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.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.

2015 Chevrolet Trax

Thu, Dec 4 2014

After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
