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!

Why does Chevy want to trademark Camaro Krypton?
Mon, Jun 1 2015The Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang have the type of long-lived rivalry that is often found in the pages of comic books. Is the Camaro the Kryptonite to the Mustang's Superman, though? We might get to find out soon, if two recent trademark filings are any hints. On May 5, General Motors filed trademarks in the US for both Krypton and Camaro Krypton (not pictured above). While the move seemed potentially timed with the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next year, engineer Al Oppenheiser shot that theory down to The Detroit Free Press. "I think that's just Internet buzz, which is great," he said to the newspaper about the alleged connection. "It's another thing about this segment of cars: there's always Internet buzz." Rather than a special edition connected to next the superhero film, Oppenheiser speculated something else. "Sometimes when we come up with a new color in our studios, they just apply [for a trademark] in case we ever use it," he said to The Detroit Free Press. "We never said we're going to do anything with that color." Still, as Superman's home planet and part of the name for the mineral that can harm him, Krypton undoubtedly has a superhero connection. To maintain the link to the comics, such a color would likely be a shade of green. Although, depending on the depiction in the books, the exact hue can vary between bright neon and a darker tone.

400,000 Chevy, GMC pickups recalled: Side airbags can explode
Fri, Jul 9 2021DETROIT — General Motors is recalling more than 400,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the side airbags can explode without warning and spew parts into the cabin. The recall covers certain 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. Documents posted Friday by U.S. safety regulators say the airbag inflator can rupture or the end cap can fly off on both sides of the trucks. Documents say three inflators ruptured in 2015 Silverados last month, one in Florida and two in Texas. All three trucks were unoccupied at the time, and GM says it has no reports of injuries. Dealers will replace both side airbag modules. The company says it has a limited number of replacement parts available. Owners will be notified starting Aug. 16 and they'll get a second letter when parts are widely available. About 9,000 of the trucks were recalled last year for the same problem. The company says a manufacturing defect allowed moisture into the inflator while it was being manufactured, causing corrosion. The inflators were made in Mexico by Joyson Safety Systems, the company that took over Takata. Back in April, Silverado and Sierra were among nearly 750,000 GM vehicles in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigation into non-deploying driver-side airbags. That investigation is ongoing. Takata is responsible for the largest recalls in automotive history, covering about 100 million inflators among 19 major automakers worldwide, including about 67 million inflators in the United States. Nineteen deaths in the U.S. have been attributed to Takata inflators. Only about 50 million of the 67 million recalled inflators in the U.S. have been repaired. This latest recall is a good reminder to go to NHTSA's recalls website and enter your car's VIN. Millions of recalled vehicles still pose a danger to their owners. Yours could be one of them.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network
Wed, Jan 14 2015Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs. Read more in the press release below.
