Up for sale is a truly incredible original car! This is an ALL ORIGINAL un-restored "SURVIVOR" 1978 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 2 door Sport Coupe! This is one of 3 years that the 2 door Caprices were offered in the unique "Aero-Coupe" design with aerodynamic wrap around rear glass that was later featured on the late 1980's Monte Carlo NASCAR "Aero-Coupes"! This beauty was acquired directly from the original owner and could be classified as a true "BARN FIND" as I literally bought it out of his barn where it had been lovingly stored! He bought the car new, drove it sparingly for about 10 years only in the spring, summer, and early fall. It was NEVER driven in snow or salt, and was always parked in the barn when not being used. Then, he took it off the road in 1998, keeping in in storage from then on. He also knew enough to store the car properly, start and run it every so often, as well as drive it a little in his neighborhood to keep seals and gaskets fresh and not leaking or dried out. The result is that this car still looks and drives incredibly! It has 62,000 original miles, but in my opinion, could easily pass for 25 or 30 thousand! Every where you look, this Caprice is unbelievably un-restored original! The original blue metallic paint still has a lot of depth and holds a great shine! There is some of the light "blotchiness" on the hood and deck lid of this car that was very characteristic of metallic colored GM cars of this era as the paint aged a few years, but it is NOT dull or cracked as you typically see on these cars. While there are a few minor nicks and scratches that go with any used car, it does not have a bunch of door dings or "parking lot rash" like you usually see. Original owner was always picky about parking it away from other cars in parking lots to avoid this. Car has never been wrecked, rusted, or patched. Has all original sheet metal body panels, floor pans, etc. Very clean underside, too. Nice and clean, not scaly. Original chrome and bright work are straight, bright and shiny. Original cloth interior is absolutely immaculate! No tears, rips, cracks in dash etc. Still has original GM floor mats. Trunk is also immaculate original with original spare, jack, and mat. Under hood is also nice un-restored original. You just don't find vintage cars more original and un-touched than this one! This Caprice Classic Coupe is equipped as follows: 1. 305/2bbl V8 engine 2. 3-speed automatic transmission 3. Power steering and brakes 4. Factory radio (Not working at this point). I have a spare factory radio that I will include with the car 5. Comfortron automatic climate control and air conditioning (still works, and blows cold) 6. Delay wiper system 7. Power trunk release 8. Deluxe cloth interior NOTE: This car DOES NOT have power windows, locks, or seat This Caprice drives like a dream! Smooth, good power, and quiet comfortable ride! Like sitting in your living room! We drove it last week on a 175 mile trip with absolutely no issues or problems. Ran nice and cool, did not leak or burn oil, or do anything out of the ordinary. I would not be afraid to drive this one anywhere! Also, I have all books and papers since new, including the original window sticker! You seldom see nice original cars like this that have been well cared for. This would be great for antique car tours, or entering in the HPOF (Historical Preservation of Original Features) or Survivor class at car shows. These all original Survivor cars are quickly becoming one of the most important aspects and valuable items in the collector car hobby today! Remember, anyone with a large checkbook can drag a derelict out of a junkyard and restore it, but they are only factory original once! Don't miss this great opportunity to get into the old car hobby with a beautiful original turn-key car at an affordable price!

Thanks very much for l NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! ABOUT ME: I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years! I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Let's Drive NYC is GM's car sharing program for the Big Apple
Sat, Oct 3 2015Under a new car sharing program offered by General Motors and others, a New York Minute will cost about 15 cents. GM is working with a luxury-apartment building owner and a parking lot operator to run a car sharing program in Midtown Manhattan. The program is called Let's Drive NYC and it was announced Thursday. Let's Drive NYC is being offered to residents of the Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building near New York's Times Square. The program is being run with the help of Icon Parking Systems, which runs about 200 parking garages in Manhattan where the cars can be parked. GM is contributing eight Chevrolet Trax crossovers and two Chevrolet Equinox SUVs, and the automaker is slated to add more vehicles "later." Residents of the Ritz Plaza, which is owned by Stonehenge Partners, can make "periodic apartment lease payments" and in exchange receive electronic credits for three hours of driving a month. After those three hours are up, the drivers will be charged less than $10 an hour, or as much as $75 a day. The program was piloted earlier this year to some of the apartment's tenants. The program marks the second bit of car sharing news in New York within the past two months. In August, Mercedes-Benz and Smart parent Daimler announced that its Car2go car sharing service would expand into Queens and add about 100 Smart ForTwo two-seaters to the city's program. Car2go made its New York debut in Brooklyn last October and has attracted more than 27,000 members since then. You can take a look at Let's Drive NYC's press release below. GM Unveils 'Let's Drive NYC' Car-Sharing Program NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Running an errand to a big box store or planning a weekend excursion are about to get easier for some Manhattan residents because of a car-sharing program revealed today by General Motors. It's the company's latest move to deliver urban mobility options to customers around the globe. Let's Drive NYC is available to eligible residents of The Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building at Times Square in midtown Manhattan, owned and managed by Stonehenge Partners. Residents use a GM-developed mobile app to reserve a vehicle and access parking in one of 200 garages throughout Manhattan managed by Icon Parking Systems. The fleet currently includes eight Chevrolet Trax small SUVs and two Chevrolet Equinox compact SUVs, with more vehicles to be added later.
Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
