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.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
