1978 Chev Shorty 4x4 Van on 2040-cars
Clinton, Iowa, United States
|
For Sale is this 1978 Chevy Shorty Van with 4x4 conversion. I believe it is a Quigley conversion. It is really cool but I just don't have the time to do what I'd like to do to it. It has Beauville trim, nice dash, and Factory Air! Tilt wheel and Power Steering. Engine is a 305 V8, I believe the original. It runs strong, doesn't smoke, but there is a ticking lifter. It recently completed an 800 mile trip. Has headers and dual exhaust, kind of loud for my taste.It has newer carb, fuel pump, raadiator service, battery, and alternator. The front end was recently aligned and it drives pretty straight. Brakes work as they should. Has new 31x10.50 BFG's on aluminum rims. I have yard tested the 4x4 and it worked fine. The body looks awesome from 10' away. It is overall fairly straight, but has had some rust repair. There are spots on fender wells where it is bubbling. The worst thing is the previous owner lowered the drivers floor area to install different seats. Easy fix with a donor van but ti is what it is. This is a pretty awesome machine that just needs someone to finish it up. Drive as is or restore into a high dollar van! The van is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. Buyer responsible for all shipping costs, seller will help out with loading, etc. Winning bidder must depossit $500 via paypal within 24 hours of auction end, with balance either wire transfer or cash within 7 days. Please ask questions before bidding, especially "Honey, can I buy another toy!" Thanks for looking.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
