Up for auction is a 2006 Chevy Express 1500 cargo van. 

It's actually a 5 door but eBay only has an option to select 4 door. What's up with that? 


This van looks like it's in mint condition inside and out (if your eyes are closed) and has exceptionally low, low mileage. (344,045 mostly freeway)

It comes with free locksmiths stickers and some big, honkin' padlock hasps on the doors so you can keep the tweekers out of your stuff. 
(see photos, padlocks not included)

The interior is shockingly not too bad if you don't mind a couple of small, random seat holes and stains of unknown origin.
There's a slight odor but I can't quite put my finger on it (not that I'd want to) but I'm pretty positive it's not cat.
The headliner is in one piece but good luck keeping the sun visors from flopping around, I think it's kind of a GM deal.
The glovebox thingie on the doghouse is missing, it's been on my list of things to replace but I just haven't gotten to it yet.  

Despite having purchased the vehicle new, I have very few repair receipts. Not that the van never needed repairs, 
I'm just lousy at keeping records. Honestly in all the time I've owned the van it's never needed anything major, 
these 4.3L engines are darn near bulletproof. 

The oil was changed religiously and the the engine seems strong considering the mileage and the occasional 
"check engine light" that sometimes appears. 

I guarantee this van can be driven at least 10 miles with no major mechanical issues as long as long as you stick 
to the speed limit on side streets. Take it on the freeway and all bets are off. 

The windshield has some pretty interesting cracks; amazingly intricate spiderwebbing but not a ton of 'em. 
The rest of the glass is in good shape. All the doors lock and unlock, open and close and the windows operate 
as they should.The tires are needing replaced but hey, "bald is beautiful".

There are no electrical issues that I'm aware of but I'm unaware of many things. 
All the headlights, tail lights and turn signals worked the last time I checked them (sometime in 2012)  

Somewhat surprisingly, the body doesn't have any major dents.
The front bumper has kind of a big ding in it. Yeah, that's what happens when people J-walk. 

The back cargo area is just that.. a cargo area. There are no benches or racks of any kind but there is a 
bulkhead dividing the front of the cab from the back cargo area. 

I'm starting this listing a $1,000 (I know, right?!?) for a couple of reasons.  
1) even high mileage Express vans are going for stupid money, and
2) I'm sure that the van is worth at least that much in just spare parts.  

Oh, and this is awesome: The A/C actually blows pretty cold.   

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions or to schedule an appointment to come check it out. 
This sale is for local pickup only, I'm far too lazy to ship this van anywhere.
Heck, I don't even plan on washing it. 

I'm in the area of I-17 and Glendale Avenue in Phoenix.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
