Up for sale is a one family owned 1989 Chevy Caprice, 4dr 305 V8 sedan. My parents bought this new with 23 miles on the clock, it now has 306004, and it's had quite a life. Bought in Texas, it's never seen snow, just a few hurricanes. Was driven by Mom until 1995 when they got a minivan, then Dad drove it (alot) until 2004 when it was my turn. It was driven daily until the spring of 2009 when the trans finally decided to take a break, it has since been rebuilt and has less than 800 miles on it, brand new torque converter. After that we decided to start refreshing and rebuilding it, has new carpet, headliner, the front seats are a salvage yard find hence why they don't match color-wise. We replaced the wiring harness around this time and since then it hasn't really started, we think the problem's either at the alternator or starter. The engine had valve stem seals done at around 225XXX miles, when it starts, this motor will either idle like a champ or throw you back in the seat and break the back end loose in a jiffy, lots of life left in it. The car is all original, I'm pretty sure its even sitting on the same shocks it rolled off the line with (Dad was good about oil and filters and batteries, but thats about it) so the suspension sags a little but still incredibly glass smooth. The body has a few small surface spots on it, I tried to get pictures of all of them, the front grill and nosepiece are also salvage yard finds after a small accident I had, all it did was take out the headlight and crack the plastic. It's been an awesome car to have and drive but Dad's getting busier with work and I'm fixing to move out of state. With a little work this would be a great candidate for a restoration, daily driver, or even a sleeper, which is what I kinda had in the back of my mind.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
