95 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Cruiser LT1 (Corvette/Impala SS) Interceptor

You are bidding on a blue 1995 Chevrolet Caprice original 9C1 Police Package, with the 5.7 liter LT1 interceptor (stock Corvette) engine.  Transmission completely professionally rebuilt within this past year, with about 5,000 miles left on warranty.  In fact, I spent more than $4,000 having transmission, new Flowmaster welded dual exhaust (pictures), new radiator, all new rubber, hoses, and maintenance items, new shocks, and more.  I have receipts from certified mechanic facility to show repairs & parts.  This car has been in my family for more than 10 years, driven mostly as a second car, and having been parked for a while when the transmission went out, it has relatively low (127,799) miles for its age. 

Car also has a new Alpine CD/USP/iPod dock stereo in the dash.  Original black steel police rims, with classic Chevy center caps.  This car is a hot theft item (LT1 engine worth $1,000 alone), so I had professionally installed a top of the line Viper LCD 2-Way security alarm with remote start and unlock features ($500) to protect my investment.

Recent Repairs Include:

$2,612

Trans Rebuild (@120,968miles); Torque converter; Wheel sensor; Speed Sensor; Flowmaster mufflers & exhaust system installed

$645

4 New shocks; New belt & New belt tensioner

$500

Viper 2-way remote alarm, w/auto start & unlock

$350

New Radiator, upper & lower hoses

$4,107


There are a few minor mechanical repairs left to do, such as leaking oil cooling line under vehicle (about $100), and power steering fluid leaks.  Passenger side exhaust manifold is cracked.  Brakes and tires are around 50% or so, but not urgent.

Body is all original, with typical police use blemishes in finish.  No collision damage of any kind, but the front bumper cover lower valance is cracked off on the driver side (pictures), and rear bumper cover has scratches and a small gash (pictured).

This is the last of the large frame rear-wheel drive muscle cars, and the powerful Corvette engine and rebuilt transmission provide amazing power and performance.  It is truly a pleasure to drive, with unharnessed power both at take-off and high-end power on the top end on the highway.  There are not many cars that have beaten this Caprice in a friendly drag race, and I love the extra feeling of safety in such a large body and framed vehicle.  Unlike the Ford Crown Victoria or Marauder models, the Caprice Police cruiser has a solid limited-slip differential for better performance and handling.  This package was the inspiration for the Impala SS, which also has all the same extra police engine and enhancements, and they added a nice leather interior, etc.  An Impala SS will cost you $10-15,000.

I’m proud I got the car charged up and solid, and someone else can make it look pretty, or just keep it the way I did as an original police weathered with belt buckle scratches in the paint and holes in the trunk from police antennas.  I took a LOT of pictures, so please check it out thoroughly, and GOOD LUCK!

 

Viper LCD 2-Way Security + Remote Start System

Responder LC3 – the 3rd generation of Responder, complete with SST One Mile Range, the new Priority icons and text seen on a 20% larger liquid-crystal display, an onboard lithium-ion rechargeable battery with mini-USB recharging – all in the slimmest display remote on the market.

Features

·          LCD Screen

·          1 Responder LC3 2-Way and 1 5-button 1-Way

·          Up to 1 Mile Range

Responder LC3 – the 3rd generation of Responder, complete with SST One Mile Range, the new Priority icons and text seen on a 20% larger liquid-crystal display, an onboard lithium-ion rechargeable battery with mini-USB recharging – all in the slimmest display remote on the market.

Combining the best features of Responder with all the “New Technology Platform” advances introduced with the Best of Innovations Award-winning Responder LE, Responder LC3 systems come with one 2-Way LC3 SST one mile range remote and a companion 1-way long range remote.

Responder LC3 lets you command and monitor your vehicle like never before, with our Priority icons – simple and prioritized for easy use - plus clear text labels on the large LCD screen. With the Priority™ User Interface, the five buttons control 24 functions on each of two cars! And with the Priority Icon Map™, the most important icons reside in the center of the large LCD screen, 3 times larger than the less-critical icons positioned on the edges of the screen. It’s undeniably the most sophisticated one mile range LCD remote ever!

In remote start mode, if Active Temp Check is selected, Responder LC3 will display Temperature (in either Fahrenheit or Celsius) instead of the time (the default display). Now you can see the actual temperature inside the vehicle, before walking through the weather to get to it! If it isn’t warm enough inside your car yet, use Runtime Reset to extend your runtime. Don’t worry about forgetting about your car – Responder LC3 reminds you 3 minutes before your time runs out, with an audible tone, a vibration, and on the screen.

If anything happens to your vehicle, Responder LC3 notifies you right away if you are within range, playing the Revenger siren tones from inside your pocket. If anything has happened to your vehicle during your absence, LC3 spells out what happened when you unlock your doors: “Shock Sensor” for example.

Or you can silence your car’s siren and only be alerted on your remote, with Silent Mode2 sirenless arming. Arm your alarm with the door open and Responder LC3 will alert you – audibly and with large readable text: “DOOR OPEN”. Responder LC3 gives you an unprecedented level of control.

Only the important icons are displayed - unused icons disappear from the screen to keep the display clean and simple. “Ghosted” icons – outlined icons only without their typical solid body - indicate that you’ve changed something. For instance, while a solid padlock icon shows your alarm is armed and your doors are locked, an outlined padlock indicates your doors are locked in Valet Mode. The words “Valet Mode” appear to make sure you’re clear on the status of your car.

Some of the many New Technology Platform features incorporated into the system include:

·         XpressPort™ - Dock the Innovations Award-winning CANMAX400DEI databus interface into the Responder LC3 CPU, for a direct digital connection to virtually every new vehicle and databus architecture on the planet

·         D2D Serial Data Port – Gives installers plug-and-play connection to all the other XPRESSKIT interfaces

·         Virtual Tach – No tachometer wire connection required

·         Flex Relays Onboard for Remote Start and Light Flash – eliminates the need for additional relays 80% of the time

·         Control Center – combines the Status LED and Valet Switch with the 2-way Antenna, making the switch easy to locate, and eliminating drilling of any holes in the dash

·         Priority User Interface and Features – including SmartStart™, Timer Start, Runtime Reset, TempCheck and Silent Mode2 siren-less arming modes

Stay in touch with your vehicle at all times with Responder LC3!

Ford also working on 200-mile EV to compete with Bolt, Model 3

Fri, Mar 6 2015

The Chevrolet Bolt is on a lot of people's radars. You may have even noticed friends and colleagues who harbor very little interest in the automotive world, or anything labeled as "green," who have taken notice of a 200-mile electric vehicle coming out of Detroit. Mass appeal is the idea, after all. You can include Ford in the list of interested parties, in this case with the intention of taking direct aim at the Bolt – and, by proxy, the Tesla Model 3 – with an affordable, long-range EV of its own. Ford will unveil its own long-range EV, positioned to compete with Chevrolet, later this year, according to Automobile. Details are very scarce about Ford's plans, but we do know that the Bolt (or whatever the Chevy all-electric hatchback will end up being called) is expected to offer over 200 miles of driving between charges, with a sticker price around $30,000. The other major player, of course, is Tesla's smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S. The Model 3, also slated to go on sale in 2017, should cost less than $40,000. While Tesla has established itself in the EV world, another long-range EV out of Detroit would win some customers from the California-based startup. For now, though, we'll just have to wait, as Ford remains tight-lipped about its plans for the car. Automobile predicts a possible unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, what with California's EV mandate being a driver of strategy for various automakers. Most can agree, though, that a larger field of options – while not ideal for backers of the Bolt or Model 3 – will only benefit the car-buying public.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
