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 has a brilliant shine! It has a few nicks/blemishes here and there but from 3 feet away, they aren't noticeable and don't show up on the pictures. 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 with a the original but rebuilt 4BBL carb, which is hooked to its original transmission (4 speed) 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
305 CU V8 W/4 BBL CARB (RATED AT APPROX 150 HP) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AIR CONDITIONING (Still is using R12 and blows ICE COLD!)

DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS AMAZING 1984 CAPRICE ESTATE, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING ENJOYMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP!
READY FOR SHOW OR GO!
NO DISAPPOINTMENTS! 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 tiny stone chips on the hood and the paint has some minor blemishes on the hood 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 couple tiny dings on the hood. Again, it’s hardly noticeable and doesn't detract from the look of the car. 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. The power antenna doesn't work anymore but radio and tape deck work perfectly as well as all the speakers.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
