Up for sale is a truly incredible original car! This is an ALL ORIGINAL un-restored "SURVIVOR" 1978 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 2 door Sport Coupe! This is one of 3 years that the 2 door Caprices were offered in the unique "Aero-Coupe" design with aerodynamic wrap around rear glass that was later featured on the late 1980's Monte Carlo NASCAR "Aero-Coupes"! This beauty was acquired directly from the original owner and could be classified as a true "BARN FIND" as I literally bought it out of his barn where it had been lovingly stored! He bought the car new, drove it sparingly for about 10 years only in the spring, summer, and early fall. It was NEVER driven in snow or salt, and was always parked in the barn when not being used. Then, he took it off the road in 1998, keeping in in storage from then on. He also knew enough to store the car properly, start and run it every so often, as well as drive it a little in his neighborhood to keep seals and gaskets fresh and not leaking or dried out. The result is that this car still looks and drives incredibly! It has 62,000 original miles, but in my opinion, could easily pass for 25 or 30 thousand! Every where you look, this Caprice is unbelievably un-restored original! The original blue metallic paint still has a lot of depth and holds a great shine! There is some of the light "blotchiness" on the hood and deck lid of this car that was very characteristic of metallic colored GM cars of this era as the paint aged a few years, but it is NOT dull or cracked as you typically see on these cars. While there are a few minor nicks and scratches that go with any used car, it does not have a bunch of door dings or "parking lot rash" like you usually see. Original owner was always picky about parking it away from other cars in parking lots to avoid this. Car has never been wrecked, rusted, or patched. Has all original sheet metal body panels, floor pans, etc. Very clean underside, too. Nice and clean, not scaly. Original chrome and bright work are straight, bright and shiny. Original cloth interior is absolutely immaculate! No tears, rips, cracks in dash etc. Still has original GM floor mats. Trunk is also immaculate original with original spare, jack, and mat. Under hood is also nice un-restored original. You just don't find vintage cars more original and un-touched than this one! This Caprice Classic Coupe is equipped as follows: 1. 305/2bbl V8 engine 2. 3-speed automatic transmission 3. Power steering and brakes 4. Factory radio (Not working at this point). I have a spare factory radio that I will include with the car 5. Comfortron automatic climate control and air conditioning (still works, and blows cold) 6. Delay wiper system 7. Power trunk release 8. Deluxe cloth interior NOTE: This car DOES NOT have power windows, locks, or seat This Caprice drives like a dream! Smooth, good power, and quiet comfortable ride! Like sitting in your living room! We drove it last week on a 175 mile trip with absolutely no issues or problems. Ran nice and cool, did not leak or burn oil, or do anything out of the ordinary. I would not be afraid to drive this one anywhere! Also, I have all books and papers since new, including the original window sticker! You seldom see nice original cars like this that have been well cared for. This would be great for antique car tours, or entering in the HPOF (Historical Preservation of Original Features) or Survivor class at car shows. These all original Survivor cars are quickly becoming one of the most important aspects and valuable items in the collector car hobby today! Remember, anyone with a large checkbook can drag a derelict out of a junkyard and restore it, but they are only factory original once! Don't miss this great opportunity to get into the old car hobby with a beautiful original turn-key car at an affordable price!

I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance
Sun, May 13 2018I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
