1972 Chevrolet Caprice Original Survivor Impala on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
1972 Chevrolet Caprice 2 door hardtop. An above average condition, original car. It has a little under 63,000 actual miles. I bought it from the original owner’s family last winter. It is truly a small town Nebraska barn find. An original car, in hard to find condition. Has a clear Nebraska title.
The engine is a 400 big block 4 barrel. Known as the “402”. It has an automatic transmission. Air, tilt wheel and AM radio. As well as power steering and power brakes.
The car runs and drives beautifully. In about 1994, after the fathers’ death, the car was pulled from storage and had over $4000.00 spent on it to get it running. A new timing chain was installed as well as the following: Intake gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket. All oil and fluids were drained and refilled. The transmission was serviced with new fluid, filter, gasket. The rear end (non posi), has new fluid and gasket. There are no oil leaks. The gas tank was replaced with another used one. Carb worked on and fuel filter replaced. Brakes checked and repaired as needed. That was in ’94. I went thru the fuel system again. I Cleaned the carb, pulled and redone the gas tank professionally, and put in a new fuel filter. Replaced the fuel pump and installed a new muffler.
The paint on the car is considered a 20 footer. Looks great, but upon close inspection there are chips and small dings. The worst chips are located on the front header panel and around the headlights. There are some paint imperfections not showing well in the pictures. Look closely. But...overall real nice car. The trunk floor and underbody are very solid. There is significant road rash from gravel roads down low behind the wheels. There is a rust area in front of the driver side rear wheel way down low. Very little to no rust everywhere else. Paint appears to be mostly original with some work done over the years, never wrecked!
The interior is the strong point. The seats, carpet, dash are all very nice. The door panels are perfect with the exception of the drivers door plastic that faded more than the passenger side. But still very nice. The dash pad is perfect. No cracking in the speaker area at all! Never smoked in and the lighter and ashtray are perfect. All gages work properly.
The AM radio does not work. The tires are old. The A/C doesn’t work however the compressor clutch is not locked up. A charge should do it. I don’t have any r12 refridgerent. The brakes are power but they feel manual. I think maybe the power booster or the plastic check valve need replaced. At night with the headlights on I smell a bit of burning?? Maybe just a fluke? Or a short in the headlight system. However the lights work just fine. Remember, this car sat a long time. There is no mice or rodent smell or damage anywhere that I can see. I’m sure the car needs things that I’m not aware of, or things you just might want to do on your own. This is a heck of a nice good running car but is sold “AS IS”. Its 42 years old. I maybe a bit critical in my description, but I feel you can never have too much information in dealing on the internet. My feedback is perfect and I describe all my items accurately.
Again the
car is sold as is. Please have funds available when bidding. No or low feedback
members must contact me BEFORE bidding, or I WILL CANCEL your bid. Bidders that
feel the need to retract bids, please go on to the next car. This ad is costing
me money. Shipping is up to the winning bidder. I will assist as much as I can.
Thanks and good luck! You should love this original survivor type car! Bernie

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
