Now's your chance! At MotoeXotica Classic Cars, we are very proud to present the one and only 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic that is the original Gas Monkey Rally Car, enhanced by Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman of Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, Texas in the late 2000's to compete in the Bullrun and the Gumball. This was before Richard's show Fast N' Loud became the most popular car show in the world! Rawlings and his "Monkeys" star in Discovery Channel's "Fast 'n Loud" series. The particular Caprice is the same one Gas Monkey Garage's Richard Rawlings and master builder Aaron Kaufman modified and raced in the Gumball 3000 and Bullrun rallies in 2009 and in 2008, irrespectively. In one of the rallies, the car was clocked at a top speed of 163 mph! If there is one car that best represents the original start of Gas Monkey Garage into the mainstream, this is it!!! Before the rallies, in 2007 Richard took out the original 350 CID V-8 and first time around installed a built big block Cadillac500ci engine but sometime after 2007 they decided to go even further and do something that no one else had done before and installed a modern LQ96.0-liter V-8 from a 2006 Cadillac Escalade engine with upgraded Corvette brakes and a GM 4L65-E transmission replaced the stock three-gear Turbo Hydramatic unit. This car was made in June 1975 right here at GM's St. Louis, Missouri factory. Now its back in St. Louis direct from Gas Monkey Headquarters in Dallas Texas. The stock Medium Green (code 44) original paint and trim with black Gas Monkey rally graphics are in overall good condition with the sorts of scrapes and scars you'd expect a rally car to wear. The car's tinted windows are in overall very good condition, with no major cracks or chips. The car's stock lights and fog lights perched over the front bumper look good and are haze-free. This Caprice rolls on Toyo A/T Open Country tires, size 31x10.50R15 at all four corners. As a rally car, there are no wheels covers. The tires and wheels add to the odd yet menacing vibe the car exudes. The Vortec HO 6000 or VortecMAX is a special high-output version of theVortec 6000V-8 truckengine originally designed forCadillac and breathing through dual exhausts. It featured high-compression (10:1), flattop pistons for an extra 10horsepower and 10lbs�ft of torque, bringing output to 345horsepower and 380lbs�ft of torque and breathing through dual exhausts. LQ9s were built only inRomulus, Michigan. Backing up this engine is GM's 4L65-E four-speed electronic automatic transmission and a nine-inch rear differential. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, tinted sunroof, power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, the front bench seat has been swapped out for a pair of racing bucket seats, swathed in the same Green (code 44B) interior complete with custom embroidered old school Gas Monkey logos! The front seats and rear bench are in good overall condition, considering the amount of use they have received. The matching carpet is in overall original condition and shows some wear. The headliner is in good order, while the instrument panel, two-spoke steering wheel, inner door panels, mirror glass and the shift lever are all in good order. There are ancillary gauges - oil, engine temperature and voltage in the passenger side of the dash and canted toward the driver. The sound system is new but the amplifier is inoperable and there is a Cobra CB radio, antennas and a JVC navigation system. The finishing touch of the interior is Richard Rawling's and Dennis Collin's personal signature under the drivers sun visor! The car's bodywork is straight and solid, there's a full-size black storage rack mounted atop the roof, complete with Hella lights, the bumpers fit decently well to the body, the battery looks very good and the engine bay is tidy. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 21,877 miles and believed to be actual because Richard noted that he bought the car from the original owner who was an elderly lady who only drove the car sparingly and the Caprice had only 10k miles when he purchased it. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! GET YOU SOME OF THAT!!! PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR YOUTUBE VIDEO!
