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. This 1984 Caprice Estate Wagon was ordered with the following equipment. VIN# 2G1AN35H7E9201681

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 tiny stone chips on the hood and the paint has some minor blemishes on the hood 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 couple tiny dings on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable and doesn't detract from the look of the car. 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. The power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
