1966 Chevrolet Caprice 9 passenger wagon that's an all orignal Southern CA black plate car that I purchased a few years back in San Diego. This is an incredible original car with several after market items installed by the original lady owner. I bought the car from a guy who I believe purchased from the original owner when she gave up driving. I have a ton of receipts that go with the car, as well as, the orignal owners manual and Pro-Tecto-Plate. This is one of four 1966 Caprice wagons that I have owned. I decided I wanted one and I kept buying them till I found this one. The other three were either too far gone and were parted out or sold. I held onto this one because it was by far the nicest original Caprice wagon I'd found. But I've had my fun owning it and now I need to let it go.
Car is equipped with a 325HP V8, TH 400 transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows at all doors and tailgate, Four Season AC, Tilt-Telescopic steering, AM radio, roof rack, rear window wind deflector. Aftermarket items installed by the previous owner are cruise control, temp and oil gauges, and an "altimeter". All the options work well except the AM radio and teh AC needs to be charged.The car runs and drives great. It does use oil but I don't drive it much so I can guestimate how much. But it doesn't smoke nor does it leave large puddles on the ground. Brakes work great and it has new tires. Registration is current through FEB 2015. It had the original front bench seat when I bought the car and all the interior was original too. I acquired a Strato-bench seat from a 1966 Caprice 4 door hardtop, purchased the correct Madrid grain vinyls and had the seat restored and installed. Yes, it looks factory. The second seat was recovered at the same time but I left the third seat. It has the optional carpeted cargo area with stainless trim. I've installed new green carpet on the floors and the tailgate. I have enough carpet left to finish the cargo area and I have all of the original stainless trim that was on the cargo bed. All that needs to be done is lay the carpet and install the trim. It also needs a new headliner and sunvisors. I believe I have a correct headliner kit for the car and (if I find it) it will come with the car. The door panels are in excellent shape but, when I bought the vinyl for the seats, I also had a set of door panels restored because I was concerned the old panels wouldn't look good against the seats. But they don't look bad so the new owner gets a spare set of door panels included. I also had the armrest bases re chromed.-they're not repops, you can't even buy re-pop rear armrests for the 65-67 Caprice or Impala yet. The original instrument panel is in really nice shape but the dash pad is shot. Therefore I am including a correct dark green new dash pad the new owner can install. Car also comes with original GM green floor mats in the front, rear and in the third row seat-all in great shape. Seat belts are also original but have not yet been re installed-they will come with the car. I also had all of the side panels in the cargo area reupholstered in the correct matching green vinyl, and there is extrea vinyl that comes with the car. The exterior is in very good shape considering its age. There's a small dent on the passenger front fender, and 40 plus years of nicks and chips and maybe a few small dings in the paint and body. The floors are rock solid, the third seat floor has surface rust that needs cleaning up before painting but there's no rust through. The anodized aluminum is faded and oxydized and the orignal vinyl wood grain trim is long gone. I am also including an NOS woodgrain panel that mounts on the tailgate. I think the paint would buff out nice if someone took their time with it, but it would take a fresh coat of Willow Green and new woodgrain to really do it justice. Please feel free to ask questions or if you needs pics of a specific area. Thanks for looking! |

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago
Thu, Feb 12 2015It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
