ONE FAMILY OWNED 1987 CHEVROLET "CAPRICE ESTATE WAGON"
44,210 MILES AND DRIVES STRAIGHT AND STRONG !!!!!.
SOLD NEW in 1987 AT "Lindsay Chevrolet" 60 Center st. Pittsfield Mass.
Awhile back I stumbled across this very sweet "Woodie Wagon" and since I can't keep everything I see I guess I will have to part with it. Someone will really enjoy this vintage wagon.
Some history with the car ................... The owner was a 72 year old woman born in 1941 who used the car very little and worked hard to keep it as nice as humanly possible. She acquired the car in 2004 from (believe it or not ......) from her mother who bought the car brand new. So the two woman were the only registered owners and they kept it in the family for 26 years. I have a clear Connecticut title I received with the car along with the Bill of sale that I will pass along to the new owner .
The car has a nice smooth + quiet running 305 V8 with an automatic transmission that shifts excellent. Air conditioning that blows cold and power windows and a 6 way power drivers seat along with cruise control that all work well. It also has a 2 way tailgate with 3rd seat , . The power window in the tailgate also works well. This is Not a rattle trap............... it is still a very tight car.......... just what you would expect with a 44,000 mile car.....
NON-SMOKER owned. The cigarette lighter does work and is unused.
The interior shows very nice. The cloth seats are not worn or soiled. The rugs are also still very nice. I would suggest either replacing or re-glueing the cloth headliner that is drooping. The original owners manual is also in the glove box.
As far as the body goes It does have some small nicks or dings from use here and there but they are insignificant considering the age of the vehicle. I believe the paint on the car to be original and still retains a nice shine, The underside shows some light hazeing but no rust that's nasty or heavily scabby. I recently had the mid exhaust pipe and muffler replaced with new. The spare tire is still Brand new and stored in the rear compartment.
All in All,,,,,, not a museum piece but a very very pretty wagon !!!!!! someones gonna get a real "SWEET RIDE"
Any questions please email..........
I am looking for a 300 dollar pay pal deposit from the winning bidder immediately following auction end. Selling as is . This description is mearly my opinion. For piece of mind I would suggest looking at the car before bidding or send an independent inspection service to check out the car.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
