For sale is a 2004 Chevrolet Express Conversion Van by Regency.  The van was custom built to the current owner’s specifications in 2004 by Regency Conversions in Fort Worth, TX.  The van started out as a standard Chevy Express Van factory-painted Bronze Mist, with a 5.3-liter V-8 and 4-speed automatic transmission.  Standard equipment includes front and rear disc brakes, air bags, power heated mirrors, power windows, power door locks, power front seats, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM radio with CD/Cassette players, HD locking rear differential, and, most significantly, swing-out side cargo doors on both right and left sides.

The Regency additions include leather seating throughout, first and second row captains chairs (front seats are 6-way power adjustable), a third row bench seat that power reclines to create a bed, custom door/side trim and ceiling panels with real wood accents throughout, sport two-tone exterior paint, high-grade carpeting and floor mats, shade blinds at all windows behind the first row of seats, and separately-controlled rear overhead air conditioning vents for the second and third row of seats.  An additional cushion increases the size of the bed; it is currently removed to provide greater luggage space behind the third row, but is easily attached with 9 bolts and a 1/2 -inch wrench.  The ceiling trim contains center and side accent lighting.  The third row area is equipped with a separate AM/FM CD unit and four wireless headsets.

The current owner completed the customization by adding Weld alloy wheels, a Class IV hitch receiver and trailer lighting, billet grill insert, locking lug nuts, four Polk DXi650 speakers, Sirius satellite radio, and Garmin Navigation.  The Sirius receiver and the navigation unit are professionally wired to the ignition circuit; no cord and 12-volt adapters are necessary to avoid dash clutter.

The original Michelin tires lasted almost 75,000 miles with no unusual wear; a new set of Michelin M/S 2 LTX tires mounted on recently chromed Weld wheels really make this van sparkle, and the handling is superb.  This vehicle is ideal for road trips.  All seats recline and adjust for optimum time in the saddle.  The 30-gallon fuel tank provides a range of over 600 miles on regular gas.  The storage space behind the third row provides adequate luggage capacity for seven travelers.

This van has served us well over the last 10 years with no problems other than a minor water pump leak resulting in pump and coolant replacement.  Engine oil and filter has been changed every 4,000 miles using AC Delco filters and Pennzoil motor oil.  The fuel tank has usually been filled with Chevron gasoline. 

If you are shopping for a quality van conversion that will likely provide trouble-free, stylish, comfortable, and convenient time on the road, this is it!  The second row seats are easily removable, allowing for a cavernous space to transport large items.  With the rear sofa reclined, it is possible to haul an item 12 feet in length!  A special feature is the cargo doors on both sides, which supports passenger convenience and easy cargo loading.  The side running boards provide easy access for the elderly.  The exterior of the van is near perfect:  no scratches, dents, parking lot dings, etc.  The leather seats are in excellent condition.  The factory carpeting has always been covered with auxiliary rugs and mats.  This van has always been garaged and will clear a 7-foot garage door opening and allow parking in many parking structures, which beats the limitations of a high-top van conversion.  You can pick this vehicle up in California and drive it home across country with confidence!  You will not be disappointed!

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe

Thu, Oct 16 2014

BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
