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.

BID TO WIN!

 

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.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."
