1995 Chevrolet Astro Van Converted Campervan More Photos: http://imgur.com/a/wsYh8#0 This great van has been lovingly converted into a live-in camper van, great for weekending or even long-term camping. We have been living in it for 5 months and loving it, traveling the country. We are heading back to Australia and looking for someone else who wants a great experience in our little camper. I bought the van on eBay last year and converted it to a campervan myself. It has been a great little machine and has given us very few problems. The car itself has 222,500 miles on it and it has been very well maintained. All of the front suspension has just been replaced at a cost of about $900. As well, the radiator, Air Conditioning lines, brake drums, rotors and bearings have also just been replaced at a cost of about $700. The car is in great shape and has always been cared for. There are some cosmetic paint chips off the front of the car as well as a few small spots on the side of the car but NO RUST! The tires are only 6 months old and have about 18,000 miles on them. There was also a fuel system cleaning and coolant flush & hose replacement done 6 months ago. The ignition battery was also replaced and is only 4 months old. It has a nice comfortable full bed in the back and we are happy to include bedding with that. The bed is built up on a wooden platform so you have a lot of storage underneath the bed. Storage is accessible from the door side and the back. It also includes long storage bins that slide under the bed which are great for long term clothing or pantry storage. There are also two smaller storage bins for dishes and pots/pans as well as food. It comes with all the pots & pans you'll need for camping (maybe even more than you need!) as well as a two-burner propane stove and a 20lb propane tank. Fire extinguisher included as well, though we haven't used it - thankfully! - it's always good to have. Stove originally $110, Propane tank $35 and it has about 2 gallons in it. Fire extinguisher $35. Here are all the pots, pans, dishes and silverware included: 1 large pan with lid, 1 medium pot with strainer lid, 4 plates, 2 small bowls, 1 medium bowl, 4 large square tupperware, 3 small round tupperware, 1 plastic strainer, 1 cutting board, 1 turner/spatula, 1 cooking spoon, 1 chef's knife, 1 bread knife, 4 steak knives, 2 butter knives, 4 forks, 3 large spoons, 2 small spoons, 1 soup ladle, 1 cheese grater, 1 pasta spoon, 1 peeler, & 1 can opener. There is additional storage above the driving seats - two small cubbies good for books or other things accessible from the bed, as well as a larger storage area in the center which we have been using for clothing. The van also includes a black-out curtain which runs across between the bed section and the driving seats. Each window in the rear has custom-cut 1/2" insulation panels which can be easily put in place. The whole effect is good for privacy and keeping the temperature in the van comfortable. There is also a 250Ah 12V secondary battery system that charges from the 80A alternator and then is isolated away from the ignition system so that your ignition battery is always protected from being discharged by the secondary battery system. There are two 12V outlets in the rear of the van that can support up to 15A DC appliances. (Battery originally $450, Outlets $6) As well, the 2A LED lighting runs from the secondary battery and is dimmable using its small switch. (Originally $19) A 33 quart fridge is also included (20" x 14" x 16") which runs directly off the secondary battery using a dedicated 12V outlet in the front of the car. The fridge can also be switched to keep food hot if needed. (Originally $180) As well, there is a 350W 120V DC/AC Inverter connected directly to the secondary battery that can be used to charge laptops/phones/cameras, other small AC appliances (under 350W peak). (Originally $35) There is also a 12V adapter that can be used with the inverter to connect to the ignition battery when driving if the secondary battery is discharged. There are 3 appliances that can be connected to the 12V outlets in the rear: a 48W heated blanket for the cold nights, a 10W fan for the hot nights, and a 100W electric kettle for heating water for cooking, tea or coffee. (Heated Blanket originally $35) (Electric Kettle originally $28) It also includes a 40-cup BritaMAX household water filter with a brand new filter. (Originally $35) There is also a Propane and Carbon Monoxide detector wired directly to the battery, so you are safe from accidental leaks or carbon monoxide issues. (Originally $65) Also includes a first aid kit and a large USA/Canada/Mexico road atlas. All the items included with the van were bought new 5 months ago so they have only minimal wear on them. I'm sure there will be more things I can throw in that I've forgotten to put in the listing. Shipping costs will vary depending on where you are located. I am located in Sarasota, FL. Please use the shipping estimator through ebay to determine shipping or contact me to make plans to pick up the van. Shipping is flexible so please contact me with any questions.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
