This amazing “survivor”, all original, numbers matching, 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon WITH the 3rd row "Jump Seat" with less than 63,000 original miles on it has had "technically" a total of 3 owners in its 30 year pampered life, but really, I'm feel I'm the 2nd owner.  The car is an all original car from New Jersey.  The original owners had the car until 2013, gave it to their grandson who had it only a few months.  He didn't want it and decided to sell it to a gentleman that I bought it from, who only had it a couple months himself.  He just bought it to flip and make a little money I believe.  When I bought it, it was still registered in the grandson's name (the second owner).

 

Now, on to the description of this gorgeous vehicle.  This Caprice Estate was never smoked in, was sparingly driven (as I said, it currently has less than 63,000 original miles), lovingly cared for and always garaged since new.  Not only does it look virtually new, it drives like new!  The original owner’s manual is still in the glove box.  Included with the car is the original jack, jack instructions and a brand new full size spare tire.  I have tons of receipts from the original owner validating the mileage which shows all the items done to the car over the years and very recently.  More on that later.

 

This 1984 Caprice Estate is now being made available to some very lucky bidder.  The only reason I’m selling it is because I have my eye on another classic car I found.  If it doesn’t sell, I’m perfectly OK with hanging on to it.  I'm in no hurry to sell it at all.  I know what I have so I'm not willing to "give it away".

 

This Caprice Estate was never hit and everything is in excellent factory original condition, including the paint and the "wood" decals.  The car honestly looks like a two year old car.  All the power windows and locks, lights, turn signals, horn, cruise control, gauges, wipers (and squirters) and radio/cassette tape deck are in perfect working order.  Remember that door buzzer/dinger when you inserted the key?  Even THAT works perfectly!  No electrical issues at all.  The paint (which is 100% factory original, chrome bumpers (virtually showroom new original condition) chrome trim around the wheel wells, stainless trim and rubber trim are all in very good to excellent condition.  Roof rack is in like new condition.  No rust or pitting anywhere on any chrome surfaces.  This car handles beautifully and holds the road nice and straight at 40 MPH or 70 MPH.  No pulling at all and is very tight and responsive.  The car tracks straight when driving and braking.  The brakes work beautifully with no issues at all.  This Caprice rides on a new set of white wall all season radial tires mounted on the original factory wheels and original wire wheel covers to maintain its original factory look.  The exterior is incredible!  The ALL original cranberry color still shines like new!  It has a few tiny (and I mean TINY) nicks/blemishes here and there but from 3 feet away, they aren't noticeable.  The floors and frame as well as under the hood and cargo area and wheel wells are all solid and rust free with no signs of rust or rot anywhere.  Same for all the door jams and under the doors (see pictures).  NO RUST ANYWHERE!!  There is no way this car was ever driven in the winter.  There is just some light surface rust underneath the car, typical for the age of the car. Nothing at all to worry about.  All the glass is perfect.  No chips or cracks anywhere.  All the doors open and close effortlessly, just as new and all the door jams look new as well.  NO RUST anywhere here.

 

But that’s just the beginning!  The stunning interior is absolutely breathtaking and 98% original!  I had a new headliner and sun visors professionally installed ($750) using OEM matching color and material.  Looks awesome!  Nothing has been modified or “cut up” in any way.  It looks exactly as it did back in 1984 and looks brand new.  The upholstery, door panels, seat backs, carpet, headliner (no sagging, fading or rips), dash pad (no cracks or fading), chrome and stainless trim pieces are in excellent to near new condition.  This interior is, for all intensive purposes, in brand new original condition.  This Caprice Estate is equipped with the original AM/FM stereo/cassette with front and rear speakers (which works perfectly), power steering, power brakes, electric clock (which actually works and keeps PERFECT time, cigar lighter (works great).  The A/C blows cold with no issues.  The heat works great with no issues.

 

This Caprice has the original 305 V8 engine hooked to its original transmission with overdrive.  Both perform as new.  Absolutely no knocking, smoking or hesitation from the engine and the transmission shifts through the gears like a new car.  No slippage at all.  No leaks anywhere and no burning of any oil.  It’s very smooth with no issues.  I brought this car to the Woodward Dream Cruise last year and “cruised” in 2 hours straight of bumper to bumper traffic just idling in 85 degree heat and the car didn’t miss a beat.  No overheating and stayed in the “normal” temperature range the whole time.

BID TO WIN!

 

This 1984 Caprice Estate has been lovingly cared for since new.  This is a vehicle that anyone would be proud of and this car is wonderful to drive.  It turns heads everywhere it goes.  I get more looks for this car than any other classic car I have owned and I have had quite a few.  It brings back so many memories for so many people.  It took me YEARS to find this car in this condition.  They simply don't exist anymore.

 

I see no reason why the winning bidder couldn’t fly in and drive this vehicle home to anywhere in the country.

 

As everybody knows, nothing is perfect.  The paint has a couple of small chips as I mentioned earlier (see pictures) here and there but are hardly noticeable, unless you get right up on the car.  There is one small ding on the right rear quarter panel which you really have to look for as well as a tiny ding on the hood.  Again, it’s hardly noticeable.  The rear bumper fillers need replacing.  I have already purchased the parts so they will be included with the sale of the car.  The front door arm rests are starting to "lift" a bit as  you can see in the pictures.  Power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan. Related Video: OPEL GROUP ANNOUNCES GAME-CHANGING AMPERA-e BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR New battery electric vehicle will break down barriers to electric mobility Five-door, five-seat Ampera-e will have longer range than most electric cars Fun to drive, outstanding connectivity and affordably priced Russelsheim. Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.
