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

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 tiny stone chips on the hood and the paint has some minor blemishes on the hood 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 couple tiny dings on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable and doesn't detract from the look of the car. 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. The power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant
Thu, Oct 22 2015General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.
EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]
Thu, Aug 7 2014It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.
