Up until two weeks ago when I bought an SUV, this was my daily driver for 4 YEARS. I no longer need it, so it's your chance to own it! You are bidding on a solid, smooth running and driving car that you can depend on. Originally purchased in 2009, it has been very well maintained. We installed the replacement engine ourselves in 2010. Nothing was overlooked, and the job was done right the first time. The transmission was replaced with a remanufactured (better than rebuilt) unit the same year. There is over $2,500 invested in the engine and transmission replacement alone. Not to mention 100% NEW AIR CONDITIONING *EVERYTHING* was replaced ($1,200 in A/C parts). Condenser, evaporator, orifice tube, accumulator/drier, all seals, NOS Harrison compressor charged with R-134a and properly lubricated with PAG oil, blower motor resistor, mode door vacuum switch, and more) All shocks were replaced, including rear adjustable air suspension.
5.7L 350 Fuel-injected V8 - 4L60 (700R4) Automatic Transmission - ABS brakes - Factory specs (200+ horsepower, 300+ ft-lbs torque, 3.23 rear axle ratio)
Only 20,000 miles on new transmission! (Installed 2010)
Only 80,000 miles on 5.7L engine! (Installed 2010) This engine came from an all original 1990 Chevy Suburban V2500 with 60,000 original miles. I was able to hear it run before buying it from the owner. He just got back from a cross-country trip from California to Pennsylvania with THIS TRUCK and was embarking on a major project to convert it to diesel power. He had a 6.2L Diesel at the ready to install after he took this engine out. I cannot stress enough that this is an excellent motor. It runs very smooth, quiet, and moves this wagon around with ease. For those of you not familiar with these engines, they came in 2 bolt and 4 bolt main bearing versions. Being a truck motor, this is the heavy duty, 4 bolt main. In short, it's the upgraded version.
Good tires! Matching set of Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's with a nice amount of tread left! (Purchased and installed in 2011)
Completely up to date on all maintenance, including these recent upgrades:
Alternator (2013), power steering pump (2010), water pump (2010), radiator (2010), fan clutch (2012).
Fresh tune-up! Oxygen sensor, throttle position sensor, 8mm wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, PCV valve, idle speed and timing verified at specification. (2013)
Preventative maintenance done Fall 2010. I stress PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE because this engine ran perfectly to begin with, but I felt more comfortable investing a little extra time to replace these crucial internal components while the engine was accessible on a stand instead of waiting for the inevitable when it's in the vehicle. This is what I mean by "Done right the first time." New motor mounts, new transmission mount, Intake manifold gasket set, Throttle body gasket set, Valve cover gaskets, Oil Pan gasket, Timing Cover gaskets, Melling High Volume oil pump w/ new sump and screen, New timing set (chain, cam gear, and crank gear), thermostat and lifetime gasket, oil pressure switch, vacuum hoses, etc.
100% NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM as of Summer 2012 (this alone costed $1,200.00)
New front end work all done as of April 2013 (Brakes, calipers, rotors, wheel bearings, seals, idler arm, and alignment)
New front sway bar bushings and end link assemblies, LF ABS brake sensor. (Summer 2011)
All new shocks, rear brakes, new parking brake cables. (Summer 2012)
New fuel pump and sending unit (Fall 2012).
Over $6,000 invested. This car is absolutely worth the money. It was used as my daily driver for the past 4 years, and I am selling since I purchased an SUV a few weeks ago. I no longer need this car and can certainly use the money it will bring. In turn, you will get a practically turn-key Caprice wagon that needs no major repairs. Of course, it's not a brand new car and it's always going to need a few little things here and there along with regular maintenance.
- For example, I removed a small section of carpeting on the front passenger's side when my old heater core sprung a leak. The antifreeze soaked the carpet underneath and there was no way to get it completely clean. So, the best thing to do was to quickly remove the section in order to stop it from wicking throughout the entire carpet. I have a large, heavy rubber mat that fits in place of the missing carpet.
- The radio works, but the cassette player does not.
- Dash pad has two hairline cracks in it that just developed over this past winter. (I've heard it's a common issue with these)
- Custom exhaust work was done in Spring 2011 for a true dual setup. The left (driver's) side recently developed a slight exhaust leak.
That's it! If you're looking for a brand new car, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't a brand new car, but then again, there hasn't been a brand new Chevy Caprice wagon since 1996! An overwhelming majority of these wagons have been beat into the ground, neglected, and driven until they wind up rusting out in someone's backyard or the junkyard. THIS IS NOT A RUSTBUCKET. IT IS THE REAL DEAL. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED.
This is the closest you're going to come to buying one of these wagons that runs and drives well, extra clean, has all the major work ALREADY DONE, and LEAST LIKELY TO GIVE YOU ANY PROBLEMS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SO LONG AS YOU KEEP UP ON THE MAINTENANCE. A new transmission, original replacement GM engine, 100% new A/C, along with the above description are key attributes that SET THIS WAGON APART FROM THE REST OF THEM. Don't let the original odometer reading of 210,000 miles discourage you. This wagon is in better condition than any of your average Roadmaster, Caprice, or Custom Cruiser models, LT-1 or not, with half the amount of miles on them as compared to mine!
I repeat, this is a private sale and you'll be dealing directly with me the entire time. I'm not a dealer, selling this car for someone else, or anything of that sort at all. I stand behind each and every word, picture, and term of this sale with full intentions to sell to the highest bidder. I HAVE THE CLEAR, PA TITLE IN MY HANDS. Car will not be released and Ownership will not be transferred until the balance is paid in full and clears my account. If you intend to have this car shipped to you, please notify your desired shipping company of my ZIP code (19116) for the best estimate possible. You can also fly in and drive it home. If you plan on having it towed, it must be done using a flatbed tow truck. These cars are too large and too heavy (4,500 lbs.) to risk using any other system except a flat bed. You are responsible for all shipping, title, registration, insurance, and any other expenses incurred with the sale.
I will be available to answer any questions you have during the auction. If you are unsure of ANYTHING, please call me before bidding. Per eBay policy, your bid enters you into a legally binding agreement with eBay, me, and you. A winning bidder who does not agree to carry out their part of the transaction forfeits their deposit in full. See payment instructions for deposit timeframe and other information.
Call me for specific questions. 484-483-3310
Transaction to be completed in cash, in person. If that is not possible, you may only send a bank check from a major U.S. bank. If you bring a check, you will not get the car released in your name unless the funds clear my bank. Deposit must be submitted as soon as possible after auction ends. Buyer responsible for all shipping and pick-up arrangements.
On Jul-28-13 at 21:37:07 PDT, seller added the following information:30 minutes left, so place your bid! If you happen to bid the same amount as another person, the earlier bid does take priority per eBay policy. It really does matter to bid early, so don't let this wagon slip away. I will be logged on until the auction expires for any last minute questions.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix. Related Video: GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 1,283,340 older sedans and coupes in the U.S. from the 1997 to 2004 model years because drops of oil may be deposited on the hot exhaust manifold through hard braking, which can cause engine compartment fires. GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con
Tue, Jul 22 2014When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.
Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts
Wed, Sep 3 2014The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.
