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.

BID TO WIN!

 

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.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed. Autotrader Logo "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," said Brian Moody, site editor for Autotrader.

This is how GM is hiding new Chevy Volt in public

Wed, Oct 1 2014

General Motors is letting the public know that, well, it's not about to let the public know anything else about the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. But the automaker is willing to talk about its camouflaging process for upcoming versions of the extended-range plug-in. So it's a half-hearted secret, at best. GM actually has a "camouflage engineer" charged with creating ways to disguise the styling of new vehicles. In the Volt's case, the company is applying black and white swirly color patterns on top of the materials, such as plastics, vinyl and foam, that are used liberally across the body. It's all part of a teaser campaign that started last month with pictures of part the 2016 Volt. Earlier this month, GM said it was keeping track of Volt drivers' habits as it works on the next-gen model. The company noted that more than four out of five trips are being made in all-electric driving mode, and that 60 percent of Volt owners use a plain-old 100-volt outlet to recharge their cars. The car is slated to make its global debut at Detroit's North American International Auto Show next January, and the early word is that performance and all-electric range will be improved (we should hope so). The car will also be sleeker. By how much, we can't tell yet, because of those darn swirly patterns. GM's got more non-details in its press release below. Engineers charged with hiding styling while vehicle testing proceeds in public DETROIT – The styling of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is one of the automotive world's best-kept secrets. Keeping customers and media eager to see the successor to the groundbreaking original at bay until the new Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January is tricky business. First, it is engineers, not designers, who are charged with creating camouflage that balances styling secrecy with the need to validate the Volt and its systems in public. "If it were up to me it would be a shoebox driving down the road," said Lionel Perkins, GM camouflage engineer. "The design team wants us to cover more of the vehicle and the engineering team needs to have enough of the vehicle's weight and aero exposed so that the tests in the development process are consistent with the product that will come to market." The engineers responsible for the "cool" designs covering the car might deserve style points but their efforts are intended strictly to hide the metal beneath.
