2003 Chevy Astro van for sale. It is currently decked out as an ice cream truck, but it can easily go back to the conversion van it started out as a few months ago, as I kept all seats and parts and didn't strip the interior. See, I had a hunch my business idea might fail here in my small town! So I figured at some point I may have to throw in the towel and sell this badboy to feed my family. Sadly, I was correct in my foresight. But hey! Maybe you live in a much better town for peddling goodies than I do! Maybe you're having a heck of a time finding a starter truck like I was! Well, I've done the work for ya! Van has a glass top freezer and a 2000w inverter with extra battery. Nothing fancy inside, just functional. You're even welcome to whatever product is left in said freezer, but keep in mind I'm gonna keep selling what I can until the van sells. So if you buy it now, you get a fully stocked ice cream truck. In a week or two... not so much. I am also more than happy to share what I've learned about the business. Such as, don't attempt this in a town with a population of under 900. Sure, we have thousands of cows, but apparently they don't dig ice cream. Moving on....  Mechanically, the van is in great shape. It was neglected when I bought it, but I worked on it ALOT before I could begin tooling around playing loud childhood tunes. Everything I am about to list was done in April of this year...

New brakes front and rear
New rotors in front
Flushed radiator
Full tune-up, including new cap and rotor (dear god, what a PAIN on a van!!!! be very, very happy that I took care of this for you!!)
New catalytic converter (old one was stolen, can ya believe some people??)
New battery
New alternator
New fuel filter

Oh, and the paintjob is new too... done the first week of May.

Tires are very good, but not new. Any questions about it mechanically, just ask. I may have forgotten to list something...

What it currently needs:

it's about ready for an oil change, and the service engine light just came on. I am going to put the scanner on and check it out, but it's nothing serious, as the van is still running perfectly fine. The AC is fully charged and works, but the blower has a glitch and it won't blow the air forcefully enough to cool you off unless its cloudy and mild outside already. The gas guage also doesn't work... it almost always claims it is empty. So keep track of your mileage to have a realistic idea of your fuel level. (It gets an average of 17mpg)

 ****If you want this as a regular van, not Ice Cream Truck, I will be happy to remove all of the decals prior to delivery and put back all the seats, etc.

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
