1974 CHEVROLET CAPRICE CONVERTIBLE! A TRUE 454 CAR THAT IS LOADED WITH EVERY OPTION KNOWN TO MAN!

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:

  • Numbers matching 454 built to a 468

  • Power Windows

  • Power Top

  • Power Seat

  • Power Steering

  • Power Brakes

  • Tilt Steering

  • Air Conditioning

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

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Here's how the EcoCAR 3 teams are going to green up their Camaros

Tue, Nov 10 2015

Plug-in hybrids were probably not what the Dead Milkmen had in mind when they wrote their 1985 alt-punk classic Bitchin' Camaro (OK, we're not really sure what they had in mind), but we're certainly fans of the effort. The 16 college teams competing in the third version of the EcoCAR green-vehicle contest have declared which powertrains they will attempt to build for maximum environmental friendliness. They'll be working with 2016 Chevrolet Camaros that General Motors is donating to the competition. The US Department of Energy is also helping to fund the competition. Out of the 16, all but one will go with a plug-in hybrid powertrain which switches over from electric power to an engine powered by E85 (i.e., an 85-percent ethanol blend) when the juice runs out. Those schools include the University of Alabama, Arizona State, Mississippi State, Ohio State and Penn State. The lone dissenter is the team from the University of Tennessee, which is going with a hybrid vehicle powered by E10. This past spring, Ohio State was named winner of Year One of EcoCAR3, winning $10,000 in the process. THE Ohio State University (as students and alumni like to call it) also won the overall competition for EcoCAR 2 last year. The vehicle used in that project was a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, and OSU also used a plug-in hybrid/E85 combo to take the big prize. Take a look at the list of schools and their powertrains of choice for EcoCAR 3 here. Related Video:
