For Sale: 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, 9c1 packaged, max-optioned. COMPLETELY RUST FREE IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CONDITION. Description: This is the last of the great Caprices. It has the complete 9c1 package, including the full-size spare, mounted in the trunk, jack and lug wrench. It has the green silicone hoses, over-sized radiator, transmission cooler, over-sized sway bars, front and rear, HD shocks, 15" 5 x 5 steel wheels, 1/2T suspension, heater by-pass valve, R-12 A/C, Tilt, Power Door Locks, Power Windows--everything this car could come with, it has. This car was built in San Antonio, Texas and delivered to the State of California in 1989. It was a detective's car. It has never had spot lights, radio antennas, holes drilled in the dash, or anything else maligning the beautiful, perfectly straight RUST FREE body. I bought the car three years ago from a gentleman in Van Nuys, CA. He had purchased the car from a local school district at auction. His only competition in the bidding was from the principal who had been assigned the car to use in his duties. The car apparently spent most of it's life in a police garage, seldom used and eventually transferred to the Los Angeles County School district. The principal claimed that it was the nicest car he'd ever had, and never had one problem with the car. I bought it sight un-seen and drove it back to Texas, where it has served me well, and continues to serve me as my daily driver. Condition: There is NOT ONE thing wrong with this car. I drive it to work every day. I am selling this caprice because it is a luxury to own it and my work truck. I plan on using the money from the sale of this beautiful car to pay off some of my bills and add on to our home. The 9c1 package is ALL ORIGINAL and AMAZING! All the physical gauges work perfectly. All the "idiot" lights work perfectly. The 350 TBI has not had one thing done to it except regular oil, filter and water changes. It starts up, the first time, every time, hot or cold outside, the car is warm or cool within minutes as dictated by the driver. The car has speed-rated 15" tires which are less than a year old. The power windows all work, at the driver's control panel and on each door. The 125 mph speedo works, all the way to 123 mph. The car does need paint. The original black paint is still on the lower half of the car. Silver with a red pin-stripe was added by the principal some time in the mid-90's. He also added the door-ding rubber trim. This was not original to the car. This is not a repaint. The black is the original patina as the door jam photo clearly shows. The rear deck lid was replaced by myself. I did this because there were two pin-hole rust spots on the forward top corners of the original deck lid. I have never seen spots like this on any Caprice I've owned before, and I have owned many. This is the finest caprice I have ever owned. The car will come with all the bumper filler hardware and a COMPLETE, BRAND NEW SET OF BUMPER FILLER pieces in the boxes, FRONT & REAR! New or Recent: 15" speed-rated tires, radiator flush, oil filter and oil, serpentine belt, Brakes, front and rear. GET IN AND DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY TO ALASKA IF YOU WANT. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THIS BEAUTIFUL, ORIGINAL 9c1 Caprice! Extras: There have been some additions to the car. I have had the transmission cross-member "frenched" and professionally welded to accommodate a professionally installed dual exhaust system, with cats and resonators in their stock locations. The exhaust system on the car utilizes all the original mounts, and still retains the single oxygen sensor. It does not sag down, but is tucked up neatly, completely, under the entire undercarriage. It also has a set of HD air shocks on the rear and a class III receiver hitch with 7 and 5-plug electric trailer hook ups. Also installed is a trailer brake modulator. The car is more than capable of towing 4,000 lbs with a 400 lb tongue weight. I have also had a CD / USB Premiere Stereo System installed. I have the original AM/FM cassette, mounting plate and face plate that will go with the car. I have also up-graded the speakers under the dash and in the rear header panel. You can not tell because I used all the factory mounts for the new speakers. NOTHING was cut to do this, anywhere, and the original wiring harness was NOT cut. The components are all "plug and play," utilizing the original wiring harness cannon plug. I have also added an LS Brougham trunk liner and matting to keep the noise to a minimum. I also removed the original 9c1 seats, (front bench), and installed the LS Brougham velour blue interior you see in the pictures. I have the original 9c1 seats, front and rear, and they will go with the car. They are the 9c1 woven tweed pattern. This is an ORIGINAL Texas car, that spent it's service life in California. There is NO RUST on this beautiful car. This is as solid as they come; you will not find a more solid, more beautifully original JET Black 9c1 anywhere in this kind of condition. The title is IN MY NAME, titled in the state of Texas, currently registered and insured in my name through August of 2016 on my disabled Veteran's Plates. You can write your own bill of sale for your state and we can notarize it together. I will turn the title over to you once the car has been paid for in FULL. The car comes with two complete sets of keys, and all the extras that have been aforementioned. You can fly into Killeen Airport, in Killeen, Texas and I will pick you up in the car. You can drive it ANYWHERE. It will come with a full tank of gas and a fresh oil and filter change, with a complete lube on the front end and drive train. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. This car is only being sold to finance an addition to our home and consolidate some bills. The offer status is set to accept reasonable offers close to my asking price; or you can buy it through Pay Pal. The car is NOT for sale locally. I will sell it for cash, in person. VOICE call or TEXT (254) 368-7399 for additional information. I am retired Army. I am a welder now as a civilian. If I don't answer, I will get back to you as soon as possible. |

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

2018 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists
Wed, Jan 10 2018After months of prepping and several days of testing, we narrowed the field for Autoblog's 2018 Tech of the Year award to the Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, the Lexus LC 500h and its new hybrid powertrain, and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and its trick Multimatic spool-valve off-road shocks. Three very different cars with very different technologies duking it out for the award. Look for news of our winner at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. We hand out this award every year to the technology or feature that we feel moves the bar forward for the automotive industry. Read more here on how our testing process works. We discuss, debate and count up score sheets, judging each vehicle and technology on a few different criteria. Is its purpose noteworthy? Does it work well? Does it advance the industry? The Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist was actually a prototype, as the technology will first debut in the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Still, we're here to test the tech and not the car. ProPilot Assist combines adaptive cruise control system combined with lane-keeping assistance. The system uses sonar, radar and a number of cameras for some light semi-autonomous driving and enhanced safety. While these systems aren't new individually, Nissan's system is affordable, intuitive, and coming to a mainstream product — democratizing the tech in a novel way, if you will. That's why it's here. The Lexus LC 500h uses a new powertrain that Lexus has dubbed the Multi-Stage Hybrid System. Basically it combines two types of transmissions — a CVT and a four-speed automatic — in a single unit mated to a naturally aspirated V6. That's complex and unorthodox technology, and Lexus engineered it to give drivers the efficiency of a CVT without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The package is subtle, working in the background to create a nearly seamless driving experience. It's engaging in a way most other hybrids can only dream of. The fact that it's wrapped in such gorgeous sheetmetal only makes things better. The Multimatic spool valve shocks in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 might seem low-tech compared to ProPilot Assist and the Lexus Multi-Stage Hybrid, but they represent a completely novel application of a technology that several years ago was so expensive that it was reserved for top-tier race cars. Like the LC 500h, these shocks really change your perception of how a vehicle like this should drive.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
