New Virginia inspection This van is loaded! 5.7L v-8, Automatic transmission, Separate front and rear A/C systems, Power windows, locks, mirrors, ABS brakes, extended headroom, TV, separate VCR, four leather captains chairs, and a rear bench seat that folds to a full size bed with the touch of a button. This van is in excellent overall condition with very few minor problems. The body is straight, with very few, if any dents. The paint is still glossy , but the striping is worn. There is rust on the gutter at the top of the front window. It does NOT extend below the level of the lip of the gutter, and there are NO leaks. The interior of this van is in excellent condition, with minor sun fading on the drivers seat bottom, the wood on the center console, and a small area of carpet just inside the side doors. The leather upholstery is in excellent condition, all of the leather is still supple, and there are no cracks, rips, tears, or major stains. The rear bench seat works as it should. The stereo is in good condition, and all of the speakers work. The TV and VCR both work, as do all of the different lights, both in the ceiling and on the floor. The VCR can easily be replaced with an X-box or other game system. Both air conditioning systems work, but only blow warm air. I have not had this checked. The fuel gauge reads full all the time. I believe a new sending unit is needed. The motor starts easily and runs smooth. The exhaust was replaced several years ago, and has a nice rumble. The motor just received new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, PCV valve, air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter. The van was given an alignment, and the pitman arm was replaced two weeks ago. The transmission shifts as it should, with no problems observed. The van has new front brake pads and new brake fluid throughout. The rear pads were checked as part of Virginia's stringent annual State inspection. This van is in very good, original condition, with very few miles. It runs strong, and is ready to go wherever you want, and can find a road. This van came to me with fender flares and side skirts. The paint is peeling from the skirts, so the flares and skirts were removed and saved, along with all of the fasteners, and will be part of this auction. Ask any questions before you bid. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as the van is for sale locally. If you wish to view the van, please email me to set a time. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will meet your trucker within reason.$500 deposit due at auctions end, balance due within 7 days, preferably by wire transfer, but will accommodate to a point (No Nigerian checks). |

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city

For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]
Wed, Dec 3 2014The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
