 This very rare 1972 C/k Suburban Custom Deluxe with only 91k original miles. Painted in the very desirable White/Ochre/White. It is hands down the cleanest original that I have seen. And if you follow my auctions you know I deal exclusively in Chevrolet trucks and know everything to look for on these vehicles and this one is impeccable! It is completely original except for one repaint that we were told is approximately 6-7 years old that shines up beautifully as you can see in the pics. Being very conservative I would rate the paint as a 8 of 10 due to any minor nicks or scratches from driving.  As you can see the body is laser straight in all it's original sheet metal showing no signs of any body damage ever. All the gaps between the doors, fenders, & hood line up just as they should. The doors open and close tight with absolutely no door sag.(All rubber & felt replace at time of repaint) All the chrome and trim are also in excellent shape.

 The story behind this truck is the gentleman who purchased it new had it all the way until his passing. During the 40 years he owned it another gentleman that attended the same church as him always inquired about buying it from him, but he said he could never part with it. Well it turns out he actually left it to be given to his church friend in his will. Unfortunately, his friend also fell into bad health soon after and went to sell it to a local car dealer which in turn contacted me about it knowing that this was the type of vehicles I deal in. I have enjoyed it for some time, but now I am ready to move on and let someone else enjoy it. I have set a very fair reserve on this so I can make room in the shop and fund some of my other projects, However if it does not reach that number I will keep it in my collection as they are only becoming more and more rare and also more expensive.

 Beyond it's condition what also makes it so unique is all the factory options. As you can see on the trim tag pic it has all the creature comforts of a modern SUV such as 3rd row seating, trailer brake controls, and FRONT & REAR AC!! And of course all the other options you would expect from the top of the line model such as: 400 Big block V8, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Tilt, and the original AM/FM Radio, Factory Blue Tinted Glass, and the full trim package of body molding.

 Powered by a BBC 400 with 91k original miles with a smooth shifting 400 Turbo Hydromatic transmission. As you can see on the trim tag it is equipped with the big block hwy running gear and cruises at highway speeds. The engine starts up immediately and runs smooth. It handles very tight and just in general hits the road well much like a modern vehicle. I have personally drove this truck on 500+ mile road trips with absolutely no issues. Even though it has never sit for any period of time I had an entire tune up that included all the fluids, belts, and brakes gone through.  

 The interior of this truck is absolutely gorgeous! It is all original and in unbelievable shape. No tears or scuffs of any kind. The dash and gauge bezels, steering wheel, glove box, and carpet are excellent. Hard to believe but it looks almost as good as it did back in 72!

 The bottom line is this the cleanest, nicest original survivor C/K Suburban I have ever came across. If your looking for an unmolested Suburban I assure you that you won't be disappointed in this one nor will you probably come across another like this ever again. If you have any questions please call Jeremy 864-940-4576

Note: I reserve the right to end this auction early as I will also be marketing it locally for sale. So if you want this truck please don't wait til the last minute to bid as it may already be gone. I can be reached through ebay or my phone number listed above. The winning bidder must make a non-refundable $500 deposit within 24hrs of the auction end and be able to pay the remaining balance within 7 days of auction end.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.
