Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Overall the car is in great condition. The vehicle underwent a basic restoration in 2010. The following was done to the vehicle: 1. Had SBC 350 rebuilt and bored out .060. 2-step up cam installed during rebuild. 2. New rebuilt 200R4 transmission with appropriate cross member. 3. Edelbrock carb, intake, fuel pump, and water pump installed. 4. New power steering pump, AC, steering gearbox, master cylinder, 5. New brake and fuel lines. 6. Installed like-new complete dash. 7. New carpet and seat covers, interior trim and panels dyed black. 8. New paint and rhino-type liner in bed. 9. Removed bumpers and installed roll pan. 10. Custom tail gate with license plate bracket removed. 11. New cowl front hood. 12. All new bushings, tie rods, u-joints, etc, brakes, etc. 13. New grill and light bezels 14. New weatherstripping for doors and windows 15. Flowmaster Exhaust (I believe Super 40) dumped before rear axle. 16. Rear End from 1985 Monte SS (3.73 I think, non-posi as I was led to believe it was). 17. 205/75R15 Coopers on front, 275/60R15 Tiger Paws on rear. Great Tread. 18. Vintage looking American Racing wheels. 19. Tinted windows (not pictured). I am positive there is more not listed here... In a nutshell, car was stripped down to bare body on frame (frame was never removed although all frame mounts and bushings were replaced). Essentially all components are new or rebuilt, and all suspension parts were either sand blasted and repainted or replaced and painted. There is very little to this car that hasn't been replaced in the engine compartment (radiator, coolant reservoir, washer fluid reservoir, wiper motor....these are original and what I can think of right now). Although this car is in excellent shape, there are a couple items that could be better: 1. Small ding on left rear quarter above wheel well. Hardly noticeable unless you know it is there, 2. Small indention on front right of hood (pushed a little hard in closing it, and in the wrong place) 3. A couple minor chips on front bumper (it has been driven...maybe 200 miles since restoration) 4. A couple interior trim piece are screwed in from outside (couldn't locate clips at the time). 5. Some dings are chrome around bed (have replacement chrome for this for all except tailgate and rear corners that would be included). 6. Seat covers were low quality...can easily be replaced. 7. Transmission fluid cover leaks slightly and occasionally. I am told this is common and that a 700R4 pan would fix. This car runs and rides great...and is definitely loud. And is definitely an attention-getter that only needs a little minor work to make show ready. Thanks for looking and bidding! Please let me know if you have any questions. Payment by bank wire also accepted. THIS CAR IS ALSO BEING SOLD LOCALLY AND THE LISTING COULD BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME. |

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Chevy up to old EVs-equal-range-anxiety tricks in new Volt Olympics ad
Fri, Feb 14 2014General Motors is at it again with a new Chevrolet Volt TV commercial. Viewers of the Winter Olymics (at least in some markets) recently saw a TV ad in between the skating and the skiing that made no mention of the environmental benefits or freedom from the power of Big Oil that electric vehicles provide. No, this one was based on pure survival instinct. In the video, a father is driving down a highway, perhaps through the Mojave Desert. His young son is sitting in the Volt's backseat and asks what happens when the EV's battery runs out. "We'll have to cross that burning desert with snakes and cactus until we make it back to civilization," the dad tells his son as they pass the skeleton of a fallen bull. The fine print makes it clear that the actual maximum range is 342 miles. But there is hope. The father tells his son, with a beaming smile on his face, that the gas generator has kicked in and they're going to make it through the desert. As they wend their way to the horizon, a voice over says that Volt drivers who charge up regularly are making it 900 miles between fill ups. The fine print makes it clear that the actual official maximum range before you need to either plug in or fill up is 342 miles. This theme that emphasized range anxiety has been utilized by GM since the extended range Volt was launched in late 2010, despite the fact that Chevrolet now offers an all-electric vehicle in the Spark EV. Volt fans are praising the commercial, called The New Freedom, on the GM-Volt forum and you can see for yourself below. This content is hosted by a third party.
