1969 Chevrolet Caprice 427 on 2040-cars
Johnston, Iowa, United States
|
I have owned this car for almost 2 years and it sure turns heads! It's a rare '69 Caprice as it was built just like an Impala SS with its 427/390 engine with buckets seats, a console shift automatic, and rally wheels. It would only take a few SS emblems to turn it into a nice SS clone. This car drives like a dream with its 116" wheelbase. The car is equipped with PS, PB, PW, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, rear defogger, leather seats, and automatic climate control. The A/C compressor was replaced recently and the thermal vacuum switch needs to be replaced. The car was repainted and is in average condition. The blue vinyl roof is original and is faded. The front end was completely redone with new control arms and bushings and the engine was rebuilt according to the former owner. It runs very strong and does not have any leaks. The transmission shifts with no problems and is hooked up to a 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. Both mufflers are fairly new and are quiet giving the car its sleeper appearance even though there is plenty of power under the hood. People driving by always point to the 427 badges on the front fenders followed by a quick thumbs up. The leather interior is in very good condition and the back seat looks like its never been sat on. I can't say the engine is numbers matching because the numbers are too hard to read on the pad but every other code and date on the engine reflects it being correct for a '69. I recently replaced the windshield and power window master switch. The speedometer works as do the power windows and all interior lights. There is one idiot light that won't turn off. The intake # is 3931067, the block code is 3963512, and the engine pad # is T0525LC. That LC code is correct for a '69 Caprice with the 427/390 engine. I'm selling the car because I just bought a 2011 Vette and need the space in my garage. If you have any questions, call my cell - 515-782-0904.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
