Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States

Offering for sale our PA titled 1997 Chevrolet High Top Conversion Van by Explorer. Kindly note that this van is titled in Pennsylvania, but is physically located and will need picked up in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  Port St. Lucie is about 40 minutes north of West Palm Beach airport.  Fly in and drive home!  We'll pick you up at the airport, drive you to the notary to sign off on the title and send you on your way! The van is also loaded with a full tank of gasoline to get you on your way home - our compliments to you!

This van has a few cosmetic issues on the front and rear bumpers as seen in the pictures. The top too, is a tad faded. We bought it with these imperfections because in our minds it doesn't impact the value of this van. We just purchased this van in late March 2014 for the purpose of loading it up with personal items and driving it to and from our Florida home on a few occasions.

When we purchased it in March 2014, we had it go through a PA inspection and had the following work performed: four new Goodyear Wrangler tires installed, a new Interstate battery, and we decided to go ahead and have the shop replace the fuel pump as well. It would start, but sometimes you'd have to turn the key to ignite it quickly or pump the pedal to get the gas flowing. Apparently this was a common issue with this model and year of Chevy van, so knowing that we didn't want to get stuck on our initial drive from PA to FL, we had the fuel pump and assembly replaced. It starts right up with no issues. Family members who come to visit have used the van in the interim on their "vacations" and just love it!

The interior is in great shape! No carpet stains, no smoke smell (we are non smokers), the leather is beautiful and looks in new condition. No wear marks to note. The headliner and wood trim are in great shape too. Also, there's a power inverter that we had put in this van. It draws from the main battery, and it's great for the addition of a DVD player or any other electronic you'd want to run in the van. Also, 3 "cigarette" style plug in's are near the inverter in addition to the one up front. It's great for charging multiple cell phones.

The van comes equipped with manual fabric blinds for extra privacy all around.  A television, VHS Player, DVD Player and pre-wired SNES hookups (add your own system) keep the little (and big) ones entertained.  All surround interior "mood" lights work perfectly.  Power windows, doors, locks and rear bed. 

You'll notice on the exterior that the typical wide style pin striping for this year has been removed. We used the 3m eraser wheel to take them off as we didn't like the outdated look. Some impressions still remain where the clear coat was applied. Refer to pictures as they do serve as part of the item description.  The smaller pin stripes still remain tastefully around the windows, etc.

Overall, this van is in very good condition other than the minor exterior bumps and bruises. We'd drive it anywhere, but a lifestyle change for us necessitates the sale of this van at this time.

This is an AS-IS transaction.  It is up to you, the buyer, to inspect this vehicle PRIOR to purchase.  Once you bid, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase this car.

Cash / cashier's check purchase only!

NOTE: Payment and vehicle pick-up are required within 3 days of auction end.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
