THIS IS A 1996 CHEVY ASTRO CARGO VAN. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER IN 1996. MECHANICS SPECIAL BECAUSE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE FOR REBUILD. MECHANIC FRIEND REMOVED AND DISASSEMBLED TRANSMISSION THEN FELL ILL. TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY IN A BOX IN THE CARGO AREA OF THE VAN WAITING FOR RE BUILD AND RE INSTALLATION. I WOULD NOT BE SELLING VAN IF FRIEND WAS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE JOB. VAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN RELIABLE AND CURRENTLY RUNS GOOD AND A/C WORKS ALSO. MILEAGE SHOWN IS ACTUALLY MUCH LESS BECAUSE SINCE ABOUT 1997, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS RUN AT TWICE NORMAL SPEED AND SHOWING TWICE ACTUAL SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN IT READS 60 MPH, YOU ARE REALLY GOING 30 MPH. SO IT HAS ADDED 2X MILEAGE ON TO THE ODOMETER. IT WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE TOWED BUT ANYONE WITH TRANSMISSION KNOWLEDGE CAN REPAIR AND RE INSTALL IT. HAS THE USUAL SCRATCHES AND DENTS FOR A VEHICLE ITS AGE BUT ALWAYS BEEN A RELIABLE WORK TRUCK. PICK UP ONLY. CLEAR NJ TITLE.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
