1992 Chevrolet Caprice Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l Very Low Miles!! on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Okay, Ebay nation, I have had it with Craigslist and all the " I'll bring the money tomorrow" speeches. I have had 3 seperate offers of 2600.00, 2500.00 and 2300.00, never to have heard from the offerees again or the ever popular " hold it for me for one more week". So here it goes- It's a 1992 Caprice with 32,860 original miles. I believe I am listed as the 3rd owner but really the 2nd. I bought it from and elderly couple in south central Pennsylvania. The story as they told me was it was a dealership courtesy car in Virginia, came to an auction house a year later with a little over 12,000 miles and these nice folks bought it. They had it until January of 2013, when I bought it from them with just under 27,000 miles. When I bought the car and took it to my mechanics for state inspection, they advised me to get new tires on the front. They were nearly new with about 90% of their tread still there. My mechanic advised me that the front tires did have plenty of tread depth left but that they were over 10 years old and wouldn't stick to the road that well. This car sat a whole lot of time in their business garage without being used. I also had the replace the complete rear brake assembly: shoes, drums and wheel cylinders which had deteriorated over time from non use. The front tires have less than 6000 miles on them and I just replaced the rears, all matching Kuhmo( I think that's how it's spelled) whitewalls. The rear tires were replaced for this years state inspection and have less than 700 miles on them. New EGR valve, fairly new plugs and wires and serpentine belt. The car runs like a dream. This isn't a guarantee, but you could probably drive cross country and never miss a beat. Has new oil change and coolant was flushed and replaced with new thermostat about 6000 miles ago. I had the A/C serviced last summer and it's cold as ice. Body is straight and paint is clean save for some minor scratches and chips that can't be seen unless you are on top of them. Refer to one of the pictures for a very minor ding on the rear passenger quarter. I removed all the beltline trim as I preferred the smooth look. The interior in nice and clean, no rips on seats and no cracks on dash, door panels or armrests.Carpets are in decent shape. A little dirty at the moment but clean up nice and have a little bit of fading from time.Headliner has zero sag. Seats are not power but manual. Has base am/fm cassette radio that works fine.Nice clean trunk with spare and spare cover. I don't have any pics of the trunk( forgot!) but if you want to see it I will try to accomodate. Engine starts and runs nicely and runs very, very cool. The temp gauge only goes up about a thrid of the way. My wife and I took a trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country in September and we opted to take our Caprice rather than our 2012 Jeep. This is a nice highway car. But alas, we needed a big truck with 4 wheel drive (the Philly region is about to be hit with its 15th snowstorm!) as we swap cars with a son that still lives at home. He was using the Caprice on weekdays and we would use it on weekends but the Caprice is not great in the snow so it's been sitting. I struggled with keeping it because of the low miles but we probably won't use it much, sad to say. So Craigslist didn't yield anyone serious but I hope that if you like the car, that you will follow through with the purchase if you should win the auction. Email questions. I am starting low and letting it go where it will. You may get a great car for a good price. Clear title from PA in my name. If you are in the philadelphia area, you may come over for a look. We can take it for a neighborhood drive but I have to be behind the wheel as I have taken the insurance off and the car now resides exclusively in my garage. Thanks for looking! p.s. The horn stopped working since inspection. Since the car has hardly been used, it may be something minor. I don't think it's a fuse but maybe a contact issue. All glass in good shape. All windows work but the right rear comes back up on an angle and you have to help it by hand. I want to disclose all I know so nobody gets any surprises. Thanks again. p.s.s. I forgot to mention that I have a pair of aftermarket, fiberglass fender skirts that are in the trunk. They are new and will have to be painted but they will add a cool look. I have a pic of one of the skirts included. p.s.s.s. I keep thinking of stuff- I have receipts for all the work done. Receipts are in the glovebox. If you want to know what I had done and breakdown of cost, give me a holler.Had some requests for pics of the engine. I just added 3. I hadn't detailed the engine compartment so you see it au naturale. I did forget to mention that the previous owners had put on a new alternator but I couldn't swear when and had changed the battery at the same time. p.s.s.s.s. I have had a couple questions about the bumpers and molding strips. I did remove them all around. The bumpers are in decent shape with the paint being duller on the bumpers. The rear bumper has a slight crack behind the license plate.By the way, the winner will win by friday night. My wife and I will be away friday til sunday afternoon. But I will try to contact winner via the hotel computers(I don't own a laptop, I'm too cheap to buy one!).

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.  Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
One of the world's largest muscle car museums is auctioning off its cars
Mon, Jan 11 2021Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City is one of the biggest collections of high-performance American cars in the world. With over 200 cars of mostly GM makes, it's a mecca for fans of the golden age of Detroit iron. Unfortunately, the museum will be shutting its doors for good on Jan. 17 and auctioning off most of its assets with no reserve. The collection is, to put it bluntly, astounding. Advertised as a combined 65,000-plus horsepower, it occupies a 60,000-square-foot retail space in Punta Gorda, Fla., in a former Walmart store. It make sense when you learn that founder Rick Treworgy made his fortune in the commercial real estate business. As a hobby, he began to amass a truly jaw-dropping collection of muscle cars, filling out a collection that often has every year of a particular model represented, or a grouping of the rarest and highest-performance option packages of that year or model. Often, Treworgy bought placeholders while scouring the country for even rarer versions. It helps that Muscle Car City also houses a showroom where unwanted cars are sold, as well as its own speed shop that stocks plenty of parts. There's even a '50s-style diner called Stingray's Bar and Grill. According to a 2014 episode of Car Crazy, Treworgy has 80 Corvettes alone, more than the actual Corvette Museum. Among them are 20 models from 1967, one of Treworgy's favorites. The rest span the decades from 1954 (he once had a '53 but sold it) to a recently acquired 2020 C8, which, according to The Drive, has only 300 miles on the odometer. You like Impalas? There are models of every year from 1958 to 1969. El Caminos? He's got 'em from 1964 to 1972. Novas? Every year from 1963 to 1970 is represented. Most are the more desirable examples of each breed, with four-speed transmissions, the biggest blocks, and unicorn option packages like a factory 1965 Z16 SS396 Chevelle, one of 200 that were ordered off-menu at Chevy dealerships. And don't even get us started on the Camaros, which include not one, but two COPO 1969s. Treworgy even owns the only known surviving example of a 1936 Chevrolet Phaeton, of which only seven were built. On top of it all, many of these cars are concours quality and have won awards at prestigious car shows. While it's sad to see a collection like this broken up, Treworgy told The Drive that he'd been planning to retire next year anyway. However, the COVID-19 pandemic sped up those plans, greatly reducing the number of visitors to his museum.
Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
