1986 Chevrolet K20 Suburban

Up for auction is our 1986 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban.   This is a very well maintained vehicle with seating for 8 passengers.  The interior is in fantastic shape for a 28 year old truck.  All interior and exterior lights and gauges work perfectly (even the analog dash clock).  It has 3 rows of seats, all are without stains or tears.  The carpet is also in wonderful condition showing minor fading but no stains, tears or holes.  The dash pad has two thin cracks, one above the speedometer and one in the speaker opening.  All of the power windows function properly and smoothly.  The rear windows from the driver’s row back have been professionally tinted. Overall, the interior is nicer than most 2 year old vehicles you see listed on eBay.

The Suburban has 99,987 original miles on its  350 V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission.  This was the last year for a factory carburetor and no emission controls in 3/4 ton and up trucks; which means it has a factory dual exhaust without catalytic converters.  The Suburban  features a factory towing package and 40 gallon gas tank.  Factory luggage rack.  Front and rear air and heat (air conditioner compressor functions properly  but needs recharged).  The four-wheel drive works flawlessly both in high and low range.  Recent upgrades include:

·         New headliner

·         New tires with less than 3,000 miles

·         Upgraded to dual master cylinder

·         New windshield

·         Rebuilt front end

·         CD/mp3 compatible stereo

The Suburban body is in good shape for the year and this particular body style. The two-tone blue and silver paint shines nicely and presents very well.   The red pinstripes are straight and un-cracked.   There are a few spots where the paint is starting to bubble over the driver’s side front and rear wheel well arches.  Also the paint is starting to separate from the body behind the rear wheel wells just above tail pipes.  Just under the driver’s side long rear window there is a small rust spot starting.  Inside both front fender wells there is a small hole in the factory under-coating.  Behind that you can see factory blue painted metal.   If you are familiar with this body style suburban, these are all the typical problem spots; however none of the areas are very advanced and all-in-all it is in great shape.  There is an un-creased dent on the driver’s front door where the towing mirror mount meets the door.  It could be easily popped out by simply removing the interior door panel and pushing it out.  All of these issues are featured in the photo section.  I have listed all of the “problems” I can think of.

This suburban is very mechanically sound.  It starts every time and runs down the road straight and true.  Drive it anywhere in comfort and style.  It will make someone a great family truck, camping vehicle, work horse, first car……?  Try to find another 3/4 ton 4x4, this well maintained for such a low price.  We are selling it simply because we have run out of garage space and have two other Suburbans.  Located  in central Illinois, feel free to come and take a look if you are in the area.  Email, call or text (Six 1 eight) three 67 two eight 6 three with any questions.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
