I am re-listing this because EBAY cancelled the first listing due to some loser who was bidding with someone else's account. Sorry to all those who honestly bid on it. Anyway, here it is again:

I am the third owner of this very nice Chevy pickup. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his neighbor (the original owner) so I have all the history on the truck. The original owner bought it for his wife while they were on a trip in Nevada, but it has always been kept here in Southern California. The wife died shortly after they bought the truck so it didn't get much use except that the man drove it to work once a week to keep it maintained. He put a rebuilt engine in it at 75,000 miles and then sold it to my friend about five years ago when it had about 83,000. My friend went all out to restore it back to like new condition, including:

New paint. Note that the truck had never been in an accident nor had any dents or rust, so there is no body filler or rust whatsoever on it. Even the bumpers are original.

Rebuilt front axle, transfer case and transmission. Warn hubs were added and the transfer case was modified so the truck is now a more economical part-time 4X4. By the way, the 4x4 works fine.

Put aftermarket rims and new BFG tires on it. I would say the tires are about 50-60% right now.

Complete brake job front and rear. The power brakes work surprisingly well for an older truck.

Added the bedliner and aftermarket grill.

Replaced the windshield. It's real nice, no cracks or pits.

The interior was also completely refurbished including, new dash pad, new headliner, new carpet, aftermarket steering wheel, and the seat was recovered.

A CD stereo with USB, IPOD control, remote control and Pyle speakers was added too.

I bought the truck in November 2011 with about 116,000 miles on it. I used it as my daily driver until a couple of weeks ago. I have a short commute. This is a really nice truck to drive around in because it has a great classic look but also has all the comforts of a modern vehicle. The power windows, power locks, air conditioning and heat all work great. All of the gauges work. It has dual gas tanks and the selector switch works. The truck starts easy, shifts good, has lots of power and stops well. Since I have had it I replaced the heater core, the radiator and the water pump. The radiator and the heater core both started leaking around the same time, shortly after I bought it. The water pump started leaking six months later. Note that the truck never overheated (nor does it now), it's just that I noticed small water leaks and fixed them right away. I tuned it up a couple of months ago and rotated the tires and checked the brakes a couple of weeks ago. Also, at some point I replaced the window weatherstripping on the driver side because it was making a whistling sound. It's nice and quiet now. I have the weatherstripping for the other side and it will go with the truck. Finally, I added the bumper hitch ball (2 inch) and trailer wiring appropriate for a boat (4 wire flat). I towed my jet boat with it once and it did fine even up the grade with the air on.

There are three minor issues with the truck that I can recall right now: 1) The cruise control does not work. I never even tried it until a few days ago, so I have no idea what's wrong with it. 2) The horn doesn't work. I believe it is the switch or the relay because the fuse and the horn itself both check out fine. 3) One of the wheel studs is broken off. I was going to repair it the next time it needed brakes, but it doesn't need brakes yet so I haven't done it. You should also be aware that while this truck looks really nice, it does have some small dings, scratches, etc. The imperfections don't show up very well in the pics, probably because of the white paint.

Some other good stuff to know: I have the original owner's manual for the truck. The truck passed the California smog test on 2-4-13 and it's good for 60 days so if you're going to register this in California you won't need to worry about it passing smog. Finally, note that I expect to be paid in cash, upon pickup, within 7 days after the close of the auction. I will not ship the truck, the buyer will need to pick it up (or send someone else to pick it up) in Simi Valley, California. Also note that I am selling this truck As-Is. While I feel that truck is in great condition and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, we all know that vehicles break down from time to time. So if it breaks after you buy it, then it's your problem. If you want to come out and look at the truck in person feel free to contact me through EBAY messages and we can set up a time that works for both of us.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

2016 Chevy Camaro teased as current-gen car prepares to hit 500k sales

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Just as Chevrolet prepares to launch the sixth-generation Camaro, the current, fifth-generation car is about to hit a major milestone: 500,000 units sold in the United States. That's impressive, and to celebrate, Chevy has released this video, showing the Camaro Z/28 doing what it does best around a race track. But that's not all there is to see in this video. At the end, Chevy gives us a glimpse at the sixth-generation Camaro, expected to debut in the not-too-distant future. Have a look, and check out Chevy's press blast, below, for more details about the 500k sales mark.

The fifth-generation Camaro has been a runaway success for Chevrolet since it went on sale in August 2009. Camaro sales passed Mustang in 2010, to become America's best-selling performance car – a title Camaro has retained for five consecutive years. In the process, the Camaro has helped bring new buyers to Chevrolet – with 63 percent of retail buyers new to GM. "The fifth-generation Camaro has clearly resonated with both long-time Camaro fans, and first time performance-car buyers," said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. "That sets the bar high for the next chapter of the car's history." Remarkably, the Camaro continues to gain momentum, even as the fifth-generation Camaro nears the end of production this year. In 2014, Camaro total sales increased 7.1 percent for its second-best year of sales since its introduction.

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019

Tue, Nov 6 2018

As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:
