1968 Chevy Caprice all original with matching numbers 396ci, 325hp engine and TD 400 Transmition

This is an all original Caprice, I have had since 2005 and had been restoring until 2010. I am the second owner and car is an original Eastern Washington car, very dry.

Started the restoration by sand blasting the whole vehicle down to bare metal, found some rust that needed repairing, replaced both lower quarter panels and patched both front fenders with all new metal. Then primer, body work and original Chevy red paint, base coat clear coat, buffed to glass finish. New windshield, original side and back glass and new vinyl top. interior was fully gone threw in all original color ways, new carpet, head liner, seats and cushions recovered. New dash pad and dash repainted. stereo was installed in glove box, with aux cable. Two ten inch MTX sub woofers, and 600 watt amp, sounds great and trunk and quarter panels are Dynamatted. Trunk is also fulling boxed in and carpeted to match sub box and inside of trunk lid, looks really clean and simple. 22" wire wheels have been installed and look sharp on this car, i really like the look and it turns heads although not for everyone, so I can offer original wheels, white walls and hub caps, please let me know if that is the way you like it before bidding. 22" wheels are in good shape with a couple small imperfections and chrome is not perfect. tires are good.

Now for the Best thing ever!!! The all original never molested, never pulled out only tuned up and kept in tip top shape, the 396ci, 325 hp big block Chevy. This thing is a beast. never had a better sound more power or a better looking block. I love this engine and was the main reason I bought the car. Numbers all match and can be decoded in the pictures. Carburetor was rebuilt a little while ago and starts up and runs so smooth, no stall or delays. New radiator, and fluids and everything checked regularly. New battery was just installed, due to sitting for a while. new Magnaflow dual exhaust also installed and sounds perfect. I have spent a ton of time and energy to make this Caprice a head turning, fun, easy to own car. so many parts where purchased threw classic industries, including lights, interior parts, chrome belt moldings, metal replacement parts, and tons more.

Thanks a ton for looking and happy bidding, any questions feel free to email.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

Chevy Malibu will become 45-mpg strong hybrid with next update

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Come next year there'll be no more mild hybrid pretensions for the Chevrolet Malibu - the next-generation sedan will borrow technology from the 2016 Volt and get a proper hybrid powertrain. A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine gets help from a two-motor drive unit adapted from the Volt for 182 system horsepower, the motor drive powered by an 80-cell, 1.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Chevrolet says that when combined with features like grille shutters and a lower ride height, it expects the Malibu Hybrid will post a combined fuel economy rating of more than 45 miles per gallon, which would best the hybrid trims of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. Electric power alone can power the car up to 55 miles per hour, and The Bowtie's first use of exhaust gas heat recovery will help maintain high hybrid performance in cold weather and be used to heat the engine and cabin. The Malibu Hybrid should go on sale in the Spring of next year, for now there's a press release below. Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Derives Technology from Volt GM estimates combined fuel economy ratings to exceed 45 mpg DETROIT, 2015-03-25 – Chevrolet's recent production announcement of its all-electric vehicle based on the Bolt EV concept, as well as the introduction of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, will be joined by a strong hybrid version of the next-generation Malibu. Using technology from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt propulsion system, Malibu Hybrid will offer an estimated combined fuel economy rating exceeding 45 mpg, higher than the combined mileage ratings of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata hybrid variants. "The 2016 Malibu Hybrid will offer impressive fuel economy, exceptional driving characteristics and gorgeous styling," said Jesse Ortega, Chevrolet Malibu chief engineer. "Besides leveraging innovation from the Chevrolet Volt, the Malibu Hybrid also has unique features that help improve aerodynamics, like upper and lower grille air shutters to improve airflow and a reduced ride height, all of which help reduce fuel consumption," Ortega said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power.
