1987 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4x4 Pickup. Original truck with only 47k actual miles. Original 350 fuel injected motor with automatic overdrive transmission. Factory A/C that has been converted over to R134 with new compressor and lines (VERY COLD). Everything works as it should and nothing has been modified except the exhaust is not original. Even the factory AM/FM radio is still present. Factory manuals included and the truck still has the original dealer license tag on the front bumper where the truck was first purchased.
Here is the story I was told about the truck when I purchased the truck from the second owners daughter. The truck was originally purchased in Pikeville, TN from a Chevrolet Dealer in 87 brand new. The owner purchased the truck for himself as a retirement gift to himself. He was only able to enjoy the truck for around 3 years when he passed away in which the owners wife placed the truck in a barn where it was mainly kept until the second owner bought the truck in 2005. The truck had some work done to get it back on the road (brakes and fuel system). It was also clear coated over the original paint to protect it. The camper top has been on the truck since new I was told. I bought the truck from the second owners daughter who placed the truck for sale because her parents were older and her mother was having trouble getting in and out of the truck due to the height. I bought the truck and repaired some minor rust that was behind the rear wheels on the bedside. The old was cut out and new metal installed and then the bedsides were repainted and blended with the original paint code. You can not tell a difference where the repairs were, the paint was blended perfect. I also installed new shocks from LMC Truck Parts. The truck runs and drives just as you would expect from a vehicle with only 47k miles on it. AC is very cold and everything works on the truck. The tires are matching and in very nice shape with plenty of tread. The bed on the truck is in great shape due to the camper top being on it since new and the bed mat. The only things worth mentioning on the truck is there is some slight hail dings on the hood and the roof. In the sun this is hard to see and it was difficult to even show up in the photos. I didn't notice it myself until I brought the truck home after buying. The truck will puff out smoke when it is first started after sitting, but it does not smoke any other time. I believe this is from where the truck sat for so long from 1990 to 2005 and the valve seals let a little oil by. Again, this is only when the truck first fires up after sitting. I have not noticed any oil usage and no smoke any other time. There is some surface rust on the drivers side rocker, but only surface rust. I have some leftover red paint in the correct color code if the new owner wanted to get this repainted. There is also some rust on the inner fenders as seen in the pictures. Also, there is a slight separation on the drivers seat upholstery. This may be something that can be repaired. These are the only issues with the truck. The drivetrain is clean underneath and the truck is a pleasure to drive. The paint is in beautiful condition and other than some small dings from normal use there is nothing to detract from the trucks looks. There is an original smog pump and hoses on the truck, but the pump does not have the belt attached to it. I am not sure if it works if it were hooked up. The truck runs perfect without it, but I wanted to let it be mentioned if the next owner has to have it hooked up. They do not makes trucks like this anymore and this is less expensive than buying a new one. |

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
Ford also working on 200-mile EV to compete with Bolt, Model 3
Fri, Mar 6 2015The Chevrolet Bolt is on a lot of people's radars. You may have even noticed friends and colleagues who harbor very little interest in the automotive world, or anything labeled as "green," who have taken notice of a 200-mile electric vehicle coming out of Detroit. Mass appeal is the idea, after all. You can include Ford in the list of interested parties, in this case with the intention of taking direct aim at the Bolt – and, by proxy, the Tesla Model 3 – with an affordable, long-range EV of its own. Ford will unveil its own long-range EV, positioned to compete with Chevrolet, later this year, according to Automobile. Details are very scarce about Ford's plans, but we do know that the Bolt (or whatever the Chevy all-electric hatchback will end up being called) is expected to offer over 200 miles of driving between charges, with a sticker price around $30,000. The other major player, of course, is Tesla's smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S. The Model 3, also slated to go on sale in 2017, should cost less than $40,000. While Tesla has established itself in the EV world, another long-range EV out of Detroit would win some customers from the California-based startup. For now, though, we'll just have to wait, as Ford remains tight-lipped about its plans for the car. Automobile predicts a possible unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, what with California's EV mandate being a driver of strategy for various automakers. Most can agree, though, that a larger field of options – while not ideal for backers of the Bolt or Model 3 – will only benefit the car-buying public.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head
Fri, Jan 30 2015"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
