I bought this van from the original family because it was in such nice condition. The father had given it to his adult son and his family and I bought it from him. It is an Arizona rust free vehicle since new. I planned to drive it for years and put thousands into it to make it last. I have a large stack of receipts (included with the van) showing all that was done which includes head gaskets, wheel bearings, major A/C upgrades (blows 34 degrees at the vent) trans service, U joints etc. I then had an accident with it and my friend with a restoration shop bought it because it was such a nice clean and good running vehicle and had his 72 year old highly experienced and fussy craftsman restore it. When they took it to the state of AZ to be inspected the inspectors did not want to know where the damage had been. After inspecting the van, they could not tell what area of the vehicle had been damaged. The van needed a hood, right fender and grill/bumper. The air bags did not go off. The vehicle has been meticulously restored and the replacement parts professionally painted. The paint is shiny and matches perfectly. I borrowed it back after it was finished and it drives perfectly. I have had several of these and this one drives as well as any, even as well as the low mileage ones I have had. It has just had an alignment. It has decent tires although I would replace them in maybe 20,000 miles. Note that the van has custom tail lights. It was always a non smoker and the interior is clean. It has an after market stereo with a CD player. It has the optional factory chrome wheels which set it off nicely. It has privacy glass and dual A/C. It resembles a newer Astro and does not look outdated at all. Note the very minor wear spots on the driver's seat back. A vinyl repair guy can repair this very reasonably. The driver's seat bottom was reupholstered in the correct cloth. Note the underside shot, this clean Arizona van has NO rust. Call the owner of the restoration shop (and the van) at 928 ate 53 42 ate 5 for more details. His name is Bruce. This is a dependable and straight van. The last seat is missing, I used this vehicle for work and did not need it. Pay the "Buy it Now" price and we will get one from the local salvage yard and include it. Otherwise, they are readily available for $100.00 or less in most any salvage yard. Bid with confidence, this vehicle will serve you well. It is 70 during the day here in Phoenix, why not fly in and stay a few days and then drive it home?

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?
Sat, Mar 7 2015General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
