1969 Chevrolet Caprice 2 Door Big Block!! Tilt, Power Steering, No Reserve! Wow! on 2040-cars
Machesney Park, Illinois, United States
1969 Chevrolet Caprice 2 DOOR *BIG BLOCK* PLEASE READ THE AD COMPLETELY This car runs down the road like a dream, very smooth, transmission is tight, motor is strong, suspension floats right along, and the brakes work great. This is definitely a driver's car. Whether you want to cruise it to work, car shows, or up the highway and out of town, this car is ready for it. The car has a 454ci engine, T400 Transmission, and 12 Bolt Rear End. It originally had a 396ci engine. I was told that the intake and exhaust manifolds are original but I'm not sure how to verify that. The body of the car is pretty darn solid except for the rear lower sections of both fenders. There is some rust on both sides but I purchased patch panels for both sides and ill throw them in with the purchase of the car. The paint of the car is oxidized from years of sitting but could be buffed up nicely, some chipping on the hood and nose, and a few dingers and dents here and there. The left rear quarter trim has a piece missing but I have another one that is COMPLETE that will be thrown in with the car!! Everything I've noticed I took a picture of so you can see what is going on with the car. The trunk, floors, frame, and underbody are VERY solid. The interior is pretty nice, good carpet, seats have good cushion still, dash is Nice, as well as the instrument panels. The seat has a couple tears in it, as well as some buttons missing. The headliner has a small tear too. To me this car is in great shape especially in comparison to a lot of others. It has its minor cosmetic flaw which are shown in the pictures, but to the right person this is a gem.... to someone that wants a solid car, smooth driver, and that's ready to hit the road. Please ask any questions about the car that you feel fit, I will answer them honestly and to the best of my knowledge. If you would like specific pictures please let me know and I will get them over right away, as I'm not here to hide anything about the car. Also the car is available for show if you are in the area, I would be happy to show it. Also its for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. The Car is being sold as is with no warranty. The buyer is responsible for pick up and/or shipping of the vehicle. If you have questions you are also more than welcome to call or text as well 815-980-0125 if I do not answer, leave a message and ill get back to you. Thanks for Looking and Happy Bidding |

Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery
Thu, May 15 2014As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.
