1994 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck built in June of 1994 at the Shreveport LA plant.  I found a lot of reading on 1997 and 1998 S10 electricars, but not on a 1994, other than Hughes Aircraft was the original designer and it was changed to Electricar. (The Controller on this truck is stamped HUGHES)  I purchased the truck in Norman Oklahoma at an impound auction.  The truck is in fantastic shape and I bought it for body and interior parts.   The batteries were removed before I purchased it, so I have no idea what works and what does not.  The original books are still in the vehicle including the Driver Briefing Card, Driver's Log Book for Product Evaluation Program, Owners Manual and cassette tape,  manual for FM200 Floor Mount Inductive charger, and business cards from eV electrovehicle from Virginia Power in Richmond Virginia.   The placards, or stickers, on the truck are different than the ones normally seen on trucks of this era.  It also has a charging point in an opening on the front grill I have not seen on pictures of others.  The second plugin port is behind what usually would be the gas cap lid. Under the hood is a whole new world for my eyes, but I can tell no components appear to have been taken off.  Any questions about specifics that I wouldn't notice contact me and I will look and take pictures to send.  

The truck has a good clear Oklahoma title.  

You can tell the tires are all original including the spare which obviously has never been on the ground.  The bed has no dents in or dings inside the bed and again obiously was never used as a truck or to transport cargo.  Outside the bed has very light bend where the bed was taken off to get to the batteries.  The cab has several very small hail dents from living in Oklahoma.  Overall the body is exceptional.  The interior is cloth with no tears, the dash board has some cracks on top, but all in all it is also in exceptional condition.  

I believe this is a very rare truck that was used to proceed the building of the 1997 and 1998 models which didn't work out for GM.  I CUT MY RESERVE PRICE IN HALF TO SELL.

Bidders with Zero feedback like the buyer of this truck in the last auction have to contact me before bidding or I will reject the bid.  It cost time and money to Ebay and it is not fair to others when one can bid and not go through with the purchase.  The last auction the zero feedback bidder failed to respond to emails.  I have been on Ebay for over 14 years and this is the first time this has happened to me.  

I googled a government auction in Virginia in March of 2012 last month and found a 1997 S10 in the same condition sold for $7,000.00  My Reserve Price is a fraction of that price and even a lot lower than several bidders bid on my last auction.  I started to put it on Buy It Now, but I do like it being an auction instead.  

Any questions, please ask, my phone number is 405-238-5551. I am located 54 miles south of Oklahoma City and 73 miles north of the Texas state line above Dallas on Interstate 35.       

I reserve the right to cancel the auction on Zero or Low Feedback bidders if they do not contact before the end of the auction.

 I added 3 more pictures with the bed on the truck.  I also found out yesterday the truck was at the University of Oklahoma on a Grant Program in the 90's.  After the Professor retired the University did not know what to do with the vehicle so it sat idle until they finally just wanted it removed to be out of the way.   I also received an email from an Ebayer telling me it is a USELECTRICAR and Yahoo has a website.       


On Feb-27-14 at 07:40:26 PST, seller added the following information:

 The pictures with the hood open, that is dirt and dust from many years of setting idle.  I did not want to wash or clean under the hood since I am not familiar with electrical parts.  It looks rusty, but it is not, that is dirt and dust.

I cut my Reserve by more than half.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020

Wed, Jan 6 2021

BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."
