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...

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Chevrolet planning new crossover between Equinox and Traverse

Wed, Jul 22 2015

Chevrolet is taking a crowbar to its crossover lineup so it can slide in a new entry between the Equinox (shown) and the Traverse, according to a report in Automotive News. The current Equinox, a tweener compared to its rivals, will get smaller when the next-generation vehicle moves to the Delta platform that underpins the Chevrolet Cruze. The next Traverse will remain full-size, the liberated space between it and the smaller Equinox making room for a fourth offering from the brand. Designed on a short-wheelbase version of the Traverse platform, AN's sources say it will offer three-row seating, and its architecture will also serve the Cadillac SRX successor, the XT5, and the redesigned GMC Acadia. Yes, the Acadia will also come down a notch in size. Once all the rationalizing is complete, the Trax, Equinox, new crossover, and Traverse would give consumers a quicker, easier way to compare size and features with the competition. As it stands, the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander are all larger than the Equinox. The future offering and its two- and three-row seating options would take clear aim at those four vehicles, and the Equinox could focus on the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Jeep Cherokee segment. The new Chevy is predicted to go on sale at the end of next year as a 2018 model. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2015 Chevrolet Equinox View 14 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub. req.
