This is a very original '69 Caprice that is equipped much like an Impala SS because it has bucket seats, automatic with console shift, and the 427/390 engine. It drives like a dream as the engine was overhauled according to the classic car dealer I purchased it from. The front end has been rebuilt with new upper and lower control arms and idler arms. The front and rear leather seats are original and in excellent condition. It has head rests but one needs to be recovered and I have the material. The car is loaded with power brakes, windows, and locks as well as rear defroster. and AM/FM radio. The speedometer does not work at this time. The body is super straight and in great condition with no rust as it spent its life in the northwest. The car has been repainted but it is an average paint job. The vinyl roof is in good shape but it is faded. The engine code matches a '69 427 engine and all the block dates and stampings are correct for the car but the engine VIN is too hard to read so I can't say that it's matching numbers. The engine is very strong and pulls hard. It's nice to have that 427 Corvette engine under the hood. It has a 12 bolt rear end, dual exhausts with nearly new mufflers, and rally wheels. I replaced the A/C compressor and recharged the system but the car still needs a thermal vacuum switch to operate the automatic climate control system and get the air into the car. The windshield has been replaced and the rest of the glass is in very good condition. This car really turns heads! You can reach me at five one five seven eight two zero nine zero four if you have questions.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
