1975 Chevy G-10 Shorty van. I picked up this van thinking I would turn it into a vintage/retro style carpet cleaning van. The 6 cylinder engine runs good, it was originally a 3 speed manual looking at the build sheet, now it has a TH-350 automatic. The first night I drove this home I was headed down the highway and the speedo only was reading at 45 mph, I asked my girlfriend why she was so far behind me, and she said when you hit 90 I figured you could get the ticket.....so the speedo isn't accurate at all, probably tall gears in the rearend for the manual trans and that's why it's so far off.
It leaks a little oil, probably burns a little too, I just got a brand new battery, changed the oil, put a new waterpump and radiator in it last week along with a new belt. It doesn't have power anything, manual brakes, manual steering, no A/C. I've never calculated it, but it probably does pretty good on gas. The wheels and tires are custom 17x8.5 with Toyo 255/60R17 tires, they are all the same so you can rotate them front to back. the tires have about 65% or so left and are in great shape with even wear.
The paint is original, and obviously gone on the roof. My plan was to wetsand it all out and just clear the whole thing, it would look ratty, vintage, ugly to some, but I thought it would be cool. The inside is completely gutted, the floor in the very center has surface rust, some genius put foam between a wood floor and the metal, not a big deal and it isn't rusted through. It was pretty much a hippie van when I got it, had a place for a bed and was all wrapped in a nasty blue plush velour crap..... I hauled it to the dump, you can thank me later. ick!
So, you basically a getting a nice solid, original chevy van to build or use as you desire. I don't see any reason why you couldn't fly out and drive it home. In the back you get a chevy bench seat to mount or toss, the stock wheels, and some aluminum running boards. the only thing that really needs fixed is the roof vent that was added in the back, it needs a new cover, but I'd rather see someone take it out and weld it up the way it came.
It's going to sell to the highest bidder. I just put over $200 into battery, radiator, waterpump, it has a $1500 set of wheels and tires on it, I'm setting the opening bid less than the wheels alone...... It has about a half tank of gas in it too.
Any questions, call me

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
