It’s with a heavy heart that I’m offering this truck up for sale. I understand that to many, it’s just a truck. Something used for hauling truck stuff, but to me, it’s more than that. It’s a time machine to my childhood. I’ve grown up with this truck. As a child, I climbed in the bed, rode in the passenger’s seat, and sat on the tailgate. It's been owned by my grandparents since new, and thus, it’s been a big part of my life. My grandparents, who are the original owners of the truck, have finally reached a point where they don’t need it any longer, and thus, my childhood dream of owning this blue beauty has become reality. It's finally mine. Unfortunately, at this point in my life, I have neither the space nor the resources to give it a proper home, and as much as I love to fantasize about future plans for this sentimental piece of metal, I'd rather help find it a proper home.


All sentimental value aside, this really isn’t your average 100K mi+ American hauler that’s been owned by several careless owners. It hasn't been ridden hard, put it away filthy, and left it to rot. Not at all. This particular example, while not in impeccable showroom shape, is in incredible condition for being a truck that just celebrated it’s 30th birthday. In the eyes of the state of New Jersey, it qualifies as a classic. And the mileage? Equally as impressive. Only 53,540 miles grace the odometer on this fine piece of American iron.


Why the low mileage? Well, this truck has never been daily driven. It was special ordered in 1982 for the primary purpose of towing a horse trailer back and forth to the trainer and the race track. Aside from hauling race horses; It has been used for truck stuff. The bed has hauled new furniture, old furniture, lawn and garden supplies and equipment, construction supplies, and even groceries.  So, it’s been used, but never abused, and it’s always been parked out of the elements in a pole barn garage for the past 30 years.


The exterior of the truck is in great condition and has great curb appeal, with the midnight blue paint being in excellent shape for it’s age. There are only a few minor scuffs and chips here and there, but nothing major. It’s never been in an accident, and it’s never had any paintwork done. Inside, the truck is immaculate, with the dash, seats, door panels, and carpet original and spotless, and devoid of holes or cracks. The original color-matched vinyl floor mats are in great shape. All lights, switches, and gauges are operational, and the AC Delco AM/FM stereo works without a hitch, although it takes a bit of getting used to when compared to the digital systems of the modern age.


As far as the greasy bits go, it's been well maintained and taken care of over the years, the drivetrain has never been pulled nor replaced, and all service records will come with the truck, along with the owners manual, options spec sheet, and original keys. The truck starts, runs, and drives extremely well, with none of the rattles and squeaks you typically hear from trucks this age. Although the inspection expired in 2012, it last passed with flying colors, and it's been kept on a battery tender while in storage, and I've started and pulled the truck out of parking periodically to keep the fluids circulating.


I will address a few minor imperfections. Under the hood, there are some minor oil leaks from the valve covers. There is one piece of trim missing in the photos, it just needs to be reattached with double-sided tape, it's included with the truck behind the driver's seat. There’s no rust on the body save for one small spot behind the passenger rear wheel, but the entire body and frame was undercoated and rustproofed when the truck was purchased in 1983. Inside, the headliner fabric will need to be reattached, as it’s sagging, but otherwise the interior is in phenomenal shape. Also, the right front caliper sticks a bit and will need to be addressed before the truck can travel very far, and I would also recommend an oil change.


That being said, the problems listed are minor and easily repaired, and this truck deserves to be more than someone’s rusty old scrap hauler, or a derelict farm beater. Somewhere out there, there’s someone who has a soft spot for these old GM pickups, much like myself, and this is a great, clean example ready for someone to appreciate and care for it.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability as quickly as I can.


This is an as-is sale. No refunds, returns, or exchanges will be accepted. Buyer assumes all responsibility for local pick-up or transport. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. This truck has been re-listed due to a non-paying buyer. Thanks for viewing!

OnStar to offer 90-day driving assessment, possible insurance discount

Wed, Jan 7 2015

General Motors has announced a brace of new features for OnStar, two of which could help you save money assuming you're willing to sign over some (more) personal details. The first is a driving assessment program in which OnStar takes note of certain driving parameters for 90 days, then provides the driver feedback on their driving, both individually and when compared to other drivers in the program, as well as driving tips. Think of it as OnStar's ICE version of the Nissan Leaf's CARWING feature that compares how efficient your electric driving is compared to other BEV drivers. In this case, though, certain drivers will have the chance to share their assessment with Progressive Insurance, and if the numbers are right they might get a "driving-based" discount from the insurance company. The assessment program is voluntary, and requires opting in. It will be available this summer on all new GM cars and some GM vehicles back to 2013. In case this sounds like Big Brother, let's not forget that Big Brother is already here and moved in so long ago that he's a member of the Kiwanis club and is hosting neighborhood block parties. Progressive already has a million enrollees in a program called Snapshot that tracks OBD II data to offer usage-based insurance to provide annual pricing based on how much you drive your car, with discounts of up to 30 percent. The OnStar effort is just another way to do that. The second feature is proximity offers through AtYourService, which notifies drivers to deals and information on their driving route and provides coupons from RetailMeNot and Entertainment Book. Beyond that, a deal with Priceline will let OnStar agents book hotels for you starting this year, there's a tie-in with Dunkin' Donuts, too, but we're fuzzy on those benefits, and third new feature lets Chevrolet owners know when certain parts need replacing.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email. General Motors is recalling 273,182 Buick LaCrosse sedans and Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saab and Isuzu midsize SUVs in the U.S. for possible intermittent or permanent loss of low beam headlamps. Affected models are: 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse sedans; 2006-2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and 2006 TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X and 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender midsize SUVs. If the headlamp driver modules is not operating correctly, the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate. This condition does not affect the high-beam headlamps, marker lamps, turn signals, or fog lamps. GM has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents. The total population, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and exports from North America is 316,357. The NHTSA was sent the Part 573 information for this recall on November 25. It has not yet posted to the NHTSA website.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan. Related Video: OPEL GROUP ANNOUNCES GAME-CHANGING AMPERA-e BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR New battery electric vehicle will break down barriers to electric mobility Five-door, five-seat Ampera-e will have longer range than most electric cars Fun to drive, outstanding connectivity and affordably priced Russelsheim. Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
