SERIOUS SELLER WANTS SERIOUS BUYER
I am an over the road trucker will be back in town the weekend of the 13th would like to sell it then.
Bought this caprice about 6 years ago and it has been kept most of that time in my garage. It is in pretty good condition for its age. Except what I mention the car is original this means it is a 35ish old car. The trunk is clean no rust. and the floor pans are also rust free.

I put a posi rear with 373 gears in.

It also has a rebuilt turbo 350 with a nice shift kit.

New Headers and dual exhaust.

It has a 305 motor ( at first I was told it was a 350 motor then later on someone else said it is a 305. So I'll list it as a 305 and if it ends up being a 305 that ok. It has a lifter or valve tap.

It has an original am/fm CB radio.

It also has rear air shocks and blocks for the front springs. Was planning on putting new coils in the front but didn't get there.

It has larger wheels and tires that come with it. Not the big 20's. Yes the rear wheels stick a little pass the quarter panel.


Now for the bad news.

Yes it needs a paint job.

Yes the interior is dirty and has rips. Carpet needs replaced.

Yes the vinyl roof has a rip or two.

Yes there is a couple dings and I think just 2 or 3 rust spots.

When the mechanic was under it he said it was the cleanest 30 plus old car ha has seen. Passenger door is pushed in by one of my daughters using there butt to push it closed so I'm told. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
So it was parked in my garage last summer expecting to work on it this year part just don't have time.
 
Note : I have over $3500.00 in the car.

DEPOSIT OF 100.00 POSTAL MONEY ORDER MUST BE SENT SO I RCEIVE IT IN 3 DAYS. BALANCE BROUGHT WITH YOU WHEN YOU PICK UP THE CAPRICE WITH 7 DAYS AT END OF AUCTION.  

CAPRICE MUST BE PICKED UP WITH IN 7 DAYS WITH CASH WHEN YOU PICK IT UP.


On Mar-12-14 at 23:20:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

Sorry the part of the ad saying I will be out of town until the 13 is WRONG. I am a over the trucker but I'm off right now due to a medical leave so the caprice can be picked up anytime you want.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If 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.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
