This 1992 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon is an exceptionally clean, low mileage, original condition vehicle that has been meticulously maintained during my ownership. Being a California vehicle all it's life it has ZERO rust (note pictures). It is equipped with the tow package, A/C (blows ice cold), rear facing jump seat, dual opening tailgate (folds flat and opens sideways) and power everything (windows, dual power seats, cruise control, door locks, electric antenna, rear window opener, etc). It has been fueled with 91 Octane only and receives oil changes every 5,000 miles with Pennzoil Semi-synthetic. It rides smoothly, steers tight and straight down the road and brakes confidently with power front disc brakes. It's also extremely quiet and recently passed California smog with ease. The engine is the optional 5.7-liter 350 cu-in V8 that runs perfectly, burns no oil, and delivers a solid 16 mpg around town and around 23 mpg on the interstate (400 + mile range). The 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission also shifts perfectly and doesn't leak a drop. I am the second owner of this wagon purchasing it with 58,248 miles on the odometer. It now has 80,400 miles with the majority coming from interstate driving.

The interior of this wagon is in exceptional condition for it's age. I would rate it a solid 8.5 out of 10. Front and rear seats are extremely comfortable and still offer good support, as does the rear facing jump seat. The rear seats also fold flat allowing for cargo space that rivals most pickup trucks. For example a 4'x8' sheet of plywood lies flat.

The exterior exhibits normal wear and tear for a older wagon with a few small parking lot dings, but is honestly in outstanding shape. The tires are Kumho Solus KS21 in size 235/70/15 and are also in good shape.

Recent service items completed within the last 10,000 miles include:
- Complete brake job front and rear, with full fluid flush, new front rotors and pads, new master cylinder and reservoir and new shoes.
- Front wheel bearings repacked with new seals
- New idler arm
- Full transmission flush and service
- New Monroe shocks front/rear
- New water pump
- New fuel pump w/ new fuel filter
- Brand new radiator with built in oil/transmission cooler (tow package option)
- New Thermostat
- New Distributor Cap & Rotor
- New air filter

Mechanically, this Caprice Wagon needs nothing except a new driver and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across country at a moments notice. The only items that do need addressing (if you choose) are the rear windows (the track grommets need replacing) and the rear defroster is inoperable. Aside from that you are looking at one of the cleanest GM B-body long-roof wagons out there.

I encourage you to ask as many questions as you wish, as you will get honest answers I assure you.

Shipping of this vehicle (if need be) and pick-up are the sole responsibility of the buyer, however I will help coordinate if necessary. I also encourage people to contact me so as to make an appointment to view this vehicle in person as you won't be disappointed.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Why an independent rear suspension for GM's new, full-sized SUVs wasn't easy

Mon, Dec 23 2019

A Motor Trend report last month laid out how Cadillac's 4.2-lier twin-turbo Blackwing V8 could be an orphan due to cost concerns in the GM empire. Last-minute chassis changes to Cadillac's new sedans and XT6 crossover led to engine bays that couldn't fit the Blackwing. On the SUV side, according to the report, the new independent rear suspension for big people haulers cost so much to implement that GM ruled out reworking the Escalade to accept the Blackwing. At least one commenter rightly asked how could a suspension swallow that much money. A new piece in Motor Trend has the answer. The excellent Alissa Priddle spoke to Tim Herrick, GM's executive chief engineer for full-size trucks, about why the clean-sheet IRS cost "multimillions of dollars." First, GM would need to build a new body shop at the Arlington, Texas plant that assembles the automaker's big SUVs to stamp the numerous wholly new parts and panels accommodating an IRS. Then GM would need to design and pay for a new assembly process. On top of those up-front costs, there was the incremental cost of the four-link IRS components being more expensive than those in the trucks' former leaf-sprung solid axles. Herrick endured so many rejections for so long that he remembers the date and time when he got approval for the new unit. He said it came down to a meeting where he told a higher-up, "I'll make you a deal: If we get to the reveal, or if we launch this and you think this was a dumb idea, I'll hand you my badge and let you walk me out." Head to Motor Trend to read the full story. Based on Herrick being on stage to help present the new SUVs to the press, and on our First Ride in the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban at GM's Milford Proving Grounds, it appears this will have a happy ending for all involved. Furthermore, since Herrick worked on the T1 platform that supports the big SUVs as well as the light- and heavy-duty pickups, he understood the demands on the commercial side, too. That could be why when Roadshow asked Tim Asoklis, chief engineer of the Tahoe and Suburban, if the new IRS could endure life in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Asoklis answered, "Oh, absolutely."
