Up for auction is my VERY NICE 1978 CHEVROLET G20 3/4 TON VAN WITH SLIDING SIDE DOOR. This van is OWNED, BUILT AND MAINTAINED BY A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. The motor is was pulled from a great running 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton truck and the Turbo Hydro Automatic Transmission was pulled from the same truck. The motor and transmission was gone through, cleaned up and installed in the van and it starts right up, runs, shifts and drives great. The front end and brakes are new and have no problems, I would trust this van to drive anywhere so do not hesitate to fly in from anywhere and drive this van home and make an adventure out of it. The ceiling, walls and floor of the van are fully lined and covered , the ceiling and walls with a nice tweed material and the floors have nice carpet. The van was well insulated to cut down oh the amount of road noise, heat and cold entering the van and to deaden the sound of the REALLY NICE (SIMPLE) BUT NICE STEREO SYSTEM. The stereo has a nice Pioneer am/fm/cd player head unit, a pair of co-axil speakers and pair of Bose speakers in the back , a nice conservative amp and a 8" self powered sub woofer. The stereo sounds really good but it's not overkill, just a nice little system, I have never installed an antenna so I always plug my iPod up to it and go. The seats are new, the front captain chairs are very comfortable and they recline nicely. The rear seat folds down into a bed for those long trips. I built a rear deck that I use for storage but it is carpeted nicely and could be used as a second bed. There is ample storage under the rear deck for the spare tire, groceries, tools, luggage or whatever you need it for. There is also a house battery under the deck to run any accessories you might need. The van is also wired for trailer lights and pulls a trailer very well. The air conditioner works great but needs to be charged and I will have it charged before you pick the van up if you use the "Buy It Now" option. The BF Goodrich tires are in great condition with no unusual wear and are at least 75%. The even wear is a great indicator that the front end on this van is very tight and does not wander, goes straight under braking, and no play in the steering wheel. The van also has tilt steering and cruise control. The windows are tinted and all the locks match. The dash is very clean with no cracks. The only thing I can say bad about this van is that it does have some rust spots in but nothing structural or the would effect the integrity of the van. The rust is very easy to repair if you so wish. The van comes with a rare custom chrome tube grill and a spare tire. Please excuse the pictures, there was some trash form the day between the seats up front and I had the wheels and tires to my Camaro in the back. The reason I am selling this van is three fold, I wanted to use it for a shop van but it is too nice, I already have a Ford 1 ton diesel van that will fit that bill and I do not need two vans. Just as a side note I also have a running/driving long wheel base 1976 Chevrolet G20 van with clear title and a 1981 GMC G20 short wheel base factory custom van that runs/drives and with clear title that I will make in to a package deal if you wish. You will be VERY pleased with this van , it is way above average mechanical condition and will provide someone with very reliable transportation. Please check out my feedback, bid with confidence and and bid to win the VERY NICE 1978 CHEVROLET VAN, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT. I really hope someone buys it that will give it the loving care it deserves and not strip it out and use it to haul around dirty tools or something. This is a happy little van that looks clean, smells clean and wants to be your best friend or a member of your family. Do not let this one pass you by, this is the one you have been looking for. Please note that I do not know the exact mileage on this van but looking at the wear on the brake pedal I would say it's around 100,000 miles so that is what I put down to satisfy eBay requirements. Mileage is exempt .Thank you for looking at my auctions and be sure to check out my other actions. ***********I AM HAVING TO RE-LIST THE VAN DUE TO A NON PAYING BUYER. THE BUYER WAS MEADSPORTS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE SCARED TO COMPLETE THE DEAL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A OUTSTANDING FEEDBACK RECORD

THESE BUYERS ARE LIARS AND DEADBEATS, DO NOT SELL TO THEM. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO RE-LIST BECAUSE THE BUYER IS TOO CHEAP AND CHICKEN TO PAY MY SELLERS FEE. NON PAYING BUYERS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THIEVES***** My requirements are that I get a deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction and full payment within 7 days of the end of the auction, immediate payment for the "buy it now" option. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY AUCTIONS. ****THE NON PAYING BUYER WAS MEADESPORTS, BEWARE OF THEM AND DO NOT SELL TO THEM********

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
