I have my ALL ORIGINAL 1972 Caprice up for sale! I call this car "Papa Smurf" because of the original Blue w/White Vinyl Top color combination. I will start off by saying this is the car that you hear about people finding in barns, but never get lucky enough to find yourself until now!! I purchased this beautiful car from the original family that have owned this car since 1972, and bought brand new. I happened to be at the right place at the right time is the only reason I was lucky enough to get this car. I have the original dealer plate certificate/vehicle warranty to support what I'm saying'. I also have the original owners manual along with a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice/Impala options catalog. This car also has the original sun visors with complete instructions on how to start the car in hot or cold weather conditions, and I have never seen that on any of my other Chevrolets. I have owned several 70's model Caprice/Impalas, and this is by far the most beautiful, complete, and original one that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. This car had one re-paint back in 1990 to the original color, but it looks like it was just painted because this car has been garage kept since 1972! I also want to say that the car has been in storage every since I have owned it as you can see in the pics. This really was a lil ol' lady's car because that is who purchased and drove the car for the main majority of it's existance until she sadly passed away, and left it to her son which who sold it to me. He appeared to be in his late 60's to early 70's, by the way. This car comes with the 6.6L 402 Big Block which did not come standard with the car, and was a special order for the year so you are getting a rare Caprice. The 402 is basically a factory hotrod engine that started out as a 396 Big Block that was bored 0.30 over at the factory over making it a very powerful and strong 402 Big Block! The transmission is a 350 Turbo Hydra-matic that shifts again around 70 m.p.h. This big thing just floats down the highway like a brand new car with lots of power when you need it! This car is missing NOTHING, and everything works. It has all the chrome trim, interior pieces, engine components, and even has the carpeted trunk w/ ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE and JACK! This is a numbers matching car that makes a huge difference to the collectors. This car is also equipped with the 4 Seasons Air Conditioning that's been already converted to R134, and works great. All new weather stripping has just been installed around the windows and doors making it air tight inside the car which makes a big difference as far as outside noise, and outside temperature getting in. Like I said this car is ALL ORIGINAL even down to the Original 8 Track Player that STILL WORKS. With this car you are getting something that's in it's pure form, and has not been stepped on by anyone! The engine has just been serviced with a detailed checkup and a fresh oil change. The car also has all new hoses under the hood. This car also already has rear air shocks installed. The exhaust leaks water when engine is running. If you know anything about cars then you know when a car leaks water that means the engine is running very cool and right. This car has a new master cylinder as well as a new radiator that was installed recently. Even the muffler that was replaced was replaced with an oem muffler instead of an aftermarket muffler to keep the car original. The seats are near perfect with the exception of the driver's seat having minor rips due to wear and tear with it being a 41 year old car. The rest of the seats are in excellent condition especially the back seat because it looks like nobody has ever sat in it. The headliner, sun tray, and dashboard(no cracks) are all in excellent shape! Even the woodgrain trim that's usually faded in these old cars is excellent, and the cigarette lighter still works after all these years. All the chrome is beautiful on the car with no rust, and it has the Deluxe Bumpers that come standard on the Caprice, but not on the Impala. The fuel guage works,and is very accurate due to the new fuel sending unit that's in the tank The car also has a new fuel pump. The Original White Vinyl top is also in excellent shape with no tears. The body is laser straight and has never had any bondo! The hood, trunk, and doors all shut as they did when the car was new and all line up with no gaps between the different body panels. Just look closely at the pics to see what I mean. This car is almost in showroom condition, and I personally have not seen none nicer in person. Whether you want to purchase this car to drive as is, or put the oversized wheels, and loud speakers in it you have a good start for either way. These old cars are becoming extinct like the dinosaurs, and to find one in this shape is very rare, and especially a 2 door hardtop! I have nothing to hide which is why I didn't cover up my license plate like other people, and I will say that the car does have very minor surface rust over the rear fender skirt on the driver's side, but no holes and NOT coming through the paint. If I wouldn't have told you then you probably would have never noticed. I have been all over the internet looking at these cars for sale, and you are not gonna find one like this one that's in it's all original NUMBERS MATCHING condition for under 20k NOWHERE, so my Buy It Now price is a steal!! I'm sure you can find a 1972 cheaper, but by the time you hunt down and pay for all the missing parts, bodywork, and mechanical issues you are gonna wish you bought this one in the first place. If you want junk then I can't help you, but if you want a beautiful original classic then here you go! .I realize that I will probably not find another 1972 Caprice in this shape that's affordable again, but my loss is your gain. You really have to see and drive this car in person to really appreciate the true beauty of it. I reserve the right to end this listing early due to the car being advertised locally also. Thanks for viewing my car/listing, and Happy Bidding!!

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition
Sat, Dec 13 2014To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM might outsource vans to AM General
Thu, Nov 26 2015General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
