Im selling my 1975 caprice classic convertable because I am buying a new house and am getting married and all toys must go asap Ihave over $50,000 total invested in this car and it looks better than when it came off the show room floor. Ive added every option and all the toys n gadgets to this one and if was not for us moving n needing the cash to get in our new house trust me this car would not leave my side. Here are some of the things ive done to it, all tubular a-arms in front and all new moog suspention parts,new custom upper and lower grills in front,new hid lights with new lenses and also the orange halo headlights on all 4 lights ( plasma newest n brightest out),full custom lift but not to high because wanted to keep the 28" wheels tucked,new custom dual exaust,completely redone engine and painted it all back original and replaced all gaskets and components on engine (water pump,alternator,fuel pump,belts,hoses,radiator,cam and lifter set and plugs and wires all this year).also put 2000 stall converter in transmision and new front and rear main seals in motor and all trans seals were replaced as well as the trans pan gasket and filter.underneath of car looks as new as it did in 1975 and no rust anywhere on this car at ALL! Now for the good stuff. I put brand new 28" tires and rims on the car which were completely sandblasted all the way down to the bare metal and professionally painted black and orange to match the paint color of the car. I also replaced all body bushings,shocks,coil springs, and all brake shoes,brake pads,brake harwear, drums, rotors,wheel cylinders,all brake lines,and also all new gears (stock) in rear end as well as bump stops.REPLACED THE CHEAPER VINYL TOP WITH A BLACK CLOTH TOP because thought the vinyl one made car look cheap and i didnt build it to save money. I had entire car stripped down and proffetionally painted at josh and dads body shop in trotwood and paint color is called i believe candy orange glow ,it has beuitiful ghost stripes (graphics) going from front to back and everywhere there was a chrome emblem i took off and had the emblems painted on it in ghost graphics.I ALSO TOOK ALL THE INTERIOR OUT N HAD IT ALL REDONE ALL BLACK LEATHER WITH A SMALL ORANGE PINSTRIPE IN CENTER OF EACH SEAT TO ACCENT CAR AND ADD JUST A TOUCH OF COLOR TO THE INTERIOR AND IT ALSO HAS AN UPGRADED CUSTOM "ORANGE LED DIGITAL DASH". Interior also has all new side panels and new black carpet and a custom console built and wrapped in the same black leather as the seats ALSO HAS A CUSTOM ALL ALUMINUM BUILIT STEERING WHEEL and has a 2013 pioneer touchscreen double din tv in console with 2 cup holders built in it and also (2) 5 1/4 memphis mojo mids and highs located on the side of the custom console.There is also 2 custom made and wrapped kick panels under dash that were covered in same black material and also have (2) memphis mojo 5 1/4 speakers in them as well. then in rear seat i have 4 more memphis mojo speakers mounted in side panels close to arm rests 2 on each side and all 8 0f them are on memphis crossovers and were all profetionally installed by stereo indash in dayton,ohio and all 8 memphis mids and hight are ran on a massive 3 foot long memphis mojo 125x4 amplifier which will blow your ear drums. Now last but not least we have the trunk which has all new trunk seals as does the doors and the trunk was completely done by Xtreme auto sports ( Mike Frudenburg ) WHICH IS THE COLDEST FABRICATOR AND DESIGHNER AT MAKING ONE OF A KIND VEHICLES. The trunk is completely customized with the memphis 3000x1 sub amp and the memphis 125x4 highs amp mounted under custom made glass with orange led lights which light up the windows and theres a custom 4 foot piece of custom glass built into the top of the box and was sent out and had it profestioally etched and says "CAPRICE CLASIC" with the caprice emblem etched in between the two words and also has bright orange led lights which glow through the etching and looks amazing. The box is the size of the entire trunk and all wrapped in same black leather as the interior and is flawless, there was no short cuts or money being saved on this build its one of a kind and all led orange lights are on mercury switch so they are off while trunk is closed but as soon as you open trunk n the mercury ball moves it kicks on all the lighs.There is also a $800 dollar audio battery in the rear which a custom made steel box was made for it to sit in and is mounted inside box by quarter panel so you see nothing but the quality work and quality parts used to build this one of a kind car. THE CAR ALSO CAME WITH POWER WINDOWS AND IS AN A/C CAR AND IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND HEAT IS AMAZING.I am the second owner of the vehicle and it has always been garage kept . It does have a nice alarm on it as well ofcouse ( we do live in dayton ) lol...

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
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.
