Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States

Offering for sale our PA titled 1997 Chevrolet High Top Conversion Van by Explorer. Kindly note that this van is titled in Pennsylvania, but is physically located and will need picked up in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  Port St. Lucie is about 40 minutes north of West Palm Beach airport.  Fly in and drive home!  We'll pick you up at the airport, drive you to the notary to sign off on the title and send you on your way! The van is also loaded with a full tank of gasoline to get you on your way home - our compliments to you!

This van has a few cosmetic issues on the front and rear bumpers as seen in the pictures. The top too, is a tad faded. We bought it with these imperfections because in our minds it doesn't impact the value of this van. We just purchased this van in late March 2014 for the purpose of loading it up with personal items and driving it to and from our Florida home on a few occasions.

When we purchased it in March 2014, we had it go through a PA inspection and had the following work performed: four new Goodyear Wrangler tires installed, a new Interstate battery, and we decided to go ahead and have the shop replace the fuel pump as well. It would start, but sometimes you'd have to turn the key to ignite it quickly or pump the pedal to get the gas flowing. Apparently this was a common issue with this model and year of Chevy van, so knowing that we didn't want to get stuck on our initial drive from PA to FL, we had the fuel pump and assembly replaced. It starts right up with no issues. Family members who come to visit have used the van in the interim on their "vacations" and just love it!

The interior is in great shape! No carpet stains, no smoke smell (we are non smokers), the leather is beautiful and looks in new condition. No wear marks to note. The headliner and wood trim are in great shape too. Also, there's a power inverter that we had put in this van. It draws from the main battery, and it's great for the addition of a DVD player or any other electronic you'd want to run in the van. Also, 3 "cigarette" style plug in's are near the inverter in addition to the one up front. It's great for charging multiple cell phones.

The van comes equipped with manual fabric blinds for extra privacy all around.  A television, VHS Player, DVD Player and pre-wired SNES hookups (add your own system) keep the little (and big) ones entertained.  All surround interior "mood" lights work perfectly.  Power windows, doors, locks and rear bed. 

You'll notice on the exterior that the typical wide style pin striping for this year has been removed. We used the 3m eraser wheel to take them off as we didn't like the outdated look. Some impressions still remain where the clear coat was applied. Refer to pictures as they do serve as part of the item description.  The smaller pin stripes still remain tastefully around the windows, etc.

Overall, this van is in very good condition other than the minor exterior bumps and bruises. We'd drive it anywhere, but a lifestyle change for us necessitates the sale of this van at this time.

This is an AS-IS transaction.  It is up to you, the buyer, to inspect this vehicle PRIOR to purchase.  Once you bid, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase this car.

Cash / cashier's check purchase only!

NOTE: Payment and vehicle pick-up are required within 3 days of auction end.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.
