Do You Know How to Replace a Head Gasket? Great Buy if you Do!
This vehicle is for sale from the original owner and is in Kelly Blue Book's "Very Good" condition except for one thing - the engine has a head gasket leak into cylinder 3. This causes pressure buildup in the cooling system and the car heats up quickly. It can run for short distances with minor missing on the one cylinder, but the head gasket really needs to be replaced.
We have recently replaced the serpentine belt and pulley, both intake manifold gaskets and the radiator, so this final problem made us decide to buy a new van and sell our "favorite family car" of ten years.
Now for the good news. There is no rust on this car at all. There are no major dents or body damage - just minor scratches, some of which might even compound out (see detailed pictures with ruler on each). The air conditioner blows strong and cold. All electrical systems work. All computer functions work. The engine compartment is clean. The body and interior have minimal signs of wear. The aluminum wheels are flawless. All but one tire has more than 50% of the tread left. The title is clean and the car will pass safety and smog inspetion. We have ALL of the repair receipts including the original window sticker.
In short, if you can fix a head gasket or replace the engine (average cost of a less-than-100,000 engine is $1,000) you will have a fine looking and fine-running van.
We have removed the plates from the car and there is no longer insurance on it. You may test drive this car for short distances. Local pickup only.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
