1991 Suburban V1500 4x4, All Original, Fully Optioned - 39,210 Miles on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States

1991 Suburban V1500 4x4 1GNEV16K6MF112320 5.7 liter TBI This truck was originally sold on February 11, 1991 to RB
Grammer in Victoria, Texas. He kept it
in his garage for his entire ownership.
On September 14, 2012, it was sold to Mr. Van Hook with 34,653 miles on
it. He kept it parked in his garage;
after a year, his wife got tired of it sitting in the garage and he sold it to
me – he had only driven it 90 miles in one year. I bought it in July 2013 and the odometer read
34,741. The factory original white walls
and running boards were still on the truck, so naturally, I drove it
immediately to Discount Tire and bought BF Goodrich TAKOs and removed the
fiberglass running boards – 20 year old tires won’t last long. The truck now has 39,210 – I’ve put on almost
4500 miles in a year. However, it’s not
my daily driver – I have a 2013 Suburban 2500 for that. But I did drive the truck around Houston in
any weather and took it Brenham (65 miles each way) quite a bit. Even in 100 degrees in traffic, the AC is cold
and the engine temp hangs at 180. After I got it, I had it aligned, had the window tint put
on over the factory tint, and replaced the squeaky belt tensioner assembly with
a new one and a new serpentine belt. The
rear end was sagging a bit (like all these old Burbs seem to do) so I had a 1”
zero-rate block put on the rear to level it out. I also had my excellent electronics installer
remove the stock radio (I still have it – it works great) with an Alpine deck so
I could use the ipod in the center console and Bluetooth for my iPhone. Also, I had a MITO rear view mirror installed
so I could have homelink for my garages – it has the temp and auto-dimming
functions too. The truck has lived in my AC/heated garage for the past
year. It’s all very original but the
1991 GM build quality isn’t quite like my 2013.
But it is as it was built. My
paint gauge (I like old classics) says that the paint is all original with no
resprays – which is remarkable because many of these Suburbans had paint that
would peel off after a few years. I
attribute this to the garaged life it has led.
No dash cracks. No interior
fading. No funny smells – smells like
factory GM cloth. Runs and drive wonderfully. Stops well, idles well, doesn’t wander. The four-wheel drive works. The AC is very cold and it’s never been opened
– front and rear AC. No leaks, doesn’t
smoke at startup or otherwise. Engine
bay has never been cleaned – it actually just looks that way. Always starts right up first try. Passed emissions inspection without incident.
Known issues – all are listed – see the last few pictures
for a visual: ·
The
windshield cracked on me about a month ago – took a highway rock. It’s the original laminated windshield so I
have mixed feelings about replacing it because it’s off to the side and not in
my view. ·
The
rear barn doors have a big mark on them like something slid down and scratched
the paint. ·
One
big deep knick in the paint. ·
A
couple of stains on the carpet – center hump and rear cargo. ·
A
couple of paint rubbings where the running boards mated to the body around the
wheel wells. No rust anywhere. No mechanical issues.
None. I never towed with it, the
previous owner never towed with it, and I don’t think the original owner ever
towed with it. Feel free to drive it to
Alaska – it’s ready. Some

It’s not a show truck, but I bought it because it was so amazing in its
condition due to the owners before me who took very good care of it. And I love the color – very unique. I’ve got to shrink my classic cars – I just
sold a low-mile Mercedes wagon and now it’s time for this one. The truck is on the west side of Houston; clear title is in my name. I won’t disclose the reserve but it’s reasonable.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
