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

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox

Mon, Jan 9 2017

Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars

Fri, Oct 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.
