1986 GMC K-1500 Sierra Classic 4x4- 38k original 1-owner miles!
A TRUE SURVIVOR!
This particular GMC was purchased brand new by Harvey and Alma at Sangster GMC in Wenatchee, Washington on May 7th 1986. The truck was prized enough they even had a dash plaque made that read “Built especially for Harvey and Alma”. This truck remained in Harvey’s care until his death and was subsequently cared for by his wife Alma. It has been garaged since new and has never seen inclement weather. It has traveled just 38k miles since new. This is truly as close to new as you would ever find!
Here is an overview:
Here is how the truck is equipped:
Exterior:
Paint- The truck has never been damaged in any way and is wearing 100% original paint as verified by paint meter. In fact this truck has the most consistent and lowest paint meter reading I have ever seen on ANY car, from 2.0-4.0 mils on EVERY panel! The paint has suffered none of the typical fading or peeling that is so common on this generation of GM trucks. Take a look at the paint on the roof and the hood in the photos, those are the reflections of the clouds you see, crazy! You simply wont believe the paint on this truck!
Trim- all of the Deco trim that comes on these nicely trimmed Sierra Classic trucks is present and primo! No pitting, fading, etc. on any of the trim or decals. Even the factory tape pinstripe that separates the red from the white is damaged or missing! The only items worth noting is the lower trim on the passenger bedside is starting to delaminate and there is a slight crease in the tailgate trim, passenger side which is visible in the pictures.
Glass- 100% of the glass is original to the truck including the windshield and it along with all the gaskets and moldings’ are like new.
Wheels and Tires- The truck is wearing its original 15” Rally wheels and beauty rings that show no wear. The Bridgestone Dueler tires have just 5,000 miles and are the correct 235/75/15 size.
Bed- The bed simply has to be seen to be believed! It obviously has never been used or hauled anything of note. It has a fitted bed mat that is very nice and the original paint underneath is nearly new. You will note it has never even had a hitch installed. Talk about light use for a truck. The photos speak for themselves on this front!
Interior-
Seat- The Burgundy bench seat is like new, no stains, no wear marks, etc.
Carpets- the original carpets are likewise clean with no notable wear. It even still has the original OE vinyl floor mats embossed “GM”. Awesome!
Dash/Headliner/Door Panels- Pristine and as new.
Electronics- EVERYTHING on the truck works as designed including the power windows, locks, cruise control, HVAC, Electronic ETR stereo, gauges, cab lights, bed lights, etc.
Mechanical-
The truck starts with the first turn of the key and idles perfectly. It makes good power and shifts smoothly through the gears. The brakes engage at the top of the pedal with no pulling or pulsation. The truck tracks straight and true and you can take your hands off the wheel at 70 mph. I just serviced the truck and changed its fluids, its ready to go.
Underneath- I have crawled all over this truck from top to bottom and it is absolutely dry underneath, no oil or fluid leaks anywhere. Not detailed clean, just obviously loved and never exposed to bad weather clean. The only item I noted was the exhaust had been changed to a glass pack style muffler, which I didn’t like so I had a more correct exhaust and tailpipe installed.
Rust- these trucks are VERY prone to rust and most are so full of cancer that they are now parts trucks. This truck is 100% rust free. It just has never been exposed. For those of you not familiar this truck lived its entire life In North Central Washington. Unlike Seattle this portion of the sate is simply bone dry. Less than 9 inches of rainfall per year, very low humidity, warm summers and no proximity to salt air means an ideal car preservation climate. For those of you back East or in the Mid-west, you probably haven’t seen one like this since the 1980’s.
Accessories:
On any collectible its important to have the little stuff, here is what I have:
I have over 100 high resolution photos of this truck, please feel free to email me and I will send them all to you. Overall I think this has to be nicer than 99.9% of these trucks still on the road. You could restore one, but they are only original once!
I am a licensed motor vehicle dealer in the state of Washington, dealer # 1777. I specialize mostly in Porsche but have an affinity for survivor quality American trucks. EBay will not allow a direct link to my site but feel free to go to “Columbia Valley Luxury Cars” to see what we are about.
I have tried to describe the truck as completely as I possible can. I won’t go so far as to say that is it 100% perfect, but I have never seen a nicer one. It is very low miles for its age. It is totally original. Everything works the way it did in 1986. Please contact me with any questions you might have.
Please feel free to ask any questions via email. I will not disclose the reserve, so please don’t ask. A non-refundable deposit of $1000 will be required within 48 hours via PayPal.
Please have your financing arranged in advance; it is almost guaranteed this truck will sell for above high blue book, which means you will probably have to come up with some cash on your own. Failure to obtain financing is not a valid reason to not purchase the car. I do not provide in house financing. No trades unless you are local and I can physically inspect the vehicle.
As required by law I am disclosing that the vehicle will be sold As-Is No-Warranty. Please remember that while this vehicle has only 38,000 original miles it is 28 years old and as such some items might require maintenance and repair in the future due to age and not necessarily mileage.
If you are new to E-bay or have no feedback please email me prior to bidding to establish your legitimacy. If you have excessive negative ratings I reserve the right to cancel your bid. |

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
2015 GMC Yukon Denali
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Automotive enthusiasts often wonder aloud - ourselves included - why General Motors would choose to keep GMC while sending Pontiac (and Saturn, and even Oldsmobile before it) into the great automotive graveyard in the sky. The answer, as is so often the case, is profit. It's much easier for GM to rake in money hand over fist by rejiggering the trucks, crossovers and SUVs that it would already be developing for Chevrolet and making them a bit more luxurious and *ahem* "Professional Grade" with new grilles, badges and unique packaging for GMC.
While it may sound like we're being cynical, we totally approve of GM's fullsize SUV strategy. The least-expensive way to get into the fold is with the Chevrolet Tahoe, which starts at $45,595 with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a cloth interior. Bumping that same Chevy to LTZ trim and its $59,995 sticker price lands a much nicer leather-clad interior and more techno-bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. But it still looks like a Tahoe, and it still comes with the smaller 5.3-liter engine. Or, you could do what we'd do: Walk into your GMC dealer and take a look at the Yukon Denali. Here's why.
Driving Notes
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today 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.
