1968 Caprice Coupe, 96k, So Cal Black Plate Car. Zero Rust! Stored 23 Yrs. on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
I have a nice original survivor car from southern California. The car had been garaged since the fall of 1967 in the same garage for 45 years, one family owner. In 1990 the car was stored in that in that same garage til 2013 When I bought it. Between 1990 and 2002 the car had only been fired up and driven short distances to keep things lubed up... it only aquired 480 miles in that time frame.
1968 Chevy Caprice Coupe. 96,600 original miles. 275HP 327, TH400, Power steering, RARE power disc brakes, power windows, seat, trunk, working air conditioning, and cruise control, it has the special lighting group, and a AM/FM Multiplex Radio with front and rear speakers. As with most cars that sit, it does present a few challenges, so I have replaced, the oil pressure switch, waterpump, heater hoses, belts, rebuilt the carb, tuned it, serviced the transmission and rear end, replaced, master cylinder, front calipers, front brakes (I have an extra NEW set btw, they are hard to find) rebuilt the rear wheel cylinders and replaced the rear brake shoes, replaced the shocks with monroe gas units, had an alignment, added a larger diameter front and rear sway bar, replaced the rear coild springs to get rid of the sag that they all have, I replaced the tires with 5 new P225/7015 Cooper Cobra tires. and added 2.5" dual exhaust from exhaust manifolds back with flow master mufflers. It still has all the T-3 headlights. Everything works as it should with the exception of the clock, and the radio. The radio turns on but cant get it to tune in. I Drove it back from Southern California to Washington state with no issues and have put nearly 11000 miles on it since August traveling around to car shows ect......Its a turn key car and draws a lot of attention. Fly in and drive it home. I have the original hubcaps, owners manual, window sticker, AM/FM Multiplex radio user instructions, keys, Black cali plates, and the factory gas cap was wrapped in a towel in the trunk.The large plastic front and rear floor mats from the 60s are still in the car as well and has protected the carpet nicely. NOTE: I DO HAVE THE CAR LISTED LOCALLY...I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PULL AD AT ANYTIME. If you have any questions about the car, you can email, text me or call directly @ 509-294-4571, Im not sure how much longer my phone will be turned on, so if you have questions, the sooner the better... This is what hagerty values the base 68 caprice at... not including the rare options... |

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars
Sun, Jan 11 2015Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing
Tue, Aug 14 2018We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must. In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover | Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV | Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
