1989 9c1 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Sedan 4-door 5.7l Tbi / 700r4 A/t Loaded on 2040-cars
United States
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. |

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor
Sat, Apr 30 2016Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts
Wed, Sep 3 2014The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.
