 Up for Auction is a 1987 Caprice Estate wagon with 33,000 original miles.  It is a one elderly owner car that was always garaged until recently. The pictures tell the story and attest to the  condition of the car. Has all options except a power seat and wire wheel hubcaps.  The condition of the car is excellent for the year and the car drives as a 33,000 mile car should (extremely tight). The interior is in really nice shape and has not been used to haul construction supplies, kids, or store all ones worldly possessions.  The body is very straight and clean, all mouldings , wood grain and paint are in really nice shape.  The tires are in nice shape car and there are no flat spots. The engine compartment is very clean and undercarriage is solid with surface dirt and no rust..If you missed 1987 and are looking to add a really nice  car to your collection this is it!!  There are not many 80's Caprice wagons left in this condition. The contrast of the Blue paint against the woodgrain is striking in direct sunlight. The car glows I would evaluate the car in detail as follows:

1. Excellent Garage kept low mileage original car
2. Body is really straight with one small indentation on the right front fender that can be pushed out without any bodywork, Roof is straight , tailgate is straight. No rust on body
3. The paint has been touched up and freshened in spots. It shines and looks really good even up close. Much better than driver quality and certainly better then the original paint it left the factory with as this color tended to dull right away with GM's paint
4. Wood grain is in really Great shape with a small nick in it here and there but hardly noticeable. It still shines and HAS NOT BEEN over waxed to a point where it is faded It appears at one time in its life the left front fender and door had the woodgrain replaced. It was done with the original material (NOT AFTERMARKET).
5. The Trim is in great shape. There is pitting on the tail light bezels and some pitting on the roof rack chrome.  It all shines really nicely and does not take away from the car.
6. The bumpers are in nice shape with the exception of 2 minor imperfections. 1 The right front bumper pad was scraped and the rear bumper is lightly discolored in the passenger side corner on top from the exhaust.
7. Interior is super nice and the nap on the material on the seats and door panels still sparkles in the sun and appears fresh. The carpet is original and in great shape. The floor mats are original GM and had plastic floor mats over them so they are in great shape, The cargo area is really nice and appears to have never carried anything other than groceries. The Third seat appears to have never been used. The side cargo panels are original and have no scrapes. The tailgate inner plastic trim is in great shape with one small scrape and  2 small screw holes where a PBA sign was fastened, The imperfections  in the interior are as follows:

A. Dash pad has 2 cracks
B. A medal was glued to the right clear plastic over the instrument cluster. It clouded the plaitic to the very right
C. There are 2 1/8  of an inch burn holes in the drivers seat from a sloppy mechanic. (VERY VERY SMALL. Car does not smell like it was smoked in! )
D. 2 of the strap pull inserts were missing on the drivers door panel. I made 2 with the extra headliner material. Not noticable look at the pictures.
E. Missing a cap on the radio knob and a cap on the heater knob
F. A piece of carpet in the cargo area behind the rear seat became unglued and now is misplaced

8. Hubcaps have a few minor dents

9. Air conditioning is still R12 and blows warm.

10. Radio does not work.

In conclusion this car is in REALLY REALLY NICE SHAPE!!!  I am extermly critical in my evaluation but am doing this as pictures tend not to tell the whole story and it is difficult to buy a car online without seeing it in person..  It would not take much to make this a top show winner.  It is a garaged low mileage car.


I am selling a few cars out of my collection.  This is a beautiful looking and driving car. Own a piece of automotive history.

Special note:  You are welcome to see and drive the car. If you don't live close to this location I welcome any appraisers or professional evaluators. Please feel free to ask any or all questions about the car prior to the end of the sale.  If you are not comfortable with buying a car online and might have buyers remorse or are a car flipper and your sale falls through after you buy a car  and look for any excuse to negate the sale please enjoy looking at the pictures but PLEASE DO NOT BID on this car!!! I have 100 percent feedback and intend to keep it that way.

I have represented this car honestly, objectively and fairly. I want everyone involved in this transaction to be happy at the end of it.  I can be reached at 908-458-386

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.
