Chevrolet Express LS (1997)
for sale

Price: US $549.00

Description:

Hello I have a full size 1997 Chevy Chevrolet Express 1500 G1500 LS passenger van sales for parts repair salvage. It has about 235, 000 miles on it. This van is also basically the same as the GMC Savanna.
There is something wrong with the transmission and it needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Also the PRND display is out for some reason. The vehicle still drives, but is very sluggish and is getting terrible gas mileage. It feels like something isn't engaging well in the transmission.
Other than the transmission the van is in good condition - I depended on it for my business. It has the LS package which has all of the fully loaded top of the line options. It has the 5.7L liter engine which still runs great and the class III/IV tow package. It was also safety certified as a commercial vehicle by the State of Illinois last year. I would consider myself to be a semi-professional mechanic and performed a lot of maintenance of the van myself, perhaps more than I should have, and have all maintenance records since I owned it. I religiously changed the oil. The A/C air conditioning still blows very cold and the heater still blows very hot. It has no problem starting. I recently replaced all 4 tires and they only have about 8500 miles on them total. The rear diff differential was very recently rebuilt and is basically brand new. The windshield doesn't have a scratch on it.
This van has served me really well for the past couple years as a very comfortable work van and I am really sad I need to sell it. I would have totally be willing to replace the transmission myself but I was planning on selling the van anyways because I own two other Ford vans and I want to standardize my fleet. If you're willing to put it the work and rebuild/replace the transmission your
The negative things about the van is that the rear A/C and heater core don't work anymore, there are some dents and scratches and minor rust developing on the body, the front power window can occasionally stick open (but always closes if you give it a minute or two), the interior panels on the front doors are bolted on, and the front headliner in the front is coming off but is held on with a bunch of push pins and has never been an issue.
Local pickup only.
I have the title in hand in my name. Please contact me for questions or additional pictures. Thanks!
