Chevrolet G20 Mkiii High Top Conversion Van - 60k Miles! on 2040-cars
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
19954 Chevy G20 High top conversion van Sixty thousand original miles! New Virginia inspection This van is loaded! 5.7L v-8, Automatic transmission, Separate front and rear A/C systems, Power windows, locks, mirrors, ABS brakes, extended headroom, TV, separate VCR, four leather captains chairs, and a rear bench seat that folds to a full size bed with the touch of a button. This van is in excellent overall condition with very few minor problems. The body is straight, with very few, if any dents. The paint is still glossy , but the striping is worn. There is rust on the gutter at the top of the front window. It does NOT extend below the level of the lip of the gutter, and there are NO leaks. The interior of this van is in excellent condition, with minor sun fading on the drivers seat bottom, the wood on the center console, and a small area of carpet just inside the side doors. The leather upholstery is in excellent condition, all of the leather is still supple, and there are no cracks, rips, tears, or major stains. The rear bench seat works as it should. The stereo is in good condition, and all of the speakers work. The TV and VCR both work, as do all of the different lights, both in the ceiling and on the floor. The VCR can easily be replaced with an X-box or other game system. Both air conditioning systems work, but only blow warm air. I have not had this checked. The fuel gauge reads full all the time. I believe a new sending unit is needed. The motor starts easily and runs smooth. The exhaust was replaced several years ago, and has a nice rumble. The motor just received new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, PCV valve, air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter. The van was given an alignment, and the pitman arm was replaced two weeks ago. The transmission shifts as it should, with no problems observed. The van has new front brake pads and new brake fluid throughout. The rear pads were checked as part of Virginia's stringent annual State inspection. This van is in very good, original condition, with very few miles. It runs strong, and is ready to go wherever you want, and can find a road. This van came to me with fender flares and side skirts. The paint is peeling from the skirts, so the flares and skirts were removed and saved, along with all of the fasteners, and will be part of this auction. Ask any questions before you bid. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as the van is for sale locally. If you wish to view the van, please email me to set a time. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will meet your trucker within reason.$500 deposit due at auctions end, balance due within 7 days, preferably by wire transfer, but will accommodate to a point (No Nigerian checks). |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
