1990 Chevrolet Caprice 9c1 Police Package on 2040-cars
Tiverton, Rhode Island, United States
|
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!!!!! |

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
