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

Malcolm Butler gets the MVP's Chevy Colorado
Wed, Feb 11 2015In the wake of the Super Bowl last week, we reported that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intended to give the Chevy Colorado awarded to him as the game's most valuable player to Malcolm Butler instead. In our informal poll (to say nothing of the hundred-plus comments that ensued), an overwhelming 86.7 percent of you, our loyal readers, agreed that it was the right thing to do. And now that's precisely what's happened. "After consulting Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady," the automaker said in the press release below, "Chevrolet presented an all-new Colorado pickup to New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler." The rookie, as you may have seen in between the commercials, made the game-saving interception that handed his team the victory, propelling Butler to stardom. "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado," said Butler upon taking delivery of his new red pickup. "It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." We can only imagine. Enjoy the truck, Malcolm; you've earned it.

The Colorado was intended to be awarded to Brady, the Patriots' quarterback, in recognition of his Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award. However, Brady and Chevrolet huddled on Monday and Chevrolet determined Butler deserved recognition for his game-saving interception. "I've seen several game-changing moments in big games, and Malcom's interception last Sunday ranks up there as one of the biggest," said Brady. "I appreciate Chevrolet wanting to honor the Super Bowl's top performer, and I'm glad they have agreed to award the Colorado to Malcolm." Said Butler: "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado. It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." The Chevrolet Colorado, 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year®, was engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and most technologically advanced midsize truck in the market. With class-leading horsepower and fuel economy along with a 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, the Colorado adds a new dimension to the Chevy truck line.
2018 Woodward Dream Cruise: What to know and where to go
Fri, Aug 17 2018If there's anything that proves Detroit's motor-oil-in-the-veins, gearhead bonafides, it's the annual Woodward Dream Cruise, which will bring an anticipated 1.5 million or so people from near and far, plus tens of thousands of classic and custom and just plain weird cars, to a 16-mile portion of Woodward Avenue on Saturday for the 24th year. Loved by gearheads, collectors and the merely curious, who see it as the Motor City's version of Mardi Gras, and loathed by others, who deride it as the world's largest traffic jam, the Dream Cruise is nothing if not an explosion for the senses. What will you see there? Well, as Autoblog Managing Editor Greg Rasa put it last year, "There are historic cars. And works of art. Some are worth vast sums of money, and some are rat rods and rust buckets. And some are bizarre creations that make you ask, 'What were they thinking?'" A few things are certain: You will see many incredible automobiles. There will be plenty of T-shirts and other merch, official and not-so-much. It will be crowded, and probably hot. The Cruise will officially go from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., though of course cruisers have been out already for weeks. And there are plenty of attractions, both on and off the pavement of Woodward. Tony Michaels, the Dream Cruise's executive director, said the event is special for the Detroit region. "Together we celebrate the automobile and what it has meant to us," he told Autoblog. "To see the these fantastic vehicles and the proud owners says so much about who we are and our pride. "People should take it in to see history running 16 miles down Woodward Avenue and to be a part of the greatest automobile event in America." Ford is once again serving as the Dream Cruise presenting sponsor and will hold the 20th anniversary of the Mustang Alley at the corner of Nine Mile and Woodward in Ferndale, where it expects as many as 1,000 Mustangs to line up. It will also show off its lineage of trucks at 13 Mile, along with several performance vehicles at Duggan's Irish Pub at 31501 Woodward in Royal Oak. The company on Thursday unveiled the 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet drag car to celebrate the nameplate's 50th anniversary. Just 68 examples are planned of the $130,000 limited-edition model Other Ford activities include: Sales of tickets for a raffle of a one-off Kona Blue Mustang Bullitt, starting at the media clubhouse at 2 p.m. Friday. The raffle itself takes place in November and will support juvenile diabetes research.
Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
