Original no wood white car with grey interior. This car is 1 of 1 built in 1994 with specific options through comp nine VIN decoder. There were approximately 13,000 LT1 powered ‘94-’96 Caprice wagons before they were discontinued in 1996. This is a fine example of the last of the generation. I've owned the car for 3 years and put 5,000 miles on it. I purchased the car to have something to tow my race car to the track and fun to drive on the street. I have since sold my race car and never got to the point of towing with the car. The wagon is visually stock appearing but has had the following upgrades performed since I’ve owned the car and includes all receipts: Engine- All tune-up parts have been replaced on the stock 260 HP 5.7L LT1 engine. Spark plugs, Magnacore plug wires, AC delco O2 sensors, PCV valve, fuel filter and air filter. Lower radiator hose and coolant replaced as well. Cap and rotor replace by previous owner. Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic oil just changed. Car has a performance PCM tune from PCM4Less and runs on 92 octane fuel and uses a 160*F thermostat. Car runs very strong. Exhaust- Full 2.5” mandrel bent catback exhaust system with Pypes stainless steel X-pipe, large case Dynomax “hemi” super turbo mufflers, sedan mandrel bent tail pipes modified for use on a wagon with Dynomax race bullet mufflers used as resonators. Tail pipes exit in stock location and were fabricated to look just like stock but larger diameter. Very quiet with no drone. Transmission- Rebuilt original Street/Strip 4L60E transmission. It has the Beast sunshell, Raybestos pro band and 3/4 Zpak clutches. Borg Warner 29 element sprag, Sonnax super hold OD servo, bushing kit, thrust washer kit, rebuilt pump assembly with .500 boost valve and Sonnax HP pump slide spring, Transgo HD2 valve body kit, all new frictions, steels, gaskets, electronics and filter. Filled with Dextron VI synthetic fluid. A high-end Level III, IV, build etc… that will hold up to 6-700 HP or heavy duty towing. The car has an OEM LT1 Corvette torque converter. Shift points have been reprogrammed for more spirited driving. Rear-end- Rebuilt original 8.5/8.6” rear end with 4.10 gears with an Eaton Truetrac differential and custom made ABS reluctor so the ABS functions. Synthetic fluid and new carrier bearings during set-up. Rear brakes are new. I’ve only taken one highway trip of a couple hundred miles and average 20MPG. Wheels/Tires- Vintage 15” steel wheels for the 5x5 bolt pattern that accept factory dog dish poverty caps. They have been powder coated gloss white and have new 235/75/15 XL load range tires. Very rare dog dish hub caps from ‘63 full size Biscayne or ‘65-66 Nova. They are good driver quality but have some cracks and splits. Suspension- Car has been aligned and has Monroe sensatrac shocks and Airlift air bags have been installed in the rear of the car in anticipation for towing. Misc- The stock headlights have been updated to HID and are 4300K in color like an OEM BMW bi-xenon headlight. The factory air pump has been removed from the car per General Motors Technical Service Bulletin and included with the sale. I’ve run the car through Washington State emissions for local buyers . Front and rear wiper blades also replaced. As far as flaws, the driver’s side carpet has wear. I have custom made over-sized floor mats in the car so the wear is not visible and includes a custom made cargo area mat. There is general light interior wear but shows well as does the exterior. The only mechanical items on the to-do list is a small exhaust leak at the passenger side manifold area at cold start-up and some driveline vibration on the hwy. I have the original owners manual and window sticker as well. Many thousands spent updating the car to be a unique tow vehicle and fun daily driver. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for viewing. Thanks for looking! |

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Meet the mother-daughter team that's worked on almost every Chevy Volt
Sun, May 11 2014It's Mother's Day, and we're soft enough we love our mothers enough to share a new video from General Motors with you. In it, we meet Monique Watson (left) and Evetta Osbourne, a mother-daughter team that works at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly where GM makes the Chevy Volt (along with all of GM's other plug-in hybrids: the Opel Ampera, Holden Volt and Cadillac ELR). The two work side-by-side and have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on almost all of those vehicles - nearly 80,000 of them - since GM started making the pre-production Volts in 2009. In a prepared statement, Watson said that she likes working next to her mom, day in and day out, and they the two are totally in sync when it comes to putting the 400-pound, 16.5-kWh packs into the vehicle undersides. They two can also share stories throughout the day, and Watson said, "The arrangement has absolutely improved our relationship." Osborne started working at Detroit-Hamtramck in 1999, Watson since 2006. If you're driving a Volt today, you probably have them to thank for doing a bit of the work putting your car together. See a short video of them in action below. It's Always Mother's Day for Detroit-Hamtramck Duo Mother, daughter install lithium-ion battery pack in nearly all GM electric vehicles 2014-05-08 DETROIT – For Detroit resident Evetta Osborne, every day is Mother's Day. That's because she literally works side by side with her daughter, Monique Watson, at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. They have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on nearly every Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, and Cadillac ELR since production began. In fact, apart from vacation days and an occasional sick day, the mother-daughter duo has installed almost every battery pack since the Volt was in pre-production in 2009. The ELR launched earlier this year. All told – including Ampera – that's more than 80,000 electric vehicles. "We're a good team and our relationship is secondary when it comes to performing our jobs – but it's great to work alongside my daughter, said Osborne, a mother of five. Because the battery packs weigh more than 400 pounds each, automatic guided vehicles – robotic carts that use sensors to follow a path through the plant – deliver them just as the vehicle body structures glide into position overhead. The carts then lift the T-shaped packs, and Osborne and Watson guide them into the chassis and secure each one with 24 fasteners.
GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.
