This is what we call the good, the bad & the ugly! It's a 2000 Chevy van loaded w/ith four leather captain seats w/ lumbar, power everything, 80% tread on tires. It's in good mechanical shape w/ a newly rebuilt engine with less than 20,000 miles. It blew a piston at 92,000 miles and had to be rebuilt from the bottom up. The exterior is good although it has some issues. Originally purchased as a full top of the line conversion van by Explorer. It had all the low flaring trim all around it but was removed as it was just plastic & wears out after so many years.  You will see all the rivet holes around the lower body frame although they are very small. The rear bumper has been backed into & it shows. However, I have had this looked at & the brackets are not bent so it can be unbolted & another one bolted on for under $300.00. There are some minor scratches, dings associated w/ it's age but nothing outside of normal.
     The interior is clean but front drivers seat shows the most wear on the leather. The wood trim in the back has faded from, I believe, heat as it has spent most of it's life in Florida.  Overall it's in very good condition w/ a rear sofa that automatically folds down to a flat bed. All window treatments are in perfect shape. That's a basic description & the pictures will show most of that.
    
I'll tell you what the van is & isn't in my honest opinion.  This is good solid transportation for a church group, volunteer organization  such as meals on wheels or a large family with several children.  It can accommodate six passengers at once w/ a driver. I have driven it up north on several trips & would have no concerns. It needs some TLC but mostly cosmetic. It's a nice ride for long trips & has the ability to let you stretch out in back if so desired.  What it's not anymore is a state of the art, top of the line, luxury cruiserIt is 12 yrs old & shows some but still has a lot of life left especially mechanically if someone wishes to give it that little attention it needs.
     With that said, this is going NO RESERVE to whoever bids the highest. N.A.D.A book value is around $4,000 without the conversion!! You are welcome to come take a look w/ a scheduled appt. Please contact through email to set that up. I do have it for sale locally so I am reserving the right to pull the ad if it sells during this auction I would love to see someone get this inexpensively & do some good for their community.  Happy bidding & good luck to all!!

eBay Find of the Day: Mario Andretti's personal 2009 Corvette ZR1

Wed, Jan 7 2015

With victory in the the Indianapolis 500, a Formula 1 World Championship, a win in the Daytona 500 and too many other motorsports accomplishments to list, Mario Andretti stands among not just the greatest American racing drivers of all time, but the greatest drivers, full stop. Apparently, the champ is also a fan of speed when not on the track, because now there's a chance to own what is said tobe his personal 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 12,872 miles on the clock. The eBay Motors auction page clearly shows Mario Andretti standing with the car, but the rest of the ad is admittedly short on details. The vehicle history report lists only one previous owner – ostensibly Andretti. The exterior is a handsome Blade Silver Metallic accompanied by a Dark Titanium leather interior. However, the seller keeps additional information to a minimum as well with the description simply stating, "This 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is owned by Mario Andretti and has been garage kept all its life. It is fully loaded with all option on this car." The future buyer will get a seriously great car along with some huge bragging rights at any party by touting its ownership history. We've reached out to the seller for more particulars and provenance, and will update this story if we hear back. In the meantime, the auction for this C6 ends on Thursday, January 8, and currently the reserve isn't met. The price sits at a hefty $68,100 as of this writing, with six bids registered.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
