Montgomery City, Missouri, United States

1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4, Shortbed, Original 400 V-8, Automatic Transmission, Painted Hot Rod Flat Black w/ All New Trim and Stainless Accents.    The engine had already had some improvements added on to it before I had purchased the truck.  An Edelbrock aluminum intake and Edelbrock carb had already been installed and we added a few small engine accessories such as the chrome valve covers and air cleaner. Complete fresh tune-up including cap, rotor, wires, plugs, fuel filter and pump.  The engine runs very strong and sounds  great.  Engine does not blow any smoke when it first starts up as many Chevrolet engines do.  The exhaust on the truck is true dual exhaust with turbo mufflers - NOT glasspacks.  I like a nice tone from my exhaust - Not loud redneck exhaust by no means.  I had my mechanic look over the entire drivetrain and he replaced all the front u-joints in the front axle, greased and packed all the front bearings, new brakes, and converted over to lock out hubs. Also just had a front end alignment done as well.  Truck is setting on 31x11.50 Super Swampers on 15x8 Original style Ralley Wheels.  This truck originally was an Arizona truck so the tuck never had any major rust issues to speak of. Body wise the truck has a new hood, hood springs, 1980's style doors, replacement cab corners, and pretty much the rest of the truck is the original sheet metal.   Body and paint was done in a professional body shop - Not is someones back yard.  Other goodies include New front grille, New head light bezels, New front bumper, New chrome door handles, New wheel opening mouldings, New aluminum bed caps, New aluminum tailgate protector, New windshield, New chrome wing vent handles, Aluminum tool box, and Custom hand painted pinstriping by MK John Studio just to mention a few.

As for the interior - Pretty much everything is fresh, new, or redone.  Dash has been upgraded to the newer style dash.  Pyle Am/FM Stereo w/ small box speakers mounted behind seat.  Door panels are also the newer style door panels. New headliner, Old school seat, New carpet kit, New seat belts, New chrome window cranks, New chrome interior door handles, Dome light functions as it should, and gauge package was reworked and all gauges now work as they should - Even the gas gauge works correctly (Which if you have ever owned an old Chevy this is amazing to see one actually work correctly).

Not really to much bad to say about this old truck other than the original air conditioning system had been removed before I got my hands on it and I did not mess with it so yes, it is still off the truck.  Otherwise, this old truck is pretty tight and rattle free.  Doors fit up good and it rides and drives good going down the road.  The truck just passed Missouri safety inspection meaning everything checked out good and tight with the suspension, all lights work as they should, and yes even the horn blows correctly.

I know I am forgetting to mention a ton of stuff as I have worked on this truck in my spare time for about the last year and a half or so.  Honestly I had no intentions of selling this truck but we are building a new home and some of my toys needs to go as we are already going over budget on the house so truck is going up for sale.  The truck is for sale locally as well as here on Ebay so I do reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  I was a collector car dealer about 10 years ago and we used to sell a ton of cars through Ebay so I have heard a lot of scams over the years so please do not even try with me.  My description is an honest description - Look at my feedback and bid with confidence.  My phone number is 573-220-5566 if you have any questions feel free to give me a call.  I can also help with shipping arrangements as I still have some connections with several different shipping companies around the United States as we used to ship cars all over the United States and overseas. A $1000.00 deposit will be expected within 3 days of auction end and the balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auctions end.  Vehicle will not be released until all funds have cleared.  Thanks.......

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids

Mon, Dec 28 2015

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
