I am the second owner of this unmolested 99' Chevrolet 3500 Express van. I purchased it last year from the original owner in Wa., who ordered it from his local GM dealer and sent her from Washington state to Pa. to have Quigley do to this Super Trak 1 ton conversion,this came with the Dana 60 front axle(lockout hubs)..,soft ride springs etc.The gentelman i purchased from said he had it built to take his grandchildren snowboading and never had to used the 4wd ,that it was more of a insurance than anything else.The frame and underside is as clean as the exterior,as Wa. uses sand/cinder mix NO SALT. I had teflon rims,Maxxis 35x12.50 radials installed ,all on stock Quigley suspension w/ 3" body lift..the van is probably 8/9" over a standard 3500 series van. As i wanted more of a rolling/ badass// rolling billboard, work van, i left all carpet,wall cover, and headliner in tact and built as pictures show; a wood (capsule)..with nothing touching perimeter but plywood on bottom, as to be removed as reqd. in the future. So van can be either a awesome play /family van to go ANYWHERE or super lookin' attention getting work truck,after having local artist design vinyl logo/grafix..honestley, i could not bring myself to actually violate the van and to date all artwork is paid for but will have to go to waste! This van needs nothing, brakes were all gone thru prior to my purchase as was flowmaster muffler,K/N intake filter,optima battery. I did have chrome front diff. cover, billet grille,remote start,also a very handy reverse activated backup camera system installed.Interior is just about as mint as you will see and loaded with most factory options incl. ; pwr. mirrors,cruise, tilt,a/c pwr. seats,pwr.locks,pwr. windows...all work as new, and both myself and original owner are no smokers!.Van drives great ,with no leaks..engine is the 454 cu. and gets around 12/14 mpg.The roof racks have only been used once and are weatherguard pro brand they can go with van -- or racks and work area build out, will be removed as desired by new owner prior to delivery.These are not cheap, especially in this unmolested condition,so bid with the utmost confidence as this one is a sweetheart and truly a pleasure to drive. As my business changed unwanted direction..as did my use of such a great vehicle,all things considered....i hope the new owner appreciates and takes care of her as deserved!! GOOD LUCK. -- Do have walk around video, and any additional pics upon request.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
