For sale is a 2004 Chevrolet Express Conversion Van by Regency.  The van was custom built to the current owner’s specifications in 2004 by Regency Conversions in Fort Worth, TX.  The van started out as a standard Chevy Express Van factory-painted Bronze Mist, with a 5.3-liter V-8 and 4-speed automatic transmission.  Standard equipment includes front and rear disc brakes, air bags, power heated mirrors, power windows, power door locks, power front seats, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM radio with CD/Cassette players, HD locking rear differential, and, most significantly, swing-out side cargo doors on both right and left sides.

The Regency additions include leather seating throughout, first and second row captains chairs (front seats are 6-way power adjustable), a third row bench seat that power reclines to create a bed, custom door/side trim and ceiling panels with real wood accents throughout, sport two-tone exterior paint, high-grade carpeting and floor mats, shade blinds at all windows behind the first row of seats, and separately-controlled rear overhead air conditioning vents for the second and third row of seats.  An additional cushion increases the size of the bed; it is currently removed to provide greater luggage space behind the third row, but is easily attached with 9 bolts and a 1/2 -inch wrench.  The ceiling trim contains center and side accent lighting.  The third row area is equipped with a separate AM/FM CD unit and four wireless headsets.

The current owner completed the customization by adding Weld alloy wheels, a Class IV hitch receiver and trailer lighting, billet grill insert, locking lug nuts, four Polk DXi650 speakers, Sirius satellite radio, and Garmin Navigation.  The Sirius receiver and the navigation unit are professionally wired to the ignition circuit; no cord and 12-volt adapters are necessary to avoid dash clutter.

The original Michelin tires lasted almost 75,000 miles with no unusual wear; a new set of Michelin M/S 2 LTX tires mounted on recently chromed Weld wheels really make this van sparkle, and the handling is superb.  This vehicle is ideal for road trips.  All seats recline and adjust for optimum time in the saddle.  The 30-gallon fuel tank provides a range of over 600 miles on regular gas.  The storage space behind the third row provides adequate luggage capacity for seven travelers.

This van has served us well over the last 10 years with no problems other than a minor water pump leak resulting in pump and coolant replacement.  Engine oil and filter has been changed every 4,000 miles using AC Delco filters and Pennzoil motor oil.  The fuel tank has usually been filled with Chevron gasoline. 

If you are shopping for a quality van conversion that will likely provide trouble-free, stylish, comfortable, and convenient time on the road, this is it!  The second row seats are easily removable, allowing for a cavernous space to transport large items.  With the rear sofa reclined, it is possible to haul an item 12 feet in length!  A special feature is the cargo doors on both sides, which supports passenger convenience and easy cargo loading.  The side running boards provide easy access for the elderly.  The exterior of the van is near perfect:  no scratches, dents, parking lot dings, etc.  The leather seats are in excellent condition.  The factory carpeting has always been covered with auxiliary rugs and mats.  This van has always been garaged and will clear a 7-foot garage door opening and allow parking in many parking structures, which beats the limitations of a high-top van conversion.  You can pick this vehicle up in California and drive it home across country with confidence!  You will not be disappointed!

How Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra will take on the Ford F-150 profit machine

Fri, Aug 10 2018

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — When General Motors engineers were developing the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, some of them joined public tours of Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory to watch aluminum-bodied F-Series trucks go down the assembly line. The redesign of the Ford F-Series trucks, launched in 2014, set a new standard for fuel economy and lightweight vehicle construction. But armed with stopwatches and trained eyes, the GM engineers believed they saw problems. "They had a real hard time getting those doors to fit," Tim Herrick, the executive chief engineer for GM truck programs, told Reuters. His team did more intelligence gathering. They bought and tore apart Ford F-Series doors sold as repair parts. Their conclusion: GM could cut weight in its trucks for a lower cost using doors made of a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel that could be thinner than standard steel, shaving off kilograms in the process. These pounds-and-pennies decisions will have major implications in the highest-stakes game going in Detroit: dominance in the world's most profitable vehicle market, the gasoline-fueled large pickup segment. What's more, GM is banking on strong sales of overhauled 2019 Silverados and GMC Sierras to fund its push into automated and electric vehicles — a business many investors see as the auto industry's long-term future. The risks are high given the hits automakers have taken from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Rising aluminum prices spurred by Trump's tariffs are driving up costs on the Ford's F-Series, while rising steel and aluminum prices likewise drag on GM results. GM also has a significant risk should the United States, Mexico and Canada fail to agree on a new NAFTA trade deal, given GM trucks built at its Silao, Mexico, factory could face a 25 percent tariff if NAFTA collapses. Major profit per truck Interviews with GM executives and a tour at its factory here in northwest Indiana provide a detailed look inside GM's plan for the most important vehicles in its global lineup. These big pickups are everything Tesla's Model 3 or Chevy's Bolt electric car is not. The mostly steel body is bolted to the truck's steel frame, rather than the one-piece body and frame electric vehicles. The majority of trucks will have a V-8 gasoline engine powering the rear wheels — like the classic GM cars of the 1950s. Some Silverados will have new four-cylinder engines, but there is no electric or hybrid offering as of now.

Zombie cars: 9 discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
