Original 1966 Chevy Caprice 283, 3 on the tree! First year of the Caprice! Texas body original. Three speed standard on the column! Rare Aztec Brown on Aztec Brown color, see the vinyl, top nice. This car has literally been in a time capsule since the 80's when it was put in dry storage! It is as original and untouched as they come. See some light rust around rear wheels. The trunk, frame, and floors solid. It has a 283, three on the tree, with 88,000 original miles. Was brought out of storage and a new clutch, alternator, battery, and all the little things to make it run like new were professionally installed. We have put over 200 miles on it since all the work was done and it is a true firm, quiet, vintage, cruiser , we went over 100 miles at 70 mph plus. There are no fluid drips, or funny noises no smoke white or black coming out of the very quiet exhaust, it can be driven off the lot to anywhere in the country without a doubt. Radio and clock does not work and blinkers have to be used by hand up and down to flash. All the lights work otherwise. Needs a latch for the middle front seat console. It has original paint, interior, everything as this 1 owner car originally came with, see door jams and interior! Headliner tight with one small quarter size hole. Dash a couple of splits, really not bad, drivers side windshield has a crack running down it on far left. Its not perfect, but it is pretty nice, see pics and ask questions. Great car to frame off restore or just drive it like it is this summer and restore it as a winter project, we recently took this on a 100 mile test run at speeds up to 80mph, no mechanical issues whatsoever! Note: $200 down payment required within 24 hours of auction close, balance due within 1 week. |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
