1997 Chevy G1500 Express Mark III (3) LE Conversion Van (seven passenger). I had just purchased the van a few months ago, but two days after purchasing, I was layed off from my job . I must now unfortunatly sell it for financial reasons. It is in very nice condition! 171,968 well cared for miles w/maintenance receipts from the last three years. The van has always started instantly, idles smoothly, shifts and runs perfectly - NO ISSUES. 5.7 V-8 with four speed automatic transmission (w/overdrive). Very smooth and plush handling; quiet and comfortable. This is a beautiful Mark III LE conversion with lots of wood work and cool upper side + top center ceiling lighting accents in wood trim. Cruise control, electric widows & locks. Lighted vanity mirrors in both visors. Foot well entry lights.The van has never been smoked in. The seats are in excellent condition with no stains or tears. The pictures do not show them, but front and rear floor mats are included. The van has just had the seats and carpeting professionally cleaned. It does have the typical scratches and a couple very mild dents here on the body that you would expect it to have after time, but still looks very nice inside and out. The "pop-top" has areas where the clear coat has flaked off, but many I have seen from about 2005 and older year models have the same issue. There is two small dents in the rear bumper and one small one in the front bumper. You can also see a couple mild dents in the rear left door at the far left lower area. The van has never had a hitch on it (never towed anything). The rear seat has an electric switch which allows it to lay flat for a bed (up/down switch). ICE COLD front and rear A/C with three speed blower fan on the rear unit. Also rear heat (w/three speed blower). New tires, air filter and oil / filter change. Anti-freeze flush/replacement. Plugs and plug wires were replaced last year. Also new front end parts including idler arms and ball joints. Nearly every serviceable item plus an upgrade to current high-output air conditioning components has been performed in the last couple years by the previous owner. Everything works except the power antenna - I had a bird fly up into it breaking the upper half off. Factory owners manual is in the center storage console. Included is a front license plate mounting bracket/frame. Two sets of keys/remotes included. It is ready to hit either coast or anywhere you choose. The van is also advertised locally, so the auction may be shut down early if sold outside eBay. If you live far away, fly into XNA (NW Arkansas/Fayetteville); I'll pick you up and you can drive it home! Thanks for looking!

I missed a few features the van has: TV/DVD/CD/AM/FM Cassette/VHS. The previous owner had added the Blaupunkt DVD/CD player with wired-in remote. Also the drivers seat is electrically adjustable as are both outside rear-view mirrors.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
