1968 Chevrolet Caprice Classic..very Nice! on 2040-cars
Mooresville, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for sale today is a 1968 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 door. This is my father in laws car and he is no longer able to enjoy it, as it should be enjoyed, due to some health issues. I will list all the facts I know about the car. It is in good condition given the age of the car. It is a 4 door without the post, which makes it look almost as cool as a 2 door. It shows 60839 miles on the odometer, but I can not say that is correct except the car is in REALLY NICE shape if it has 160839 miles on it. It is green with a newer black vinyl top and green cloth interior. It's powered by a 327/250 horse engine and has a Powerglide transmission and factory posi-traction rear end, with power brakes. The drive train is "numbers matching" to the best of our knowledge. It still has exhaust manifolds, the cables installed in case of a motor mount failure and correct carb. The water pump has been replaced as has the radiator and exhaust from the manifolds back. The engine seems to start and run fine. It is an older carb motor, so it can be fussy in the cold start up mode. Once it gets a bit of heat in it, it runs fine. The transmission seems to shift as it should. The brakes are fine and work as well as drum brakes should. The interior is in fair shape for its age. It has a nice headliner and dash. The steering wheel, which is a tilt steering wheel, has a crack and so does the dash pad. The gauge cluster looks nice. All the glass is in very nice clear condition. The rear package tray is "wavy" and could be replaced. The carpet is rescent but was not cut correctly on the driver side front. Door panels are reasonably clean except for some water stains due to windows left rolled down a bit. They may clean up. They don't appear to have gotten wavy yet. The window seals are cracked but not bad enough for the door panels to have gotten wet from them. It still has its original AM/FM radio, I don't know how well it works. The clock does not work, but how many did after the first year or so? Back seat has a water stains on both sides, but is in nice shape otherwise. Front seat needs to be recovered. It has torn in the seams, especially on the driver side. All seat belts are there and are original. The exterior has had a repaint a number of years ago. It just wasn't prepped right, because it is chipping in a few places near corners and moldings. There is a dent on the passenger front door. I don't know if it can be pulled out. I think it can. There is a chip on the front of the car. The only real obvious rust I can easily see is on the lower edge of the left rear quarter. The car came from Michigan, but was rust proofed when new and really has held up nicely for its age. I wasn't able to take pictures of the bottom of the car, but I have seen it a few months back and it looks sound. The trunk looks sound, but the seal may be starting to leak and should be replaced. I say a small amount of moisture when I took the pictures. I was going to pull the trunk mat for a couple of pictures, but it seemed to be stuck. I did not want to tear it up trying to pull it back. The spare tire is a bias ply tire. I don't know if it is original. All of the turn signals, headlights, high beams, interior lights and backup lights work as does the horn and key buzzer. The under hood and trunk light also work. The car rides on stock steel wheels with all four original hub caps and newer radial tires which seem to have good thread left. It is missing the right rear wheel well opening molding but the others are there. All the chrome seems descent, there again the car is about 46 years old!! As I said, the top was recently replaced and shows no signs of rust under it. All the stainless moldings look very nice for a old car and I believe them to be original. Most reproductions are very thin and flimsy. These seem pretty sturdy. Besides the power steering, power brakes and posi, it also has an AM/FM radio, under hood and trunk lights which still light up, tilt wheel. I have a bunch of pictures but can't post them all SO PLEASE ask any questions and ask for more pictures and I will try to answer any questions and get more pictures to you. There is a reserve and it also is available locally so I may end the auction early. If you win the auction, I need a $500.00 deposit made to my Pay Pal account and the balance made in cash within 14 days of the end of the auction unless you make arrangements with me. If the balance is made other than in cash, I will hold the car and title till all funds have cleared. I can work with you on shipping arrangements if needed, but all arrangements are up to the buyer. I have had previous interest by overseas buyers, but just don't feel comfortable with that....SORRY. Thanks. |

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts
Thu, Jun 19 2014As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.
