THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDFATHERS LAND YACHT. THIS IS A 1995 CHEVROLET 9C1 DETECTIVE CAR IN IMPALA SS TRIM. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WEB SITES DEVOTED TO THE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS OF THE 9C1, SO I WON'T LIST THEM HERE. THIS WAS MY DAILY DRIVER SINCE 2000 WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED AT AUCTION WITH 42,000 MILES. THIS CAR WAS ASSIGNED TO THE CITY ENGINEER. IT CURRENTLY HAS 114,437 MILES. LETS START WITH THE GOOD STUFF THE EXTERIOR STILL CARRIES THE ORIGINAL PAINT (PURPLE PEARL) WITH A GRAY CLOTH INTERIOR. THERE ARE NO RIPS, TEARS OR STAINS INSIDE THIS CAR. ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE INTERIOR ARE STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED AND EVERYTHING WORKS. THE ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN IS STILL IN THE CAR. IT HAS RECEIVED REGULAR OIL & FILTER CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AND NEW FILERS INSTALLED AT 50,000 AND 100,000 MILES ALONG WITH A REAR END SERVICE (G80 POSI). IT COMES EQUIPPED A FLOWMASTER EXHAUST. AT 100,000 MILES THE OPTI-SPARK, WATERPUMP, RADIATOR, PLUGS AND WIRES WERE REPLACED. THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND RECEIVER-DRYER WERE REPLACED IN 2013, BUT IT HAS SINCE LOST IT'S CHARGE. THE SUSPENSION IS BASICALLY STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE BILSTEIN SHOCKS. THIS YEAR THE CENTER LINK, IDLER ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THE BRAKES ARE FITTED WITH CROSSDRILLED ROTORS. AGAIN, THIS IS A 9C1 AND THE BRAKES ARE FACTORY OVERSIZE FOR IMPROVED STOPPING. THE BODY IS RUST FREE. THE PAINT STILL SHINES AND LOOKS GOOD FROM 10 FEET AWAY. IT HAS THE TYPICAL WAL-MART RASH, BUT IT IS 20 YEARS OLD. I WAS GOING TO REPAINT IT AND SCORED A COLOR MATCHED SET OF IMPALA SIDE MOLDINGS, BUT THAT PROJECT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THE SIDE MOLDINGS GO WITH THE CAR. THE WORST PART OF THE PAINT IS THE TRUNK LID. WHEN THE SPOILER WAS INSTALLED IN 2000 I HAD THE WHOLE AREA PAINTED TO MATCH AND NOW THE CLEARCOAT IS PEELING OFF, PLUS THERE ARE SOME TOUCH UPS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHILE I OWNED IT, BUT THE HOOD LOOKS LIKE IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE I GOT IT. THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT NEEDS MENTIONING IS THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. IT WILL CUT OUT FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT GENTLY TAPPING IT RESTORES IT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME (I WAY OVER SIMPLIFIED THAT). THERE IS A SERVICE ON EBAY THAT REPAIRS THIS FOR $49.00, I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. OVERALL THE CAR RUNS GREAT, HAS SURPRISING HANDLING AND LOOKS GOOD GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M SURE I FORGOT SOMETHING, BUT WILL UPDATE IF NECESSARY. ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO INSPECT THIS CAR TO FORM YOUR OWN OPINION. THE CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. ANYONE WITH LESS THE 10 POSITIVE FEEDBACK WILL NEED TO CONTACT ME OR THE BID WILL BE RETRACTED. A $500 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED AND IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
