For Sale 1974 Caprice Classic Convertible
excellent condition to drive or show! (same body style as Impala)
Minimal effort to make showroom quality!
I have owned this car for close to ten years. It has been garaged all it's life and it shows. It still has the original top, a little worn around the edges but still soft, pliable, and by no means needs replaced. The back glass is actual glass, and the top functions very well. I live in South Central Illinois and use the car for vacationing. My wife and I have driven it to the California Coast, Las Vegas, and Florida several times. During a trip out west we had a blow out and dinged all 4 corners of the car. It has since been repaired to factory specs. This happened around 2005 the hood and the trunk lid were about the only thing that was not repainted. My wife and I prefer having a nice quiet vacation rather than an adventure so an undependable car would be out of the question. We have since drove the car to Florida 4 or 5 times. The car still drives, runs, shifts, and Handles as it should. I would not be afraid to jump in this car right now and drive it to anywhere in the Continental US. and back home. If you are the winning bidder keep in mind that you could fly in and drive it home. It is that dependable!
This car does get poor mileage any where from 11mpg to 15mpg at best are the results I have experienced.
I have modified a few things to make the car more user friendly.
Mods :
Air conditioner has been switched to the new freon
Electronic ignition
Distributor curved
Tilt Wheel
Dual exhaust all the way back
Rear Air shocks
Am Fm cd mp3 player Xm compatible
I did not keep the original parts except for the original steering column. I really do not wish to sell the car but, my wife asked if I would consider thinning out my toys.
So for ONE TIME ONLY!!!!! I will list this car.
I encourage anyone to come look at the Convertible before bidding if this is not possible please email me with questions. Do not assume anything, this is almost a 40 year old vehicle and I want your purchase to be a pleasant one with no regrets. If you're like me you'll always have buyers remorse. In the case of this car I have not regretted owning it one moment, and I paid a premium price for it.
If you do not have the means to purchase and maintain this vehicle I urge you not to bid, all bidders with a Feed back score less than 25 positive feedback at 100% must email me before bidding. Other wise I will be forced to decline your bid. I am also requesting a $200.00 nonrefundable payment to be made right at auction close, for listing fees. This will be applied to the balance at the time of purchase of the high bidder.
Please note the car is for sale locally also, so the auction can end at anytime.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
I will assist in anyway I can to help this process but do not assume anything, ask first. Also I do not wish to sell internationally.
The car will not be shipped or the title sent to the new owner until payment has cleared the bank. Cash always works best!
Thank You for taking the time to read the full auction description, if you have any questions or request more pictures please email me early in the auction. I may not be able to answer your request in the eleventh hour.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
