Warren, New Jersey, United States

 Up for Auction is a 1987 Caprice Estate wagon with 33,000 original miles.  It is a one elderly owner car that was always garaged until recently. The pictures tell the story and attest to the  condition of the car. Has all options except a power seat and wire wheel hubcaps.  The condition of the car is excellent for the year and the car drives as a 33,000 mile car should (extremely tight). The interior is in really nice shape and has not been used to haul construction supplies, kids, or store all ones worldly possessions.  The body is very straight and clean, all mouldings , wood grain and paint are in really nice shape.  The tires are in nice shape car and there are no flat spots. The engine compartment is very clean and undercarriage is solid with surface dirt and no rust..If you missed 1987 and are looking to add a really nice  car to your collection this is it!!  There are not many 80's Caprice wagons left in this condition. The contrast of the Blue paint against the woodgrain is striking in direct sunlight. The car glows I would evaluate the car in detail as follows:

1. Excellent Garage kept low mileage original car
2. Body is really straight with one small indentation on the right front fender that can be pushed out without any bodywork, Roof is straight , tailgate is straight. No rust on body
3. The paint has been touched up and freshened in spots. It shines and looks really good even up close. Much better than driver quality and certainly better then the original paint it left the factory with as this color tended to dull right away with GM's paint
4. Wood grain is in really Great shape with a small nick in it here and there but hardly noticeable. It still shines and HAS NOT BEEN over waxed to a point where it is faded It appears at one time in its life the left front fender and door had the woodgrain replaced. It was done with the original material (NOT AFTERMARKET).
5. The Trim is in great shape. There is pitting on the tail light bezels and some pitting on the roof rack chrome.  It all shines really nicely and does not take away from the car.
6. The bumpers are in nice shape with the exception of 2 minor imperfections. 1 The right front bumper pad was scraped and the rear bumper is lightly discolored in the passenger side corner on top from the exhaust.
7. Interior is super nice and the nap on the material on the seats and door panels still sparkles in the sun and appears fresh. The carpet is original and in great shape. The floor mats are original GM and had plastic floor mats over them so they are in great shape, The cargo area is really nice and appears to have never carried anything other than groceries. The Third seat appears to have never been used. The side cargo panels are original and have no scrapes. The tailgate inner plastic trim is in great shape with one small scrape and  2 small screw holes where a PBA sign was fastened, The imperfections  in the interior are as follows:

A. Dash pad has 2 cracks
B. A medal was glued to the right clear plastic over the instrument cluster. It clouded the plaitic to the very right
C. There are 2 1/8  of an inch burn holes in the drivers seat from a sloppy mechanic. (VERY VERY SMALL. Car does not smell like it was smoked in! )
D. 2 of the strap pull inserts were missing on the drivers door panel. I made 2 with the extra headliner material. Not noticable look at the pictures.
E. Missing a cap on the radio knob and a cap on the heater knob
F. A piece of carpet in the cargo area behind the rear seat became unglued and now is misplaced

8. Hubcaps have a few minor dents

9. Air conditioning is still R12 and blows warm.

10. Radio does not work.

In conclusion this car is in REALLY REALLY NICE SHAPE!!!  I am extermly critical in my evaluation but am doing this as pictures tend not to tell the whole story and it is difficult to buy a car online without seeing it in person..  It would not take much to make this a top show winner.  It is a garaged low mileage car.


I am selling a few cars out of my collection.  This is a beautiful looking and driving car. Own a piece of automotive history.

Special note:  You are welcome to see and drive the car. If you don't live close to this location I welcome any appraisers or professional evaluators. Please feel free to ask any or all questions about the car prior to the end of the sale.  If you are not comfortable with buying a car online and might have buyers remorse or are a car flipper and your sale falls through after you buy a car  and look for any excuse to negate the sale please enjoy looking at the pictures but PLEASE DO NOT BID on this car!!! I have 100 percent feedback and intend to keep it that way.

I have represented this car honestly, objectively and fairly. I want everyone involved in this transaction to be happy at the end of it.  I can be reached at 908-458-386

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

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.
