All original 1976 Caprice 4 door hardtop. Car has original paint, under the hood is all original and unmolested. Interior is also original. Only thing not original is the rims. Car is 90% rust free. Has one minor hole on the left lower dog leg on the rear of car, small blister on right rear door and one small blister on the lower left fender. Car has one small dent on the hood and another small on on the drivers door. The one in the door is hardly noticable as it is right on the transition of the door. Paint shines very well for a 36 year old car. It has paint peeling on the rear window filler section. White vinyl top is in very good shape but has a few rust blisters starting to show under it. Very minor but they are there. Engine is the stock 350 with 350 transmission. Has all stock parts and still has the stock exhaust system. Runs great and shifts as it should. Interior has two very small minor imperfections. A small burn on the front seat and another on the rear seat. Dash pad is perfect, door panels are perfect. Still has the factory radio in the dash and it works. Car has power locks(working), Cruise(working) A/C(working) and tilt wheel. Fuel guage works as it should. There is no rust in the floorboards or in the trunk. Wheels are Outlaw II's and are pitted. Tires are prob around 25%. I have the original rims but not the hubcaps. Car drives excellent and everything works as it should. I would drive this car cross country with no worries. Great driver or excellent car to restore. Hard to find one with good interior and this solid. Car has the front bumper fillers intact but the rear outer ones are brittle and breaking. Common problems for this model of car

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
