1975 Chevy G-10 Shorty van. I picked up this van thinking I would turn it into a vintage/retro style carpet cleaning van. The 6 cylinder engine runs good, it was originally a 3 speed manual looking at the build sheet, now it has a TH-350 automatic. The first night I drove this home I was headed down the highway and the speedo only was reading at 45 mph, I asked my girlfriend why she was so far behind me, and she said when you hit 90 I figured you could get the ticket.....so the speedo isn't accurate at all, probably tall gears in the rearend for the manual trans and that's why it's so far off.
It leaks a little oil, probably burns a little too, I just got a brand new battery, changed the oil, put a new waterpump and radiator in it last week along with a new belt. It doesn't have power anything, manual brakes, manual steering, no A/C. I've never calculated it, but it probably does pretty good on gas. The wheels and tires are custom 17x8.5 with Toyo 255/60R17 tires, they are all the same so you can rotate them front to back. the tires have about 65% or so left and are in great shape with even wear.
The paint is original, and obviously gone on the roof. My plan was to wetsand it all out and just clear the whole thing, it would look ratty, vintage, ugly to some, but I thought it would be cool. The inside is completely gutted, the floor in the very center has surface rust, some genius put foam between a wood floor and the metal, not a big deal and it isn't rusted through. It was pretty much a hippie van when I got it, had a place for a bed and was all wrapped in a nasty blue plush velour crap..... I hauled it to the dump, you can thank me later. ick!
So, you basically a getting a nice solid, original chevy van to build or use as you desire. I don't see any reason why you couldn't fly out and drive it home. In the back you get a chevy bench seat to mount or toss, the stock wheels, and some aluminum running boards. the only thing that really needs fixed is the roof vent that was added in the back, it needs a new cover, but I'd rather see someone take it out and weld it up the way it came.
It's going to sell to the highest bidder. I just put over $200 into battery, radiator, waterpump, it has a $1500 set of wheels and tires on it, I'm setting the opening bid less than the wheels alone...... It has about a half tank of gas in it too.
Any questions, call me

Valet mode captures joyride in red Corvette
Thu, Dec 18 2014A man in California is among the first to catch a valet behaving badly in his 2015 Corvette using a controversial built-in recording feature. Dan Cowles told KTLA 5 when he bought his dream car, a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, he opted for the Performance Data Recorder. The Corvette PDR uses a high-definition camera mounted in the windshield header, a microphone in the cabin and a GPS receiver that record and track the sports car's movements and sounds. They work together to produce a video with telemetry overlay, so you can see acceleration rates, lap times and g-forces. The system can be customized to show extensive performance data, or simply video of your drive like a traditional dash cam. It also comes with Valet Mode, which locks the glove box, disables entertainment and records video. The audio recording feature ran afoul of several state's recording consent laws, but this video has no audio, indicating the fix may have been as easy as turning off the microphone. Cowles dropped off his hot red 'Vette with the valets at the Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa, CA. When he got his car back he checked the PDR and discovered footage of the valet taking a short, but intense, joyride in the garage. In the video, the valet finds a straightaway in a tiered parking garage and pushes the car to 50 miles per hour in five seconds before quickly stopping. He then parks the car without incident. The valet then gets out of the car and takes one more admiring look at the front. The valet company has yet to commented on the video, according to Fox News, but valets everywhere should be on notice; that little red Corvette you have your eye on may have its eyes on you.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
