Up for Auction is a 1981 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe Pickup in Original Condition. This truck is a daily driver which drives and feels like it's limited low mileage. It is equipped with the original 4.1L Inline 250c.i Chevrolet 6 cylinder engne with a 3 speed column shift manual transmission. The actual mileage on this truck is 70,825 miles, and the truck comes with all shop records, original manuals, and all other dealer documentation. Fuel mileage is around 16/17 city, and 19/22 highway. This truck is titled in the state of Georgia.

When originally purchased in 1981 in Florence Alabama, the dealer installed aftermarket A/C but it has never been converted to R-134. The interior is all original, but the dashboard is in poor shape and it is covered by a dash mat. Tires are in good condition and the drivetrain and suspension is in good to excellent condition. The truck has a very small exhaust leak in the rear of the manifold and the original Delco muffler will need replaced. I have used a JB weld exhaust patch on the muffler to make it quieter, but the muffler will need replacing.

Despite being originally purchased as a farm truck, this vehicle has had very little hard use through it's life and the truck has very little rust. There are several small rust spots inside the door threshhold (see images), but the body is essentially rust free and has never been damaged in an accident. The bed of the truck has a dealership installed bed liner that has been on it since new.

This is the sought after short bed body, and the mileage is a true and accurate indication of the way this truck feels and drives going down the road. It is very rare to find a truck that is 33 years old in this type of condition. The only un-original additions to this truck are a CD/FM Radio and door speakers.

If you are looking for a very nice completely original "Box Chevy" truck for restoration or just as a dependable daily driver (as it has been for me), this truck is for you. I have listed this vehicle with a very reasonable reserve price for a quick sale. Truck is also for sale locally so the seller reserves the right to end the auction early (if sold locally.)

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding.

The discerning "car/truck guy " eye will notice the GM mark and the original hose clamp on the top radiator hose. This, unbelievably is the original factory top hose and it is still pliable and in good condition with the original hose clamp. I have replaced the factory installed Delco front disc brake pads with high quality NAPA semi metallic pads.

If you are looking for a very nice completely original "Box Chevy" truck for restoration or just as a dependable daily driver (as it has been for me), this truck is for you. I have listed this vehicle with a very reasonable reserve price and a 3 day auction for a quick sale. Truck is also for sale locally so the seller reserves the right to end the auction early (if sold locally.)

If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesistate to ask.

This is only a 3 day auction, so I will be certain to respond quickly.

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
