 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!

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV

Tue, Feb 23 2016

The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf go nearly the same all-electric miles a year

Sun, Nov 1 2015

Range anxiety? What range anxiety? The concept is a foreign one to those driving Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-ins, and as a result, that vehicle's all-electric driving miles are actually pretty close to that of the all-electric Nissan Leaf. Such were the findings of a study conducted by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), which tracked about 8,700 cars during a three-year period, including a bunch of Volts, Leafs and Smart ED electric vehicles. In short, even though the Volt's all-electric range of about 38 miles is less than half that of the Leaf's, the Volts' collective all-electric driving was just six percent lower than the Leaf's (the next-generation Volt will be even more electro-generous, with a 50-mile range). The logic makes sense considering typical US driving habits, in which a vast majority of people commute less than 35 miles a day. Additionally, Volt drivers obviously have no fear of running out of electricity, so they were far more likely to max out on that range than some Leaf drivers. Overall, the average Leaf is driven about 15 percent less than the national average of about 11,300 miles a year for all vehicles, while Volts are driven about eight percent more. Of all those Volt miles, about 81 percent were in all-electric mode. Additionally, Volt drivers recharged about 1.5 times a day, while Leaf drivers recharged about once a day, and about 85 percent of that charging was at home. As for non-home charging, about 20 percent of the vehicles accounted for 75 percent of the station use, so folks are definitely creatures of habit. Check out the INL's 22-page report here for more interesting details.
