PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, read everything before bidding or emailing questions.  Chances are good that your question in answered somewhere in the following text...

No reserve auction for 1990 Chevy 1/2 Ton 8-foot bed 2-wheel drive pick up truck.  Starts right up without hesitation and runs smooth.  Starts, stops, and shifts through all gears as it should.  Biggest issue is a SIGNIFICANT oil leak at the rear of the pan.  Assume it will need a new pan gasket.  I do not know if oil has gotten on the clutch -- for the sake of this description, you should assume there is oil on the clutch. 

Truck was purchased new by my father in 1990.  He is the only owner and there is a clear Pennsylvania title in his name.  Generally a bare-bones truck;  has a V-6 and 4-speed with overdrive.  No knocks, funny noises or smoke.  Only vehicle options are cruise, AM/FM and air conditioning.  AC does not blow cold.  Truck has a brand new battery.  It will start right up and start, stop, and shift as it should.  Brakes are good; tires are average and will pass Pennsylvania inspection. 

Interior is remarkably good considering the exterior.  Cloth bench seats without any rips or damage.  Rubber factor mats do not have any damage. 

There is a star break in the center of the windshield, as shown in one of the included photos.  Break has not gotten any larger in over five years. 

Paint is poor with surface rust as shown, especially on the roof and at the cab corners.  Dents in both rear quarter panels; minor dents in lower portion of the doors; no other body damage.  Tail gate, grille, and bumpers are all excellent and without damage.  Truck has never been in any collisions that required replacement of any body panels. 

Excellent condition tool box and bed liner included with auction. 

Truck should not be driven far until oil leak is repaired. 

My very reasonable terms of sale:

$200 deposit due within 48-hours from the end of the auction.  REALLY!! That means you need to be able to transfer $200 into my Paypal account within 2 days from the end of the auction.  If I don't get the $200 deposit, I'll presume you are not serious about the purchase, and I will relist the truck.  Fair??  Balance due in cash at the time the vehicle is picked up.  I would like the truck gone by July 31 -- I am not available 8/1 to assist with the transfer.  Buyer responsible for all fees associated with transfer of truck to the new owner.  If you are a Pennsylvania resident, please ensure you are prepared to transfer the vehicle to your name on the day of purchase. Unless you know someone personally, there are very few title and tag stores open on Sunday in Pennsylvania.  

Please email with any questions.  I have ABSOLUTE NO INTEREST IN ANY TRADES related to the transfer of the truck.  I'm not looking for any other cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, guns, or drugs.  Truck needs to be paid for in CASH.  ABSOLUTELY no personal checks.  If you are interested in buying this vehicle, please ensure you HAVE ALL THE MONEY AVAILABLE before you bid or use buy-it-now.  I'm exceedingly easy to deal with, but one thing that really gets me pissed off is hearing eleventh-hour excuses that revolve around, "I'll have the rest of the money on the second Tuesday of next week after I get paid or win the lottery or get my settlement or sell my other car....etc".   You either have the money or you don't.  PERIOD!!  If necessary, ask your wife, husband, mother or father BEFORE YOU BID.  Also ensure you have a plan for getting the vehicle home.  Whereas I will state the truck will start, stop and drive reasonably short distances, be aware of the SIGNIFICANT oil leak I have noted.  I would not personally drive this truck far until the leak is fixed.

Sold as-is where-is.  No warranty expressed or implied.  Contact me in advance of the end of the auction and you may view and inspect the vehicle.  As the insurance has expired, there will be no test drives. 

Truck is located in Easton, Pennsylvania 18045.  It is approximately 3 miles from the intersection of  Routes 78 and 33.  If you do not know exactly where this is, Google it!!

Please email with questions and thanks for reading everything.  No reserve auction; high bid wins!

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles

Sun, Jan 4 2015

When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.
