This is my 1996 Caprice Classic with the LT1 motor and sport package that I bought new in December 1996.  It is dark green grey metallic with grey cloth interior. It has 145,300 miles and located in eastern PA.  It is PA inspected through 10/13. It has the heavy duty cooling with mechanical fan (trans oil cooler; radiator engine oil cooler); power seats; CD player; heat reflective windshield; leather wrapped steering wheel.  Kumo all season tires have about 60% tread remaining.

Over the years I have done a few minor modifications that include: 17 inch Impala SS wheels with Chevy bowtie center caps; Impala SS grille; Impala SS tail lights; Impala SS rear spoiler; bilstein shocks; power steering oil cooler; Power Slot rotors, and steel brake lines.  All parts where GM parts except the rotors, bilsteins, and braided brake lines.

Within the past 15,000 miles I have done the following: opti-spark and vent harness, water pump, radiator and heater hoses, belts, belt tensioners, spark plugs and wires - all New AC Delco parts. New AC Delco A/C compressor and accumulator and fan clutch. New front (Hawk) and rear (AC Delco) brake pads and shoes.

New GM rebuilt transmission at 108,000 miles. 

Extremely well maintained and driven. Runs and performs great.  Everything works except the cigarette lighter and trunk light. It is missing some door pull strap covers and the sun visor clip on driver's side. The odometer is unclear for the first few minutes after starting and then gets clear - the digital speedometer has no issues at all. No tears in upholstery and no one has ever smoked in the car.

After spending about half of its life not in a garage, the paint is rough in spots, especially front bumper and there is one area of rust on the driver's side door sill, captured in the pictures.  Please ask any questions that you may have and thank you for looking.

EDIT: The carfax will say 2 owners because it was re-titled in FL for 1.5 years while I was there.  As you will see, it was then re-titled back to PA.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
