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.  


On Feb-27-14 at 07:35:07 PST, seller added the following information:

 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.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 concept suggests a diesel off-road future

Thu, Nov 20 2014

"It takes the Colorado to a whole new place." – Mark Reuss The Chevrolet Colorado looks set to gain a more capable off-road version, with the company previewing a potential design direction with a ruggedized concept Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Called the Colorado ZR2, the concept brings back the name used on off-road-tuned S-10 and Blazer models in the 1990s and 2000s. The ZR2 has a track that's four inches wider than the Colorado Z71, which is currently the line's most capable off-roader. The ZR2 is fitted with a new grille, power-dome hood, custom wheel flares and off-road-style fascia that reduces overhang and has flip-out aluminum tow hooks. It's all slathered in an outdoorsy hue dubbed Cyprus Green. The are electronic locking front and rear differentials, skid plates and mono-tube coilover shock absorbers. It all rolls (or crawls) on 275/65R18 off-road tires wrapped around custom 18-inch aluminum wheels. There's also a spare tire assembly mounted in the bed, which has a spray-in liner and 48-inch lift jack should things go afoul on the trail. "It takes the Colorado to a whole new place," Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of global product development, said at the reveal. Power comes from the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel engine making 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. This engine will arrive later in the year in the production Colorado. While the ZR2 remains only a concept, it suggests a new path for the Colorado – one we hope Chevy decides to take. Chevrolet Introduces Colorado ZR2 Concept Aggressively styled, more capable and driven by new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine LOS ANGELES – Chevrolet today introduced the Colorado ZR2 concept – a vision of how Chevrolet could take the all-new midsize truck's off-road capability to the next level. It also showcases the new 2.8L Duramax diesel engine that will arrive in the Colorado lineup later next year. The aggressively styled concept builds on the capabilities of the production Colorado Z71 and advances the legacy of Chevrolet's previous ZR2 production models. "From the bold stance to the trail-ready special equipment, the Colorado ZR2 is all about the fun of driving where the pavement ends – and doing it in characteristic Chevy style," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.
