1992 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 5.7l on 2040-cars
Pleasant Hill, California, United States
This 1992 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon is an exceptionally clean, low mileage, original condition vehicle that has been meticulously maintained during my ownership. Being a California vehicle all it's life it has ZERO rust (note pictures). It is equipped with the tow package, A/C (blows ice cold), rear facing jump seat, dual opening tailgate (folds flat and opens sideways) and power everything (windows, dual power seats, cruise control, door locks, electric antenna, rear window opener, etc). It has been fueled with 91 Octane only and receives oil changes every 5,000 miles with Pennzoil Semi-synthetic. It rides smoothly, steers tight and straight down the road and brakes confidently with power front disc brakes. It's also extremely quiet and recently passed California smog with ease. The engine is the optional 5.7-liter 350 cu-in V8 that runs perfectly, burns no oil, and delivers a solid 16 mpg around town and around 23 mpg on the interstate (400 + mile range). The 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission also shifts perfectly and doesn't leak a drop. I am the second owner of this wagon purchasing it with 58,248 miles on the odometer. It now has 80,400 miles with the majority coming from interstate driving.
The interior of this wagon is in exceptional condition for it's age. I would rate it a solid 8.5 out of 10. Front and rear seats are extremely comfortable and still offer good support, as does the rear facing jump seat. The rear seats also fold flat allowing for cargo space that rivals most pickup trucks. For example a 4'x8' sheet of plywood lies flat. The exterior exhibits normal wear and tear for a older wagon with a few small parking lot dings, but is honestly in outstanding shape. The tires are Kumho Solus KS21 in size 235/70/15 and are also in good shape. Recent service items completed within the last 10,000 miles include: - Complete brake job front and rear, with full fluid flush, new front rotors and pads, new master cylinder and reservoir and new shoes. - Front wheel bearings repacked with new seals - New idler arm - Full transmission flush and service - New Monroe shocks front/rear - New water pump - New fuel pump w/ new fuel filter - Brand new radiator with built in oil/transmission cooler (tow package option) - New Thermostat - New Distributor Cap & Rotor - New air filter Mechanically, this Caprice Wagon needs nothing except a new driver and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across country at a moments notice. The only items that do need addressing (if you choose) are the rear windows (the track grommets need replacing) and the rear defroster is inoperable. Aside from that you are looking at one of the cleanest GM B-body long-roof wagons out there. I encourage you to ask as many questions as you wish, as you will get honest answers I assure you. Shipping of this vehicle (if need be) and pick-up are the sole responsibility of the buyer, however I will help coordinate if necessary. I also encourage people to contact me so as to make an appointment to view this vehicle in person as you won't be disappointed. |

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.
