      For sale is a LOADED 2004 Chevrolet Express Explorer Conversion Van.  It was used to travel, so most of its 164K miles were highway.  This van has every conceivable option offered in 2004, including 17" Flip-down TV, DVD Player, Cassette/CD/Radio, additional CD player (Sony) with 11-disc magazine changer, 2 heated and cooled drink holders, heated front seats, leather upholstery (all seats), fold down rear sofa, 110VAC electrical outlet, 2 wireless headphones (so the driver does not have to suffer through kids-movies being played), front and rear heat and air-conditioning, power locks, power windows, 6-way power seats (front), power heated side mirrors, cruise, all sorts of interior lighting, storage places, and window shades everywhere.  Drive train is a 5.3L V8, 4-speed automatic, posi-traction rear axle, and fairly new tires.  Has a Category 3 hitch with a 7-pin round wiring connector.  Has electric brake controller installed. There's a lot of good miles left in this cruiser.

    I am the second owner of this van, and purchased it in 2007 with 16,000 miles on it.  It has had regular maintenance (3000-mile oil changes) and repairs as needed.  The water pump was recently replaced and most of the front suspension rebuilt, re-shocked, re-bushed, with new tie-rod ends and spindles installed. Has excellent tires, new belts, and a brand new $200 NAPA battery installed.  It starts, runs, drives, shifts as new...NO funny noises, smells, leaks, or smoke.  Speaking of smoke, this van has NEVER been smoked in.

     Here's the negatives...The running board rubber mats need replaced (see pictures), the front bumper has a golf-ball sized dent in it, and a few little nicks here and there as expected on a 10-year old vehicle.  The driver-side side doors hinges need freeing-up.  These doors rarely got used, so the hinges froze up...need hinges removed and cleaned to fix.  The original 12" TV was removed from the upper rear panel.  A 17" screen replaced it, but the original hole in the panel is there.  As long as the TV screen in flipped down, it covers the hole.  Not a big deal, I'm but trying to accurately describe the defects. 

     I am starting this auction at a price WAY BELOW any book value...retail, wholesale, loan because I need to sell quickly.  We traded our pop-up camper (that this van used to haul) in for a travel trailer that requires a much bigger pickup to pull...so I am what is called a "motivated seller".

 

     You are invited to ask all the questions you need, and to personally view and drive the vehicle.  Successful bidder will be required to PAYPAL down payment of $200 immediately.  Cash or bank check upon pickup, title sent when check clears.

GM's Ultium EV platform finally shows up in Q3 sales numbers

Wed, Oct 4 2023

General Motors has heralded its Ultium battery-electric platform as the future of its passenger car and truck lineup, but for the first two years of its existence, its impact on the marketplace has been virtually nonexistent. Well, that finally changed in the third quarter of 2023, and while the cars based on this architecture don't represent anywhere near the volume of GM's broader combustion portfolio, we're reaching a point where Ultium products are finally in view (and in the hands) of real-world shoppers. At this point, five U.S.-market Ultium models are in production: the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer & Silverado EV, and BrightDrop Zevo 600. If you're not familiar with that last one, that's OK; it's a commercial product that you likely won't see on the road for some time. Together, these four combined for 4,257 sales in the third quarter alone — up from 2,663 for the entire first half of the year. While that may not seem like a significant uptick when viewed from altitude, the quarter-to-quarter numbers paint a clearer picture.  Let's toss out the stragglers first. The Chevy Blazer EV, and Silverado EV for example, are barely in production. GM delivered 19 Blazers and 18 Silverados in the third quarter and that's the entirety of their production runs so far. Likewise, GM's BrightDrop Zevo 600 delivery van effectively exists apart from the consumer marketplace, so its contribution of just 35 units can be set aside too. That leaves us the two you've heard of: the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq — models with high sticker prices and long reservation queues.  Through the second quarter (remember, we're talking six months here), GMC sold 49 Hummer EVs. No typo. In the three months that made up the third quarter, GM moved 1,167 of them. Not only is that a dramatic improvement over the first half, but it's more Hummers than GMC sold in the entirety of 2022 (854). Lyriq's improvement was less eye-popping on paper, but after moving just 122 total units in 2022 and 2,013 of them in the first half of 2023, Cadillac managed to up that figure to 3,018 units in the third quarter alone.  GM is betting its short-term EV future on the Ultium platform, so these trends need to continue if that's going to be a profitable wager.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.
