Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE For sale is a 2004 Chevrolet Express Conversion Van by Regency. The van was custom built to the current owner’s specifications in 2004 by Regency Conversions in Fort Worth, TX. The van started out as a standard Chevy Express Van factory-painted Bronze Mist, with a 5.3-liter V-8 and 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes front and rear disc brakes, air bags, power heated mirrors, power windows, power door locks, power front seats, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM radio with CD/Cassette players, HD locking rear differential, and, most significantly, swing-out side cargo doors on both right and left sides. The Regency additions include leather seating throughout, first and second row captains chairs (front seats are 6-way power adjustable), a third row bench seat that power reclines to create a bed, custom door/side trim and ceiling panels with real wood accents throughout, sport two-tone exterior paint, high-grade carpeting and floor mats, shade blinds at all windows behind the first row of seats, and separately-controlled rear overhead air conditioning vents for the second and third row of seats. An additional cushion increases the size of the bed; it is currently removed to provide greater luggage space behind the third row, but is easily attached with 9 bolts and a ½-inch wrench. The ceiling trim contains center and side accent lighting. The third row area is equipped with a separate AM/FM CD unit and four wireless headsets. The current owner completed the customization by adding Weld alloy wheels, a Class IV hitch receiver and trailer lighting, billet grill insert, locking lug nuts, four Polk DXi650 speakers, Sirius satellite radio, and Garmin Navigation. The Sirius receiver and the navigation unit are professionally wired to the ignition circuit; no cord and 12-volt adapters litter the dash. The original Michelin tires lasted almost 75,000 miles with no unusual wear; a new set of Michelin M/S 2 LTX tires mounted on recently chromed Weld wheels really make this van sparkle, and the handling is superb. This vehicle is ideal for road trips. All seats recline and adjust for optimum time in the saddle. The 30-gallon fuel tank provides a range of over 600 miles on regular gas. The storage space behind the third row provides adequate luggage capacity for seven travelers. This van has served us well over the last 10 years with no problems other than a minor water pump leak resulting in pump and coolant replacement. Engine oil and filter has been changed every 4,000 miles using AC Delco filters and Pennzoil motor oil. The fuel tank has usually been filled with Chevron gasoline. If you are shopping for a quality van conversion that will likely provide trouble-free, stylish, comfortable, and convenient time on the road, this is it! The second row seats are easily removable, allowing for a cavernous space to transport large items. With the rear sofa reclined, it is possible to haul an item 12 feet in length! A special feature is the cargo doors on both sides, which supports passenger convenience and easy cargo loading. The side running boards provide easy access for the elderly. The exterior of the van is near perfect: no scratches, dents, parking lot dings, etc. The leather seats are in excellent condition. The factory carpeting has always been covered with auxiliary rugs and mats. This van has always been garaged and will clear a 7-foot garage door opening and allow parking in many parking structures, which beats the limitations of a high-top van conversion. You can pick this vehicle up in California and drive it home across country with confidence! You will not be disappointed! This van is relisted for auction due to questionable behavior by the previous high bidder (no deposit was received and the buyer never contacted the seller after the auction close after repeated requests by seller). Some of the questions asked during the last auction may be useful to current bidders as follows. As to selling price, the reserve is set at a price consistent with other listings for similar vans as seen on Ebay. Gas mileage at 65 mph has always been a consistent 20-21 mpg regardless of the number of passengers on board. The water pump replacement did not involve overheating; the water pump issue was noted after finding a few drops of coolant on the garage floor, which led to pump and coolant replacement. The dual exhaust system is simply the addition of a splitter aft of the OEM muffler and the creation of new right and left exhaust pipes with 24-inch stainless steel tips; there is no additional exhaust noise beyond the original condition. A receiver hitch and trailer wiring connector were added, but the van has never towed a trailer. The van has never been driven in snow, but I am sure that the weight distribution to the rear axle would allow good traction (the van is rear wheel drive). I have the title in hand and there are no liens against the vehicle. Everything on this van is as good as new, and every component is in excellent working condition. The battery was replaced less than a year ago; a buyer of this van will be comfortable knowing that no repairs or tire replacement should be required for a very long time. I, the seller, am the original owner. Please call 805-459-0931 (cell) or 805-931-0931 (home) or ask a question through ebay email if you seek more information.
