious--just cosmetic flaws. The door trim panels are good and solid but there are small spots on the upper vinyl which could either be touched up or not...as the full description states, this big block Chevrolet is an UNRESTORED classic. With the low reserve price I have set, there is lots of money left over to dress this convertible out and still own a true classic on the cheap. If it doesn't sell, I'll drive the beast all summer and garage it this winter...and make small cosmetic improvements as time goes by.

Okay...Thanks to some sharp eyed Ebayers, I have done more checking myself and it seems that this car which I bought out of an estate, is not quite what the Montana title says it is: a Caprice convertible. This car started out its life as a two door hardtop! Whenever the conversion was done, it was done very, very well. I have been around collector Chevrolets most of my life and I was still certtain that a mistake had been in the VIN somewhere..until I crawled underneath the car. Yep...hardtop frame. Thusly I am making the first bidder an opportunity ti withdraw his bid and we will start this over again. Sorry...I guess you can never completely trust a title.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks
Tue, May 26 2015General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
