For sale here is a very fine 1973 GMC Sierra. Camper Chassis originally so uprated springs and extra bracing.

It has had many modifications and it had a full body off restoration in the late 90's.

Over-bored to 358 cu in
High lift cams
High compression heads
Lightened pistons with stainless rings
Edelbrock custom intake manifold
K&N air filter

New plug leads
New heater core and plumbing / coolant flush
New fuel line
Oil/filters
Transmission flush
New high crank amp battery and reconditioned alternator.

Instrument cluster is not original (from an early '80's vehicle I believe) and Speedo / Odometer do not work. Also milage on the odometer is not the mileage of this truck.
Estimated milage done since restoration and engine around 45,000kms.

Electric windows work, power central locks do not. Locks work, just won't lock/unlock both doors from one side.
A/C works but disconnected it when it was killing the old battery.


It is a 1970's truck, so its not perfect, there is some rust but it is a very nice daily driver with mountains of power and torque and an incredible soundtrack, and since the snow tires and new heater core, useable year round.

Thanks for checking out the auction!

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
