For Sale 1974 Caprice Classic Convertible

excellent condition to drive or show! (same body style as Impala) 

 Minimal effort to make showroom quality!

I have owned this car for close to ten years.  It has been garaged all it's life and it shows.  It still has the original top, a little worn around the edges but still soft, pliable, and by no means needs replaced.  The back glass is actual glass, and the top functions very well.  I live in South Central Illinois and use the car for vacationing.  My wife and I have driven it to the California Coast, Las Vegas, and Florida several times.  During a trip out west we had a blow out and dinged all 4 corners of the car.  It has since been repaired to factory specs.  This happened around 2005 the hood and the trunk lid were about the only thing that was not repainted.   My wife and I prefer having a nice quiet vacation rather than an adventure so an undependable car would be out of the question.  We have since drove the car to Florida 4 or 5 times.  The car still drives, runs, shifts, and Handles as it should.  I would not be afraid to jump in this car right now and drive it to anywhere in the Continental US. and back home.  If you are the winning bidder keep in mind that you could fly in and drive it home.  It is that dependable!

     

    This car does get poor mileage any where from 11mpg to 15mpg at best are the results I have experienced.

 

I have modified a few things to make the car more user friendly.

 Mods :

Air conditioner has been switched to the new freon

Electronic ignition

Distributor curved

Tilt Wheel

Dual exhaust all the way back

Rear Air shocks

Am Fm cd mp3 player Xm compatible

 

 

I did not keep the original parts except for the original steering column.  I really do not wish to sell the car but, my wife asked if I would consider thinning out my toys.

So for ONE TIME ONLY!!!!! I will list this car.

I encourage anyone to come look at the Convertible before bidding if this is not possible please email me with questions. Do not assume anything, this is almost a 40 year old vehicle and I want your purchase to be a pleasant one with no regrets.   If you're like me you'll always have buyers remorse.  In the case of this car I have not regretted owning it one moment, and I paid a premium price for it.

If you do not have the means to purchase and maintain this vehicle I urge you not to bid, all bidders with a Feed back score less than 25 positive feedback at 100% must email me before bidding.  Other wise I will be forced to decline your bid.    I am also requesting a $200.00 nonrefundable payment to be made right at auction close, for listing fees.  This will be applied to the balance at the time of purchase of the high bidder.

 

  Please note the car is for sale locally also, so the auction can end at anytime.

 

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

  I will assist in anyway I can to help this process but do not assume anything, ask first.  Also I do not wish to sell internationally.

   The car will not be shipped or the title sent to the new owner until payment has cleared the bank.  Cash always works best!

  Thank You for taking the time to read the full auction description,  if you have any questions or request more pictures please email me early in the auction.  I may not be able to answer your request in the eleventh hour.

GM says its electric pickup truck is 'in development'

Thu, Jun 6 2019

GM President Mark Reuss just reiterated the company's support for an electric pickup project. He also claimed that GM is going to be selling its future electric cars at "very average transaction prices" during the same conference with Wall Street analysts. Previously, Mary Barra informed the world of GM's electric pickup truck aspirations, but didn't tell us anything else. Reuss says the truck is already in development, though, according to a Wards Auto report. "We will have a complete electric lineup, including a pickup truck that's in development," Reuss said. This comment marks the second time GM has gone on the record about its intentions to bring an electric pickup to market. Additionally, Reuss said GM's third-generation global EV platform will be used to help develop the electric pickup. This platform was recently announced to underpin at least 20 new EVs from GM in the future — the platform itself is slated to be unveiled in 2021. Of course, this platform will be flexible and modular to allow various body styles to be used with it, a truck being one of those. Reuss still hasn't said what GM brand the pickup will be sold under, or what class of truck it will be. GM thinks this new platform is also going to be what helps it drive down the cost of building EVs. "We'll reach parity a lot sooner than people think," Reuss said comparing EVs to traditional gas-powered engines. "We're driving down the cost of batteries and the whole EV in general." As for electric pickups, Ford is also deep in development of its own electric F-150. However, neither of these truck projects have official timelines on them, so we can't say when they'll hit the market. For now, the cross-town rivals are both in development with their respective electric pickups. Even further across town is Rivian (in which Ford just invested half a billion dollars), a company that says its electric R1T pickup is right around the corner, with the official due date being end of 2020 for the time being.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues

Thu, Sep 13 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:
