1997 Chevrolet C2500 Silverado Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 6.5l on 2040-cars

Benton, Kentucky, United States

Up for auction is a 1997 Chevrolet Pickup, 2500 Series with a 6.5 Liter Diesel Engine.  This vehicle was purchased approximately 8 years ago by the Fire Department and was used for a brush truck.  We have upgraded the suspension some and the vehicle has decent mud/aggressive all terrain tires.

We are considering this vehicle surplus due to replacement.  The vehicle runs just fine.  It does have some wear and tear.  We cut holes in the fenders for lighting which we will leave the lights in the holes but unless another firefighter/fire department buys them, you need to consult your state/city/co as to the legality of operating them.  There were stripes on the vehicle which we have removed for the most part but impressions remain.  There are holes in the roof where a lightbar and antenna once was, plus holes and tears in floor where emergency equipment once was.  

The truck will need brakes soon, and the air conditioner does not function.  We have no idea what's wrong with it, it may just need charging but that is on someone else.  The tachometer is off a little.    As to the overall condition of the truck it is fine for a truck of its age and mileage.  It starts, runs and drives and shifts into 4 wheel drive with no operational problems.  It has manual door locks and roll up windows, basically a work truck.  

Now for the fine print.     This is a surplus vehicle and it is being sold AS-IS.  The West Marshall Fire Dept. makes no claim as to the accuracy of the condition of this vehicle or any representation other than basic observation on condition of surplus equipment.  It is the responsibility of the buyer to pick the vehicle up at our location, as we do not ship, transport or coordinate shipping other than assist a transporter service in our parking lot.  You assume all risks with this, or any equipment we sell.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

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.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
