Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States

Offering for sale our PA titled 1997 Chevrolet High Top Conversion Van by Explorer. Kindly note that this van is titled in Pennsylvania, but is physically located and will need picked up in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  Port St. Lucie is about 40 minutes north of West Palm Beach airport.  Fly in and drive home!  We'll pick you up at the airport, drive you to the notary to sign off on the title and send you on your way! The van is also loaded with a full tank of gasoline to get you on your way home - our compliments to you!

This van has a few cosmetic issues on the front and rear bumpers as seen in the pictures. The top too, is a tad faded. We bought it with these imperfections because in our minds it doesn't impact the value of this van. We just purchased this van in late March 2014 for the purpose of loading it up with personal items and driving it to and from our Florida home on a few occasions.

When we purchased it in March 2014, we had it go through a PA inspection and had the following work performed: four new Goodyear Wrangler tires installed, a new Interstate battery, and we decided to go ahead and have the shop replace the fuel pump as well. It would start, but sometimes you'd have to turn the key to ignite it quickly or pump the pedal to get the gas flowing. Apparently this was a common issue with this model and year of Chevy van, so knowing that we didn't want to get stuck on our initial drive from PA to FL, we had the fuel pump and assembly replaced. It starts right up with no issues. Family members who come to visit have used the van in the interim on their "vacations" and just love it!

The interior is in great shape! No carpet stains, no smoke smell (we are non smokers), the leather is beautiful and looks in new condition. No wear marks to note. The headliner and wood trim are in great shape too. Also, there's a power inverter that we had put in this van. It draws from the main battery, and it's great for the addition of a DVD player or any other electronic you'd want to run in the van. Also, 3 "cigarette" style plug in's are near the inverter in addition to the one up front. It's great for charging multiple cell phones.

The van comes equipped with manual fabric blinds for extra privacy all around.  A television, VHS Player, DVD Player and pre-wired SNES hookups (add your own system) keep the little (and big) ones entertained.  All surround interior "mood" lights work perfectly.  Power windows, doors, locks and rear bed. 

You'll notice on the exterior that the typical wide style pin striping for this year has been removed. We used the 3m eraser wheel to take them off as we didn't like the outdated look. Some impressions still remain where the clear coat was applied. Refer to pictures as they do serve as part of the item description.  The smaller pin stripes still remain tastefully around the windows, etc.

Overall, this van is in very good condition other than the minor exterior bumps and bruises. We'd drive it anywhere, but a lifestyle change for us necessitates the sale of this van at this time.

This is an AS-IS transaction.  It is up to you, the buyer, to inspect this vehicle PRIOR to purchase.  Once you bid, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase this car.

Cash / cashier's check purchase only!

NOTE: Payment and vehicle pick-up are required within 3 days of auction end.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.
