1969 Chevy S10 Van With 7,700 Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Evanston, Illinois, United States
|
1969 Chevy S10 Van. 7,700 miles. From small volunteer fire department in Marion, North Dakota. Delivered new to them from local dealer in 1969. Have original protecto-plate, owner's manuals, and other paperwork including recent work done. I purchased this directly from them six or seven years ago and drove it very little. Put a new exhaust, plug wires, cap and rotor, plugs, and changed all the fluids. Still has the original tires on it, would replace when purchased because they are definitely "maypops". Clear Illinois title. This van runs and drives like new. It has small dings and dents, and the original paint is showing some wear. It does wear awesome Patina and I wouldn't do a thing to it unless I wanted to make it look brand new and use it as it was intended. It has the small bench seat from an ambulance company in Chicago, and two stretchers mounted on the inside. Has original spare and EVERYTHING works including two spotlights on the roof. I purchased van to haul motor scooters around and just never ended up using it. It's very cool, very unusual and rare, and in wonderful shape. And, it's a CHEVY! 3 on the tree transmission, shifts fine. Manual brakes, gone through, stop great. Original interior, in excellent condition. ALL gauges work great. Runs perfectly and is surprisingly very fast. Needs: Handle for one of the window cranks (will supply) new tires if transported over 100 miles a new owner. Please only bid if you are serious. I do not accept bids from folks with less than a 5 score, and you'll have to contact me if you are in that category. ASK if you have any questions and do NOT bid if you don't have the funds to pay at the close of the auction. Payment by certified check or cash only; vehicle will be released when funds have cleared. This is one of a kind, the miles are totally original, and it would be a great candidate for a show van or just to drive for years "as is." No warranty expressed or implied, car is being sold "as is" and "where is". I will help arrange transport through an outside carrier if that's what the buyer wants. No disappointments with this van. |

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
