1978 Chev Shorty 4x4 Van on 2040-cars
Clinton, Iowa, United States
|
For Sale is this 1978 Chevy Shorty Van with 4x4 conversion. I believe it is a Quigley conversion. It is really cool but I just don't have the time to do what I'd like to do to it. It has Beauville trim, nice dash, and Factory Air! Tilt wheel and Power Steering. Engine is a 305 V8, I believe the original. It runs strong, doesn't smoke, but there is a ticking lifter. It recently completed an 800 mile trip. Has headers and dual exhaust, kind of loud for my taste.It has newer carb, fuel pump, raadiator service, battery, and alternator. The front end was recently aligned and it drives pretty straight. Brakes work as they should. Has new 31x10.50 BFG's on aluminum rims. I have yard tested the 4x4 and it worked fine. The body looks awesome from 10' away. It is overall fairly straight, but has had some rust repair. There are spots on fender wells where it is bubbling. The worst thing is the previous owner lowered the drivers floor area to install different seats. Easy fix with a donor van but ti is what it is. This is a pretty awesome machine that just needs someone to finish it up. Drive as is or restore into a high dollar van! The van is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. Buyer responsible for all shipping costs, seller will help out with loading, etc. Winning bidder must depossit $500 via paypal within 24 hours of auction end, with balance either wire transfer or cash within 7 days. Please ask questions before bidding, especially "Honey, can I buy another toy!" Thanks for looking.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
