Don't let the mileage scare you away.  It runs and drives great!  The automatic transmission was rebuilt within the last 5,000 miles by a transmission shop (I didn't just put in a junk yard tranny, they actually rebuilt it and replaced the junk GM part that constantly fails with a high quality after market one).  The engine runs without any problems and there are no check engine lights on.  The previous owner says he replaced the engine with one that had 60,000 miles on it around 140,000 so according to them the engine has around 110,000 miles on it (but I don't have any documentation for that).  Either way, I would trust the engine to go cross country right now without any concerns or worries.  I use it as a back up vehicle for work and my normal daily commute is about 2-3 hours each way.  In the last month I've put about 800 miles on it and I'm not afraid to take it on the long trips.  That being said, the mileage may be a little higher once you come to pick it up because I do drive it once every week or two while I put my van in the shop for an oil change or brakes or whatever (like I said, I average about 1,500 miles per week so my van has to go in on a regular basis).  The oil was changed on the Avalanche about 600 miles ago and I always have them use good oil and the lucas additive.  The radio and cd player work fine.  The power windows work but the front passenger side window is slow going up and one time it actually got stuck half up so I don't use it any more (but it's not a problem because the ac blows cold and the heat blows hot).  There is a crack in the driver's side mirror but you can still see out of it fine and it's not so bad that it's trying to fall off or anything like that.  There are two small chips in the windshield that are both smaller than a dime.  They are both on the passenger side so they don't affect the inspection or the driver's view.  The cruise control stopped working but it does have it.  I haven't looked into it so I don't know if it's just a fuse or what it is (I'm not a mechanic so I don't know how to trouble shoot it and I don't drive it often enough to justify paying a mechanic to look at it).  The tires are in okay condition but will probably need to be replaced in the next 10-15,000 miles or so.  The body is probably an 8 out of 10.  The plastic moulding has a couple small bumps and bruises (as you can see in the picture but are in pretty good shape over all).  The only spot of rust I have seen is on the passenger rear wheel well (You can see it in the picture).  It is just starting to come out.  As long as you fix it before next winter it won't be a problem at all.  I would sand it down and spray paint it myself but the color matched paints from the auto parts store are never quite right so I would take it to an actual pain shop and pay the $100 to have them do it with the right paints (just my opinion).  There are no rips or tears in the seats.  The dash is in great shape.  It goes in and out of four wheel drive with the push of a button.  I only have smaller trailers (5'x8') but the Avalanche is rated to pull 8,100 pounds.  Over all this is a great running vehicle and since I'm listing it as a no reserve auction it's up to you how much you want to pay for it.  According to the websites it's worth close to $6-8k but I'm not greedy and I know it has higher miles.  If you're interested in a buy it now price email me an offer and if I like it I'll add the buy it now price to the auction for you (but be realistic, I'm not going to accept $2500 or anything close to it, just the transmission was $1600).

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Huge, pricey trucks haul jobs and profits for the Detroit Three

Tue, Feb 5 2019

DECATUR, Texas — Mickey McMaster is on his 12th pickup truck. The 61-year old farm equipment dealer in Decatur, Texas, two weeks ago treated himself to a 2019 GMC Denali for around $69,000 — a reward for long hours at work. "For me this is the Cadillac of trucks, it's a real luxury vehicle," McMaster said. "I've worked my way up to afford a truck like this and it shows that I've earned it." McMaster is the kind of customer General Motors Co is banking on as it plans to add 1,000 jobs at a plant in Flint, Michigan that will build a new generation of its largest pickups. Demand from Texas and other heartland states for big pick-ups is providing a lifeline to many workers the No. 1 U.S. automaker is laying off at plants elsewhere. The Detroit Three automakers and thousands of their U.S. workers are counting on customers like McMaster to keep buying bigger and more luxurious pickup trucks even if overall U.S. vehicle demand weakens this year, as most analysts predict. At Flint, GM will build a new generation of its heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierras, including luxury models that are some of the most profitable vehicles on the planet. GM, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Ram division own the segment and are each doubling down with new or redesigned models launching this year. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday celebrated the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. At the same time that GM is laying off thousands of U.S. workers and planning to shutter five North American factories, Flint is hiring. The plant runs on three daily shifts, six days a week. As the new model's assembly system ramps up, the plant's capacity will increase by more than 25 percent, plant manager Mike Perez told Reuters. The Flint plant plans to add 1,000 workers, more than half of the 1,500 factory workers who have asked to transfer from plants GM has targeted for shutdown as part of CEO Mary Barra's restructuring plan. "We're bringing in 50 to 100 people every week," said Perez. Workers last week were still finishing the job of retooling the Flint factory to build the new heavy-duty trucks as part of a $1.5 billion investment project.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
