Billerica, Massachusetts, United States

Step back into 1987 and go down to the local Chevy dealership and pick out this Yellow Beige Caprice Classic Brougham. That is what it feels like you are doing when you see this car. This GM classic is an absolute TIME CAPSULE! It is a 2 owner North Carolina car its entire life. Garaged, preserved, and pampered! Let me tell you the story about this beautiful Caprice. I am a diehard Cadillac fanatic, with a passion for the full sized Fleetwood Broughams and Eldorado's. Owning a few classics, I can appreciate this low mileage Caprice. My relationship with this car began about a month ago. I was traveling from Massachusetts delivering a vehicle my sister (who lives in NC) purchased from me. (I am a car dealer by day) I planned to drive down, and rent a cheap car and drive home. Planned being the key word. Before the trip started I found out this Caprice was just traded in at Bob Murray Chevy in Raleigh NC for a new Chevy, and was going to wholesale auction with all the other dealer trades. While I was down in NC I attended this dealer only auction, to check this dream machine out. It was like a rose in a garden of weeds, waiting to be plucked, taken home and cared for just as the first two owners have done. Since you are reading this, you know I couldn't resist. I purchased it, and drove it home to Massachusetts almost 800 miles! All trouble free driving, smooth, strong and comfortable! She ran like a top!! And got almost 24MPG!! Well since I have a 2 car garage, and have to rent space for my other cars, as soon as my soon to be wife saw this one she said "It or me!" So here we are. I need to find this sweetheart a new home. (the car, not my fiance) This Caprice would make a car guy like me a great Sunday cruiser, collectors car, or investment. The car starts, runs, drives like new. It looks amazing in its rare color combination, and is LOADED with options!

It was owned by its first owner up until 2005 with 28k accumulated miles in High Point NC. It was then owned by the last owner, from 05 until traded at Bobby Murray Chevy this Feburary with 46k miles. I purchased this car under my dealership, and the new owner will be the 3rd owner. I have a clean and clear North Carolina title. The car comes with 2 original GM sets of keys, factory floor mats (great shape), owners manual, wire wheel lock key, and the orignal window sticker. It is completely rust free! The pictures will tell the story. No rust under door edges, trunk edges or on the chassis. The vinyl top is crisp and soft, and still retains its true color, showing it has been garaged. The chrome and bright work is just that, BRIGHT. The seats and carpets still have that thick pile to them. I do not believe they have ever been shampooed. There are some minor defects I will list. Power antenna stoped working when I shut it off after my 800 mile trip. It worked fine before. It is in the up position. some light stone chips on the mirrors (pictured), small crack in dash pad on the drivers side top corner point (under 1 inch, see photos), silver trim in the horn pad has a small section missing (see photos), some paint wearing off the dash under the radio and on the shifter column band (see photos), some small pits in the top face of the rear bumper. Not rust, just little dots in the chrome. Tires are a matched set of Michelin's with 80% tread, they are older tires and have some dry cracking in the tread. This did not concern me driving 800 miles home. I replaced the 10 year old battery with a brand new one. Radiator hoses look newer. This was a non smokers car. The defects I listed are me being over critical. This is a used car, a 1987 model year. Check out the photos, I took close to 140 pictures, including the undercarriage. Any questions feel free to email me, or you can call me. Anthony, at 978-930-1004. Please keep in mind I am in the EASTERN time zone. I will not like you much if you call me at 1 am, please keep calls from 8am-10pm EST. The car will be selling to the highest bidder, no reserve. I do not have a set price in mind. A $500 deposit via paypal within 48 hours, remaining Payment to be cash in person, or wire transfer. Car will not leave until payment is clear. I will export this car, and help in any transport to do so (Paid for by you). I will also help arrange shipping within the USA. If you want to fly in, and take another road trip in this car, I will pick you up at Boston Logan Int air port and get you on the road. Massachusetts does NOT issue temp plates, 20 day plates, or any other plate to put on the car to drive it home to wherever you may live. You must bring some sort of plate with you if you plan on driving home. The mileage may increase slightly as we welcome test drives. Dont make the same mistake I did, make sure the wife will allow you to have this car, make sure the bank you keep your money in has the funds to pay for it too! No reserve, last bidder wins! The car is located in Billerica MA, and has only been here for a few weeks. The car has not been driven to preserve its salt free history.  photo 87caprice2001_zps5c55451f.jpg  photo 87caprice2002_zpsa1b30985.jpg  photo 87caprice2003_zps72f30a8d.jpg  photo

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.
