1972 Chevrolet Caprice Original Survivor Impala on 2040-cars
Year:1972
Mileage:63000
Location:
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
1972 Chevrolet Caprice 2 door hardtop. An above average condition, original car. It has a little under 63,000 actual miles. I bought it from the original owner’s family last winter. It is truly a small town Nebraska barn find. An original car, in hard to find condition. Has a clear Nebraska title.
The engine is a 400 big block 4 barrel. Known as the “402”. It has an automatic transmission. Air, tilt wheel and AM radio. As well as power steering and power brakes.
The car runs and drives beautifully. In about 1994, after the fathers’ death, the car was pulled from storage and had over $4000.00 spent on it to get it running. A new timing chain was installed as well as the following: Intake gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket. All oil and fluids were drained and refilled. The transmission was serviced with new fluid, filter, gasket. The rear end (non posi), has new fluid and gasket. There are no oil leaks. The gas tank was replaced with another used one. Carb worked on and fuel filter replaced. Brakes checked and repaired as needed. That was in ’94. I went thru the fuel system again. I Cleaned the carb, pulled and redone the gas tank professionally, and put in a new fuel filter. Replaced the fuel pump and installed a new muffler.
The paint on the car is considered a 20 footer. Looks great, but upon close inspection there are chips and small dings. The worst chips are located on the front header panel and around the headlights. There are some paint imperfections not showing well in the pictures. Look closely. But...overall real nice car. The trunk floor and underbody are very solid. There is significant road rash from gravel roads down low behind the wheels. There is a rust area in front of the driver side rear wheel way down low. Very little to no rust everywhere else. Paint appears to be mostly original with some work done over the years, never wrecked!
The interior is the strong point. The seats, carpet, dash are all very nice. The door panels are perfect with the exception of the drivers door plastic that faded more than the passenger side. But still very nice. The dash pad is perfect. No cracking in the speaker area at all! Never smoked in and the lighter and ashtray are perfect. All gages work properly.
The AM radio does not work. The tires are old. The A/C doesn’t work however the compressor clutch is not locked up. A charge should do it. I don’t have any r12 refridgerent. The brakes are power but they feel manual. I think maybe the power booster or the plastic check valve need replaced. At night with the headlights on I smell a bit of burning?? Maybe just a fluke? Or a short in the headlight system. However the lights work just fine. Remember, this car sat a long time. There is no mice or rodent smell or damage anywhere that I can see. I’m sure the car needs things that I’m not aware of, or things you just might want to do on your own. This is a heck of a nice good running car but is sold “AS IS”. Its 42 years old. I maybe a bit critical in my description, but I feel you can never have too much information in dealing on the internet. My feedback is perfect and I describe all my items accurately.
Again the
car is sold as is. Please have funds available when bidding. No or low feedback
members must contact me BEFORE bidding, or I WILL CANCEL your bid. Bidders that
feel the need to retract bids, please go on to the next car. This ad is costing
me money. Shipping is up to the winning bidder. I will assist as much as I can.
Thanks and good luck! You should love this original survivor type car! Bernie

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
