2002 Chevy Avalanche
flat/satin black exterior gray cloth interior Z71 - 4x4 (also has auto 4x4 option) towing package This was my everyday driver, I have a company car now and need to sell the truck to help pay for private tuition. This is a 4 door truck/Avalanche and has been really nice for me. I love having the bed and the 4 doors. I had a local shop paint the truck flat/satin black. My son wanted to go for the zombie apocalypse look and it really worked out nice. I had all side windows tinted 5% limo to match the truck. The rear removable window is factory tinted and I didn't change it. The rear factory window comes out and has an inside storage area for the window. You can also fold down the rear seats and have a longer bed that is open to the back. I believe this was a one year only option on the Avalanche and 2002 was the one with this very desired option. I put in new front headlights, running lights, rear taillights when the truck was painted. I also put on two new outside side mirrors. The ones I purchased are heated mirrors but the truck doesn't have this option. The mirrors have the heated symbol but they don't work. The mirrors from the inside controls go down and out, but not up and in - I believe this is because I bought the wrong mirrors. This is not a big issue to me, but I wanted to be up front. The outside mirrors have the puddle lights. The interior seats have no rips and are in perfect like new condition. There is a little foam wear on the drivers side bolster from getting in/out but the factory seat cover isn't ripped and it isn't horrible. The carpet is starting to show its age, but it isn't horribly stained or ripped. I was going to install black carpet if I kept the truck. The headliner is perfect and no stains. The center console is perfect and isn't ripped anywhere. The dash is not cracked and is in perfect condition. The digital dash cluster is out (lights only) but the gauges work. I have a Snap-On diagnostic computer that I can plug in and show the actual mileage. I have been told the cluster can be repaired for $125 and wouldn't mind having it fixed if a deal is made on the truck with the buyer. Even though the cluster is out the mileage still keeps running and its only the visible light part of the cluster that is out, you can search for more details on this issue. There is no check engine light on and I still drive it everyday after work. Two door panels show a small cut/divot in the door panel. I took pictures of the areas. The one on the drivers door is inside the handle area about the size of a dime. The one on the passenger rear panel is about the size of a nickel. The body shop where I had the truck painted said they are small cuts in the vinyl and they can be repaired rather easily. I had the truck painted last year with base coat/clear coat and had a flattener used in the clear coat. This looked great for about six months until my son used a sponge and a shammy with wax residue on it and it turned my lower moldings transparent white where he rubbed on the truck. While this paint procedure produced a much flatter look it wasn't the look I was going for anyway. Last month I had the body shop paint it again but this time I wanted the flat/satin look and used a Dupont Hot Hues Hot Rod Black 2k Urethane paint. This has the same UV protection as the other and has better color retention. This is also a popular paint product that keeps it sheen and color for years. This is not the "paint it primer black and go with it" that turns all white after six months like the old days. If you would like paint pictures of the before and now paint job just let me know. The truck also started out originally painted from factory gloss black and I had them leave the jambs gloss black in the even I ever wanted to go back (but I wouldn't even if I was keeping the truck). The truck runs and drives great and drives smoother and better than my wifes 07 Denali. The tires are worn and need replacing but it still drives excellent and smooth. I was going to change the rims and tires and go black if I kept the truck. If the truck sells at reserve and the new owner wants the factory rims that are pictured on the truck painted flat/satin black like the rest of the truck I will have it done at the shop. The AC blows super cold, I had the high pressure AC line replaced over the summer and had it evac and recharged at that time, holds the charge and doesn't leak anywhere. The heat blows super hot and will run you out of the truck once it warms up to regular engine temperature. The right rear window is slow to go down and up - probably needs a window motor to be fast like the rest of the windows (common GM issue) but it still rolls up and down - just slow. All of the rest of the defrost, rear defrost, interior/exterior rear cargo lights, fog lights, everything else works as it should. There are a few lights out on the radio (some of the buttons do not light up like the rest of them). I can take a picture for you if this is an issue showing you which ones. I think I have detailed everything about the truck, if you have any questions or are near Nashville TN and want to see and test drive it just message me. I do have the truck for sale local and reserve the right to end the auction if it hasn't reached the reserve. The reserve is much less than I am asking for the truck. The truck is sold as is condition, as stated. I require a $1000 deposit via Paypal once the truck is sold, remainder can be paid via Paypal or cash in person upon pickup. The truck needs to be picked up within three weeks upon the end of auction. If the truck is paid in full I can store the truck for longer if you are working out details for transportation. I will not be in the middle of working out transport, that is your responsibility. I will not take any bank transfers, checks, checks for more than the sale amount etc. For more pictures or specific information about the truck please message me. I have a clean and clear title in hand. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
