FIRST AND FOREMOST, this is a PROJECT VEHICLE. It needs very little to be running and driving but is not currently roadworthy as it sits. Additionally this is a salvage yard rescue so all information about the car came to me via the previous owner. As such I cannot personally attest to specifics beyond what I can physically verify. Finally, there are MANY service vehicle parts included in the sale that either didn't come with the car or were removed when it was taken out of service. If the buyer were to sell these items individually they'd basically cover the car at the starting price. I personally wanted to build it as a Cannonball Rally car blacked out like an unmarked but lack of space and too many projects are forcing sale. 

NO RESERVE! NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED!
BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP OR SHIPPING! AVAILABLE AS IS WHERE IS!
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!

1990 CHEVY CAPRICE
Legitimate 9C1 Police Package. Originally used by California Highway Patrol. I'm assuming it was used as a special duty vehicle as it came with a full interior and there's no visible evidence of a cage. Body has very little rust and is pretty straight save for a few minor imperfections. Needs bumper fillers front and rear but don't they all? Frame has some scale (being from CA it left the factory minus undercoating) and a small soft spot near the rear bumper bracket but nothing major. The floors are very solid but do have a couple of significant dents in the rear foot-well where the car was picked up with the loader. Shouldn't be anything a little bit of banging can't fix (pictured). The interior is complete minus headliner and seats but a pair of leather front buckets from a Subaru Legacy Sport are included. The previous owner had installed a set of Recaros from a Mitsubishi Evo so bucket seat brackets and adapters are already mounted in the car. Car comes with a clear MA title signed by the previous owner to leave it open. Those of you who live anywhere near MA know that these titles might as well be golden.

DRIVETRAIN & SUSPENSION
This car originally came with a 350 that was Throttle Body Injected. The motor has been replaced with a low mileage (80-some-odd thousand) 305 4 Barrel out of a 1985 Monte Carlo. Though I can't verify the mileage and haven't heard it fire, the motor turns freely and has good compression. The only things needed for it to run are a distributor (HEI unit included but not installed (pictured in trunk)), exhaust manifolds (also pictured in trunk, not installed) and fuel pump. Being that this car was originally TBI it has an electronic fuel pump mounted in the gas tank.  A mechanical fuel pump, pump rod, fuel pump plate, mechanical sending unit and a back up electronic fuel pump are all included (pictured in the trunk, not installed) as well as miscellaneous fuel lines and fittings. The electronic pump will either need to be removed or coupled to a special regulator to use with the carburetor. Overall, I'd say the buyer could have it running through open manifolds in an afternoon. Transmission is a 700R4 OD unit with a shift kit. Finally, the suspension is heavy duty PD issue with large bolt pattern truck axle and front/rear sway bars.

EXTRA GOODIES
Being that I wanted to build a long distance rally type of car and not restore it I gathered a few items that, although not originally for this year/model police car, would really set it off. Included are a genuine Police flood light removed from a Crown Victoria, one medium and pair of small flashers (removed from a newer SUV. Extremely bright), a dual speaker siren with PA feature removed from an ambulance and a CB radio (no antenna though). All these items were tested before removal and are in good working order.

Overall it pains me to see this car go. With some elbow grease and a little bit more money this Caprice would be a mean hot rod well worthy of tearing up the streets. I'd say the car is 90% there but it needs you to put it over the top. I'm very hopeful that its' new owner can make it into the car I dreamed about and enjoy it for years to come! No reserve auction so BID TO WIN!!!!!

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
