1989 Chevy Caprice Brougham Original Survivor on 2040-cars
Shelby, Iowa, United States
|
I have up for auction another prime example of a well maintained original caprice. This car was owned by an elderly couple since new in 1989. This car has 82,000 miles on it and none of them were in the winter. Car was always garaged and kept out of the Midwest weather. The car runs and drives like the day it was purchased. This is not a 305 car. It has a 350 chevy engine in it from the factory and this was rare in these years. Runs great. Under the hood is very very clean. No leaks of any kind. The body of the car is in excellent shape with no rust. The paint has a few tiny nicks in it but otherwise is amazing. The vinyl top is still soft and no rips or cracks in it. And did I say no rust!!!!! The under side of the chassis is very very clean also with just surface rust on rearend housing and exhaust. The front bumper filler is cracked on this car wich was a problem with these when they age. The back bumper filler is perfect. The interior is very clean. All power options and everything works as it should. No rips, tears, or stains. The only thing I found were a couple little cigarette ash burns on the drivers seat. Car does not smell of smoke so I don't think smoking in the car was something that happened very often. As I usually do I will let the pictures speak for themselves and if any of you want any other pictures just ask and I will post them. This car is a very clean original that runs perfectly. Don't miss out. Car is sold as is no warranty and buyer is responsible for shipping but I will help if need be. Thanks and bid to win. You wont be disappointed.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
