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.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
