1968 Chevy Caprice all original with matching numbers 396ci, 325hp engine and TD 400 Transmission
This is a sweet Caprice, I have had since 2005 and had been restoring until 2010. I am the second owner and car is an original Eastern Washington car, very dry. Started the restoration by sand blasting the whole vehicle down to bare metal, found some rust that needed repairing, replaced both lower quarter panels and patched both front fenders with all new metal. Then primer, body work and original Chevy red paint, base coat clear coat, buffed to glass finish. New windshield, original side and back glass and new vinyl top. interior was fully gone threw in all original color ways, new carpet, head liner, seats and cushions recovered. New dash pad and dash repainted. stereo was installed in glove box, with aux cable. Two ten inch MTX sub woofers, and 600 watt amp, sounds great and trunk and quarter panels are Dynamatted. Trunk is also fulling boxed in and carpeted to match sub box and inside of trunk lid, looks really clean and simple. 22" wire wheels have been installed and look sharp on this car, i really like the look and it turns heads although not for everyone, so I can offer original wheels, white walls and hub caps, please let me know if that is the way you like it before bidding. 22" wheels are in good shape with a couple small imperfections and chrome is not perfect. tires are good. Now for the Best thing ever!!! The all original never molested, never pulled out only tuned up and kept in tip top shape, the 396ci, 325 hp big block Chevy. This thing is a beast. never had a better sound more power or a better looking block. I love this engine and was the main reason I bought the car. Numbers all match and can be decoded in the pictures. Carburetor was rebuilt a little while ago and starts up and runs so smooth, no stall or delays. New radiator, and fluids and everything checked regularly. New battery was just installed, due to sitting for a while. new Magnaflow dual exhaust also installed and sounds perfect. I have spent a ton of time and energy to make this Caprice a head turning, fun, easy to own car. so many parts where purchased threw classic industries, including lights, interior parts, chrome belt moldings, metal replacement parts, and tons more. Lots of pictures, and documentation of the restoration. will include with sale. Thanks a ton for looking and happy bidding, any questions feel free to email. Ignore: slammed, bagged, body drop, chopped, 22's, 24's, 26's, air ride suspention, air bagged, dunk, low rider, rat rod, hot rod, classic, cruiser, 2 door, 60's, chevrolet. |

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
