Vehicle Detail
1994 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck built in June of 1994 at the Shreveport LA plant. I found a lot of reading on 1997 and 1998 S10 electricars, but not on a 1994, other than Hughes Aircraft was the original designer and it was changed to Electricar. (The Controller on this truck is stamped HUGHES) I purchased the truck in Norman Oklahoma at an impound auction. The truck is in fantastic shape and I bought it for body and interior parts. The batteries were removed before I purchased it, so I have no idea what works and what does not. The original books are still in the vehicle including the Driver Briefing Card, Driver's Log Book for Product Evaluation Program, Owners Manual and cassette tape, manual for FM200 Floor Mount Inductive charger, and business cards from eV electrovehicle from Virginia Power in Richmond Virginia. The placards, or stickers, on the truck are different than the ones normally seen on trucks of this era. It also has a charging point in an opening on the front grill I have not seen on pictures of others. The second plugin port is behind what usually would be the gas cap lid. Under the hood is a whole new world for my eyes, but I can tell no components appear to have been taken off. Any questions about specifics that I wouldn't notice contact me and I will look and take pictures to send. The truck was at an impound auction I will receive a good clean Oklahoma title, but it usually takes several months to be processed. Once I have the title it can be immediately signed over to the new owner with no problems. I would guess the truck was given or assigned to the University of Oklahoma when it was new, but I cannot document that. You can tell the tires are all original including the spare which obviously has never been on the ground. The bed has no dents in or dings inside the bed and again obiously was never used as a truck or to transport cargo. Outside the bed has very light bend where the bed was taken off to get to the batteries. The cab has several very small hail dents from living in Oklahoma. Overall the body is exceptional. The interior is cloth with no tears, the dash board has some cracks on top, but all in all it is also in exceptional condition. I believe this is a very rare truck that was used to proceed the building of the 1997 and 1998 models which didn't work out for GM. I CUT MY RESERVE PRICE IN HALF TO SELL. On Feb-27-14 at 07:35:07 PST, seller added the following information: I added 3 more pictures with the bed on the truck. I also found out yesterday the truck was at the University of Oklahoma on a Grant Program in the 90's. After the Professor retired the University did not know what to do with the vehicle so it sat idle until they finally just wanted it removed to be out of the way. I also received an email from an Ebayer telling me it is a USELECTRICAR and Yahoo has a website. On Feb-27-14 at 07:40:26 PST, seller added the following information: The pictures with the hood open, that is dirt and dust from many years of setting idle. I did not want to wash or clean under the hood since I am not familiar with electrical parts. It looks rusty, but it is not, that is dirt and dust. On Mar-06-14 at 06:10:18 PST, seller added the following information: I cut my Reserve by more than half.
