 1966 CHEVY CAPRICE 2 DOOR COUPE

283 / V-8 ~ 2 BARREL CARB ~ AUTOMATIC POWER-GLIDE TRANSMISSION
BRAND NEW WALKER DUAL EXHAUST ~ NEW FAN BELT~ NEW BATTERY
NEW FRONT BRAKES AND WHEEL CYLINDERS
REAR  BRAKES GOOD AND 4 NEW TIRES. (200 miles on them)
NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ~ FRESH TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE

THIS CAR SHOWS 16,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A MAN WHO HAD BOUGHT IT FROM AN ESTATE.
 HE "ASSUMED" IT WAS 116,000 DUE TO THE CARS AGE. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING WORKED ON IT AND EXAMINING IT FURTHER, I BELIEVE IT MAY ACTUALLY BE ONLY 16,000 MILES. THESE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS I BELIEVE THAT.

*THE SPARK PLUG WIRES ARE STAMPED "DELCO", WHICH WAS GM'S WIRES USED IN THE 1966 TIME PERIOD.

* THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NO WEAR AT ALL, NOR DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE WEAR FROM SWITCHING FROM BRAKE TO GAS.

* THE FRONT SEAT "PIPING" AROUND THE SEAT BACK WHERE YOU WOULD GET IN AND GET OUT HAS NO WEAR, NOR DOES THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARMREST OR DOOR PANEL TOP.

* THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS ARE IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAT HAS LITTLE WEAR.

* THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, BOOKLETS, AND "PROTECT-O-PLATE" (VERY RARE) ARE STILL WITH THE CAR.

*THE ORIGINAL 4 RIMS AND 4 FACTORY HUBCAPS ARE IN THE TRUNK IN GREAT CONDITION. NO DENTS OR DINGS ON WHEEL COVERS

*THE HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE IN THE CAR ARE "T-3"'S AND ARE DATE CODED 1965.

*THE BATTERY CLAMP IS STILL AN ORIGINAL 1966 STYLE SPRING CLAMP.

I AM TOLD THIS CAR SAT IN A GARAGE FOR MANY YEARS, (Last inspected 1984), HOWEVER FOR ABOUT THE PAST 7 YEARS IT SAT OUTSIDE, THUS THE TOP SURFACE RUST. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A NICE PAINT JOB AND SOME OTHER MINOR ISSUES TO BRING BACK TO HER ORIGINAL GLORY.

THE CAR ALSO COMES WITH ITS 4 ORIGINAL STEEL RIMS AS WELL AS ITS 4 WHEEL COVERS THAT ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (NO DINGS!) PROTECT-PLATE AND MANUALS INCLUDED.

THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE IN THE CARB BUT IS AN EASY FIX. THERE ARE TWO SPOTS IN THE TRUNK THAT NEED ATTENTION AS WELL. (SEE PHOTOS)

THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME , INNER AND OUTER ROCKERS, ARE SOLID. ALL ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS AND ARE SOLID AS WELL.....NO PATCHES!. THE FACTORY RADIO IS IN TACT BUT IS NOT WORKING. SURFACE RUST ON ROOF, HOOD AND TRUNK.

THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER(VERY SMALL TEAR) AND REAR SEAT LOOK AWESOME.
FRONT SEAT MATERIAL INSERTS NEED ATTENTION BUT THE VINYL PART OF THE SEAT IS LIKE NEW. A REAL NICE CLASSIC/ANTIQUE THAT CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED "AS IS" OR WHILE YOU ARE FIXING HER UP.

THE CARBURETOR NEEDS A REBUILD AS THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE ENGINE IT SMOKED. I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND ADDED A QUART OF MARVEL MYSTERY OIL TO SOFTEN UP THE VALVE GUIDE SEALS ETC. THE CAR BARELY SMOKES AT ALL BUT AT TIMES THERE IS SOME WHEN FIRST STARTING. I BELIEVE THAT AS IT IS DRIVEN IT WILL CLEAR UP COMPLETELY.. THERE IS SURFACE RUST ON THE ROOF AND SOME OF THE HOOD. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUST STARTING AROUND REAR WINDOW.

THE TWO TRUNK CORNERS ARE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION. SEE PHOTO. THEY DO SELL THE PANELS FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS A COMMON AREA FOR RUST IN THESE CARS. AGAIN...ALL FLOOR PANS ARE ORIGINAL AND SOLID.
BUMPERS AND GRILLE ARE STRAIGHT AND CLEAN.  I CHECKED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE GOOD AS ARE BRAKE CYLINDERS. THE FRONT BRAKE CYLINDER WAS SEEPING SO I REPLACED BOTH FRONT CYLINDERS AND BRAKES/HARDWARE.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPAIR ON EACH REAR QUARTER BEHIND THE WHEEL. (NOT DONE BY ME).

THIS CAR CRUISES VERY NICELY DOWN THE ROAD. STEERS LIKE ITS ON AIR, AND TRACKS STRAIGHT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL (NOT RECOMMENDED..LOL). WITH A LITTLE TLC SHE WILL BE A VERY NICE CLASSY CRUISER.

YOU HAVE READ THE ABOVE FACTS...   116,000 OR 16,000 ? i HONESTLY CANT ADVERTISE IT AS 16,000, BUT THAT IS MY OPINION... BUT EVEN IF IT WAS 116,000...THAT IS STILL GOOD MILEAGE FOR A 1966. THE ENGINE PURRS. 
ORIGINAL JACK IS IN TRUNK AS WELL.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL SHIPPING COSTS. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD "AS IS". WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EXPRESSED, SPOKEN OR IMPLIED. I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS OPEN AND HONEST WITH THIS CAR AS I COULD. MY FEEDBACK RATING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
BUYER TO PAY A $500 NON RETURNABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL OR CASHIERS CHECK WITHIN 5 DAYS END OF AUCTION. BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 10 DAYS END OF AUCTION DATE OR BUYER LOSES THE DEPOSIT.

THIS VEHICLE IS BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AS WELL. SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK BEFORE YOU BID.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES, PLEASE DO NOT BID. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEED BACKS, SELLER HAS THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT THE BID. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Let's Drive NYC is GM's car sharing program for the Big Apple

Sat, Oct 3 2015

Under a new car sharing program offered by General Motors and others, a New York Minute will cost about 15 cents. GM is working with a luxury-apartment building owner and a parking lot operator to run a car sharing program in Midtown Manhattan. The program is called Let's Drive NYC and it was announced Thursday. Let's Drive NYC is being offered to residents of the Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building near New York's Times Square. The program is being run with the help of Icon Parking Systems, which runs about 200 parking garages in Manhattan where the cars can be parked. GM is contributing eight Chevrolet Trax crossovers and two Chevrolet Equinox SUVs, and the automaker is slated to add more vehicles "later." Residents of the Ritz Plaza, which is owned by Stonehenge Partners, can make "periodic apartment lease payments" and in exchange receive electronic credits for three hours of driving a month. After those three hours are up, the drivers will be charged less than $10 an hour, or as much as $75 a day. The program was piloted earlier this year to some of the apartment's tenants. The program marks the second bit of car sharing news in New York within the past two months. In August, Mercedes-Benz and Smart parent Daimler announced that its Car2go car sharing service would expand into Queens and add about 100 Smart ForTwo two-seaters to the city's program. Car2go made its New York debut in Brooklyn last October and has attracted more than 27,000 members since then. You can take a look at Let's Drive NYC's press release below. GM Unveils 'Let's Drive NYC' Car-Sharing Program NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Running an errand to a big box store or planning a weekend excursion are about to get easier for some Manhattan residents because of a car-sharing program revealed today by General Motors. It's the company's latest move to deliver urban mobility options to customers around the globe. Let's Drive NYC is available to eligible residents of The Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building at Times Square in midtown Manhattan, owned and managed by Stonehenge Partners. Residents use a GM-developed mobile app to reserve a vehicle and access parking in one of 200 garages throughout Manhattan managed by Icon Parking Systems. The fleet currently includes eight Chevrolet Trax small SUVs and two Chevrolet Equinox compact SUVs, with more vehicles to be added later.
