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. |

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
