1994 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Wagon 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
North Augusta, South Carolina, United States
Listed is a beautiful Caprice wagon dressed in Light Adriatic Blue/Gray two-tone paint. I'm the second owner and have been since June 2010. The original owner was an elderly gentleman in Florida. After he passed away, his son sold it. Now it has just over 74,000 miles on the odometer. I did not use it as a daily driver. It was mainly used for family trips... Maryland/D.C., Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It is in great condition inside and out for a 20 year old car. The paint is nice and the interior is even better. The dash pad is excellent. It even has the rear cargo light lenses on each side. I have always gotten compliments on the car. But keep in mind, it is NOT perfect. I have replaced the following: *new water pump driveshaft oil seal *new Optispark oil seal *new water pump *new A/C compressor *new condensor *new orifice tube *new accumulator *swapped original AM/FM/Cassette with 1995/96 model Delco AM/FM/CD *new rear axle oil seal *new rear wheel cylinders *new rear brake shoes *new plastic window regulator guides (upper and lower) on both back door windows. All windows function properly at this time. I added a 12 volt power outlet (sourced from a minivan) to each rear panel for the kid's gadgets while they are in the third seat. For full disclosure, here are the flaws as listed below (please see photos): -One small spot of rust on each D pillar down at the corner or the small window. -Passenger-side rear view mirror paint does not quite match rest of car. -The chrome at the top of the grille is weathered. -The driver-side of windshield has some patchy, milky spots along the edge. -Slight dent on passenger-side quarter panel behind the moulding. -Clear-coat is not good on the top corners of the rear bumper. -Various minor nicks and scratches one would normally see on a used car of this age. Payment is by cashiers check that must clear before release of car; or cash in person. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility to arrange and pay for. I will make the car available to the shipping company when they schedule the pick-up. |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 27 2016UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.
