I have owned this car for almost 2 years and it sure turns heads! It's a rare '69 Caprice as it was built just like an Impala SS with its 427/390 engine with buckets seats, a console shift automatic, and rally wheels. It would only take a few SS emblems to turn it into a nice SS clone. This car drives like a dream with its 116" wheelbase. The car is equipped with PS, PB, PW, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, rear defogger, leather seats, and automatic climate control. The A/C compressor was replaced recently and the thermal vacuum switch needs to be replaced. The car was repainted and is in average condition. The blue vinyl roof is original and is faded. The front end was completely redone with new control arms and bushings and the engine was rebuilt according to the former owner. It runs very strong and does not have any leaks. The transmission shifts with no problems and is hooked up to a 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. Both mufflers are fairly new and are quiet giving the car its sleeper appearance even though there is plenty of power under the hood. People driving by always point to the 427 badges on the front fenders followed by a quick thumbs up. The leather interior is in very good condition and the back seat looks like its never been sat on. I can't say the engine is numbers matching because the numbers are too hard to read on the pad but every other code and date on the engine reflects it being correct for a '69. I recently replaced the windshield and power window master switch. The speedometer works as do the power windows and all interior lights. There is one idiot light that won't turn off. The intake # is 3931067, the block code is 3963512, and the engine pad # is T0525LC. That LC code is correct for a '69 Caprice with the 427/390 engine. I'm selling the car because I just bought a 2011 Vette and need the space in my garage. If you have any questions, call my cell - 515-782-0904.

GM issues stop-sale order for 2024 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups

Tue, Feb 20 2024

General Motors has issued a stop sale for the midsize 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and 2024 GMC Canyon pickups due to software problems, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday. The newspaper had previously reported that trucks were piling up in GM's Wentzville Assembly holding lot. Well, now we know why. As happened with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV late last year, the midsize pickups are grounded until further notice.Â While GM declined to reveal the nature of the software issues to the Free Press, we've seen the chaos inflicted by the company's current digital suite manifest in the Blazer's rocky launch. In some cases, those EVs were effectively bricked (whether permanently or temporarily) by glitches that plagued the infotainment. And because modern infotainment touches virtually every aspect of vehicle operation, what might sound like a trivial issue can quickly snowball.Â The Edmunds test vehicle produced "the single longest list of major faults" the outlet had ever seen.Â Some trucks have already shipped to dealers and will remain on hold there until serviced and released; it appears GM will continue to hold trucks at its Missouri production facility until they receive software updates to address the ongoing issues. GM did not provide a timetable for software fixes or the resumption of customer deliveries.Â Â Â Â
