I have my ALL  ORIGINAL 1972 Caprice up for sale! I call this car "Papa Smurf" because of the original Blue w/White Vinyl Top color combination. I will start off by saying this is the car that you hear about people finding in barns, but never get lucky enough to find yourself until now!! I purchased this beautiful car from the original family that have owned this car since 1972, and bought brand new. I happened to be at the right place at the right time is the only reason I was lucky enough to get this car. I have the original dealer plate certificate/vehicle warranty to support what I'm saying'. I also have the original owners manual along with a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice/Impala options catalog. This car also has the original sun visors with complete instructions on how to start the car in hot or cold weather conditions, and I have never seen that on any of my other Chevrolets. I have owned several 70's model Caprice/Impalas, and this is by far the most beautiful, complete, and original one that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. This car had one re-paint back in 1990 to the original color, but it looks like it was just painted because this car has been garage kept since 1972! I also want to say that the car has been in storage every since I have owned it as you can see in the pics. This really was a lil ol' lady's car because that is who purchased and drove the car for the main majority of it's existance until she sadly passed away, and left it to her son which who sold it to me. He appeared to be in his late 60's to early 70's, by the way. This car comes with the 6.6L 402 Big Block which did not come standard with the car, and was a special order for the year so you are getting a rare Caprice. The 402 is basically a factory hotrod engine that started out as a 396 Big Block that was bored 0.30 over at the factory over making it a very powerful and strong 402 Big Block! The  transmission is a 350 Turbo Hydra-matic that shifts again around 70 m.p.h. This big thing just floats down the highway like a brand new car with lots of power when you need it! This car is missing NOTHING, and everything works. It has all the chrome trim, interior pieces, engine components, and even has the carpeted trunk w/ ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE and JACK! This is a numbers matching car that makes a huge difference to the collectors. This car is also equipped with the 4 Seasons Air Conditioning that's been already converted to R134, and works great. All new weather stripping has just been installed around the windows and doors making it air tight inside the car which makes a big difference as far as outside noise, and outside temperature getting in. Like I said this car is ALL ORIGINAL even down to the Original 8 Track Player that STILL WORKS. With this car you are getting something that's in it's pure form, and has not been stepped on by anyone! The engine has just been serviced with a detailed checkup and a fresh oil change. The car also has all new hoses under the hood. This car also already has rear air shocks installed. The exhaust leaks water when engine is running. If you know anything about cars then you know when a car leaks water that means the engine is running very cool and right. This car has a new master cylinder as well as a new radiator that was installed recently. Even the muffler that was replaced was replaced with an oem muffler instead of an aftermarket muffler to keep the car original. The seats are near perfect with the exception of the driver's seat having minor rips due to wear and tear with it being a 41 year old car. The rest of the seats are in excellent condition especially the back seat because it looks like nobody has ever sat in it. The headliner, sun tray, and dashboard(no cracks) are all in excellent shape! Even the woodgrain trim that's usually faded in these old cars is excellent, and the cigarette lighter still works after all these years. All the chrome is beautiful on the car with no rust, and it has the Deluxe Bumpers that come standard on the Caprice, but not on the Impala. The fuel guage works,and is very accurate due to the new fuel sending unit that's in the tank The car also has a new fuel pump. The Original White Vinyl top is also in excellent shape with no tears. The body is laser straight and has never had any bondo! The hood, trunk, and doors all shut as they did when the car was new and all line up with no gaps between the different body panels. Just look closely at the pics to see what I mean. This car is almost in showroom condition, and I personally have not seen none nicer in person. Whether you want to purchase this car to drive as is, or put the oversized wheels, and loud speakers in it you have a good start for either way. These old cars are becoming extinct like the dinosaurs, and to find one in this shape is very rare, and especially a 2 door hardtop! I have nothing to hide which is why I didn't cover up my license plate like other people, and I will say that the car does have very minor surface rust over the rear fender skirt on the driver's side, but no holes and NOT coming through the paint. If I wouldn't have told you then you probably would have never noticed.  I have been all over the internet looking at these cars for sale, and you are not gonna find one like this one that's in it's all original NUMBERS MATCHING condition for under 20k NOWHERE, so my Buy It Now price is a steal!! I'm sure you can find a 1972 cheaper, but by the time you hunt down and pay for all the missing parts, bodywork, and mechanical issues you are gonna wish you bought this one in the first place. If you want junk then I can't help you, but if you want a beautiful original  classic then here you go! .I realize that I will probably not find another 1972 Caprice in this shape that's affordable again, but my loss is your gain. You really have to see and drive this car in person to really appreciate the true beauty of it. I reserve the right to end this listing early due to the car being advertised locally also. Thanks for viewing my car/listing, and Happy Bidding!!

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

GM profit dips on truck changeover, but beats estimates

Thu, Apr 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors on Thursday reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit despite a drop in production of high-margin pickup trucks, as it gears up for new models that are expected to boost profits next year. Like rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, GM is banking on highly-profitable Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks to lift profits, as consumers shift away from traditional passenger cars in favor of these larger, more comfortable trucks, SUVs and crossovers. During the first quarter, the process of changing over to GM's new pickups resulted in a drop in production of 47,000 units. GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said the production drop had resulted in a drop in pre-tax profit of up to $800 million. Earlier this year, GM said its 2018 profits would be flat compared with 2017, but expected its all-new pickup trucks would boost margins starting in 2019. On Thursday, GM reiterated its full-year 2018 forecast for adjusted earnings in a range from $6.30 to $6.60 per share. The automaker said capital expenditures were more than $500 million higher in the quarter because of investments its new pickup trucks and a family of low-cost vehicles under development with Chinese partner SAIC Motor Corp. On Wednesday, rival Ford said it would stop investing in most traditional passenger sedans in North America. CFO Stevens told reporters on Thursday that GM has "already indicated that we will make significantly lower investments on a go-forward basis" in sedans. 2019 GMC Sierra View 21 Photos GM benefited from a lower effective tax rate in the quarter, but adjusted pre-tax margin fell to 7.2 percent from 9.5 percent a year earlier. Stevens said the company's profit margin should hit 10 percent or higher in the second quarter and for the full year. GM said material costs were $700 million higher in the first quarter, and it expects those costs to continue rising. The automaker said it would counter those increases with cost cutting measures. "It is a more difficult environment than it was three or four months ago," Stevens said when asked about rising commodity prices from potential steel and aluminum tariffs announced by the Trump administration. "But we are confident we can continue to offset that." The company reported quarterly net income of $1.05 billion or $1.43 per share, a drop of nearly 60 percent from $2.61 billion or $1.75 per share a year earlier. Analysts had on average expected earnings per share of $1.24.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
