Up for auction is a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 Extended cab 3 door. 

This truck has a rebuilt title. That means that the vehicle was involved in an accident and that the insurance company felt that the repair bill would exceed the value of the vehicle. Therefore they sold it at an auction where I purchased it and repaired the damage myself. That being said....

This truck has a 5.3 liter V-8 engine and an automatic O/D transmission. The engine starts right up and runs smooth. This vehicle starts, runs, drives, shifts, turns, and stops exactly as it should. Despite having just under 231K miles, this truck has plenty of power. The transmission shifts perfectly also. This truck also has push button 4 wheel drive. I believe the truck also has a factory towing package as the trailer hitch on the rear appears to be original. 

The exterior of the vehicle has a very nice shine to it. There are a couple small defects (scratches, dings, etc.) in the paint, but I would say it is in great shape for a 15 year old vehicle. There is NO RUST anywhere on this truck, which is very unusual for one of these trucks. I get compliments everywhere I go with it. I would give it a 9 out of 10. I believe the pictures represent it well. 

The interior is also very nice. The seats are clean and tear free. There is a small stain on the back seat, but I'm sure it's nothing a good detail job wouldn't take care of. The carpet is also clean, but has stains form normal use. I would give it an 7 out of 10. The pictures represent it well also. 

There isn't anything that would keep me from driving this truck cross-country tomorrow. We have had it for a little over a year now and it has proven to be a reliable truck. The only thing that I can think of that would need replacing is the tires. They are not bald, but they are worn down to the wear bars. They would be fine to drive it home on and would probably last you the rest of the summer and fall, but I would recommend replacing them before driving in snow. 

This vehicle is available from now until the end of the auction for inspections and test drives. If you'd like to come and see it in person before bidding, send me a message through ebay and we'll set something up. By bidding, you are entering into a legally binding contract to purchase a vehicle. 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

Shipping is not being offered on this truck. If you need shipping, feel free to arrange it with a vehicle shipper of your choice. I will do my best to assist your shipper in any way possible, but I will not be responsible for any damages to the vehicle during shipment. The truck is located in Knox, Indiana. The zip code is 46534. If you'd like to fly in and drive the truck home, I'd be happy to pick you up at Midway airport in Chicago, or South Bend Regional airport in South Bend, Indiana as long as you fly in on the weekend. I have a full time job that prevents me from traveling during the week. 

This vehicle is being offered at NO RESERVE! The winning bider at the end of the auction drives it home. There is a $200 deposit due within 24 hours if the end of the auction via PAYPAL. The remainder of the winning bid is to be paid in CASH at the time of vehicle pickup. Pickup is to be no later than 7 days after the end of the auction. If you are not willing or able to meet any or all of these terms, please don't waste your time or mine by bidding. I am a very honest and straightforward person and if we are to do business, you should be also. 

Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years

Wed, Jan 28 2015

If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
