THIS 1996 CAPRICE CLASSIC IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE IMPALA SS , CADILLAC FLEETWOOD AND THE BUICK ROADMASTER OF THE SAME ERA (BUILT WITH THE lT1 ENGINE FOR ONLY 3 YRS 94-96) THIS CAPRICE COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE EXTRA HEAVY DUTY COOLING SYSTEM (CODE#B4U) MEANING FOR TRAILER TOWING PACKAGES) THIS CAPRICE ALSO IS EQUIPPED WITH THE HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION, DUAL EXHAUST, POSI REAR END.

THE WATER PUMP IS DRIVEN DIRECTLY FROM THE END OF THE CAM SHAFT. THE MECHANICAL FAN ONLY OPERATES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LARGE ELECTRIC FAN LOCATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE RAD. THIS COMBINATION COOLING SYSTEM IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON LT1 350S WITH THE B4U CODE.I'VE OWNED THIS CAPRICE FOR 4 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR DEALER WHO HAD IT ON ITS LOT AT QUITE HIGH PRICE. I KNEW THAT NEW CAR DEALERS DO NOT TRY TO SELL 14 YR OLD CARS ON THEIR LOTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. MOST OFTEN THESE CARS ARE WHOLESALED OUT IMMEDIATELY TO USED CAR DEALERS OR GO DIRECTLY TO AUCTION. SO T TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AND FOUND IT TO BE A ONE OWNER VEHICLE AND IN WHEN FOUND IN EASTERN CANADA AND IN THIS GOOD OF SHAPE, KNEW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN VERY GOOD CAR OF IT AND DRIVEN IT SPARINGLY DURING THE PREVIOS 14 YRS (APPROX 6000 MILES PER YEAR AND BY THE SHAPE OF THE CAR KEPT IT GARAGED AND SELDOM WINTER DROVE IT.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS I KNEW HOW RARE AND COLLECTABLE THEY ARE BECOMING AND HAVE OWNED THREE LIKE THIS PREVIOUSLY AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY STRONG AND RELIABLE CARS.I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR APPROX 5000 MILES SINCE BUYING IT AND HAVE ALWAYS STORED IT DURING THE WINTER. ONE WILL ONLY HAV TO SEE THIS CAR AND DRIVE IT TO AGREE IT IS AS GOOD AS I AM REPRESENTING IT TO BE.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
