I am selling this for a friend. His name is Wayne, and his number is (708) 557-2300. Please do not email me with any questions. Give Wayne a call. This 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super Custom Camper Special is a true survivor, oiriginally from Idaho. It is truly a top-quality, highly original driver that has been very well taken care of, and is up to any task.

The certified actual mileage is just 87,800. Vehicle is driven during the week, so a few mils will be added. Certification of mileage will be provided upon sale. Look at the list of items this truck came with from the factory:

*402 Big Block, Original motor, all original specs.                                                                                   

*Power Disc Brakes, rotors and pads show very little wear                                                                    

*Power Steering

*Factory Air Conditioning, recently serviced, very cold

*Automatic Trans. Turbo 400

*Factory Dual Exhaust

*Chrome and Stainless Trim options

*Factory tilt steering wheel, a very rare option

In addition, the following has recently been completed:

*New Tires, Hoses, Belts, etc *Beautiful, aftermarket 16" wheels. Tailpipes replaced with original equipment equivalent. Complete tune-up, plus new filters.

You do not need to do anything to this truck but drive it, and keep it clean.

This is a Fantastic Cruze 'N Use Classic.  You can show it very well in local shows, and be very proud as the owner.

This truck was re-painted at some point in the original factory color scheme, Lemon-Lime with white. It was a high-quality paint job, and the color really pops, much better than the pics show. It is showing just a few very small spots of buff-through on a couple of the sharp edges. The pictures taken could not make it show up, but if you are very close to the truck, and looking for it, you can see it. This is not something anyone would see unless they are really examining the paint. 

With the exception of the seats, the interior is in fully original condition. Door panels, headliner, dash, steering wheel are all original. The seats have been recovered in a top-quality material similar, though not identical, to the original factory seats. Cushions/bolsters were replaced at that time, so the seats have provide a lot of support, very comfortable.

There is no rust perforation anywhere on this vehicle. All lights and gauges function as they should. THIS TRUCK DRIVES LIKE A DREAM! Straight down the road with no shimmy or wandering, no vibration anywhere, at any speed. Stops quickly in a straight line, thanks to the rare Factory Power Disc Brakes. It handles very well, corners like a modern truck. With the factory 402 big block, you have plenty of torque to get you moving quickly. The engine does not overheat, or burn oil. The transmission shifts smoothly, with no unusual noises. The bed has no dents, and is covered in a nice Silver-Gray spray-on liner that is a couple years old, and in good shape. Look closely at the pics to see the perfect sheet metal throughout the body of this truck.

The truck, and it's owner, Wayne, reside in Illinois. He has owned it over a year, and, and has driven it regularly during that time. He is a knowledgeable and detail-oriented auto enthusiast. He put much more time and money into it than he will ever get out. He is only selling it because his plans have changed, and he needs the money to complete other restorations. This truck was not bought with the idea of being a "flip". It was bought to fix up as a fine classic vehicle, which it now is. Wayne can be reached at (708) 557-2300. Be sure to have a list of questions ready, as he will answer anything you ask about the truck. Please do not call after 9:00 p.m., Central Time.

The winning bidder is required to pay $500, via paypal, or overnight certified funds, within 72 hours of close of auction. The balance must be paid within 7 days, via Certified funds, which are subject to "hold" until fully cleared, or via wire transfer.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
