Up for auction is a 2006 Chevy Express 1500 cargo van. 

It's actually a 5 door but eBay only has an option to select 4 door. What's up with that? 


This van looks like it's in mint condition inside and out (if your eyes are closed) and has exceptionally low, low mileage. (344,045 mostly freeway)

It comes with free locksmiths stickers and some big, honkin' padlock hasps on the doors so you can keep the tweekers out of your stuff. 
(see photos, padlocks not included)

The interior is shockingly not too bad if you don't mind a couple of small, random seat holes and stains of unknown origin.
There's a slight odor but I can't quite put my finger on it (not that I'd want to) but I'm pretty positive it's not cat.
The headliner is in one piece but good luck keeping the sun visors from flopping around, I think it's kind of a GM deal.
The glovebox thingie on the doghouse is missing, it's been on my list of things to replace but I just haven't gotten to it yet.  

Despite having purchased the vehicle new, I have very few repair receipts. Not that the van never needed repairs, 
I'm just lousy at keeping records. Honestly in all the time I've owned the van it's never needed anything major, 
these 4.3L engines are darn near bulletproof. 

The oil was changed religiously and the the engine seems strong considering the mileage and the occasional 
"check engine light" that sometimes appears. 

I guarantee this van can be driven at least 10 miles with no major mechanical issues as long as long as you stick 
to the speed limit on side streets. Take it on the freeway and all bets are off. 

The windshield has some pretty interesting cracks; amazingly intricate spiderwebbing but not a ton of 'em. 
The rest of the glass is in good shape. All the doors lock and unlock, open and close and the windows operate 
as they should.The tires are needing replaced but hey, "bald is beautiful".

There are no electrical issues that I'm aware of but I'm unaware of many things. 
All the headlights, tail lights and turn signals worked the last time I checked them (sometime in 2012)  

Somewhat surprisingly, the body doesn't have any major dents.
The front bumper has kind of a big ding in it. Yeah, that's what happens when people J-walk. 

The back cargo area is just that.. a cargo area. There are no benches or racks of any kind but there is a 
bulkhead dividing the front of the cab from the back cargo area. 

I'm starting this listing a $1,000 (I know, right?!?) for a couple of reasons.  
1) even high mileage Express vans are going for stupid money, and
2) I'm sure that the van is worth at least that much in just spare parts.  

Oh, and this is awesome: The A/C actually blows pretty cold.   

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions or to schedule an appointment to come check it out. 
This sale is for local pickup only, I'm far too lazy to ship this van anywhere.
Heck, I don't even plan on washing it. 

I'm in the area of I-17 and Glendale Avenue in Phoenix.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
