I am offering a 1993 Chevy G20 full size, handicapped equipped van for sale. This van is equipped with hand controls, a power driver's seat which goes way back, then turns more than 90 degrees to the right to allow a person to transfer from a wheel chair into it. The seat also raises way up for ease of transferring.

The van also has automatic side doors which can be operated by a remote control, or operated at the right rear tailight via a magnet on the key ring. It uses fiber optic cables and power unit to achieve this. The hand controls, automatic seat, automatic door openers, and fiber optic capability were installed by Captain Vantastic in Esopus, NY.

The van is also equipped with a Braun lift, which works perfectly.

In addition, Captain Vantastic installed the tv screen, surround sound system with a sub woofer, two DVD players, and the power system which powers it. He also put in a new radio and 4 new speakers for it.

This van has 61,678 original miles on it and has been very well maintained. I bought it on Ebay in 2006 after my son became paralyzed in an auto accident. It has some small dents and dings, but has never been involved in a serious accident. The body is in excellent shape for its age as you can see by the pictures. The paint is original and still shines remarkably well for a van that is 20 years old. The paint has faded on the raised roof, which is fiberglass, but I still wax it all the time to keep it looking as good as it can. 

I have put a lot of money in it to keep it in top shape. The tires are new, and the brakes, rotors, brake lines, fuel tank and fuel lines were all replaced within the last couple of years.  In addtion, I had the whole front end suspension replaced. I was trying to do a little bit at a time and eventually would have done the whole vehicle over had we decided to keep it. I also had a rebuilt alternator installed in it.

I also replaced the two front captain chairs ($400 each). Captain Vantastic also did that job. The rest of the interior is in good shape, except for a few tears in the carpet and some stains as well. The stains were there when I bought it and I tried just about everything to get them out, but nothing worked all that well. The vehicle comes with the hold downs to secure a person sitting in their wheelchair in the rear. I have all the hold down straps as well. The back seat also folds down into a bed. It works, but we never used it for that.

The immediate need that the vehicle has is to get the A/C working. The compressor siezed, and since we decided to sell it, I decided to let the new owner deal with it. The outboard end of the compressor was removed so it wouldn't break the new serpentine belt I had them put in it.

Here is why I am offering the vehicle for sale. My son, who is a C-6 incomplete quadriplegic, is 6' 7" tall. He can enter the van, transfer from his chair to the driver's seat, and drive away. The problem is, he needs help to get from the driver's seat back into his chair. It means he has to depend on someone being wherever he goes to assist him.

So, after much discussion over many months, we looked at cars and he found a Chrysler 300 he can transfer into and back out of  fairly easily.  He can then collapse his chair and place it in the car. We are having Captain Vantastic install hand controls in that, so that means we no longer will need this van.

The van starts every time (the battery was replaced over the winter), does not burn any oil, and has no leaks of any kind. I had a new driveway put in last year and go nuts if any of my cars leak anything on it. I would not be afraid to jump in it right now and go across the country. It is that dependable. We have mainly used it to transport my son to various doctors near here and in New York City (he also had a heart transplant, and remains an out-patient at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan).

I have about $20,000 total invested in this van since we bought it in 2006. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles. It was just inspected in April and has a current registration. The title is free and clear. In short -- if anyone is looking for a van which is ideally suited for a handicapped person, or just wants a full size van for pleasure, you cannot go wrong with this one. You will be hard pressed to find one anywhere close to the age of this one, with so few original miles, and is set up for a handicapped person to drive.

I am willing to deliver the van free of charge within 50 miles of where I am located. Otherwise, the van will have to be picked up by the purchaser. I will not ship the van. I am asking for $500 within by Paypal 48 hours of purchase, and the rest paid by cashier's check or cash within 7 days of purchase.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries

Tue, Apr 24 2018

Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later.
