FIRST AND FOREMOST, this is a PROJECT VEHICLE. It needs very little to be running and driving but is not currently roadworthy as it sits. Additionally this is a salvage yard rescue so all information about the car came to me via the previous owner. As such I cannot personally attest to specifics beyond what I can physically verify. Finally, there are MANY service vehicle parts included in the sale that either didn't come with the car or were removed when it was taken out of service. If the buyer were to sell these items individually they'd basically cover the car at the starting price. I personally wanted to build it as a Cannonball Rally car blacked out like an unmarked but lack of space and too many projects are forcing sale.
NO RESERVE! NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED! BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP OR SHIPPING! AVAILABLE AS IS WHERE IS! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING! 1990 CHEVY CAPRICE Legitimate 9C1 Police Package. Originally used by California Highway Patrol. I'm assuming it was used as a special duty vehicle as it came with a full interior and there's no visible evidence of a cage. Body has very little rust and is pretty straight save for a few minor imperfections. Needs bumper fillers front and rear but don't they all? Frame has some scale (being from CA it left the factory minus undercoating) and a small soft spot near the rear bumper bracket but nothing major. The floors are very solid but do have a couple of significant dents in the rear foot-well where the car was picked up with the loader. Shouldn't be anything a little bit of banging can't fix (pictured). The interior is complete minus headliner and seats but a pair of leather front buckets from a Subaru Legacy Sport are included. The previous owner had installed a set of Recaros from a Mitsubishi Evo so bucket seat brackets and adapters are already mounted in the car. Car comes with a clear MA title signed by the previous owner to leave it open. Those of you who live anywhere near MA know that these titles might as well be golden. DRIVETRAIN & SUSPENSION This car originally came with a 350 that was Throttle Body Injected. The motor has been replaced with a low mileage (80-some-odd thousand) 305 4 Barrel out of a 1985 Monte Carlo. Though I can't verify the mileage and haven't heard it fire, the motor turns freely and has good compression. The only things needed for it to run are a distributor (HEI unit included but not installed (pictured in trunk)), exhaust manifolds (also pictured in trunk, not installed) and fuel pump. Being that this car was originally TBI it has an electronic fuel pump mounted in the gas tank. A mechanical fuel pump, pump rod, fuel pump plate, mechanical sending unit and a back up electronic fuel pump are all included (pictured in the trunk, not installed) as well as miscellaneous fuel lines and fittings. The electronic pump will either need to be removed or coupled to a special regulator to use with the carburetor. Overall, I'd say the buyer could have it running through open manifolds in an afternoon. Transmission is a 700R4 OD unit with a shift kit. Finally, the suspension is heavy duty PD issue with large bolt pattern truck axle and front/rear sway bars. EXTRA GOODIES Being that I wanted to build a long distance rally type of car and not restore it I gathered a few items that, although not originally for this year/model police car, would really set it off. Included are a genuine Police flood light removed from a Crown Victoria, one medium and pair of small flashers (removed from a newer SUV. Extremely bright), a dual speaker siren with PA feature removed from an ambulance and a CB radio (no antenna though). All these items were tested before removal and are in good working order. Overall it pains me to see this car go. With some elbow grease and a little bit more money this Caprice would be a mean hot rod well worthy of tearing up the streets. I'd say the car is 90% there but it needs you to put it over the top. I'm very hopeful that its' new owner can make it into the car I dreamed about and enjoy it for years to come! No reserve auction so BID TO WIN!!!!! |

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.")
Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
