This is one of the last of it's kind available anywhere. This 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 9C1 is an original, low-mileage car that is in good shape for it's age. It is finished in Medium Adriatic Blue Clearcoat Metallic, one of the most desirable colors available on the Caprice. If you are searching for the ultimate Chevrolet Police Package vehicle this may be the only opportunity you have to find one with this kind of mileage...

You are viewing an extremely low-mileage, always unmarked, loaded 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic with the coveted "9C1 Police Package". The 9C1 includes all of the heavy-duty and performance options, in addition to a lot of "police specific" items. This vehicle is highly sought after and they are known to last for hundreds of thousands of miles. The fuel economy is fantastic (26-30 mpg on the highway) and with all of the heavy-duty components, will outlast nearly any vehicle in the world if maintained properly. These were, perhaps, the most famous police cars ever manufactured and have been rated by many as the best police car ever built. They are blindingly fast, and capable of speeds in excess of 150 mph. When these cars were introduced, they changed the entire game.

Recently out of service from the State of Ohio, Department of Mental Health, where it was used very little it's entire time in service, with only 89,942 actual, documented miles on it. This car sat more than it was used, according to the State of Ohio. It was the only car that they still owned that was this old, and they had no idea it was even still in their fleet when it was turned in. This is a decent example of a very rare, hard to find car in the most "in-demand" color.

The original finish is in good shape and this vehicle has an absolutely spotless Carfax report. It has never been involved in any accidents and has never had any paintwork or damage repaired.

This car is far from perfect, so do NOT expect a new car...it is a nearly 20 year-old car that was just taken out of service last fall.

Recent work that was done on the car (within the last couple of hundred miles) includes; brand-new front brakes, new "Optispark" distributor, newly re-programmed computer, new fuel pump, fresh oil change, complete coolant system flush and re-fill, new brake master cylinder, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, and new coolant temperature sending unit. The fuel gauge operates erratically and may have a loose ground, the A/C functions and is complete but does not blow very cold, and it does have a slight exhaust leak which is probably a muffler that will need replaced. There is wear on the driver's side carpet (as with most Caprices) but overall, the interior is pretty decent. These are the deficiencies we have noted, but as with any used car there may be other items that need attention that we are unaware of. The car runs and drives great, there are no "check engine" lights or otherwise on, and I have personally put a few hundred miles on it myself over the last couple of weeks. It runs cool, smooth and fast and the transmission shifts perfectly. Overall, a decent example of a hard to find car. It is NOT a show car, nor is it in "mint" or "perfect" condition, it is an original, unmolested survivor that should be preserved and driven, or restored to perfection if someone wants to someday...of course, enjoying it as it is would be what I would do for now.

This vehicle had a spotlight, which was removed when it was placed into service, and the hole was sealed (this could be replaced easily if you desire). It never had a light bar or decals installed anywhere. It has never been in regular police service. There is one hole drilled with an antenna mount on the rear 1/4 panel. I can place an antenna on the mount if the winning bidder so desires.

This unit includes all of the options you would expect on a 9C1 Caprice...power mirrors, power windows (with driver's window "express down" feature), rear window defogger, power locks, full body side moldings, factory AM/FM stereo, driver and passenger side airbags, cruise control, full-factory carpeting, Medium Blue bucket front seating with matching rear bench seat. These items, of course, are just the beginning of the list of equipment on this car.

It is finished in the factory Medium Adriatic Blue Clearcoat Metallic finish with Medium Blue interior. This is one of the most beautiful colors available on the Caprice.

All of the factory manuals and all of the documentation from the State of Ohio are included with the vehicle, and are in place in the glove box. 

The original, full size spare tire is in place in the trunk with the factory spare tire cover still present.

This unit is also equipped with, of course, the full "9C1" police package which includes the 5.7-liter LT1 (350 cubic-inch) H.O. V8 engine, 4-speed overdrive heavy-duty transmission, 3.08 rear axle ratio, Good Year Eagle RS-A 225-70VR-15 police-spec, ultra-high performance radials mounted on the factory, heavy-duty, 15" vented police wheels with factory bolt-on police center caps, dual exhaust, 4-wheel disc brakes, severe-duty suspension, heavy-duty cooling, heavy-duty frame, engine oil cooler, power steering fluid cooler, transmission low-gear blockout, certified police speedometer, silicone radiator and heater hoses, instrumentation light shut-off ("blackout") switch, and much, much more. 

For those of you who know Chevrolet police cars, you are probably already aware that the Caprice police sedans were the cars that the Impala SS's were based on. They were known to be better performing and have actually become harder to find as not many survived.

Caprices like this one are becoming nearly extinct, so here's your opportunity if you've been looking for one in a rare and desirable color combination with low mileage

These are the Caprices that aficionados lust after, and this is an unmolested example. It is very responsive, smooth-shifting and, of course, very fast. 

This is a factory, all Medium Adriatic Blue Metallic car, not a re-painted color change like you will see for sale elsewhere.

This unit is in good overall condition and has less than the normal wear and tear you would expect to find on a used police vehicle. This vehicle, as most used police vehicles do, however, will have imperfections...this typically includes; scratches, chips, nicks, dings, rust, etc....that being said, this car has no known major mechanical defects and it runs and drives good. Please, keep in mind, we strive to find the nicest used vehicles possible, but they are still used vehicles. 

It is a very nice driving, tight unit...not a beat-up police car. It has never been used for any type of normal police or patrol work. 

DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP, 9C1 CAPRICES ARE VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND AND I DOUBT YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER FOR SALE IN THE NEAR FUTURE WITH THIS LOW OF MILEAGE, IF AT ALL. 

This 1995 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 will sell to the high bidder at the end of the auction, this is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please complete all inspections BEFORE bidding...if you win the auction, you own the vehicle. 

Because of increasing expenses in every regard, we have been forced to raise our fees by $50, this is the first time in ten years that we have done this, so hopefully you will understand. There will be a $175 documentation fee and a $15 title fee added to each sale, these will be the ONLY additional fees you will be responsible for, unless you reside in the state of Ohio, in which case you will need to pay the proper amount of sales tax, based on the current rate for the county in which you reside. Temporary 30-day plate and registration is also available for $18.50. We do not charge any additional fees and there are no hidden charges. Most sellers are charging double this amount currently. 

I welcome any and all questions you might have prior to bidding on this Caprice. I do reserve the right to end the auction early if the vehicle sells locally prior to the end of auction (please call if you like).

I am a law-enforcement officer as well and as such, work long hours so you are free to call me as late in the evening as you like. I can be reached anytime at (614) 893-3857. I will take calls 24/7 up until the end of the auction. 



Winning bidder agrees to forward a 25% partial payment (unless a lesser amount is agreed upon PRIOR to the end of the auction) at end of auction via direct bank wire transfer or by overnighted cashier's check, money order or certified funds. Balance will be due within seven days of end of auction or at time of pick up or delivery, whichever comes first. I will help in any way possible to arrange transportation. I can store the vehicle for up to 90 days, until pick up can be arranged, as long as it's paid for in full. 

I may be able to deliver this vehicle personally, depending on your location, at a reduced rate. 

I have been buying, selling and driving unique, specialty vehicles for over ten years now and take pride in offering only low-mileage vehicles that are not "run of the mill", beat-up cars and trucks. I specialize in the hard to obtain cars, SUV's and trucks, Dodge Hemi Charger and Ram 5.9 Cummins Diesel trucks, Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel trucks, Chevrolet Impala and Caprice 9C1 and 9C3 police vehicles, collectible and rare cars, trucks and vans. If there are any questions at all, again, please don't hesitate to call me at (614) 893-3857. I will answer all e-mails as quickly as possible. Thanks and good luck! 

Because of people who bid and do not contact me or pay, I am being forced to implicate a rule pertaining to low-feedback bidders. ANY BIDDER WHO BIDS, WITH A FEEDBACK OF 5 OR LESS, WILL HAVE THEIR BID RETRACTED IMMEDIATELY unless they contact me first, prior to bidding. I hope everyone understands, and I thank our hundreds of happy customers, but a few bad apples have spoiled the proverbial bunch. Thanks for understanding. 


Please remember, this is a used government vehicle and it is not new. It is, however, in better condition than most like vehicles you will see. As such, it will have flaws consistent with the miles and age of the vehicle, and with government use. That being said, it is in good shape and runs & looks good. It is not what you would typically expect, or what you will find elsewhere for sale. Please, if you want to come and look at it, do so BEFORE bidding...or call me, as always, at 614-893-3857 or e-mail me and I will answer any questions you may have. Thanks!

Chevy Malibu will become 45-mpg strong hybrid with next update

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Come next year there'll be no more mild hybrid pretensions for the Chevrolet Malibu - the next-generation sedan will borrow technology from the 2016 Volt and get a proper hybrid powertrain. A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine gets help from a two-motor drive unit adapted from the Volt for 182 system horsepower, the motor drive powered by an 80-cell, 1.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Chevrolet says that when combined with features like grille shutters and a lower ride height, it expects the Malibu Hybrid will post a combined fuel economy rating of more than 45 miles per gallon, which would best the hybrid trims of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. Electric power alone can power the car up to 55 miles per hour, and The Bowtie's first use of exhaust gas heat recovery will help maintain high hybrid performance in cold weather and be used to heat the engine and cabin. The Malibu Hybrid should go on sale in the Spring of next year, for now there's a press release below. Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Derives Technology from Volt GM estimates combined fuel economy ratings to exceed 45 mpg DETROIT, 2015-03-25 – Chevrolet's recent production announcement of its all-electric vehicle based on the Bolt EV concept, as well as the introduction of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, will be joined by a strong hybrid version of the next-generation Malibu. Using technology from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt propulsion system, Malibu Hybrid will offer an estimated combined fuel economy rating exceeding 45 mpg, higher than the combined mileage ratings of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata hybrid variants. "The 2016 Malibu Hybrid will offer impressive fuel economy, exceptional driving characteristics and gorgeous styling," said Jesse Ortega, Chevrolet Malibu chief engineer. "Besides leveraging innovation from the Chevrolet Volt, the Malibu Hybrid also has unique features that help improve aerodynamics, like upper and lower grille air shutters to improve airflow and a reduced ride height, all of which help reduce fuel consumption," Ortega said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power.

15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles

Tue, Mar 8 2022

Americans drive a lot. Collectively, we put, on average, more than 13,000 miles on our cars each year according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Because of this, a vehicle's ability to travel long distances without major problems is a huge consideration when it comes time to purchase a new one. It's also worth remembering that keeping an older car on the road instead of trashing it and buying new can be considered an eco-friendly decision. After all, it takes a lot of resources to build a car. iSeeCars.com, a website that aggregates used car listings from all around the country, recently ran through the numbers on millions of vehicles that are currently on the road to determine which last the longest. Alternatively, you could choose to look at this list as vehicles likely to be driven by owners who travel long distances. Either way, we've laid out the top 15 vehicles most likely to hit or even surpass the 200,000-mile mark. It's important to note that while these are the vehicles that have stood the test of time up until today, we can't guarantee future results if you decide to opt for one of these from a current model year. That said, unless we specifically say so in the text below, we've used pictures of current models for illustrative purposes. Now, with all of that out of the way, scroll on down for the top 15 vehicles most likely to crest 200,000 miles. 15: Toyota Sienna 14: Honda Odyssey The 15th spot and 14th spot on the list of the top 15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles are both minivans. Spoiler alert: They will be the only two minivans on the list. According to iSeeCars, 3.2% of both of these family haulers crest the 200,000-mile mark, making them the best bets for families looking to put a ton of miles on their machines. 13: Honda Ridgeline 12: GMC Yukon The next spot on the list is occupied by the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck with 3.7% lasting past 200,000 miles. Unlike any of the other midsize trucks it competes with, the Ridgeline is based on a unibody chassis. Opting for this more car-like structure — as opposed to a traditional body-on-frame layout — allows Honda's hauler to ride and drive more like a car. Up next is the GMC Yukon, also with 3.7% past the 200K mark, and the first, but very much not the last, big traditional SUV you'll see on the list. In fact, get ready to see a whole bunch of 'em, including several from GMC parent General Motors.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
