This 1990 Chevrolet Cheyenne
3500 4x4 diesel 1-ton dually military ambulance truck is a unique and
rare vehicle, with an incredibly low 454 actual miles. This is not a typo. Not
4540, not 45,400, not 454,000, but four hundred and fifty-four, period. It is
to all intents and purposes a brand-new truck. It was purchased from a Government auction. It
had been in storage for several years at the Marine Corps Base in Camp
Pendleton near San Diego. It had never seen active duty and was only driven for
short distances around the base, hence the amazingly low miles. It came with a government sticker showing the
original purchase price of $37,409. It’s powered by a 6.2 liter diesel engine and an automatic transmission,
and factory-equipped with four wheel drive. Because it’s a diesel, it never
needs to be smogged. The truck is in perfect mechanical condition and it runs beautifully,
just as you would expect for a vehicle that is practically new. I would not
hesitate to drive it from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle and back again. It was gone over thoroughly to make sure there were no mechanical issues
from the years of storage. It received six new Nexen Roadian AT II tires, a
full tune-up, new battery, new fuel pump, and all fluids were changed. Also,
the old R-12 air conditioning was converted to R-134a, and it blows ice-cold. The original military green paint still has a nice shine. However, the
clearcoat is peeling on the hood and top of the left fender, and some of the
paint on the rear door hinges is chipped. Also, all of the doors have military
insignia which were spray-painted over before they auctioned it. The body is almost perfect, with a few small dings, but no dents, rust,
or bondo. There are a few traces of very minor surface rust on the underside,
no doubt because of Camp Pendleton’s proximity to the ocean. Also, the front
roof vent cover is rusted through. The interior is like new. The only defect is a couple of incisions in
the rubber floormat, where something was apparently installed and then removed. The rear ambulance section is constructed of lightweight, sturdy
aluminum, including the interior panels. The two top gurneys can easily be
detached and slide right out. All of the original equipment is intact and operational, except for the
front-mounted spotlight. The red beacon on top revolves and can be seen for
miles, a great safety feature. The bank of overhead switches controls these
functions: floodlight, AC/heat blower, patient lights, beacon, suction, exhaust
vent, and intake vent. Even the suction machine works, and I’m sure someone can
find a good use for it! This truck would make an awesome custom expedition vehicle, toy hauler,
and/or RV. But if you’re a military vehicle collector, you’ll never find one as
pristine and original as this. |

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
