Patterson, California, United States

For sale is a 1973 GMC Jimmy Sierra full convertible 4x4.  I purchased this vehicle 3 years ago from the owner who did the frame-off restoration 3 years prior.  The restoration has approximately 7,000 miles on it between the original owner and the miles that I have driven it.  This vehicle was restored to look original without the sluggish and restricted smog compliant motors of those years.  This vehicle is now smog exempt.  Since I did not rebuild it myself I do not know the specifics of what went into the motor.  I do know that it was completely rebuilt from the top to the bottom and equipped with upgraded intake, carb, ignition, headers, cam, exhaust, and etc.  Some of this can be seen in the pictures as well as the overall condition and cleanliness under the hood.  The builder said he had the engine built up to 400 horsepower.  I can not verify that but this engine does have some serious "get up and go" and runs strong and smooth as it should.  It is paired to the rebuilt TH-350 automatic transmission with shift kit.  It always runs cool with all new hoses and cooling system.  The interior is near perfect.  A new Alpine receiver was installed to use with smartphone, iPod, or mp3's and its connected to new JL Audio speakers that sound great.  The vehicle has an alarm system and keyless entry.  Although it has factory AC it does not blow cold.  All controls and heater work great but the AC needs to be charged.  The AC has not worked since I have owned the vehicle but I never charged it or investigated if the system had a leak since I have always used it with the top off anyway.  The needle on the gear indicator also does not work.  It indicates "P" all the time.  Other than the two issues mentioned, everything else is in excellent condition and functions as it should.  This vehicle is a 4x4 but it has never seen dirt.  It has always been garaged and only used to cruise the streets on weekends with good weather.  This vehicle runs and drives as new.  It holds the road extremely well and brakes true.  It has plenty of power and is perfectly reliable and comfortable to drive on any trip.  When I bough it, it had aftermarket wheels so I bought some factory rally's and hubs and had them painted and polished to original spec.  I put new Michelin tires on them and have not driven it 500 miles since.  The builder also installed an extra seat in the back you can view in the pictures.  I have described the vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures describe it well too, but for any questions serious buyers may have they can call me at 209-605-5946 and I will try to answer.  All in all this is a turn key truck that's ready for a new owner to drive and enjoy.  

Thanks

$500 Deposit at close of auction for winning bidder.  Cash, cashiers check, or wire transfer for remaining funds.  Will help with shipping arrangements at buyers expense.  Sold As Is.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
