For Sale:  1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, 9c1 packaged, max-optioned.  COMPLETELY RUST FREE IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CONDITION.

Description:  This is the last of the great Caprices.  It has the complete 9c1 package, including the full-size spare, mounted in the trunk, jack and lug wrench.  It has the green silicone hoses, over-sized radiator, transmission cooler, over-sized sway bars, front and rear, HD shocks, 15" 5 x 5 steel wheels, 1/2T suspension, heater by-pass valve, R-12 A/C, Tilt, Power Door Locks, Power Windows--everything this car could come with, it has.  This car was built in San Antonio, Texas and delivered to the State of California in 1989.  It was a detective's car.  It has never had spot lights, radio antennas, holes drilled in the dash, or anything else maligning the beautiful, perfectly straight RUST FREE body.  I bought the car three years ago from a gentleman in Van Nuys, CA.  He had purchased the car from a local school district at auction.  His only competition in the bidding was from the principal who had been assigned the car to use in his duties.  The car apparently spent most of it's life in a police garage, seldom used and eventually transferred to the Los Angeles County School district.  The principal claimed that it was the nicest car he'd ever had, and never had one problem with the car.  I bought it sight un-seen and drove it back to Texas, where it has served me well, and continues to serve me as my daily driver.

Condition:  There is NOT ONE thing wrong with this car.  I drive it to work every day.  I am selling this caprice because it is a luxury to own it and my work truck.  I plan on using the money from the sale of this beautiful car to pay off some of my bills and add on to our home.  The 9c1 package is ALL ORIGINAL and AMAZING!  All the physical gauges work perfectly.  All the "idiot" lights work perfectly.  The 350 TBI has not had one thing done to it except regular oil, filter and water changes.  It starts up, the first time, every time, hot or cold outside, the car is warm or cool within minutes as dictated by the driver.  The car has speed-rated 15" tires which are less than a year old.  The power windows all work, at the driver's control panel and on each  door.  The 125 mph speedo works, all the way to 123 mph.  The car does need paint.  The original black paint is still on the lower half of the car.  Silver with a red pin-stripe was added by the principal some time in the mid-90's.  He also added the door-ding rubber trim.  This was not original to the car.  This is not a repaint.  The black is the original patina as the door jam photo clearly shows.  The rear deck lid was replaced by myself. I did this because there were two pin-hole rust spots on the forward top corners of the original deck lid.  I have never seen spots like this on any Caprice I've owned before, and I have owned many.  This is the finest caprice I have ever owned.  The car will come with all the bumper filler hardware and a COMPLETE, BRAND NEW SET OF BUMPER FILLER pieces in the boxes, FRONT & REAR!  New or Recent:  15" speed-rated tires, radiator flush, oil filter and oil, serpentine belt, Brakes, front and rear.  GET IN AND DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY TO ALASKA IF YOU WANT.  YOU WILL NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THIS BEAUTIFUL, ORIGINAL 9c1 Caprice!

Extras:  There have been some additions to the car.  I have had the transmission cross-member "frenched" and professionally welded to accommodate a professionally installed dual exhaust system, with cats and resonators in their stock locations.  The exhaust system on the car utilizes all the original mounts, and still retains the single oxygen sensor.  It does not sag down, but is tucked up neatly, completely, under the entire undercarriage. It also has a set of HD air shocks on the rear and a class III receiver hitch with 7 and 5-plug electric trailer hook ups.  Also installed is a trailer brake modulator.  The car is more than capable of towing 4,000 lbs with a 400 lb tongue weight.  I have also had a CD / USB Premiere Stereo System installed.  I have the original AM/FM cassette, mounting plate and face plate that will go with the car.  I have also up-graded the speakers under the dash and in the rear header panel.  You can not tell because I used all the factory mounts for the new speakers.  NOTHING was cut to do this, anywhere, and the original wiring harness was NOT cut.  The components are all "plug and play," utilizing the original wiring harness cannon plug.  I have also added an LS Brougham trunk liner and matting to keep the noise to a minimum.  I also removed the original 9c1 seats, (front bench), and installed the LS Brougham velour blue interior you see in the pictures.  I have the original 9c1 seats, front and rear, and they will go with the car.  They are the 9c1 woven tweed pattern.  This is an ORIGINAL Texas car, that spent it's service life in California.  There is NO RUST on this beautiful car.  This is as solid as they come; you will not find a more solid, more beautifully original JET Black 9c1 anywhere in this kind of condition.

The title is IN MY NAME, titled in the state of Texas, currently registered and insured in my name through August of 2016 on my disabled Veteran's Plates.  You can write your own bill of sale for your state and we can notarize it together.  I will turn the title over to you once the car has been paid for in FULL.  The car comes with two complete sets of keys, and all the extras that have been aforementioned.  You can fly into Killeen Airport, in Killeen, Texas and I will pick you up in the car.  You can drive it ANYWHERE.  It will come with a full tank of gas and a fresh oil and filter change, with a complete lube on the front end and drive train. 

YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.  This car is only being sold to finance an addition to our home and consolidate some bills.  The offer status is set to accept reasonable offers close to my asking price; or you can buy it through Pay Pal.  The car is NOT for sale locally.  I will sell it for cash, in person.  VOICE call or TEXT (254) 368-7399 for additional information.  I am retired Army.  I am a welder now as a civilian.  If I don't answer, I will get back to you as soon as possible.

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.

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model

Tue, Sep 16 2014

Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM uses wind power to build SUVs, trucks

Tue, Oct 9 2018

This week started with a chill, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a dire report with scientists warning, "The world we know today is not the world we will see in 50 years," with temperatures rising at their current rates. In the meantime, the trend toward purchasing more SUVs and crossovers continues. Most automakers, though, have set goals toward more sustainable production. That includes General Motors, which, somewhat ironically, plans to use wind power to produce many of its vehicles, including pickups and full-size SUVs. As the Detroit Free Press reports, several wind farms are coming online to support cleaner production as part of a partnership between GM and energy producer CMS Enterprises. At the beginning of October, the 100-megawatt Northwest Ohio Wind Farm began producing energy, supplying GM operations in Ohio and Indiana, where manufactured vehicles include the Chevy Cruze, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. Hilltopper Wind Farm in Illinois will begin producing another 100 megawatts for GM manufacturing in the region. In Texas, where GM builds the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade, the automaker is getting 50 megawatts from Cactus Flats Wind Farm beginning October 9. Using wind power isn't just about being green, but also for the sake of price stability. As Rob Threlkeld, GM's global manager of renewable energy told the Free Press, "You don't get the price spikes this way, like you do with fuel, and it reduces the environment footprint of the vehicle you're driving." Threlkeld said that renewable energy has already meant "millions of dollars in savings" for GM. GM plans to power all of its global operations with renewable energy by 2050. This week, the automaker was ranked 76 on the EPA's "National Top 100 List" of green manufacturers. It was the only automotive company listed.
