 1966 CHEVY CAPRICE 2 DOOR COUPE

283 / V-8 ~ 2 BARREL CARB ~ AUTOMATIC POWER-GLIDE TRANSMISSION
BRAND NEW WALKER DUAL EXHAUST ~ NEW FAN BELT~ NEW BATTERY
NEW FRONT BRAKES AND WHEEL CYLINDERS
REAR  BRAKES GOOD AND 4 NEW TIRES. (200 miles on them)
NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ~ FRESH TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE

THIS CAR SHOWS 16,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A MAN WHO HAD BOUGHT IT FROM AN ESTATE.
 HE "ASSUMED" IT WAS 116,000 DUE TO THE CARS AGE. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING WORKED ON IT AND EXAMINING IT FURTHER, I BELIEVE IT MAY ACTUALLY BE ONLY 16,000 MILES. THESE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS I BELIEVE THAT.

*THE SPARK PLUG WIRES ARE STAMPED "DELCO", WHICH WAS GM'S WIRES USED IN THE 1966 TIME PERIOD.

* THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NO WEAR AT ALL, NOR DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE WEAR FROM SWITCHING FROM BRAKE TO GAS.

* THE FRONT SEAT "PIPING" AROUND THE SEAT BACK WHERE YOU WOULD GET IN AND GET OUT HAS NO WEAR, NOR DOES THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARMREST OR DOOR PANEL TOP.

* THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS ARE IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAT HAS LITTLE WEAR.

* THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, BOOKLETS, AND "PROTECT-O-PLATE" (VERY RARE) ARE STILL WITH THE CAR.

*THE ORIGINAL 4 RIMS AND 4 FACTORY HUBCAPS ARE IN THE TRUNK IN GREAT CONDITION. NO DENTS OR DINGS ON WHEEL COVERS

*THE HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE IN THE CAR ARE "T-3"'S AND ARE DATE CODED 1965.

*THE BATTERY CLAMP IS STILL AN ORIGINAL 1966 STYLE SPRING CLAMP.

I AM TOLD THIS CAR SAT IN A GARAGE FOR MANY YEARS, (Last inspected 1984), HOWEVER FOR ABOUT THE PAST 7 YEARS IT SAT OUTSIDE, THUS THE TOP SURFACE RUST. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A NICE PAINT JOB AND SOME OTHER MINOR ISSUES TO BRING BACK TO HER ORIGINAL GLORY.

THE CAR ALSO COMES WITH ITS 4 ORIGINAL STEEL RIMS AS WELL AS ITS 4 WHEEL COVERS THAT ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (NO DINGS!) PROTECT-PLATE AND MANUALS INCLUDED.

THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE IN THE CARB BUT IS AN EASY FIX. THERE ARE TWO SPOTS IN THE TRUNK THAT NEED ATTENTION AS WELL. (SEE PHOTOS)

THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME , INNER AND OUTER ROCKERS, ARE SOLID. ALL ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS AND ARE SOLID AS WELL.....NO PATCHES!. THE FACTORY RADIO IS IN TACT BUT IS NOT WORKING. SURFACE RUST ON ROOF, HOOD AND TRUNK.

THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER(VERY SMALL TEAR) AND REAR SEAT LOOK AWESOME.
FRONT SEAT MATERIAL INSERTS NEED ATTENTION BUT THE VINYL PART OF THE SEAT IS LIKE NEW. A REAL NICE CLASSIC/ANTIQUE THAT CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED "AS IS" OR WHILE YOU ARE FIXING HER UP.

THE CARBURETOR NEEDS A REBUILD AS THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE ENGINE IT SMOKED. I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND ADDED A QUART OF MARVEL MYSTERY OIL TO SOFTEN UP THE VALVE GUIDE SEALS ETC. THE CAR BARELY SMOKES AT ALL BUT AT TIMES THERE IS SOME WHEN FIRST STARTING. I BELIEVE THAT AS IT IS DRIVEN IT WILL CLEAR UP COMPLETELY.. THERE IS SURFACE RUST ON THE ROOF AND SOME OF THE HOOD. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUST STARTING AROUND REAR WINDOW.

THE TWO TRUNK CORNERS ARE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION. SEE PHOTO. THEY DO SELL THE PANELS FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS A COMMON AREA FOR RUST IN THESE CARS. AGAIN...ALL FLOOR PANS ARE ORIGINAL AND SOLID.
BUMPERS AND GRILLE ARE STRAIGHT AND CLEAN.  I CHECKED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE GOOD AS ARE BRAKE CYLINDERS. THE FRONT BRAKE CYLINDER WAS SEEPING SO I REPLACED BOTH FRONT CYLINDERS AND BRAKES/HARDWARE.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPAIR ON EACH REAR QUARTER BEHIND THE WHEEL. (NOT DONE BY ME).

THIS CAR CRUISES VERY NICELY DOWN THE ROAD. STEERS LIKE ITS ON AIR, AND TRACKS STRAIGHT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL (NOT RECOMMENDED..LOL). WITH A LITTLE TLC SHE WILL BE A VERY NICE CLASSY CRUISER.

YOU HAVE READ THE ABOVE FACTS...   116,000 OR 16,000 ? i HONESTLY CANT ADVERTISE IT AS 16,000, BUT THAT IS MY OPINION... BUT EVEN IF IT WAS 116,000...THAT IS STILL GOOD MILEAGE FOR A 1966. THE ENGINE PURRS. 
ORIGINAL JACK IS IN TRUNK AS WELL.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL SHIPPING COSTS. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD "AS IS". WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EXPRESSED, SPOKEN OR IMPLIED. I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS OPEN AND HONEST WITH THIS CAR AS I COULD. MY FEEDBACK RATING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
BUYER TO PAY A $500 NON RETURNABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL OR CASHIERS CHECK WITHIN 5 DAYS END OF AUCTION. BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 10 DAYS END OF AUCTION DATE OR BUYER LOSES THE DEPOSIT.

THIS VEHICLE IS BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AS WELL. SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK BEFORE YOU BID.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES, PLEASE DO NOT BID. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEED BACKS, SELLER HAS THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT THE BID. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Fri, Jan 14 2022

This episode of the Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They kick off with an overview of the 2022 North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year award winners (spoiler: Ford did well). After that, they talk about GM's electric pickup strategy and whether a premium electric pickup from Cadillac makes sense. Then, they pivot to Mitsubishi and the future of the Ralliart nameplate. Will we ever get a fun, inexpensive enthusiast car from the Japanese automaker again? Then it's on to what Byron's had in the driveway for the past couple weeks, including a 2022 Chevy Corvette and a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon. Plus, he talks about putting some new snow tires on his personal Jeep Wrangler for evaluation in Michigan winter.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
