1966 Chevrolet Caprice 9 passenger wagon that's an all orignal Southern CA black plate car that I purchased a few years back in San Diego. This is an incredible original car with several after market items installed by the original lady owner. I bought the car from a guy who I believe purchased from the original owner when she gave up driving. I have a ton of receipts that go with the car, as well as, the orignal owners manual and Pro-Tecto-Plate. This is one of four 1966 Caprice wagons that I have owned. I decided I wanted one and I kept buying them till I found this one. The other three were either too far gone and were parted out or sold. I held onto this one because it was by far the nicest original Caprice wagon I'd found. But I've had my fun owning it and now I need to let it go.
Car is equipped with a 325HP V8, TH 400 transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows at all doors and tailgate, Four Season AC, Tilt-Telescopic steering, AM radio, roof rack, rear window wind deflector. Aftermarket items installed by the previous owner are cruise control, temp and oil gauges, and an "altimeter". All the options work well except the AM radio and teh AC needs to be charged.The car runs and drives great. It does use oil but I don't drive it much so I can guestimate how much. But it doesn't smoke nor does it leave large puddles on the ground. Brakes work great and it has new tires. Registration is current through FEB 2015. It had the original front bench seat when I bought the car and all the interior was original too. I acquired a Strato-bench seat from a 1966 Caprice 4 door hardtop, purchased the correct Madrid grain vinyls and had the seat restored and installed. Yes, it looks factory. The second seat was recovered at the same time but I left the third seat. It has the optional carpeted cargo area with stainless trim. I've installed new green carpet on the floors and the tailgate. I have enough carpet left to finish the cargo area and I have all of the original stainless trim that was on the cargo bed. All that needs to be done is lay the carpet and install the trim. It also needs a new headliner and sunvisors. I believe I have a correct headliner kit for the car and (if I find it) it will come with the car. The door panels are in excellent shape but, when I bought the vinyl for the seats, I also had a set of door panels restored because I was concerned the old panels wouldn't look good against the seats. But they don't look bad so the new owner gets a spare set of door panels included. I also had the armrest bases re chromed.-they're not repops, you can't even buy re-pop rear armrests for the 65-67 Caprice or Impala yet. The original instrument panel is in really nice shape but the dash pad is shot. Therefore I am including a correct dark green new dash pad the new owner can install. Car also comes with original GM green floor mats in the front, rear and in the third row seat-all in great shape. Seat belts are also original but have not yet been re installed-they will come with the car. I also had all of the side panels in the cargo area reupholstered in the correct matching green vinyl, and there is extrea vinyl that comes with the car. The exterior is in very good shape considering its age. There's a small dent on the passenger front fender, and 40 plus years of nicks and chips and maybe a few small dings in the paint and body. The floors are rock solid, the third seat floor has surface rust that needs cleaning up before painting but there's no rust through. The anodized aluminum is faded and oxydized and the orignal vinyl wood grain trim is long gone. I am also including an NOS woodgrain panel that mounts on the tailgate. I think the paint would buff out nice if someone took their time with it, but it would take a fresh coat of Willow Green and new woodgrain to really do it justice. Please feel free to ask questions or if you needs pics of a specific area. Thanks for looking! |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk
Sun, Oct 11 2015General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
