Introducing Schizophrenia, an extreme attention getter that has generated excitement at shows all over the East Coast! At first sight, the multi-color paint job and theme are enough to command interest. Within seconds, an incredible seven-stage dancing bed extends 12 feet while spinning before your very eyes! Nearly hypnotized by its dramatic oscillation, you watch as the bed cover splits into 4 sections to reveal a flamethrower that projects 15 foot columns of fire! Add to this scene: balloons, theatrical sparks, a concussion grenade plus colored smoke bombs and you start to picture what an amazing show this real life transformer can give an audience. Over the past 18 years, creative evolution has turned this Chevy S-10 into a mechanical monster on wheels!
My creation is not limited to a particular genre and has been featured in the following environments: car show, parade, monster truck event, air show and art exhibit. Additionally, it has great niche marketing potential. Using my specially designed brackets, banner advertisements can be placed on top of the bed itself and used to draw customers for a featured business. People remember things that are different especially when combined with action! This fact would serve a sponsoring company through product awareness while creating revenue for its owner.

Here are a few specs:
Creator: Jamie Kelley
Theme: Schizophrenia!
Vehicle: 89 Chevorlet S-10
City/State: Asheville, North Carolina
Engine: Chromed out 350 small block
Transmission: Automatic with chrome knuckle shifter
Interior: Materials (tweed, crushed velvet and aluminum diamond plate) / Colors (red,blue,black and silver). A ragtop covers the cab and extends down its back.
Doors: Custom built side mount gullwings, shaved handles with door poppers.
Hydraulic Setup: Completely independent suspension and seven stage spinning /splitting bed! The spin itself has a pneumatically controlled stop. Main parts list: ten modified Hi-LOW pumps, 2 Superwinch motors, Delta dumps, 13 cylinders (various sizes), eight Super-Crank group 31 batteries. 22 solenoids, 23 switches & a ground disconnect. 
Tires: 225/50 R-15 BF Goodrich whitewalls
Rims: 15X8 Roadster wires with gold fluted pans and gold claw spinners (drivers side), 15X8 Alba Inertias (passenger side)
Paint: Base color (Alsa chrome), entire truck was given a marble effect (Royal Blue for the driver's side & Candy Apple Red for the passenger's side)

Stereo: Eclipse cd player, Rockford Fosgate mids and tweets, an epicenter, Sound Dynamic 15's & a Hi-Fonics Genesis amp
Pyrotechnics: A custom built remote control flamethrower (capable of shooting a column of fire 12-15 ft), theatrical gerbs (shoots a jet of sparks 20 ft. X 20 sec. from each corner of the bed), a concussion bomb (extremely loud effect simulates explosion) & smoke bombs (to build crowd anticipation)

In 2007, my creation was appraised by AAG for $90,000 (will send upon request). As of September 2013, the project is for sale at much less than the cost to build it. I would consider some trading, however the trade items must be something that I actually need. Because I built this creation, I understand and would expect to share all relating info to train the buyer. The only reason I am willing to part with it is a need to fund other business related projects.
The truck is in good condition and was designed with maximum structural integrity. Reinforcements are a premium and everything is backed up by failsafe engineering (these include both mechanical and electrical devices). A custom made heavy duty trailer is part of an "acceptable" cash deal. The trailer is open with hydraulic surge brakes, folding ramps, extra tire and hold down points specific to the truck. Plus, multiple extra parts (battery chargers, extra pistons, extra pump head, switches, pyro equipment, etc) will be added. The buyer would be responsible for shipping to their location.

GM and Isuzu to partner for medium-duty commercial truck

Tue, Jun 16 2015

General Motors is returning to the medium-duty truck business in the US for the first time since 2009 thanks to a new deal with longtime-partner Isuzu. The arrangement brings the Isuzu N-series models to Chevrolet dealers with the Bowtie's branding on them in 2016. There are six medium-duty Chevy models arriving at dealers in regular cab and crew cab bodies: the 3500, 3500HD, 4500, 4500HD, 5500, and 5500HD. The trucks will be sold as a bare chassis for buyers to outfit to their needs. Depending on model, customers will have the choice of an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter diesel engines or a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline-fueled engine from GM and six-speed gearbox. According to company spokesperson Bob Wheeler to Autoblog, the diesel models will be built in Japan and the rest assembled from knockdown kits in Charlotte, MI. This kind of vehicle sharing isn't uncommon for GM in the commercial segment, and it already partners with Nissan to use the Japanese brand's NV200 as the City Express van. The General also once owned a significant stake in Isuzu, and the two have remained collaborators even since then. Isuzu and GM Enter Commercial Vehicle Collaboration Agreement in the U.S. 2015-06-15 DETROIT and FUJISAWA, Japan – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Isuzu Motors (TSE 7202) have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio. Isuzu will produce low cab forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016. To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0L V-8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu gasoline-powered low cab forward trucks. Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities throughout the world. This agreement continues that tradition and reinforces a long-term relationship that helps to explore future collaborations in the U.S. commercial vehicle business.

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery

Thu, May 15 2014

As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.

Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China

Fri, Jun 20 2014

Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.
