Up for sale is a well maintained 1996 Chevrolet (Chevy) S-10 pick-up. This truck has been in our family since it was new. I have owned the vehicle since around 40,000 miles and I am the second owner. This was my first vehicle and as such it has been well maintained and given plenty of TLC over the years. The truck currently has 211,XXX miles and is still my daily driver after 15 years of ownership. Vehicle is fully documented from mile 1 showing all regularly scheduled maintenance, upgrades and repairs. Documentation will accompany the vehicle for the new owner.

The 1996 model year was part the last body style of the S-10 that Chevy would produce before the 2WD model ended production in 2003. This truck has the Vortec 4.3L V6 which puts out 175 HP and 240 ft-lbs of torque (same as the SS models). It also has the five-speed manual transmission which was not available with the SS models (Chevy only offered them with automatic transmission). Onyx black exterior has been paired with the graphite interior.

The truck has had a few cosmetic modifications over the years with the addition of Super Sport / SS badging all around and the standard grille was replaced with a flat black one to better match the color of the truck and replicate the SS look which had color coordinating grilles. The original silver grille is included with the truck if the new owner wants to restore the truck to its factory appearance.

Other than the expected minor wear and some surface rust in a couple locations, there is no damage to the vehicle. The truck was involved in a minor incident in the early 2000s. Another driver backed into in it with their hitch receiver, denting the front bumper and permanently deforming the plastic license plate mount. All damaged components were replaced with brand new OEM/GM parts. All of the original parts which were removed as part of the repair will be included with the truck as well.

The interior is in very good condition. There is one small tear in the driver's seat which is part of 60/40 split bench design. Options on this vehicle include power steering, power brakes (disc front / drum rear), AC, AM/FM stereo with CD player and full size spare tire. Also included with the truck is a Truxedo tonneau cover (Lo Pro QT #543101) and form fitting all-weather indoor/outdoor car cover. The bed cover and car cover alone are worth over $500. Might make a nice custom project to drop in a V8 or just continue to use it as a low budget daily driver.

Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions and I would be happy to answer them. I am available to show the vehicle most evenings after 5:30PM CT or on weekends. We are located in Plymouth, Minnesota (Minneapolis - Twin Cities) and have the clear title in hand.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels

Sat, Dec 20 2014

The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
