1974 CHEVROLET CAPRICE CONVERTIBLE! NUMBERS MATCHING AND LOADED WITH EVERY OPTION YOU CAN IMAGINE! RUST FREE, STRAIGHT, AND TURN KEY! This Caprice is an original factory 454 big block car that came loaded with every option you can imagine. This Convertible has rarely seen the light of day so it still retains the majority of its original sheet metal. All of which is exceptionally solid and rust free. It has gone through brief restorations over the years such as being stripped and painted 6-7 years ago. Last year, the original numbers matching motor was pulled and professionally built in to a power house 468! As it sits today, you could hop in her and drive her anywhere. List of options:
Body: The body on this Caprice is extremely straight. The underside of this Caprice really tell the story of how pampered this car has been its entire life. As you will see, it still has all of its factory under coating and it is exceptionally solid. The frame, floor pans, trunk, they are completely solid. There are no rust holes, no pin size holes, nothing, it is just completely solid. Approximately 6-7 years ago, the entire car was stripped and repainted professionally by a gentleman who wanted to build a one of a kind show car. The paint on the car today, still shows very well. There is no trash, spider webbing, cracks, nor orange peel. It has been driven so it does have its share of minor rock chips but nothing extreme. The Caprice still retains its original bumpers, trim, and emblems. All of which are in excellent shape and show very well. The suspension on the Caprice was also gone through at the time that it was painted. All of it was replaced with new components and when you drive it, you will feel it first hand. She soars down the road with no problems. The vinyl top on the car was also replaced. It too is of excellent quality and condition. The back window that is now in the car is glass, not the cheap and ever decaying plastic that you typically find in them. The Caprice does sit on a high dollar set of Lexani 26's. The wheels and tires alone cost over $5,000. They were also professionally painted to match the car and they have approximately the same mileage on them as the engine which is under a thousand miles. Engine & Mechanical: Last year, the original 454 was pulled from the Caprice and completely rebuilt by a professional speed shop here in Kansas City. The production sequence is still on the pad on the front of the motor. The motor was bored and built to a 468 which has a tremendous amount of power. Everything within and outside of the motor is brand new with less than a thousand miles on the whole thing. It does not smoke nor leak any oil. The 400 transmission was also pulled and rebuilt. It too has less than a thousand miles on it and it functions perfectly. It does not slip nor leak any fluid. As you will see within the photos located below that the Caprice has a new set of Ceramic coated headers and that the exhaust is also brand new which sounds surreal. You can feel the Earth shake below you as she cruises by. All of the electrical components on the Caprice are in good working order. Everything works! The windshield wiper setup, all four of the power windows, the power top, turn signals, tail lights, head lights, dash lights, everything within the instrument panel, EVERYTHING is in excellent working order. The only thing that is not installed on this Caprice is the AC. Which we do have everything to put it back together. Interior: The interior within the Caprice is just like the body and underside of the car, it tells a story which I could never properly put in to words. Everything that you see within the interior is all original and is in good shape. The only thing that needs fixed is the front bench seat which is being done as this auction runs. It has several spots where the stitching came undone. The back seat has no problems nor do the front and rear door panels. The carpet is still in excellent condition as is the dash pad. There are no cracks nor fades within the dash pad. It is Summer and Convertible season is upon us! So do it right with this turn key Caprice that is only destined to mature in its value. I can tell you that to find a car that is this unmolested is rarity in its own and to build one to where this one is at today, you would easily spend twice as much as what we are asking. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Caprice early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. I do have a clear title for this Caprice. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351

Chevrolet planning new crossover between Equinox and Traverse
Wed, Jul 22 2015Chevrolet is taking a crowbar to its crossover lineup so it can slide in a new entry between the Equinox (shown) and the Traverse, according to a report in Automotive News. The current Equinox, a tweener compared to its rivals, will get smaller when the next-generation vehicle moves to the Delta platform that underpins the Chevrolet Cruze. The next Traverse will remain full-size, the liberated space between it and the smaller Equinox making room for a fourth offering from the brand. Designed on a short-wheelbase version of the Traverse platform, AN's sources say it will offer three-row seating, and its architecture will also serve the Cadillac SRX successor, the XT5, and the redesigned GMC Acadia. Yes, the Acadia will also come down a notch in size. Once all the rationalizing is complete, the Trax, Equinox, new crossover, and Traverse would give consumers a quicker, easier way to compare size and features with the competition. As it stands, the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander are all larger than the Equinox. The future offering and its two- and three-row seating options would take clear aim at those four vehicles, and the Equinox could focus on the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Jeep Cherokee segment. The new Chevy is predicted to go on sale at the end of next year as a 2018 model. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2015 Chevrolet Equinox View 14 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub. req.

2023 GM full-size SUVs get Super Cruise expansion pack first
Mon, Nov 14 2022In August, GM announced it had doubled the size of the network of roads available to its Super Cruise hands-free driving feature. Joining the options list in 2017, Super Cruise had been limited to divided interstate highways in the U.S. and Canada. The expansion opened 200,000 miles of additional divided interstate highway as well as major, undivided highways. Both coasts benefit, but there will be a lot more relaxing motoring on the East Coast especially. North of the border, six of the 10 Canadian provinces add enabled roads. Problem is, no GM vehicles have been able to take advantage of the boon. That changes this month, the automaker saying four of its full-size SUVs in specific trims are first in line to make use of the expansion. The SUVs are: 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier and High Country 2023 Chevrolet Suburban Premier and High Country 2023 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade-V 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate The vehicles need to have been built on or after October 3, 2022, a production timeline GM says should put the first examples in customer hands this month. The least expensive way to get into Super Cruise is with the two-wheel drive, $77,625 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier with the 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel and the Advanced Technology Package. Vehicles that use the GM's Vehicle Intelligence Platform electrical architecture and already have Super Cruise will receive an over-the-air update "in the coming months" to access the new roads, at no cost to owners. Since other products like the Cadillac CT4 and CT5, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra work with the VIP platform as well, they probably aren't far away from the extra capability and they'll bring a lower financial bar to entry.

2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2019 Ram 1500 vs. 2018 Ford F-150: How they compare
Mon, Jan 15 2018The full-size pickup truck market is seriously hot right now. Both Ram and Chevrolet have introduced completely redesigned trucks, the 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2019 Chevy Silverado, and as the companies slowly roll each one out, more and more information comes to light. We've put together this comparison post to help you keep track of all the features and specifications of each of these new models, along with the updated 2018 Ford F-150. Among the stats we'll take a look at are engines, power, fuel economy, trim levels, weight and more. Weight savings Both the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 have gone on a diet for the new model year, similar to the one the F-150 went on in 2015. The Silverado is the weight-loss leader, having shed 450 pounds when comparing quad-cab V8 models. The Ram 1500 lost 225 pounds compared to the current truck. Both trucks achieve their weight loss in part due to the use of aluminum parts. On the Silverado, the hood, doors, and tailgate are aluminum, while on the Ram, just the hood and tailgate are aluminum on the body. Compare that to the F-150, which uses aluminum for all exterior body panels for a total weight loss of up to 732 pounds, which makes the aluminum-intensive F-150 the weight-loss leader. View 160 Photos Engines and transmissions There's only a bit of overlap in powertrains on the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. Each has a V8 for the top engine. The Ram's is a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 making 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The Silverado will once again use a 6.2-liter V8 as its range topper with the same 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque as the current model. Both of these V8s boast some extra fuel saving technology. The Chevy's 6.2-liter (and some 5.3-liters) comes with the company's latest cylinder deactivation system that can shut off any or nearly all of the eight cylinders. The Ram's V8 boasts an optional 48-volt mild-hybrid system that, in addition to likely helping fuel economy, can provide up to 130 pound-feet of torque right off the line. With the Ram, fuel economy sees an improvement of 2 mpg in the city and combined ratings for 17 and 19 respectively. Highway fuel economy improves by 1 mpg to 23 with two-wheel drive and 22 with four-wheel drive. The Silverado's 6.2-liter V8 only improves city fuel economy by 1 mpg to 16, and actually loses 1 mpg on the highway. The new 5.3-liter engine with the fancy cylinder deactivation does see an improvement over the simpler version.
