 ONE FAMILY OWNED 1987 CHEVROLET "CAPRICE ESTATE WAGON"

 

 

               44,210 MILES AND DRIVES STRAIGHT AND STRONG !!!!!

 

 

SOLD NEW  in 1987 AT  "Lindsay Chevrolet"  60 Center st. Pittsfield Mass.   

 

 Awhile back I stumbled across this very sweet "Woodie  Wagon" and since I can't keep everything I see I guess I will have to part with it. Someone will really enjoy this vintage wagon.   

 

Some history with the car ...................   The  owner was a 72 year old woman born in 1941 who used the car very little and worked hard to keep it as nice as humanly possible.  She acquired the car in 2004 from (believe it or not ......) from her mother who bought the car brand new.  So the two woman were the only registered owners and they kept it in the family for 26 years.  I have a clear Connecticut title I received with the car along with the Bill of sale that I will pass along to the new owner .  

 

      The car has a nice smooth + quiet running 305 V8  with an automatic transmission that shifts excellent.  Air conditioning that blows cold and power windows and a 6 way power drivers seat along with cruise control that all work well.  It also has a 2 way tailgate with 3rd seat , .  The power window in the tailgate also works well.   This is Not a rattle trap............... it is still a very tight car.......... just what you would expect with a 44,000 mile car..... 

 

NON-SMOKER  owned.  The cigarette lighter does work and is unused.

 

The interior shows very nice. The cloth seats are not worn or soiled.  The rugs are also still very nice. I would suggest either replacing or re-glueing the cloth headliner that is drooping.  The original owners manual is also in the glove box. 

As far as the body goes It does have some small nicks or dings from use here and there but they are insignificant considering the age of the vehicle.  I believe the paint on the car to be original and still retains a nice shine,  The underside shows some light hazeing  but no rust that's nasty or heavily scabby.   I recently had the mid exhaust pipe and muffler replaced with new.   The spare tire is still Brand new and stored in the rear compartment.

 

All in All,,,,,,  not a museum piece but a very very pretty wagon !!!!!!   someones gonna get a real "SWEET RIDE"   

 

Any questions please email..........         

 

 I am looking for a 300 dollar pay pal deposit from the winning bidder immediately following auction end.  Selling as is . This description is mearly my opinion.  For piece of mind I would suggest looking at the car before bidding or send an independent inspection service to check out the car.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels

Sat, Dec 20 2014

The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
