1991 Chevrolet Caprice Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Middlefield, Ohio, United States
|
This is probably the last 1991 Caprice 9C6 taxi in existence and is not a police car painted yellow. Sold new at H.B. Chevrolet in Forest Hills, NY , it served in Manhattan until it was required to come off the street due to New York City's taxi age restrictions. It was purchased from the original owner by a taxi collector and has been garaged since 1998 and has only been driven appoximately 4,000 miles since retirement and on nice days only . It is pretty much the way it came out of service with the massive NYC-only taxi bumper guard, meter, bulletproof partition, and roof light . The body and chassis are in good condition and haven't been touched except for occasional maintenance . The LR door has two, minor dents . The air conditioning still has some Freon in it but needs some more for the AC to blow cold but everything is there and hooked up. The music radio works . All the lights work. The tires have good tread but are older. The cab drives well but there is a minor exhaust leak and a transmission tick that both go away when the cab warms up. The brakes have a minor bumping starting so they will need attention eventually . The driver's seat has minor split in the backrest and the glovebox door latch is broken . The meter and speedometer are wired to a toggle switch to prevent a battery drain when parked for long periods. There is a Catwoman talking device but it's not working right now. The roof turn signals work . The headlights , turn signals, horn , wipers, and tail lights work. This cab passed the Ohio E check last fall . For what it is, this cab is in very good condition and it is highly doubtful that any more are still around from any city . For a Chevrolet fan, this is a car that you won't see at any Chevy show and is a unique, super easy restoration project. The pictures speak for themselves.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
