I am the second owner.
This car has NOT , repeat NOT....been in a collision or hit in any way.
It was bumped into something in the front corner by the previous owner at very low speeds. You can see the damage in the pics.
This is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL, starting, running and driving Caprice.
I took great care of it for the three years that I owned it and worked on making it more reliable as well as smooth and quiet.
**I PUT COUNTLESS HOURS INTO THIS CAR AND OVER 1300$ IN NEW PARTS!!! **
It starts perfectly, and runs amazing and stops great.
It's a very comfortable, quiet, warm, roomy luxury car and is a fantastic daily driver.
The heater is very hot and the fan is new and works perfectly.
You can haul 5-6 people quite comfortably if you want to.
When I bought this car it belonged to an older lady who had stopped driving it and garaged it.
I am the second owner.
I wanted to make sure that I could not only commute with this car reliably but also travel long distances without having to worry about break-downs or failures.
I started to replace every part I could on the car whether or not it had failed so that I wouldn't have to worry about it.
Here is a list of what I replaced with NEW PARTS.
All parts are lifetime warranty parts if they were available.
Radiator
Radiator cap
Thermostat
Water pump
Air cleaner
Breather filter
Battery
Pcv valve
Fan clutch
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Distributor cap and rotor
Fuel filter
Fuel pump
Alternator
Starter
All the belts
Both Radiator hoses
Heater blower motor
Shocks
Timing chain and gears
Headlights
Headlight switch
I also replaced the stereo with a Kenwood deck and some decent 6x9's in the rear as well as adding a nice aftermarket steering wheel.
You will never drive another car with a Quadrajet that runs like this one. Everyone likes to talk smack about how bad they are, but I'm telling you. . . this thing runs PERFECT. It's like fuel injection... not a single flat spot or problem. It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL smooth running carb.
There are a few problems with the car that you should know about:
-The interior is not perfect. It's used. It isn't trashed, but it's been lived in.
-The dash has cracks in the top of it.
-The tires are ready to be replaced.
-The headliner is gone. . . It was falling down and I have removed it.
-The paint is not perfect. I really needs to be worked over good with some rubbing compound and then waxed. I am confident a lot of the dullness is just dead paint and oxidation that will come right off with some work.
-There are three spots of body damage: (THIS IS NOT FROM BEING HIT. THESE ARE LOW SPEED IMPACT MARKS! )One is the front corner by the headlight. It needs a new corner, NOTE: The header panel and quater panel are not damaged. Its just the corner. It looks as though the previous owner bumped into a pillar or something at low speed with this corner.
-The second is a small dent in the passenger rear quarter panel . In the picture you can see some surface rusts spots as well. This is from when a dog ran into the side of the car at high speed while chasing another dog... it happened while i was driving... it was NOT from an impact with something hard. It cracked the paint and popped the marker light out of the housing but the dent is very small in the actual body panel itself. Its mostly just the paint cracks that you will notice.
-the third is on the passenger side rear door has a small crease where it looks like the previous owner opened the door into something hard edged. It put a crease in the lower 1/4 of the door.
all are pictured here. Please look carefully at the pictures.
-I noticed that the brake lights have gotten glitch and sometimes work and sometimes don't. I haven't had a chance to look at them and see what is going on yet.
-When I got the car the bearing in the Air conditioning compressor was squeaking so I removed the belt and compressor so that I could replace them at a later date at my convenience.
I have a BRAND NEW IN THE BOX Air Conditioning compressor, new receiver dryer, new accumulator and new A/C belt all ready to go on the car but have not installed them yet. This will go along with the car if you buy it.
-There is a spot on the vinyl top behind the rear passenger door that was repaired by the previous owner. Poorly. Its stained a different color and is very rough. You can see details in the photos. HOWEVER... the rest of the top is in GREAT shape.
-The rear window defroster does not work. I have never investigated to see if it was a switch, or wiring issue.
This car has been perfectly reliable and wonderful to live with. It breaks my heart to sell it, but I have bills that need to be paid.
I had intended to drive this car on vacation to see friends all over the country and keep it for the rest of my life. . . this was going to be my lifelong project car.
I would not hesitate to leave with it for anywhere you want to go today. You could drive coast to coast in this car. . . it is fantastically reliable and very comfortable.
One of the reasons I bought this car in the first place is that I have worked on enough cars to know what is easy to maintain and what is not.
This car is a breeze to work on, and dirt cheap to maintain. . . you can do everything yourself and parts are available everywhere. I will even throw in a spare used alternator and spark plug wires, and belts with the car in case anything ever goes down on the road. (Like I said, all the parts are new but stuff happens)
I also will throw in a brand new set of rear shocks that I tried but where a little stiffer than I liked. If you plan on carrying heavy loads in the car, you could install these shocks. They have been installed and run for only a week.
Go anywhere you like in absolute luxury, in classy American style without fear of break downs!

Shipping/transportation can be discussed with me Via Email or phone... I will work with you, but I would prefer that you come pick up the car... if you need to drive it back to Alaska... It can do it.
Buy with confidence... this car will NOT need a trailer.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
