I bought this van from the original family because it was in such nice condition. The father had given it to his adult son and his family and I bought it from him. It is an Arizona rust free vehicle since new. I planned to drive it for years and put thousands into it to make it last. I have a large stack of receipts (included with the van) showing all that was done which includes head gaskets, wheel bearings, major A/C upgrades (blows 34 degrees at the vent) trans service, U joints etc. I then had an accident with it and my friend with a restoration shop bought it because it was such a nice clean and good running vehicle and had his 72 year old highly experienced and fussy craftsman restore it. When they took it to the state of AZ to be inspected the inspectors did not want to know where the damage had been. After inspecting the van, they could not tell what area of the vehicle had been damaged. The van needed a hood, right fender and grill/bumper. The air bags did not go off. The vehicle has been meticulously restored and the replacement parts professionally painted. The paint is shiny and matches perfectly. I borrowed it back after it was finished and it drives perfectly. I have had several of these and this one drives as well as any, even as well as the low mileage ones I have had. It has just had an alignment. It has decent tires although I would replace them in maybe 20,000 miles. Note that the van has custom tail lights. It was always a non smoker and the interior is clean. It has an after market stereo with a CD player. It has the optional factory chrome wheels which set it off nicely. It has privacy glass and dual A/C. It resembles a newer Astro and does not look outdated at all. Note the very minor wear spots on the driver's seat back. A vinyl repair guy can repair this very reasonably. The driver's seat bottom was reupholstered in the correct cloth. Note the underside shot, this clean Arizona van has NO rust. Call the owner of the restoration shop (and the van) at 928 ate 53 42 ate 5 for more details. His name is Bruce. This is a dependable and straight van. The last seat is missing, I used this vehicle for work and did not need it. Pay the "Buy it Now" price and we will get one from the local salvage yard and include it. Otherwise, they are readily available for $100.00 or less in most any salvage yard. Bid with confidence, this vehicle will serve you well. It is 70 during the day here in Phoenix, why not fly in and stay a few days and then drive it home?

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
