This is a 1996 Chevy Caprice 9C1. It was originally a municipal vehicle in Elk Grove Village. I am selling it as is. It has the LT1 350 5.7 V8 motor. Power locks works. Trunk pops. This has been my daily driver for almost 5 years. It runs and drives well. It will be a great car for someone that will care for it. I am the second owner.
Things that have been done since 2009. Most done in the past 2 year. • Gas tank from junk yard • Fuel filter • Fuel pump • Fuel pressure regulator • Shocks • Hotchkis four link suspension • Hooker headers and flowmaster super 44s • Pro comp powder coated steel wheels (off-set 2 inches to stick out further than stock) • All new break lines • All new calipers • Relatively new rotors and pads • Wheel bearings • Radiator • Water pump • Heater core hoses • Detroit locker (real locker not true track or other Eaton posi) • Alternator • Idler pulley • 40% tread left on Michelin hydro-edge tires • Optima 6 pack red top battery • Original ignition switch broke. Cheap quick fix by hot-wiring with a switch for ignition on and a button to start it. (Fixable if you buy the parts. The cable snapped between the tumbler and original ignition switch located under the dash above the steering column) • Electric cooling fans are also on a switch - Starter replaced
Things to consider for future repair • Windows need to be glued back onto tracks but all windows will go up and down relatively easy with some manual assistance • Headers leak at heads. I have brand new aluminum chrushable gaskets that will resolve the issue. They will be provided with the car. • Steering has play. I have Hotchkis complete tie rods and end links that will come with the car • Some rust on lower quarter panels behind rear wheels. There are two small spots on the floor that have rusted through. The floor is still very sturdy and the holes can be repaired. Hole inside trunk on the passenger's side where the wheel well meets the trunk. Normal surface rust on frame and spots under the hood for a car with this mileage. • Air conditioning worked last summer. Something malfunctioned so I unplugged the compressor. Should be repairable. • A normal sized stereo will fit into the dash. All wires are there and ready to be hooked up. 1 pioneer speaker in each front door. No rear speakers but there is wiring. |

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
