1990 Chevrolet Caprice 9c1 Police Package on 2040-cars
Tiverton, Rhode Island, United States
|
FIRST AND FOREMOST, this is a PROJECT VEHICLE. It needs very little to be running and driving but is not currently roadworthy as it sits. Additionally this is a salvage yard rescue so all information about the car came to me via the previous owner. As such I cannot personally attest to specifics beyond what I can physically verify. Finally, there are MANY service vehicle parts included in the sale that either didn't come with the car or were removed when it was taken out of service. If the buyer were to sell these items individually they'd basically cover the car at the starting price. I personally wanted to build it as a Cannonball Rally car blacked out like an unmarked but lack of space and too many projects are forcing sale.
NO RESERVE! NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED! BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP OR SHIPPING! AVAILABLE AS IS WHERE IS! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING! 1990 CHEVY CAPRICE Legitimate 9C1 Police Package. Originally used by California Highway Patrol. I'm assuming it was used as a special duty vehicle as it came with a full interior and there's no visible evidence of a cage. Body has very little rust and is pretty straight save for a few minor imperfections. Needs bumper fillers front and rear but don't they all? Frame has some scale (being from CA it left the factory minus undercoating) and a small soft spot near the rear bumper bracket but nothing major. The floors are very solid but do have a couple of significant dents in the rear foot-well where the car was picked up with the loader. Shouldn't be anything a little bit of banging can't fix (pictured). The interior is complete minus headliner and seats but a pair of leather front buckets from a Subaru Legacy Sport are included. The previous owner had installed a set of Recaros from a Mitsubishi Evo so bucket seat brackets and adapters are already mounted in the car. Car comes with a clear MA title signed by the previous owner to leave it open. Those of you who live anywhere near MA know that these titles might as well be golden. DRIVETRAIN & SUSPENSION This car originally came with a 350 that was Throttle Body Injected. The motor has been replaced with a low mileage (80-some-odd thousand) 305 4 Barrel out of a 1985 Monte Carlo. Though I can't verify the mileage and haven't heard it fire, the motor turns freely and has good compression. The only things needed for it to run are a distributor (HEI unit included but not installed (pictured in trunk)), exhaust manifolds (also pictured in trunk, not installed) and fuel pump. Being that this car was originally TBI it has an electronic fuel pump mounted in the gas tank. A mechanical fuel pump, pump rod, fuel pump plate, mechanical sending unit and a back up electronic fuel pump are all included (pictured in the trunk, not installed) as well as miscellaneous fuel lines and fittings. The electronic pump will either need to be removed or coupled to a special regulator to use with the carburetor. Overall, I'd say the buyer could have it running through open manifolds in an afternoon. Transmission is a 700R4 OD unit with a shift kit. Finally, the suspension is heavy duty PD issue with large bolt pattern truck axle and front/rear sway bars. EXTRA GOODIES Being that I wanted to build a long distance rally type of car and not restore it I gathered a few items that, although not originally for this year/model police car, would really set it off. Included are a genuine Police flood light removed from a Crown Victoria, one medium and pair of small flashers (removed from a newer SUV. Extremely bright), a dual speaker siren with PA feature removed from an ambulance and a CB radio (no antenna though). All these items were tested before removal and are in good working order. Overall it pains me to see this car go. With some elbow grease and a little bit more money this Caprice would be a mean hot rod well worthy of tearing up the streets. I'd say the car is 90% there but it needs you to put it over the top. I'm very hopeful that its' new owner can make it into the car I dreamed about and enjoy it for years to come! No reserve auction so BID TO WIN!!!!! |

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
