THIS 1996 CAPRICE CLASSIC IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE IMPALA SS , CADILLAC FLEETWOOD AND THE BUICK ROADMASTER OF THE SAME ERA (BUILT WITH THE lT1 ENGINE FOR ONLY 3 YRS 94-96) THIS CAPRICE COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE EXTRA HEAVY DUTY COOLING SYSTEM (CODE#B4U) MEANING FOR TRAILER TOWING PACKAGES) THIS CAPRICE ALSO IS EQUIPPED WITH THE HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION, DUAL EXHAUST, POSI REAR END. THE FAN SHROUD LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE RAD FACILITATES THE THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED MECHANICAL FAN DRIVEN DIRECTLY OFF THE CRANK, NOT OFF THE SERPENTINE BELT THAT DRIVES THE ALT, POWER STEERING AND AIR COD. THE WATER PUMP IS DRIVEN DIRECTLY FROM THE END OF THE CAM SHAFT. THE MECHANICAL FAN ONLY OPERATES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LARGE ELECTRIC FAN LOCATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE RAD. THIS COMBINATION COOLING SYSTEM IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON LT1 350S WITH THE B4U CODE.I'VE OWNED THIS CAPRICE FOR 4 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT FROM A NEW CAR DEALER WHO HAD IT ON ITS LOT AT QUITE HIGH PRICE. I KNEW THAT NEW CAR DEALERS DO NOT TRY TO SELL 14 YR OLD CARS ON THEIR LOTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. MOST OFTEN THESE CARS ARE WHOLESALED OUT IMMEDIATELY TO USED CAR DEALERS OR GO DIRECTLY TO AUCTION. SO T TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AND FOUND IT TO BE A ONE OWNER VEHICLE AND IN WHEN FOUND IN EASTERN CANADA AND IN THIS GOOD OF SHAPE, KNEW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN VERY GOOD CAR OF IT AND DRIVEN IT SPARINGLY DURING THE PREVIOS 14 YRS (APPROX 6000 MILES PER YEAR AND BY THE SHAPE OF THE CAR KEPT IT GARAGED AND SELDOM WINTER DROVE IT.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS I KNEW HOW RARE AND COLLECTABLE THEY ARE BECOMING AND HAVE OWNED THREE LIKE THIS PREVIOUSLY AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY STRONG AND RELIABLE CARS.I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR APPROX 5000 MILES SINCE BUYING IT AND HAVE ALWAYS STORED IT DURING THE WINTER. ONE WILL ONLY HAV TO SEE THIS CAR AND DRIVE IT TO AGREE IT IS AS GOOD AS I AM REPRESENTING IT TO BE.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
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.")
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.
