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.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
