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. |

New Chevy Malibu helps parents monitor teen driver's performance
Thu, Apr 2 2015For teens, a driver's license can represent freedom. For parents, it can represent fear. Now there's a way parents can alleviate some of their worries and monitor their teen drivers. The 2016 Chevy Malibu, which debuted Wednesday at the New York Auto Show, contains a new feature that tracks driving performance and helps inexperienced drivers rein in some of their more dangerous habits. Accessed through a password in the car's infotainment system, parents can learn how far their child has driven, how fast they've gone and how many times they've braked hard, among other features. "It's an in-vehicle report card that gives parents information," says Mary Ann Beebe, one of the lead engineers who designed the system. "It's meant to be used as a teaching tool. Parents can sit down and talk with their teen about, 'Here are some areas where you're doing well, and here's some where you can use improvement.'" Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens ages 16 to 19, and only last week, AAA released a study that found their driving behavior can leave them particularly susceptible to crashes. General Motors had sought ways to help educate and train younger drivers. In an era where data can be harvested from cars, monitoring performance is one way to provide information. Parents access the Teen Driver system in the car through a PIN-number entered into the Malibu's infotainment system. The report card can only be seen in the car – so far, it's not available via a smartphone app, like some other types of on-board diagnostic information. The system is activated by the use of a specially programmed key fob that lets the system know who is driving the car. Once the vehicle recognizes the key fob, it takes preventive measures to ensure safer conduct behind the wheel: Until the driver and front passenger buckle their seat belts, the radio is muted. Safety systems such as forward-collision assist and electronic stability control are automatically turned on. Parents can preset preferred speed limits, and drivers will hear a warning if that sound is exceeded. "We have these great technologies, and we want to make sure we turn them on for the teen," Beebe said. There are no geo-location aspects of the program, and data is stored on the car, not uploaded to the Cloud or even seen by General Motors, she said.
Let's Drive NYC is GM's car sharing program for the Big Apple
Sat, Oct 3 2015Under a new car sharing program offered by General Motors and others, a New York Minute will cost about 15 cents. GM is working with a luxury-apartment building owner and a parking lot operator to run a car sharing program in Midtown Manhattan. The program is called Let's Drive NYC and it was announced Thursday. Let's Drive NYC is being offered to residents of the Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building near New York's Times Square. The program is being run with the help of Icon Parking Systems, which runs about 200 parking garages in Manhattan where the cars can be parked. GM is contributing eight Chevrolet Trax crossovers and two Chevrolet Equinox SUVs, and the automaker is slated to add more vehicles "later." Residents of the Ritz Plaza, which is owned by Stonehenge Partners, can make "periodic apartment lease payments" and in exchange receive electronic credits for three hours of driving a month. After those three hours are up, the drivers will be charged less than $10 an hour, or as much as $75 a day. The program was piloted earlier this year to some of the apartment's tenants. The program marks the second bit of car sharing news in New York within the past two months. In August, Mercedes-Benz and Smart parent Daimler announced that its Car2go car sharing service would expand into Queens and add about 100 Smart ForTwo two-seaters to the city's program. Car2go made its New York debut in Brooklyn last October and has attracted more than 27,000 members since then. You can take a look at Let's Drive NYC's press release below. GM Unveils 'Let's Drive NYC' Car-Sharing Program NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Running an errand to a big box store or planning a weekend excursion are about to get easier for some Manhattan residents because of a car-sharing program revealed today by General Motors. It's the company's latest move to deliver urban mobility options to customers around the globe. Let's Drive NYC is available to eligible residents of The Ritz Plaza, a 479-unit luxury apartment building at Times Square in midtown Manhattan, owned and managed by Stonehenge Partners. Residents use a GM-developed mobile app to reserve a vehicle and access parking in one of 200 garages throughout Manhattan managed by Icon Parking Systems. The fleet currently includes eight Chevrolet Trax small SUVs and two Chevrolet Equinox compact SUVs, with more vehicles to be added later.
Chevy, Lincoln dealers say they still want sedans
Mon, Feb 17 2020Detroit automakers have famously turned their backs on sedans as they make the strategic bet to double down on money-making trucks and SUVs, but dealers for at least two American brands are giving the companies contrary signals. In separate recent interviews with leading national dealer councils for Chevrolet and Lincoln, Automotive News reports that both brands’ dealers still see a need for cars. The publication published a Q&A interview with Mike Bowsher, chairman of the Chevrolet National Dealer Council, who said Chevy dealers managed to hold onto market share last year despite the phase-out of the Cruze compact sedan and hatchback, thanks to products like the Spark and Sonic subcompacts and the Trax and Equinox crossovers. But, he acknowledged, “We do feel like we could use a car, especially in the low-MSRP range.” The comments follow similar recent comments from Tom Lynch, who chairs the Lincoln National Dealer Council. He told AN, “If weÂ’re not in segments where there is still a good amount of business, I think the company and the dealers lose out.” The Cruze was one of the victims of GMÂ’s November 2018 announcement of plant closures, with production having ceased with the closure of GMÂ’s Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant last year. GM sold 47,975 Cruzes in 2019 but a healthy 142,617 in 2018. At Lincoln, Lynch said the council has been telling the company it needs to stick with the sedan segment, despite plans to kill the MKZ sedan in the coming months and unconfirmed reports that the Continental isnÂ’t long for this world, either, despite the buzz of the suicide-door Coach Door Edition, shown in the photo above. Lincoln sold 17,725 MKZs and 6,586 Continental sedans in 2019, down a combined 15%, but still good for almost 22% of overall Lincoln sales. It's worth noting that Lincoln competes in a luxury segment that still expresses allegiance to four- and two-door cars. Even Cadillac, its cross-town rival, is staying active with the upcoming CT5 and CT4 sedans. Lynch pointed to Tesla as evidence that strong sedan products can resonate with consumers, though he conceded that “What that looks like for Lincoln going forward, IÂ’m not sure of.” For now, anyway, Chevy still offers the Sonic and Spark subcompacts, the latter of which saw sales climb 32.5% in 2019 to 31,281 (Sonic sales fell nearly as steeply).
