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.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
