THIS IS THE KIND OF CAPRICE ESTATE WAGON COLLECTORS DREAM OF FINDING! Please see all the pictures and video I have taken of this car at the links below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNQmejXYIY http://s98.photobucket.com/user/colangp/library/1984%20Caprice%20Estate%20Wagon?sort=2&page=1
This amazing “survivor”, all original, numbers matching, 1984
Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon WITH the 3rd row "Jump Seat" with
less than 63,000 original miles on it has had "technically" a
total of 3 owners in its 30 year pampered life, but really, I'm feel I'm the
2nd owner. The car is an all original
car from New Jersey. The original owners
had the car until 2013, gave it to their grandson who had it only a few months. He didn't want it and decided to sell it to a
gentleman that I bought it from, who only had it a couple months himself. He just bought it to flip and make a little
money I believe. When I bought it, it
was still registered in the grandson's name (the second owner).
Now, on to the description of this gorgeous vehicle. This Caprice Estate was never smoked in, was sparingly driven (as I said, it currently has less than 63,000 original miles), lovingly cared for and always garaged since new. Not only does it look virtually new, it drives like new! The original owner’s manual is still in the glove box. Included with the car is the original jack, jack instructions and a brand new full size spare tire. I have tons of receipts from the original owner validating the mileage which shows all the items done to the car over the years and very recently. More on that later.
This 1984 Caprice Estate is now being made available to some very
lucky bidder. The only reason I’m
selling it is because I have my eye on another classic car I found. If it doesn’t sell, I’m perfectly OK with
hanging on to it. I'm in no hurry to
sell it at all. I know what I have so
I'm not willing to "give it away".
This Caprice Estate was never hit and everything is in excellent
factory original condition, including the paint and the "wood" decals. The car honestly looks like a two year old
car. All the power windows and locks, lights,
turn signals, horn, cruise control, gauges, wipers (and squirters) and radio/cassette
tape deck are in perfect working order.
Remember that door buzzer/dinger when you inserted the key? Even THAT works perfectly! No electrical issues at all. The paint (which is 100% factory original,
chrome bumpers (virtually showroom new original condition) chrome trim around the
wheel wells, stainless trim and rubber trim are all in very good to excellent
condition. Roof rack is in like new
condition. No rust or pitting anywhere
on any chrome surfaces. This car handles
beautifully and holds the road nice and straight at 40 MPH or 70 MPH. No pulling at all and is very tight and
responsive. The car tracks straight when
driving and braking. The brakes work
beautifully with no issues at all. This Caprice
rides on a new set of white wall all season radial tires mounted on the
original factory wheels and original wire wheel covers to maintain its original
factory look. The exterior is
incredible! The ALL original cranberry
color still shines like new! It has a
few tiny (and I mean TINY) nicks/blemishes here and there but from 3 feet away,
they aren't noticeable. The floors and frame
as well as under the hood and cargo area and wheel wells are all solid and rust
free with no signs of rust or rot anywhere.
Same for all the door jams and under the doors (see pictures). NO RUST ANYWHERE!! There is no way this car was ever driven in
the winter. There is just some light
surface rust underneath the car, typical for the age of the car. Nothing at all
to worry about. All the glass is
perfect. No chips or cracks anywhere. All the doors open and close effortlessly,
just as new and all the door jams look new as well. NO RUST anywhere here.
But that’s just the beginning!
The stunning interior is absolutely breathtaking and 98% original! I had a new headliner and sun visors
professionally installed ($750) using OEM matching color and material. Looks awesome! Nothing has been modified or “cut up” in any
way. It looks exactly as it did back in
1984 and looks brand new. The
upholstery, door panels, seat backs, carpet, headliner (no sagging, fading or
rips), dash pad (no cracks or fading), chrome and stainless trim pieces are in
excellent to near new condition. This
interior is, for all intensive purposes, in brand new original condition. This Caprice Estate is equipped with the
original AM/FM stereo/cassette with front and rear speakers (which works
perfectly), power steering, power brakes, electric clock (which actually works and
keeps PERFECT time, cigar lighter (works great). The A/C blows cold with no issues. The heat works great with no issues.
This Caprice has the original 305 V8 engine hooked to its original
transmission with overdrive. Both
perform as new. Absolutely no knocking,
smoking or hesitation from the engine and the transmission shifts through the
gears like a new car. No slippage at
all. No leaks anywhere and no burning of
any oil. It’s very smooth with no issues. I brought this car to the Woodward Dream
Cruise last year and “cruised” in 2 hours straight of bumper to bumper traffic
just idling in 85 degree heat and the car didn’t miss a beat. No overheating and stayed in the “normal”
temperature range the whole time. This 1984 Caprice Estate Wagon was ordered with the following equipment. VIN# 2G1AN35H7E9201681

This 1984 Caprice Estate has been lovingly cared for
since new. This is a vehicle that anyone
would be proud of and this car is wonderful to drive. It turns heads everywhere it goes. I get more looks for this car than any other
classic car I have owned and I have had quite a few. It brings back so many memories for so many
people. It took me YEARS to find this
car in this condition. They simply don't
exist anymore.
I see no reason why the winning bidder couldn’t fly in
and drive this vehicle home to anywhere in the country.
As everybody knows, nothing is perfect. The paint has a couple of small chips as I mentioned earlier (see pictures) here and there but are hardly noticeable, unless you get right up on the car. There is one small ding on the right rear quarter panel which you really have to look for as well as a tiny ding on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable. The rear bumper fillers need replacing. I have already purchased the parts so they will be included with the sale of the car. The front door arm rests are starting to "lift" a bit as you can see in the pictures. Power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy bi-fuel Silverado 3500HD Chassis Cab, VW Car-Net works with Apple Watch
Fri, May 8 2015Volkswagen's Car-Net app will be compatible with the Apple Watch. Using the app, owners will be able to lock and unlock their car, check charging status or fuel level, locate their car, flash the lights, and honk the horn of their vehicle remotely from their wrist. E-Golf owners can begin or end charging or operate climate control through their Apple Watch. The app can also monitor other household drivers with speed and boundary alerts - perfect for the parent who lends their car to a teenager. Read more in the press release from Volkswagen. Chevrolet is launching the bi-fuel 2016 Silverado 3500HD Chassis Cab. The work truck will now offer a version that will run on both gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG). "CNG burns cleaner and costs less at the pump than gasoline, making it an appealing option for fleets," says GM's Ed Peper. Companies like Southern California Gas Co. find that trucks like this meet their work needs and help them achieve their goals of greening up their fleets, GM says.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix. Related Video: GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 1,283,340 older sedans and coupes in the U.S. from the 1997 to 2004 model years because drops of oil may be deposited on the hot exhaust manifold through hard braking, which can cause engine compartment fires. GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
