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. |

Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500
Sun, May 3 2015As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies
Sat, Jun 27 2015Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
