2002 Chevy Avalanche
flat/satin black exterior gray cloth interior Z71 - 4x4 (also has auto 4x4 option) towing package This was my everyday driver, I have a company car now and need to sell the truck to help pay for private tuition. This is a 4 door truck/Avalanche and has been really nice for me. I love having the bed and the 4 doors. I had a local shop paint the truck flat/satin black. My son wanted to go for the zombie apocalypse look and it really worked out nice. I had all side windows tinted 5% limo to match the truck. The rear removable window is factory tinted and I didn't change it. The rear factory window comes out and has an inside storage area for the window. You can also fold down the rear seats and have a longer bed that is open to the back. I believe this was a one year only option on the Avalanche and 2002 was the one with this very desired option. I put in new front headlights, running lights, rear taillights when the truck was painted. I also put on two new outside side mirrors. The ones I purchased are heated mirrors but the truck doesn't have this option. The mirrors have the heated symbol but they don't work. The mirrors from the inside controls go down and out, but not up and in - I believe this is because I bought the wrong mirrors. This is not a big issue to me, but I wanted to be up front. The outside mirrors have the puddle lights. The interior seats have no rips and are in perfect like new condition. There is a little foam wear on the drivers side bolster from getting in/out but the factory seat cover isn't ripped and it isn't horrible. The carpet is starting to show its age, but it isn't horribly stained or ripped. I was going to install black carpet if I kept the truck. The headliner is perfect and no stains. The center console is perfect and isn't ripped anywhere. The dash is not cracked and is in perfect condition. The digital dash cluster is out (lights only) but the gauges work. I have a Snap-On diagnostic computer that I can plug in and show the actual mileage. I have been told the cluster can be repaired for $125 and wouldn't mind having it fixed if a deal is made on the truck with the buyer. Even though the cluster is out the mileage still keeps running and its only the visible light part of the cluster that is out, you can search for more details on this issue. There is no check engine light on and I still drive it everyday after work. Two door panels show a small cut/divot in the door panel. I took pictures of the areas. The one on the drivers door is inside the handle area about the size of a dime. The one on the passenger rear panel is about the size of a nickel. The body shop where I had the truck painted said they are small cuts in the vinyl and they can be repaired rather easily. I had the truck painted last year with base coat/clear coat and had a flattener used in the clear coat. This looked great for about six months until my son used a sponge and a shammy with wax residue on it and it turned my lower moldings transparent white where he rubbed on the truck. While this paint procedure produced a much flatter look it wasn't the look I was going for anyway. Last month I had the body shop paint it again but this time I wanted the flat/satin look and used a Dupont Hot Hues Hot Rod Black 2k Urethane paint. This has the same UV protection as the other and has better color retention. This is also a popular paint product that keeps it sheen and color for years. This is not the "paint it primer black and go with it" that turns all white after six months like the old days. If you would like paint pictures of the before and now paint job just let me know. The truck also started out originally painted from factory gloss black and I had them leave the jambs gloss black in the even I ever wanted to go back (but I wouldn't even if I was keeping the truck). The truck runs and drives great and drives smoother and better than my wifes 07 Denali. The tires are worn and need replacing but it still drives excellent and smooth. I was going to change the rims and tires and go black if I kept the truck. If the truck sells at reserve and the new owner wants the factory rims that are pictured on the truck painted flat/satin black like the rest of the truck I will have it done at the shop. The AC blows super cold, I had the high pressure AC line replaced over the summer and had it evac and recharged at that time, holds the charge and doesn't leak anywhere. The heat blows super hot and will run you out of the truck once it warms up to regular engine temperature. The right rear window is slow to go down and up - probably needs a window motor to be fast like the rest of the windows (common GM issue) but it still rolls up and down - just slow. All of the rest of the defrost, rear defrost, interior/exterior rear cargo lights, fog lights, everything else works as it should. There are a few lights out on the radio (some of the buttons do not light up like the rest of them). I can take a picture for you if this is an issue showing you which ones. I think I have detailed everything about the truck, if you have any questions or are near Nashville TN and want to see and test drive it just message me. I do have the truck for sale local and reserve the right to end the auction if it hasn't reached the reserve. The reserve is much less than I am asking for the truck. The truck is sold as is condition, as stated. I require a $1000 deposit via Paypal once the truck is sold, remainder can be paid via Paypal or cash in person upon pickup. The truck needs to be picked up within three weeks upon the end of auction. If the truck is paid in full I can store the truck for longer if you are working out details for transportation. I will not be in the middle of working out transport, that is your responsibility. I will not take any bank transfers, checks, checks for more than the sale amount etc. For more pictures or specific information about the truck please message me. I have a clean and clear title in hand. |

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride
Thu, Aug 14 2014The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
