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.

2021 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon facelift spied

Fri, Sep 20 2019

The Chevy Colorado and its GMC Canyon twin have been on sale for a good long time now, and while things move a little more slowly on the truck side when it comes to facelifts and model changeovers, it seems like it’s about time. So itÂ’s no surprise to see some lightly camouflaged trucks running around ahead of what appears to be a minor refresh for the 2021 model year. Starting with the Colorado, it appears to have a bowtie hiding behind some camo in the center of the grille, which otherwise looks like the no-bowtie option you can get on 2019-and-up trucks. It could be that Chevy is keeping the no-bowtie grille design but allowing a bowtie to grace it, or it could be misdirection. Either way, the grille pattern adds a bit of flair to the otherwise staid front end design. There also appears to be a bit more shape to the lower air inlet, with echoes of some of the lower fascias of its bigger Silverado stablemate. The Canyon, on the other hand, shows more extensive front-end changes. At first glance, it looks to emulate some variants of the GMC Sierra, which would make sense given those modelsÂ’ changes for the 2020 model year. In particular, this Canyon has hints of Sierra HD, being more square and monolithic than the regular Sierra 1500s, although itÂ’s a little hard to tell with the camo covering the edges of the grille. It could certainly also adopt more rounded corners like the 1500s. Either way, itÂ’s more vertical and thereÂ’s less differentiation between the upper grille and lower opening. ThereÂ’s nothing in the way of changes around the sides or back, and while there may be some minor changes inside, we arenÂ’t expecting any. The word around town is that this isnÂ’t a full facelift, but rather a minor front end tweak thatÂ’ll just be a regular part of the model-year changeover. 

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.
