1968 Chevy Caprice Restoration Project, Minimum Input For Maximum Output on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Where to start? Second Owner. This vehicle has been in my possession since 1992. It was driven only from 1992-1994. My father passed away in 1993, and this was his vehicle so technically he passed it down to me/inherited. Since then it has been kept in a series of garages, most recently and presently in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 5mins north of Minneapolis,MN. The last time I drove the vehicle was the summer of 2010. This is also the last time I worked on the vehicle in attempt to get it driving. I just have not been fortunate enough to have the money to put in to it and it is unfortunate because with the right mechanic and just a few grand this car will be a treat for who ever is the owner. It is a restoration project. The exterior of the vehicle is steel, has only one minor dent in the front siding by the drivers headlight. It has rust but not major at all, minor spots on hood close to windshield. Very confident that the right mechanic can get it started and running today with some savvy know how and the current parts and a jump. This car is a steal, I just do not have the means. It also has sentimental value because it was my deceased fathers hence the reason I've held off selling it and another reason its been hard to part with/price. Honestly the car is in my family garage behind a few other vehicles so I have not been able to take any exterior photos, and the rear seat of the interior is filled with old tires from my families various vehicles so I was able to take pictures of the front seats and dash. Its a 2 door hardtop currently a light green, same as interior. This car is a boat, very long, sturdy, wide, strong. Its the perfect combo of american muscle mixed with west coast lowrider. Throughout the years Ive had many offers on the vehicles just from passers by when it was out in the yard back in 10' and even before then ever since, lots of family friends make offers but they dont stand on them so I am giving Ebay a shot. You can check as many listings and value charts that are out there. This car in its current shape is every bit worth what I am asking for it. I apologize for not having many photos or good photos at that but the body is original, if you search a 68' Caprice, its just a hassle for me to move two defunct vehicles that are blocking this one in. A rare vehicle, especially in the midwest. It is a full restoration project, but instead of starting out with a shell of a vehicle you get a basically complete vehicle that just needs love and care and matanince to the already car that it is. Has all seats, sidings for interior, had a cd deck in but still have original radio, airplane shifter in between the front seats, cruise control, there's a lot about the vehicle that is nice. Serious BUYERS YOUR INVITED INTO MY GARAGE TO COME AND SEE THE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL OUT UNTIL ALL SNOW IS GONE OR AT A MINIMUM HERE IN MN. HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR SITTING OUTSIDE DURING ANY WINTER SINCE 1992 WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN. LIKE MANY YOULL BE ASKING ME FOR MORE PICTURES BUT HONESTLY WITH THE CONDITIONS UP HERE IN MINNESOTA I CANNOT PULL IT OUT OF THE GARAGE JUST TO TAKE PICTURES ITS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE FOR ME, WILL BE ABLE TO ONCE IT WARMS UP HOPEFULLY LATE MID-LATE MARCH AND ITS NOT SNOW STORMING. I DO APOLOGIZE I WAS HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE SNAPS OF IT IN THE GARAGE BUT ITS NOT A LITE GARAGE.
Completing the sale: Upon Sale, in person, Cash or Transfer into My account through PayPal You will have to come and retrieve the vehicle. Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55429 |

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy 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.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
