Warren, New Jersey, United States

 Up for Auction is a 1987 Caprice Estate wagon with 33,000 original miles.  It is a one elderly owner car that was always garaged until recently. The pictures tell the story and attest to the  condition of the car. Has all options except a power seat and wire wheel hubcaps.  The condition of the car is excellent for the year and the car drives as a 33,000 mile car should (extremely tight). The interior is in really nice shape and has not been used to haul construction supplies, kids, or store all ones worldly possessions.  The body is very straight and clean, all mouldings , wood grain and paint are in really nice shape.  The tires are in nice shape car and there are no flat spots. The engine compartment is very clean and undercarriage is solid with surface dirt and no rust..If you missed 1987 and are looking to add a really nice  car to your collection this is it!!  There are not many 80's Caprice wagons left in this condition. The contrast of the Blue paint against the woodgrain is striking in direct sunlight. The car glows I would evaluate the car in detail as follows:

1. Excellent Garage kept low mileage original car
2. Body is really straight with one small indentation on the right front fender that can be pushed out without any bodywork, Roof is straight , tailgate is straight. No rust on body
3. The paint has been touched up and freshened in spots. It shines and looks really good even up close. Much better than driver quality and certainly better then the original paint it left the factory with as this color tended to dull right away with GM's paint
4. Wood grain is in really Great shape with a small nick in it here and there but hardly noticeable. It still shines and HAS NOT BEEN over waxed to a point where it is faded It appears at one time in its life the left front fender and door had the woodgrain replaced. It was done with the original material (NOT AFTERMARKET).
5. The Trim is in great shape. There is pitting on the tail light bezels and some pitting on the roof rack chrome.  It all shines really nicely and does not take away from the car.
6. The bumpers are in nice shape with the exception of 2 minor imperfections. 1 The right front bumper pad was scraped and the rear bumper is lightly discolored in the passenger side corner on top from the exhaust.
7. Interior is super nice and the nap on the material on the seats and door panels still sparkles in the sun and appears fresh. The carpet is original and in great shape. The floor mats are original GM and had plastic floor mats over them so they are in great shape, The cargo area is really nice and appears to have never carried anything other than groceries. The Third seat appears to have never been used. The side cargo panels are original and have no scrapes. The tailgate inner plastic trim is in great shape with one small scrape and  2 small screw holes where a PBA sign was fastened, The imperfections  in the interior are as follows:

A. Dash pad has 2 cracks
B. A medal was glued to the right clear plastic over the instrument cluster. It clouded the plaitic to the very right
C. There are 2 1/8  of an inch burn holes in the drivers seat from a sloppy mechanic. (VERY VERY SMALL. Car does not smell like it was smoked in! )
D. 2 of the strap pull inserts were missing on the drivers door panel. I made 2 with the extra headliner material. Not noticable look at the pictures.
E. Missing a cap on the radio knob and a cap on the heater knob
F. A piece of carpet in the cargo area behind the rear seat became unglued and now is misplaced

8. Hubcaps have a few minor dents

9. Air conditioning is still R12 and blows warm.

10. Radio does not work.

In conclusion this car is in REALLY REALLY NICE SHAPE!!!  I am extermly critical in my evaluation but am doing this as pictures tend not to tell the whole story and it is difficult to buy a car online without seeing it in person..  It would not take much to make this a top show winner.  It is a garaged low mileage car.


I am selling a few cars out of my collection.  This is a beautiful looking and driving car. Own a piece of automotive history.

Special note:  You are welcome to see and drive the car. If you don't live close to this location I welcome any appraisers or professional evaluators. Please feel free to ask any or all questions about the car prior to the end of the sale.  If you are not comfortable with buying a car online and might have buyers remorse or are a car flipper and your sale falls through after you buy a car  and look for any excuse to negate the sale please enjoy looking at the pictures but PLEASE DO NOT BID on this car!!! I have 100 percent feedback and intend to keep it that way.

I have represented this car honestly, objectively and fairly. I want everyone involved in this transaction to be happy at the end of it.  I can be reached at 908-458-386

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns

Tue, May 12 2015

General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.
