A good driving collectible. It runs great and I can send you video if you request - only serious requests please.
I bought this truck about 5 years ago in Missouri and it's obvious underneath that this truck has probably always been driven it's whole life as it should be. It has the trailing arm suspension and rides very nice and smooth with just a little float, if you know what I mean? The body is in the condition indicated by the numerous photos. I took them from everywhere possible to give you an accurate impression of the condition. To me, it is a 30 footer, for those not familiar, it looks great from 30 feet, however up close, you will see signs of use. The paint is obviously not factory paint and whoever did it may not have had a lot of experience. I only suggest this because it is swirly in a couple of places, has spider cracking in places and some of the spider cracks have raised the paint and then there is rust underneath some of them. I can honestly say in the 5 years I've owned it, having driven it only around 500 miles, the condition of the paint hasn't changed much if at all.
It uses about 1/4 quart of oil per tank of gas, and the gasket between the transmission and output shaft housing is leaking transmission fluid. I add about a quart or two every year. The power steering fluid leaks and I can't nail that one down to a specific part.
Please bid with confidence that you could fly here and drive it home, keeping an eye on the fluids, and spending a small fortune for gas. I've heard these get around 10 mpg, but then you're not buying it for that.
It's pretty much stock except for the steering wheel, tack and stereo. It has the factory a/c compressor and condenser still in place, I believe the whole system is in it. I will have a panel for the glove box door before the end of the auction so ignore it in the pics. Its a nice truck to drive and you'll get the looks.
Not very visible in the pics so I'm pointing out that there are some rust bubbles on the wheel wells, but under the hood it's relatively clean. The wheels have some rust spots, but I haven't tried chrome polish on them yet and will update you if you ask about if it works. Best guess would be a few rust spots on each wheel will be through the plating. Also, the passenger door button on the outside fell into the door and I haven't and won't have time to fix it. Look at LMC Trucks website or elsewhere, restoration parts for these are readily available.
The auction is no reserve so bid to win and you will. The truck must be picked up by July 10th, or between Aug 10-14th. We are moving which is why I'm selling, no storage where I'm going. Please check shipping options.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
