This amazing “survivor”, all original, numbers matching, 1984
Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon WITH the 3rd row "Jump Seat" with
less than 63,000 original miles on it has had "technically" a
total of 3 owners in its 30 year pampered life, but really, I'm feel I'm the
2nd owner. The car is an all original
car from New Jersey. The original owners
had the car until 2013, gave it to their grandson who had it only a few months. He didn't want it and decided to sell it to a
gentleman that I bought it from, who only had it a couple months himself. He just bought it to flip and make a little
money I believe. When I bought it, it
was still registered in the grandson's name (the second owner).
Now, on to the description of this gorgeous vehicle. This Caprice Estate was never smoked in, was sparingly driven (as I said, it currently has less than 63,000 original miles), lovingly cared for and always garaged since new. Not only does it look virtually new, it drives like new! The original owner’s manual is still in the glove box. Included with the car is the original jack, jack instructions and a brand new full size spare tire. I have tons of receipts from the original owner validating the mileage which shows all the items done to the car over the years and very recently. More on that later.
This 1984 Caprice Estate is now being made available to some very
lucky bidder. The only reason I’m
selling it is because I have my eye on another classic car I found. If it doesn’t sell, I’m perfectly OK with
hanging on to it. I'm in no hurry to
sell it at all. I know what I have so
I'm not willing to "give it away".
This Caprice Estate was never hit and everything is in excellent
factory original condition, including the paint and the "wood" decals. The car honestly looks like a two year old
car. All the power windows and locks, lights,
turn signals, horn, cruise control, gauges, wipers (and squirters) and radio/cassette
tape deck are in perfect working order.
Remember that door buzzer/dinger when you inserted the key? Even THAT works perfectly! No electrical issues at all. The paint (which is 100% factory original,
chrome bumpers (virtually showroom new original condition) chrome trim around the
wheel wells, stainless trim and rubber trim are all in very good to excellent
condition. Roof rack is in like new
condition. No rust or pitting anywhere
on any chrome surfaces. This car handles
beautifully and holds the road nice and straight at 40 MPH or 70 MPH. No pulling at all and is very tight and
responsive. The car tracks straight when
driving and braking. The brakes work
beautifully with no issues at all. This Caprice
rides on a new set of white wall all season radial tires mounted on the
original factory wheels and original wire wheel covers to maintain its original
factory look. The exterior is
incredible! The ALL original cranberry
color still shines like new! It has a
few tiny (and I mean TINY) nicks/blemishes here and there but from 3 feet away,
they aren't noticeable. The floors and frame
as well as under the hood and cargo area and wheel wells are all solid and rust
free with no signs of rust or rot anywhere.
Same for all the door jams and under the doors (see pictures). NO RUST ANYWHERE!! There is no way this car was ever driven in
the winter. There is just some light
surface rust underneath the car, typical for the age of the car. Nothing at all
to worry about. All the glass is
perfect. No chips or cracks anywhere. All the doors open and close effortlessly,
just as new and all the door jams look new as well. NO RUST anywhere here.
But that’s just the beginning!
The stunning interior is absolutely breathtaking and 98% original! I had a new headliner and sun visors
professionally installed ($750) using OEM matching color and material. Looks awesome! Nothing has been modified or “cut up” in any
way. It looks exactly as it did back in
1984 and looks brand new. The
upholstery, door panels, seat backs, carpet, headliner (no sagging, fading or
rips), dash pad (no cracks or fading), chrome and stainless trim pieces are in
excellent to near new condition. This
interior is, for all intensive purposes, in brand new original condition. This Caprice Estate is equipped with the
original AM/FM stereo/cassette with front and rear speakers (which works
perfectly), power steering, power brakes, electric clock (which actually works and
keeps PERFECT time, cigar lighter (works great). The A/C blows cold with no issues. The heat works great with no issues.
This Caprice has the original 305 V8 engine hooked to its original
transmission with overdrive. Both
perform as new. Absolutely no knocking,
smoking or hesitation from the engine and the transmission shifts through the
gears like a new car. No slippage at
all. No leaks anywhere and no burning of
any oil. It’s very smooth with no issues. I brought this car to the Woodward Dream
Cruise last year and “cruised” in 2 hours straight of bumper to bumper traffic
just idling in 85 degree heat and the car didn’t miss a beat. No overheating and stayed in the “normal”
temperature range the whole time. This 1984 Caprice Estate Wagon was ordered with the following equipment. VIN# 2G1AN35H7E9201681

This 1984 Caprice Estate has been lovingly cared for
since new. This is a vehicle that anyone
would be proud of and this car is wonderful to drive. It turns heads everywhere it goes. I get more looks for this car than any other
classic car I have owned and I have had quite a few. It brings back so many memories for so many
people. It took me YEARS to find this
car in this condition. They simply don't
exist anymore.
I see no reason why the winning bidder couldn’t fly in
and drive this vehicle home to anywhere in the country.
As everybody knows, nothing is perfect. The paint has a couple of small chips as I mentioned earlier (see pictures) here and there but are hardly noticeable, unless you get right up on the car. There is one small ding on the right rear quarter panel which you really have to look for as well as a tiny ding on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable. The rear bumper fillers need replacing. I have already purchased the parts so they will be included with the sale of the car. The front door arm rests are starting to "lift" a bit as you can see in the pictures. Power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?
Fri, Jul 21 2017General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
GM Canada recalls 159,240 GMC and Chevy trucks for faulty defroster circuit
Fri, Jul 12 2019General Motors is recalling more than 159,000 2014-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks in Canada due to a potential fire risk. GM says the rear defroster circuit could overheat on trucks optioned with the power-sliding rear window. Thus far, there is no word on the recall's relation to U.S. vehicles. The recall, found by Automotive News, was posted to Transport Canada on June 28, 2019 with manufacturer recall No. N192220470. Included in the 159,240 vehicles are the 2014-2018 Silverado 1500, the 2015-2019 Silverado HD, the 2014-2018 Silverado LD, the 2014-2018 Sierra 1500, the 2015-2019 Sierra HD, and the 2014-2018 Sierra LD. The notice says the rear defroster circuit, specifically on trucks with the power-sliding rear window, could overheat. Because of its placement, this excess heat could cause melting, smoking, or possibly fire, in the worst case scenario. As of now, there is no official word when GM will initiate the recall and there is no official fix detailed just yet. GM suggests that owners, who will be notified by mail if their vehicles are affected, take their trucks to a dealer to remove the rear window defroster fuse as a stop-gap. Automotive News contacted GM to find out if the problem is also found in trucks sold in the United States, but no definitive statement was made, as the investigation is reportedly ongoing. We will update this space if American vehicles are found to be included in the problem.
