Up for auction is this 1998 Chevrolet truck. I don't need it anymore as I have another vehicle. Truck has 232k miles on the body, and from the previous owner it has 63k miles on the purchased new from the factory 5.7L motor, as well as 63k miles on the crate transmission. Runs great, starts nice and easy every time.
Mild modifications; New Magnaflow cat-less exhaust ( Check engine light is on due to there being no cats. I've had it scanned on a computer several times to verify. ) ran from the headers back a couple months ago. K&N air intake, lowered several inches with real shocks, no haggard set up with lowering blocks. Has Power Steering/Power Windows/Power Locks, heat and A/C, though A/C needs to be recharged. Haven't bothered recharging it myself because because I like the windows down.
It has the third door, but I cannot get it to open anymore. Window tint all the way around, no bubbling or peeling. Recently had 2 new Sony Xplode speakers installed in each door. Everything works as it should (besides A/C). Interior is in decent condition. Headliner is falling slightly in a couple places, nothing annoying or major. Seats are clean, no rips or cuts. Typical age from getting in and out shows.
Exterior is okay. Tail gate is functional, but has a dent in the lower right corner from previous owner. Driver side passenger door has a slightly long L shaped crack in the paint, but it doesn't effect the overall integrity. Driver side rear quarter panel above the tire has a dent, but it's not major and could be easily fixed. Body is basically in "truck" condition, but a little better. Vehicle has been smoked in. Few scratches here and there, could use a buffing. But overall still a good looking truck.
New tires all the way around, a little over 1,000 miles. New brake rotors and pads installed recently. In the time that I've owned it, I've maintained it well as I do with all my vehicles. Oil changed a little over 1,000 miles ago, coolant flushed and replaced. I had the tires balanced and rotated a few months ago and at that time I asked my mechanic to examine it for any issues he may see. The only thing he came across was the driver side ball joint being a little loose. He said it wasn't major, and I haven't had the time or extra money to repair something that isn't major. I personally have driven the truck over 1,000 miles after I was notified and haven't had any odd issues. This is a very reliable and solid truck, and if I didn't need the money I would keep it and drive it for another 10 years.
If you cannot pick up locally, having it shipped is solely the buyers responsibility. Truck is sold as is.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

Recharge Wrap-up: Lexus CT 200h is NWAPA's favorite hybrid, 'No Charge to Charge' in LA
Thu, Jul 24 2014The Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) has given the Lexus CT 200h its Favorite Hybrid title. It named the compact luxury hybrid its favorite of 2014 at its Drive Revolution in Portland (where it also named the new Volkswagen Golf TDI the Northwest Green Car of the Year). According to NWAPA president Nik Miles, the CT 200h earned the honor for "impressive combination of state-of-the-art small car luxury and hybrid technology." For 2014, the Lexus CT200h got an updated front end, including the spindle grille we've been seeing on new Lexus vehicles, plus a redesigned steering wheel and sliding sun visors. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet credits the Malibu for helping make stop-start mainstream. Chevrolet started including stop-start technology standard in Malibus equipped with the four-cylinder engine. Chevy has sold about 83,000 of that model, so 97 percent of 2014 and 2015 Malibu sales include stop-start. Now, that technology has made its way into the 2015 Impala. With drivers idling an average of 16 minutes a day, stop-start can significantly reduce harmful emissions and save fuel. According to Navigant Research, we can expect annual sales of cars equipped with stop-start technology to surpass 55 million by 2022. Read more in the press release below. Nissan Leaf customers in Los Angeles will get access to free charging beginning August 15. Nissan is extending its "No Charge to Charge" promotion to LA, which will allow customers to charge at public charging stations at no cost. Leaf customers - including those who bought or leased their car from the participating dealerships on or after July 1 - will get an EZ-Charge card, allowing them to use ChargePoint, Blink, CarCharging, AeroVironment and NRG eVgo chargers for free. Rapid chargers can charge the Leaf's battery to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Nissan plans to offer the "No Charge to Charge" in at least 14 more markets in the US, bringing the total to 25, within the next year. See the press release below for more details. California will get six all-electric school buses for three school districts as part of a demonstration program. The California Energy Commission awarded a grant of $1.4 million for the program to National Strategies LLC; this is in addition to a $2.2-million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The EV buses use vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing them to sell energy back to the grid when it is needed.
