1979 Chevy, Chevrolet, Luv Pickup In Excellent Condition With Low Miles on 2040-cars
Winona, Minnesota, United States
|
I have for sale an unmodified and un-restored 1979 Chevy LUV
pickup with 41XXX miles. It is in amazing and unbelievable condition,
particularly so when considering that it is a totally rust-free vehicle from
Minnesota. The body is nearly perfect with no damage and only superficial
storage blemishes to the non-original but OEM color paint. The cab and box
interiors, under hood and under truck are factory original paint and there is
no evidence of repair other than freshening the paint, which was done prior to
10/2008. The truck was also rust proofed, (Ziebart) by the original owner. The
appearance of the protectant looks newly applied even though it is 35 years old
and is apparent in photos of the engine compartment. The mechanicals look
nearly showroom fresh. The original paint application in the engine compartment
and underbody is still beautiful as are the appearance of the aluminum and electroplated
parts and accessories. Photos of the rear brakes clearly show the marvelous
condition of the original assemblies. Even the bias ply tires are in super condition!
The truck runs and drives wonderfully. It does
have power steering, power brakes and an automatic transmission but it is
otherwise a very basic vehicle. There is no AC, power locks, cruise or ANY
sound system. You can see in the photos the radio delete dash and the antennae
plug in the passenger front fender. But, it is unmolested and is ready for any
changes you may see fit to install. There are several things that I did
to prepare this uncommon classic for sale. It’s had a full tune-up and all
points lube. All fluids are fresh within less than 100 miles. The rear axle got
a new pinion seal with Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube. The three-speed automatic
transmission got a new filter and fluid flush with standard Dexron ATF. The
sweet running 1.8L four cylinder has also has a new filter and Mobil 10W-40
oil. The cooling system was flushed and has new 50/50 mix Peak coolant. The
rear bumper was sandblasted and powder coated. The original interior vinyl trim
was replaced with quality custom fabric and trim. There are several items to mention. The front bumper has dent right above the license plate and the opening to the driver side of the plate has been distorted. These areas can be viewed in my photos. Also, the recoil mechanism for the driver side seatbelt is broken. I have been looking for a replacement but I have not been able to find the correct color yet. Finally there is also a crack in the dash pad. Additional photos can be found on my photobucket album. Please contact me for the link I feel it’s important to sell a
quality product as I feel it is a representation of me personally so I took the
truck to a local auto dealership for inspection. The possible weeping coolant
and fuel lines will be addressed very quickly. The inspection was eagerly done
at No Charge because NO ONE at the dealership had ever seen a LUV this nice! I
have not asked the dealer for reference but my service advisor for Dahl
Automotive in Winona, MN, 507/452-4080 was Toby Thompson. He seemed very
enthusiastic to bring in the vehicle and may be receptive to inquiries. On Mar-28-14 at 04:15:43 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple things I forgot. I installed new muffler and tailpipe. Also, I was going to post the reports from Dahl Automotive but I posted too many pics and apparently I can't switch them now. If you want to see them contact me and I'll email copies. The only points noted were weeping from upper radiator hose and similar weeping where a rubber fuel line connects at the fuel pump. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
