1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible

Barn Fresh Since 2005

Same Lady Owner Since 1989



Factory Air Conditioning and Power Windows


Just Serviced and Inspected


Rare Opportunity............................LOW RESERVE





Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer this Barn Fresh, Original, and Unrestored 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible. We were Lucky enough to acquire this Low Mileage Survivor from the long term lady owner and her husband, along with a few other choice Beauties. Looking at the back of the Pa. inspection sticker, and the lube sticker on the windshield(photos below), they had it serviced after the 2005 driving season, put it in the barn(actually it was a pole building that stored tractors and lawn equipment, along with three other cars), and covered it up like usual. Well, they must have gotten busy, and time just flew by!! Fast forward to a few months ago, and we purchased the cars because they "needed the room".
 
The nice lady purchased it from the first retail owner way back in 1989. Looking at the original books that we have, It appears that a dealer in Florida kept it for a while, and then sold it to the people that our dear lady bought it from. I have Pa registration cards dating back to 1988, so it's anyone's guess when it came to Pennsylvania.
 
This Gorgeous Caprice Classic is almost totally original outside, with zero rust or any signs of repair. There may have been some minor paint touch up over the years, but the paint meter reads pretty consistent of 2.5-3.5 mls all around the car with the exception of the left door, which reads 4.5 mls. Seems mostly original to me. The body is nice and straight with no signs of damage, or accidents. The chrome and brightwork are just Gorgeous as well, with no pitting or damage noticed. The White convertible top also looks original, with no damage or even shrinkage. It works as it should with ease. As noted in the photos, the boot is a bit shrunk, and may stretch out with some sun, and usage.

The white vinyl interior is also totally original with exception of the carpets. The originals were badly worn and faded, so we replaced them to freshen it up inside. It now looks fantastic!!!  All power accessories are functioning normally including the sound system, and the 4 power windows. The rears should be disassembled and adjusted, as they are a bit wobbly on the way down. Climate control is working, but A/C is not icey cold. We will attempt a Recharge during auctions course.

This was an easy one to "Wake Up" after it's 8 year slumber. We checked the fluid levels, installed a fresh Interstate battery, poured a bit of gas in the carb, and it fired right up. A short drive to the local filling station, and ten gallons of fresh fuel, this car now runs and drives perfect. I have driven it personally about 100 miles or so, with no noted issues. The more that I drive it, the better it runs!! Front brakes pulsate a little bit, but should clean up after more driving. Worst case is a fresh pair of rotors!! We did a fresh oil change, just because it had been several years standing, and a VERY time consuming detail on the exterior to bring the Medium Red paint back to it's former Glory.

Unrestored examples like this one are unheard of! Most have over 200 Thousand miles by now, and are either worn out, and extremely ratty, or are made over rust buckets!! Values are Rapidly rising, and this is sure to be a sound investment with a LOT of fun attached!! Remember....they are Original ONLY ONCE!!!!


Please keep in mind that this is an almost FORTY year old unrestored, original car. It is not perfect, or a restored trailer queen. There are a few blemishes, nicks etc. here and there. Nothing major, but it is NOT perfect!!! We have a clean Pennsylvania title in the dealership's name.


Take a look at the 40+ photographs below and see the actual condition of this One of A Kind Caprice Classic Convertible. 

By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.

Many Thanks for Your Interest!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
