Offered up for your consideration is a 69 Caprice with what is believed to be the original numbers matching 427 big block....I have checked the block casting which ends with 270...I have a hard time trying to read the vin by the oil filter but all clamps and such look to be all original...I bought this online a few months ago...it came out of a barn in Vancouver Washington where it had been sitting for 20 plus years....My original plan was to pull the motor and tranny for my 69 camaro and part out the rest of the car......As my luck runs, the car is much nicer than I was originally led to believe..I bought it as a non runner...After some fresh gas and a little tinkering she now runs and drives....She does smoke a little when first started and is in desperate need of a tune up...She runs rough and has a miss but there are no knocks or pings....Since I can't see pulling such a nice car apart especially a numbers match car...I figured I would just pass it on and find another motor and tranny for my camaro.......IF SHE DOESN'T SELL I WILL PULL IT APART!!!!! I will offer the rolling shell for half of what I have it listed for if that doesn't work the it will be parts and pieces.....I would really prefer not to do that to such a nice car though...Now for details
The body is super solid with just a small hint of rust in the rear wheel wells, the rear seat is stained, the front bench has a small tear, the headliner has some small holes & the car is a bit musty from sitting so long..The a/c compressor seems to work but the blower motor doesn't blow..There is some slight surface rust on top of the front hood but no rot
The cragers have been sold but I have a really nice set of rally wheels which will go with the car.....If anyone wants to speak to me about it my cell is 631 949 7770 I will consider partial trades for items such as utility / car trailer, chevelle, camaro, may consider other NO BIKES!! let me know
Please note this vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty written or implied,,all funds must clear before car is released....any questions please call or email

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
