This is a cool 2008 Tahoe -- it has a clear CA title and brand new CA License plates. It has just passed its smog test and its registration is good until next August. This car started life as a white Tahoe service vehicle in Virginia. It was well kept and has a low mileage count of 84K miles. It was bought a year ago by a production company and taken to Detroit where it was used in a commercial. For filming it was painted and dressed as a Michigan State Police SUV. That's why it is currently the light blue that it is.

I have set the reserve low -- the blue book is 20k for this car

Before I could buy the car, all of the police badges and sirens had to be removed -- it is illegal to drive a fully dressed cop car ... even in Detroit. The search lights remain on the front windshield pillars and seem to be wired but not functional. You will see in the pictures a few shots of it BEFORE I drove it away where it has all of its POLICE badges etc. When all of that was removed we plugged the drill holes from the siren on the roof with rubber stoppers. Also there was a POLICE sign on the hood that we removed and plugged the drill holes. The drill holes are pretty small but evident. The paint is good not fantastic. There are a few spots where you can see drip lines -- on the driver door there are a few drip lines that used to be covered by the POLICE decals.

If you don't know these cars you will need to know that the interior has cloth buckets up front and a leather bench for a second row. There is no console as cop SUVs typically have guns locked to the floor between the seats. For a carpet there is a rubber mat -- presumably so that if you are transporting a bad guy who is bleeding or puking ... you can just hose it out the next morning. I have checked on EBAY and you can buy all kinds of goodies to make this truck just like a soccer mom's -- you can buy a third row bench or a console that fits perfectly between the front buckets. Or just leave it all copped out ...

It has a CD player that works -- the AC works great -- it drives really nice as I drove it 700 miles in a day through UTAH earlier this summer. I am posting the pictures I have right now -- I may post a few additional ones that show the plugged holes. The car is registered and insured so come take a look if you are serious. I have been driving it regularly, it's really a nice ride. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Thanks for reading ...

Reminder the car started life WHITE -- it was painted LIGHT BLUE and NO LONGER has POLICE DECALS AND LIGHTS.

It has a really cool PUSH GUARD on the front so you can disperse your local riot or flee the zombie apocalypse in fine style.

On Aug-26-13 at 15:33:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few new pics that show some of the interior and also the drill holes in the hood -- I placed a quarter in between the holes to give you some size reference -- I also took a pic of the driver door as there is a small dimple/ding below the handle on the body line -- I realized I have a spare stock wheel just like the ones it rides on -- they are the actual cool, black, stock rims with new rubber -- in fact all of the rubber on the car is very new -- Also I realized that there is a cool switch on the lower driver side dash that strobes the headlights -- pretty cool -- I also took a pic of the driver door sill as you can see that the mat has a split in it from heavy boots kicking it. I am a long time e-bayer with 100% feedback and plan on keeping it that way. Any questions or concerns you have ask me now.

I also have found the original rear wiper arm -- in one of the photos it shows it to be missing -- it has been found and put back on and it works

come drive it -- it's awesome

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

New 2016 Chevy Volt ad arrives in time for Tomorrowland

Tue, May 12 2015

As summer approaches, so do the blockbusters. We've already seen Furious 7 and The Avengers: Age of Ultron, while Mad Max: Fury Road arrives this week. Next week's big debut is Disney's Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney, and not surprisingly, the advertising campaign is kicking into gear. Perhaps attempting to capitalize on the high-tech theme of the flick, Chevrolet has teamed up with Disney for the second-generation Volt's very first commercial appearance. As we reported previously, the Volt will star on the big screen when Tomorrowland hits theaters, and it will be accompanied by the EN-V Concept. Take a look at the Volt's Tomorrowland spot, up top.
