This rare "Vanbulance" is a classic type III Chevrolet chassis and cab, dually rear wheels, with a "Modular Ambulance Corporation" insulated fiberglass/metal unit on the back. The company was in business for about four years back in the late 70's from what I can tell. I have yet to see another one like it!
It has the ORIGINAL (gasoline) 5.7 liter V-8 350 automatic Chevrolet engine with 98,128 miles. The ambulance starts, drives, and shifts smooth and strong. It has two batteries, power-steering and brakes, A/C (needs leak repaired and re-charged), clean California registration and title--registered/smogged thru June 2014.
This beauty has been well maintained as it was originally from the small mountain lake town of Spirit Lake, Idaho. The last owner was The American Red Cross, hence the newer red/white paint.
I've driven it for the past 3.5 years for work and have kept it well maintained. Upgrades include: newer tires (all 6), new throaty glass-pack muffler, new alternator, new 4-barrel carburetor, new fuel-pump, recent tune-up and spark plug cables replaced...All lights (except fog) function and flash, including side and rear "scene" lights. You can light up the neighborhood with these. All back cab windows professionally limo-tinted for privacy. Tons of storage inside, cabinets are all intact with see-thru acrylic sliding doors. Three illuminated locking outside compartments come in handy, one of them contains the spare tire and jack.
Excellent use for a tool truck, surfer's van, hunting/camping, motorcycle transportation...use your imagination! Every day I get compliments on this rig.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
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.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
