1991 Chevrolet Caprice Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Middlefield, Ohio, United States
|
This is probably the last 1991 Caprice 9C6 taxi in existence and is not a police car painted yellow. Sold new at H.B. Chevrolet in Forest Hills, NY , it served in Manhattan until it was required to come off the street due to New York City's taxi age restrictions. It was purchased from the original owner by a taxi collector and has been garaged since 1998 and has only been driven appoximately 4,000 miles since retirement and on nice days only . It is pretty much the way it came out of service with the massive NYC-only taxi bumper guard, meter, bulletproof partition, and roof light . The body and chassis are in good condition and haven't been touched except for occasional maintenance . The LR door has two, minor dents . The air conditioning still has some Freon in it but needs some more for the AC to blow cold but everything is there and hooked up. The music radio works . All the lights work. The tires have good tread but are older. The cab drives well but there is a minor exhaust leak and a transmission tick that both go away when the cab warms up. The brakes have a minor bumping starting so they will need attention eventually . The driver's seat has minor split in the backrest and the glovebox door latch is broken . The meter and speedometer are wired to a toggle switch to prevent a battery drain when parked for long periods. There is a Catwoman talking device but it's not working right now. The roof turn signals work . The headlights , turn signals, horn , wipers, and tail lights work. This cab passed the Ohio E check last fall . For what it is, this cab is in very good condition and it is highly doubtful that any more are still around from any city . For a Chevrolet fan, this is a car that you won't see at any Chevy show and is a unique, super easy restoration project. The pictures speak for themselves.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
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.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
