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.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

Recharge Wrap-up: meet the Luka EV project, VisibleTesla allows Model S hacking

Tue, May 12 2015

Select Registry is partnering with Tesla to install chargers at many of its lodgings. More than 170 hotels, inns and bed & breakfasts will install Tesla High Power Wall Connectors for their guests to use. So far, 63 properties have installed the chargers. Eventually, Select Registry members in 34 states as well as Nova Scotia will offer charging on-site. Tesla's wall charger provides the Model S with 58 miles of range per hour. The hotels will rent you a room for the full night, as well. Read more in the press release below. Tesla Model S owners can hack their car with the VisibleTesla app. The free, open source app allows users to check on and control the status of the car and its subsystems, similar to Tesla's official apps. VisibleTesla can also be used to schedule certain automated commands. For example, its creator, Joe Pasqua, has his car send him a text message reminding him to bring his bags with him when he enters the grocery store parking lot. Other users have the car remind them if the car is not charging at a certain time, or schedule the car to turn on the heat before departure. Read more at TechWorm, or learn more at the VisibleTesla website. Georgia Power has added 32 Chevrolet Volts to its fleet. Employees, particularly the utility's energy efficiency experts, will use the cars to travel to customers' homes and businesses to conduct energy audits. "We are leading by example and demonstrating to our customers, and other Georgia businesses, that electric transportation works for all drivers," says Georgia Power Chairman, President & CEO Paul Bowers. Georgia Power also offers charger rebates and special rates for EV customers. Read more at Domestic Fuel. The Luka EV is a project to build an affordable, lightweight, retro-looking, road-legal electric car in one year. The team wants to get the car certified for use on EU roads by September 2015. They have goals of achieving a driving range of 300 kilometers (about 186 miles), keeping the cost under ˆ20,000 (about $22,280 US at current rates) and the weight under 750 kilograms (about 1,650 pounds). The builders recently completed their first range test of the working vehicle, which uses in-hub motors for propulsion. Learn more at the Luka EV project page on Hackaday.
