scroll down to view over 50 photos of this cool old van!!

Here is the classic/vintage van everyone is looking for!  You hardly ever see these any more... especially a GMC Handivan, there simply are very few of these left anywhere.  
This is a very cool and rare vehicle.  This one is a good running "turn key" daily driver that is ready to go right now.  Jump in and drive it.  
  
'67 GMC 'Handivan', short wheelbase, panel van, no side windows.  Pretty much all stock, an original west coast survivor.  Even has original factory build sheet in it!  
I love this old van, but I simply have too many vehicles and I need to 'thin the herd' a bit.  I really hope this van will go to a new owner who will truly love and appreciate it.  
It sure is a neat old rig and has alot of soul.

The van is in overall good condition body with no major damage and no rusted out areas.  Its basically a 'clean slate' early chevy/gmc van for whatever you want to do.  
Factory west coast mirrors.  Two tone silver & blue paint is well worn, old & faded with plenty of 'patina', but still very presentable with a few spots of primer here & there.  
Has some filler here and there, and its share of blemishes, etc. that add plenty of character to this old van.  Please scroll down and view all the detailed pics!  
Restore as you drive it, or simply enjoy it as is.  Its a great old hot rod truck as is.  Its definitely got that vintage old school vibe that everyone loves.

This van features a Chevrolet 250 inline "straight six" engine from a mid 70's chevy truck.  I recently restored/overhauled the engine.  
It has all new rod/main bearings with new oil pump and fresh gaskets throughout.  
Has small chamber cylinder head from a 194 from a '64 chevy van to increase compression a bit (bumped it up to about 9:1 compression ratio) for a nice little performance gain.
Rochester carburetor with automatic choke.   Has a upgraded GM coil-in-cap HEI high energy electronic ignition with new plugs, wires, cap, rotor.  Reliable & starts every time.  
Runs good with strong oil pressure. Very clean engine, does not burn or leak oil.  Radiator is in good condition with new hoses, factory belly pan in place, runs nice and cool, does not overheat. Aftermarket oil pressure/ water temp gauges are mounted under the dash to keep an eye on the engine vital signs. 

Brand new clutch was installed with the engine.  3 speed saginaw fully synchro'd transmission with factory "3 on the tree" column shift.  
Transmission shifts smoothly in all gears as it should.  The 3 on the tree is alot of fun, and easy to drive!

Factory 12 bolt rear axle was an original heavy duty GMC option, along with factory heavy rear springs to give it that 'just right' hot rod stance.  Recent brake job.  Brakes work good.  

Vintage Cragar S/S chrome mag wheels with fat B.F.Goodrich radial T/A tires complete the perfect hot rod old school custom van look.  
Big & wide 305/50r15 radial T/A H50 in the back on 15x10 wheels. Fronts are 245/60r15 on 15x8 rims.  
Front tires have lots of tread, rear tires are getting worn down a bit more from burnouts/etc., but still have quite a bit of tread remaining.

This van is reliable and runs & drives great!  Lights, signals, hazards, brakes, horn, wipers, heat/defrost all work.   
Interstate battery and I upgraded the charging system with a GM 12si internally regulated high output alternator.
The 12si alternator is a nice upgrade, ready to run any additional lights, stereo equipment or whatever you want with plenty of juice for accessories.

Factory original low-back bucket seats are in place, but the factory upholstery was looking bad, so they have some black seat covers over them.  
Original dash pad is still in great condition, as are the defrost vents and the dash!

This van is ready for you to use as a daily driver "cool beater" or hit the road for that big camping road trip adventure!  
Jump in and use as is for the coolest shop truck around, rat rod parts chaser.  
Make it your own, surfer van, hot rod, rat rod, jalopy, custom 60's-70's van, or stock resto...  restore it as you drive it.  
This van is a clean slate ready for action, or ready to build into whatever you can dream. 

Clear WA state title in hand. 

This is a sweet old van, and it has been well cared for.  I've put a considerable amount of love, time and effort into it, but please don't come to pick it up expecting it to be 100% perfect like a new car, or something in perfect show condition.  This is a unrestored vintage vehicle and has its share of imperfections, etc. typical what you would expect for a 47 year old truck.  I have tried my best to describe this van as best I can, but it would be impossible for me to describe every last flaw and minor imperfection that is present.  Please be realistic.  It does have some typical minor issues for a vehicle this old, such as windshield has a crack over by the passenger side.  Radio doesn't work.  Back-up lights need to be hooked up.  Dash has a few non-stock holes drilled in it by previous owners for switches, etc.  Do not have a key for exterior door locks.  The roof had a square vent at one time, but it has been patched with a chunk from a roof welded in from another '67 van.  Please see all the pictures for details.   A few extra holes in the rear bumper.  etc.  etc. etc.  as long as you know its not a 100 point concours 'show van', then you are welcome to bid.  If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask!  Overall, it is a badass great old van that runs and drives well.  People love this thing, and it always gets alot of positive attention wherever I take it.  Gets smiles, waves, and thumbs up from all kinds of people.  Its ready for the next adventure.

I am available to show personally this van to anyone and you can test drive it too, just send me a message with your phone number.  This van is being advertised for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells locally.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
