My dad and I purchased this van back in May of 2013. Our plan was to fix it up over time and take it to concerts. Within the past year we have replaced the battery, put on 4 brand new tires, installed a horn, and had a shop put in a new radiator. The van runs and drives, but could use some tlc. There appears to be a short in one of the wires for the rear driver side turn signal. Also the gas gauge stopped working at the end of the summer last year, however it is probably an easy fix. We did not bother to fix it because we took it off the road for the winter. The exact mileage on the vehicle is unknown, however the odometer shows around 38,XXX miles. The previous owner was a mechanic and told us that he had replaced the engine and the transmission, as the van originally had a 427 engine in it that got about 7 MPG. We were told that he replaced it with a Chevy Small Bock 305 V8 with about 30,000 miles on it, and a transmission with about 60,000 miles on it. The previous owner did not have any paperwork to prove that the engine or transmission were replaced. The interior of the van is not original to the van. The previous owner re-did the interior in wood paneling to give it that "old-school" look. The captains chairs are very comfortable, but they are ugly. We covered them with some seat covers that are included with the van. The van does not have a radio installed. King Kong attracts a lot of attention wherever you go. It would be awesome for going to concerts or car shows. The drivers door has a hole rusted through it. That is the only notable rust on the vehicle. When I asked the previous owner about the custom airbrushed paint job I was told that the paint job is original to 1977. The artist that painted the van was Ron Johnson. I tried to research him online, but was unable to find any information about him online. The previous owner explained to me that the van was originally designed for Jerry "King Kong" Korab. He ordered the van in 1977, but when he went to pick up the van, he was told by his agent that he could not own a GM vehicle. Back in 1977 the Buffalo Sabres were sponsored by Mopar, who would not allow players to drive their competitors vehicles. The previous owner told me that the original build sheet for the vehicle is between the drivers side wall and the wood panel that lines the inside. This van is a lot of fun. The reason we are selling it is because we do not have the time, money, or skills to give this van the attention that it deserves. This van would make an awesome project for the right collector.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE

Tue, Jan 14 2014

General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications. Read more at Green Car Reports. LG Chem has broken ground on its EV battery plant in Nanjing, China. The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
