I am selling this for a friend. His name is Wayne, and his number is (708) 557-2300. Please do not email me with any questions. Give Wayne a call. This 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super Custom Camper Special is a true survivor, oiriginally from Idaho. It is truly a top-quality, highly original driver that has been very well taken care of, and is up to any task.

The certified actual mileage is just 87,800. Vehicle is driven during the week, so a few mils will be added. Certification of mileage will be provided upon sale. Look at the list of items this truck came with from the factory:

*402 Big Block, Original motor, all original specs.                                                                                   

*Power Disc Brakes, rotors and pads show very little wear                                                                    

*Power Steering

*Factory Air Conditioning, recently serviced, very cold

*Factory tilt steering wheel, a very rare option

In addition, the following has recently been completed:

*New Tires, Hoses, Belts, etc *Beautiful, aftermarket 16" wheels. Tailpipes replaced with original equipment equivalent. Complete tune-up, plus new filters.

You do not need to do anything to this truck but drive it, and keep it clean.

This is a Fantastic Cruze 'N Use Classic.  You can show it very well in local shows, and be very proud as the owner.

This truck was re-painted at some point in the original factory color scheme, Lemon-Lime with white. It was a high-quality paint job, and the color really pops, much better than the pics show. It is showing just a few very small spots of buff-through on a couple of the sharp edges. The pictures taken could not make it show up, but if you are very close to the truck, and looking for it, you can see it. This is not something anyone would see unless they are really examining the paint. 

With the exception of the seats, the interior is in fully original condition. Door panels, headliner, dash, steering wheel are all original. The seats have been recovered in a top-quality material similar, though not identical, to the original factory seats. Cushions/bolsters were replaced at that time, so the seats have provide a lot of support, very comfortable.

There is no rust perforation anywhere on this vehicle. All lights and gauges function as they should. THIS TRUCK DRIVES LIKE A DREAM! Straight down the road with no shimmy or wandering, no vibration anywhere, at any speed. Stops quickly in a straight line, thanks to the rare Factory Power Disc Brakes. It handles very well, corners like a modern truck. With the factory 402 big block, you have plenty of torque to get you moving quickly. The engine does not overheat, or burn oil. The transmission shifts smoothly, with no unusual noises. The bed has no dents, and is covered in a nice Silver-Gray spray-on liner that is a couple years old, and in good shape. Look closely at the pics to see the perfect sheet metal throughout the body of this truck.

The truck, and it's owner, Wayne, reside in Illinois. He has owned it over a year, and, and has driven it regularly during that time. He is a knowledgeable and detail-oriented auto enthusiast. He put much more time and money into it than he will ever get out. He is only selling it because his plans have changed, and he needs the money to complete other restorations. This truck was not bought with the idea of being a "flip". It was bought to fix up as a fine classic vehicle, which it now is. Wayne can be reached at (708) 557-2300. Be sure to have a list of questions ready, as he will answer anything you ask about the truck. Please do not call after 9:00 p.m., Central Time.

The winning bidder is required to pay $500, via paypal, or overnight certified funds, within 72 hours of close of auction. The balance must be paid within 7 days, via Certified funds, which are subject to "hold" until fully cleared, or via wire transfer.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015

Meet Alex Archer, the engineer behind GM's power-sliding center console

Sat, Feb 15 2020

In 2009, a GM manager complained to a 59-year-old GM technician about the hassle of retrieving items from a pickup truck bed after driving shifted the cargo. In two days, the tech had come up with the ideas that, ten years later, would debut as the MultiPro tailgate. The engineering teams kept the tailgate secret in part by hiding mock-ups in a locked storage closet in GM's Vehicle Engineering Center in Warren Michigan for two years. A piece in the Detroit Free Press reveals that another storage closet in Warren would play the same role in a different cloak-and-dagger operation, this time for the power-sliding center console in GM's new full-sized SUVs. During a meeting in early 2017, bosses gave the job of the console's creation to 24-year-old design release engineer Alex Archer, just two years out of Stanford University with a degree in engineering and product design.  This time, the catalyst for the feature was an internal GM think tank called co:lab, where employees suggest ideas. Execs gave Archer the task because "They needed someone willing to ask a lot of questions," her 36-month mandate to produce a six-way console that could be a standard cubby or a gaping maw able to swallow four gallon jugs or hide a secret compartment. Clearly, she succeeded. It took Archer and the team nine months to devise a prototype, another six months to get the green light for production. As with the tailgate, the team working on the console grew to include designers, production engineers, and suppliers. Archer, now 26, shepherded the process, and her name is on the patent. "It took a ton of people, I'm just somebody who stuck with it the whole time," she said. GM like her work well enough to produce the "Day in the Life" segment above, five months before the world would hear about the console. Archer's path to engineering was as unlikely as getting the job for the console. She had entered Stanford with plans to be a doctor. But an innovation class during her freshman year, and a sophomore summer spent helping her grandfather rebuild a 1937 MG engine recharted her course. Her grandfather told her, "You know, you could be an engineer for a car company." Consumer reaction to Archer's work won't be far off, the SUVs slated to hit dealerships soon. Meanwhile, she's busy on something that could be just as intense as the console: Restoring a 1955 Packard Clipper in her garage. Head to Freep to check out the story of Archer and the console.

Chevy Malibu will become 45-mpg strong hybrid with next update

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Come next year there'll be no more mild hybrid pretensions for the Chevrolet Malibu - the next-generation sedan will borrow technology from the 2016 Volt and get a proper hybrid powertrain. A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine gets help from a two-motor drive unit adapted from the Volt for 182 system horsepower, the motor drive powered by an 80-cell, 1.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Chevrolet says that when combined with features like grille shutters and a lower ride height, it expects the Malibu Hybrid will post a combined fuel economy rating of more than 45 miles per gallon, which would best the hybrid trims of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. Electric power alone can power the car up to 55 miles per hour, and The Bowtie's first use of exhaust gas heat recovery will help maintain high hybrid performance in cold weather and be used to heat the engine and cabin. The Malibu Hybrid should go on sale in the Spring of next year, for now there's a press release below. Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Derives Technology from Volt GM estimates combined fuel economy ratings to exceed 45 mpg DETROIT, 2015-03-25 – Chevrolet's recent production announcement of its all-electric vehicle based on the Bolt EV concept, as well as the introduction of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, will be joined by a strong hybrid version of the next-generation Malibu. Using technology from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt propulsion system, Malibu Hybrid will offer an estimated combined fuel economy rating exceeding 45 mpg, higher than the combined mileage ratings of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata hybrid variants. "The 2016 Malibu Hybrid will offer impressive fuel economy, exceptional driving characteristics and gorgeous styling," said Jesse Ortega, Chevrolet Malibu chief engineer. "Besides leveraging innovation from the Chevrolet Volt, the Malibu Hybrid also has unique features that help improve aerodynamics, like upper and lower grille air shutters to improve airflow and a reduced ride height, all of which help reduce fuel consumption," Ortega said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power.
