Overall the car is in great condition. The vehicle underwent a basic restoration in 2010. The following was done to the vehicle:

1.  Had SBC 350 rebuilt and bored out .060.  2-step up cam installed during rebuild.
2.  New rebuilt 200R4 transmission with appropriate cross member.
3.  Edelbrock carb, intake, fuel pump, and water pump installed.
4.  New power steering pump, AC, steering gearbox, master cylinder, 
5.  New brake and fuel lines.
6.  Installed like-new complete dash.
7.  New carpet and seat covers, interior trim and panels dyed black.
8.  New paint and rhino-type liner in bed.
9.  Removed bumpers and installed roll pan.
10.  Custom tail gate with license plate bracket removed.
11.  New cowl front hood.
12.  All new bushings, tie rods, u-joints, etc, brakes, etc.
13.  New grill and light bezels
14.  New weatherstripping for doors and windows
15.  Flowmaster Exhaust (I believe Super 40) dumped before rear axle.
16.  Rear End from 1985 Monte SS (3.73 I think, non-posi as I was led to believe it was).
17.  205/75R15 Coopers on front, 275/60R15 Tiger Paws on rear.  Great Tread.
18.  Vintage looking American Racing wheels.
19.  Tinted windows (not pictured).

I am positive there is more not listed here...

In a nutshell, car was stripped down to bare body on frame (frame was never removed although all frame mounts and bushings were replaced).  
Essentially all components are new or rebuilt, and all suspension parts were either sand blasted and repainted or replaced and painted.

There is very little to this car that hasn't been replaced in the engine compartment (radiator, coolant reservoir, washer fluid reservoir, 
wiper motor....these are original and what I can think of right now).

Although this car is in excellent shape, there are a couple items that could be better: 

1. Small ding on left rear quarter above wheel well.  Hardly noticeable unless you know it is there,
2. Small indention on front right of hood (pushed a little hard in closing it, and in the wrong place)
3. A couple minor chips on front bumper (it has been driven...maybe 200 miles since restoration)
4. A couple interior trim piece are screwed in from outside (couldn't locate clips at the time).
5. Some dings are chrome around bed (have replacement chrome for this for all except tailgate and rear corners that would be included).
6. Seat covers were low quality...can easily be replaced.
7. Transmission fluid cover leaks slightly and occasionally.  I am told this is common and that a 700R4 pan would fix.

This car runs and rides great...and is definitely loud. And is definitely an attention-getter that only needs a little minor work to make show ready.

Thanks for looking and bidding!  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Payment by bank wire also accepted.

THIS CAR IS ALSO BEING SOLD LOCALLY AND THE LISTING COULD BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
