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!

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. |

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
