PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Where to start? Second Owner. This vehicle has been in my possession since 1992. It was driven only from 1992-1994. My father passed away in 1993, and this was his vehicle so technically he passed it down to me/inherited. Since then it has been kept in a series of garages, most recently and presently in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 5mins north of Minneapolis,MN. The last time I drove the vehicle was the summer of 2010. This is also the last time I worked on the vehicle in attempt to get it driving. I just have not been fortunate enough to have the money to put in to it and it is unfortunate because with the right mechanic and just a few grand this car will be a treat for who ever is the owner. It is a restoration project. The exterior of the vehicle is steel, has only one minor dent in the front siding by the drivers headlight. It has rust but not major at all, minor spots on hood close to windshield. Very confident that the right mechanic can get it started and running today with some savvy know how and the current parts and a jump. This car is a steal, I just do not have the means. It also has sentimental value because it was my deceased fathers hence the reason I've held off selling it and another reason its been hard to part with/price. Honestly the car is in my family garage behind a few other vehicles so I have not been able to take any exterior photos, and the rear seat of the interior is filled with old tires from my families various vehicles so I was able to take pictures of the front seats and dash. Its a 2 door hardtop currently a light green, same as interior. This car is a boat, very long, sturdy, wide, strong. Its the perfect combo of american muscle mixed with west coast lowrider. Throughout the years Ive had many offers on the vehicles just from passers by when it was out in the yard back in 10' and even before then ever since, lots of family friends make offers but they dont stand on them so I am giving Ebay a shot. You can check as many listings and value charts that are out there. This car in its current shape is every bit worth what I am asking for it. I apologize for not having many photos or good photos at that but the body is original, if you search a 68' Caprice, its just a hassle for me to move two defunct vehicles that are blocking this one in. A rare vehicle, especially in the midwest. It is a full restoration project, but instead of starting out with a shell of a vehicle you get a basically complete vehicle that just needs love and care and matanince to the already car that it is. Has all seats, sidings for interior, had a cd deck in but still have original radio, airplane shifter in between the front seats, cruise control, there's a lot about the vehicle that is nice. Serious BUYERS YOUR INVITED INTO MY GARAGE TO COME AND SEE THE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PULL OUT UNTIL ALL SNOW IS GONE OR AT A MINIMUM HERE IN MN. HAVE NEVER HAD THE CAR SITTING OUTSIDE DURING ANY WINTER SINCE 1992 WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN. LIKE MANY YOULL BE ASKING ME FOR MORE PICTURES BUT HONESTLY WITH THE CONDITIONS UP HERE IN MINNESOTA I CANNOT PULL IT OUT OF THE GARAGE JUST TO TAKE PICTURES ITS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE FOR ME, WILL BE ABLE TO ONCE IT WARMS UP HOPEFULLY LATE MID-LATE MARCH AND ITS NOT SNOW STORMING. I DO APOLOGIZE I WAS HOPING TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE SNAPS OF IT IN THE GARAGE BUT ITS NOT A LITE GARAGE.
Completing the sale: Upon Sale, in person, Cash or Transfer into My account through PayPal You will have to come and retrieve the vehicle. Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55429 |

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network
Wed, Jan 14 2015Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs. Read more in the press release below. Bob Lutz to Announce Production Launch of the Electrified Chevy Silverado BY VIA Motors Media access to Bob Lutz, former Vice-Chairman of General Motors and father of the Chevy Volt Bob Lutz is now Chairman of VIA Motors who builds the "Volt Style" extended range electric drive system for the Silverado, the Express Van and is working on the SUV's (Tahoe, Suburban) 5 years in development.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
