I have a nice original survivor car from southern California. The car had been garaged since the fall of 1967 in the same garage for 45 years, one family owner. In 1990 the car was stored in that in that same garage til 2013 When I bought it. Between 1990 and 2002 the car had only been fired up and driven short distances to keep things lubed up... it only aquired 480 miles in that time frame.

1968 Chevy Caprice Coupe. 96,600 original miles. 275HP 327, TH400, Power steering, RARE power disc brakes, power windows, seat, trunk, working air conditioning, and cruise control, it has the special lighting group, and a AM/FM Multiplex Radio with front and rear speakers.

As with most cars that sit, it does present a few challenges, so I have replaced, the oil pressure switch, waterpump, heater hoses, belts, rebuilt the carb, tuned it, serviced the transmission and rear end, replaced, master cylinder, front calipers, front brakes (I have an extra NEW set btw, they are hard to find) rebuilt the rear wheel cylinders and replaced the rear brake shoes, replaced the shocks with monroe gas units, had an alignment, added a larger diameter front and rear sway bar, replaced the rear coild springs to get rid of the sag that they all have, I replaced the tires with 5 new P225/7015 Cooper Cobra tires. and added 2.5" dual exhaust from exhaust manifolds back with flow master mufflers. It still has all the T-3 headlights. Everything works as it should with the exception of the clock, and the radio. The radio turns on but cant get it to tune in. I Drove it back from Southern California to Washington state with no issues and have put nearly 11000 miles on it since August traveling around to car shows ect......Its a turn key car and draws a lot of attention.

Fly in and drive it home.

I have the original hubcaps, owners manual, window sticker, AM/FM Multiplex radio user instructions, keys, Black cali plates, and the factory gas cap was wrapped in a towel in the trunk.The large plastic front and rear floor mats from the 60s are still in the car as well and has protected the carpet nicely.

NOTE: I DO HAVE THE CAR LISTED LOCALLY...I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PULL AD AT ANYTIME.

If you have any questions about the car, you can email, text me or call directly @ 509-294-4571, Im not sure how much longer my phone will be turned on, so if you have questions, the sooner the better...

This is what hagerty values the base 68 caprice at... not including the rare options...

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
