Portland, Oregon, United States

If you would like to see additional pictures or look at the van in person, please contact me by phone at 541-740-4262.

Multi-purpose van can be used for road trips with the sleeping platform or up to 5 passengers with space for additional gear.

I have built an L-shaped sleeping platform with space for gear underneath - it is great for going on extended road trips.

Since I put in the sleeping platform right when I purchased this van, the bench seat was removed and has been stored in a dry and clean location so it is still in like new condition.

If you are not interested in the sleeping platform, I can easily remove it and put the bench seat back in.

Mostly highway miles as I used it for traveling long distances. It has always been very reliable, but I live in the city now and don't need such a large vehicle any more.

ALL repair records and routine maintenance paperwork through first and second owner available.

I have added window tinting for privacy and there are rain guards so you can have the windows open slightly when it's raining and not have water come in.

Hitch with electrical hookup option for pulling a trailer.

Rear tires are 1 year old with not many miles and are still under warranty.

Tire chains included if you want them, but this van does GREAT in snow.

Original Owner's Manual included.

Additional Information:

This is the perfect adventure camper van!

I have used this van to camp out of and built a solid platform which provides space for sleeping while also having lots of space for gear. I am willing to sell it with the custom platform or without it. It has tinted windows and is white in color which results in it staying cool even in warm temperatures. I put window rain protectors over the front two windows so they can be left open in a downpour and still keep the front seats dry.

* I also have the original van bench seat (not pictured but will be included) which has hardly been used due to having the platform in it. It can be installed or taken out in seconds which makes this van very versatile.

This van handles amazingly in all weather conditions as it is all wheel drive (same as four wheel drive) and will come with chains (even though I have rarely needed chains because it does so well in snow). There is a factory rack to which you can mount a Yakima rack or similar rack system (Thule, etc.).

I bought this van in 2005 from Randy Jones Chevrolet in Corvallis OR with 94,128 miles. It had one previous owner before me who did all their routine service at the same place and at the recommended intervals (all of those records can be printed out and reflect all routine maintenance that occurred).

I have also kept up with routine maintenance at the recommended intervals. I have a file with everything I have done to the van over the last 8 years. Since I bought it, (excluding normal maintenance) I have only had to replace the power steering pump 3 years ago and 6 months ago I had a new U Joint and shocks on the front.

Currently the van has 219,000 miles on it. Most of those miles I put on it are highway miles since I drove many times between Oregon and Wisconsin along with traveling to explore various areas of the US (hence the perfect camper van). Not to mention I bike commuted to work and to run errands more often than driving the van short distances. I put new tires on the back 1 year ago. I also put a new AM/FM/CD radio in it. I know of several people with the same van that have gotten well over 300,000 miles on theirs.

I have since moved to the city and don't travel / camp nearly as much as I used to, so I got a smaller car to match my new lifestyle. I hope this van can go to a good home of someone who can enjoy it and get the most out of its awesome features! It truly is the ultimate road trip / camper van!

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
