    Anyone looking for a winter car or DD?

    1990 Chevy Caprice Classic -gray with matching vinyl top
    2 owner
    137,000 miles.
    305 motor
    200R4 trans

    I've had this car for 3 years and drive 300 miles a week in it. Power seats still work,power windows work, rubber seals in fine shape, cruise control works, prolly never smoked in based on ashtray and dash lighter un-used, A/C works. dash not cracked, headliner still good, no tears in seats or door panels. carpet is a little worn on driver side but has carpet mats and rubber mats. rear window defrost works. Been averaging 19 mpg, but has gotten 21-22 average before based on hwy use. I'm about a 65% hwy user.
    Mainteneance done since I bought it:

    Duralast Battery: Fall 2011
    Autozone Alternator: Fall 2011
    Front Firestone Indy 500 tires - Dec.2011
    Rear Firestone winterforce tires - Dec.2011
    Front and rear tires still have some life left
    4 Monroe sensatrac shocks, Nov.2011
    Front coil springs, May 2012
    water pump - spring 2013
    heater core - Jan. 2012
    O2 sensor - fall 2013
    exhaust/muffler - fall 2012
    passenger ball joint and wheel bearing -aug.2013

    Items replaced before I got the car:
    Fuel tank (it still is shiny..well sort of ) have no idea about pump/sending unit,
    radiator, plugs and wires

    No rattles, squeaks etc..not rotted out, but not pristine, has a few spots starting to show thru. I had it oil sprayed every fall and previous owner used to go to FL for winter and left car in garage here, thus the lower miles for 24 year old car.

    The hood has a the 90"s Gm paint issue with the paint peeling off to the primer/sealer on all the sharper edge lines of the hood, but not the flat areas.
    Car does blow a little blue smoke at start up after sitting, 90's Gm valve seal issue normal, does not burn oil though. FM radio crackles an pops a few minutes when first used, then settles in fine..not sure why..prolly some 24 year old circuitry this jsut started last few months. Left turn signal does not auto cancel, the cam must be worn.
    Has fullsize caprice hubcaps and also the original wire wheel hubcaps with retaining hardware for antitheft.

    Car is in Akron, OH
    Asking $2500 or reasonable offer

    Send pm if interested.

    I want a winter car. I've been trying to sell my Harley without success so far. When I do, I may be a customer.
