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. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
