Gorgeous Unrestored 1975 Chevy Caprice Classic on 2040-cars
West Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
|
Offered from my collection is a beautiful unrestored 1975 Chevy Caprice Classic convertible with its original 454 cubic inch engine in the color combination of red exterior, white interior and white convertible top which turns heads everywhere. Only 8360 of these vehicles were manufactured and of those, GM estimates only 700 were equipped with the top of the line 454 engine. The car runs excellent and floats down the road. Does not burn a drop of oil. For a 40+ year old convertible it is nice and tight without all the annoying squeaks and rattles normally found in drop tops. The car is fully loaded with power steering, power brakes, power window’s, power door locks, air- conditioning, tilt wheel, power trunk release and lots more (See pic). The exhaust is new, the undercarriage is as clean as the rest of the vehicle and the tires have less than a thousand (1000) miles on them. New hood insulation. The interior is original and in outstanding condition. The seats do not have a spot on them and there are no rips or tears. All of the gauges, badges, knobs and buttons are original and everything works except the cruise control. The carpet and dash pad cover are new. The top is power with a glass window and works perfectly with no leaks whatsoever. The car is nice and straight, there are no dings, no dents and no bondo. The paint has been touched up where needed but there is still plenty of original paint on it. The bumpers are the originals and along with the rest of the exterior chrome are in excellent condition…no pitting and no rust. The chrome side mirrors are also in great shape with only minor pitting. This vehicle is an outstanding example of this, the last of the full size convertibles and I would have to believe it is one of the nicest unrestored examples around. You can drive it right now to a show and win a trophy without spending a dime on it. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS AND PAYMENT IN FULL WITHIN 7 DAYS. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
