Up for sale is a one family owned 1989 Chevy Caprice, 4dr 305 V8 sedan. My parents bought this new with 23 miles on the clock, it now has 306004, and it's had quite a life. Bought in Texas, it's never seen snow, just a few hurricanes. Was driven by Mom until 1995 when they got a minivan, then Dad drove it (alot) until 2004 when it was my turn. It was driven daily until the spring of 2009 when the trans finally decided to take a break, it has since been rebuilt and has less than 800 miles on it, brand new torque converter. After that we decided to start refreshing and rebuilding it, has new carpet, headliner, the front seats are a salvage yard find hence why they don't match color-wise. We replaced the wiring harness around this time and since then it hasn't really started, we think the problem's either at the alternator or starter. The engine had valve stem seals done at around 225XXX miles, when it starts, this motor will either idle like a champ or throw you back in the seat and break the back end loose in a jiffy, lots of life left in it. The car is all original, I'm pretty sure its even sitting on the same shocks it rolled off the line with (Dad was good about oil and filters and batteries, but thats about it) so the suspension sags a little but still incredibly glass smooth. The body has a few small surface spots on it, I tried to get pictures of all of them, the front grill and nosepiece are also salvage yard finds after a small accident I had, all it did was take out the headlight and crack the plastic. It's been an awesome car to have and drive but Dad's getting busier with work and I'm fixing to move out of state. With a little work this would be a great candidate for a restoration, daily driver, or even a sleeper, which is what I kinda had in the back of my mind.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala
Fri, May 23 2014Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
