This is a very nice truck, one of the most honest examples of an original Silverado you will find. It has 34K miles on the odometer which I believe is to be the true reading for this truck. Has a 305 with 700R trans, with dual tank, and long bed

The previous owner bought it from his nephew and was going to install a high performance crate engine and new rear end. But the truck was too nice of a truck for him to modify.  

The owner stated that a new a few maintenance items were done to the truck about 300 miles before selling it to me. A new oil pump, window motors, and vent windows and service to the A/C unit.

 

The good:

The truck has an interior of 8 or 9 based on the age of the truck and it being the original interior, seats are has 2 small cracks about 3 in on the left driver.. see photos.

The headliner looks new, but it is the original

Nothing is broken on this truck

The original radio is in place, no hack job on the dash.

The Dash looks new no dings or scratches

The lights work inside

Power windows  and locks

Door panels are not busted, faded, or cracked

Bed.. looks like Nothing has ever been hauled inside

The drive train is complete, transmission has been serviced and is in top shape with perfect shifts..the car drives like an 80’s Caddy. Under the hood is 100% complete and no alterations which I can see.

Fuel injection units are clean and delivers a nice smooth ride.

Duel tanks, both in stalled but only right side is connected.( the guy cleaned both sides but only installed a new sending unit and pump in the driver’s side after many years of the truck being sitting in a garage without being started) the right side is original.

The car has had a camper on it from the dealership but it was removed and there are a few rusty spots where the mounts were..

There is ZERO rust under the body, quarters, door jams, under the door, floors, cab corners, this truck is amazing.

Original spare tire and jack seems to never been used.

Heater is solid

No known or found leaks

I drive the truck on 5/23/14 from Greenville SC to Fort Benning, GA to see my mother.. the truck seems to get about 17mpg or maybe more 4 hrs one way drive.. stop and go in Atlanta rush hour Friday traffic, no over heating or smoking, no stalls. Avg speed 75mph. straight drive no alignment issues.

This truck does not squeak or rattle or make any noises, 100% solid.

It has the org mats from the factory

The carpet is very good, 2 stains that I am sure I can remove.. maybe soot from boots

 

The Bad:

Body has 1 small dent (see pic) in the rear which could be removed

Radio comes on but no sound

Cruise control is not working, I have not checked the fused yet

Passenger brake light bulb is out, I will replace it Tuesday

Hood is faded

A/C is ice cold.. yes.. sometimes it’s a just a pain to have too much cold air on you. But it has temperature controls to adjust your temp.

 

Happy bidding. I will deliver to you with in  a 200 mile distance, for the cost of fuel and a Chic-Fil-A meal. If you need any more pictures or information let me know. 803-412-5784

May the Lord bless you and the new ower of this fine truck. Happy Bidding.

Cruze Diesel Road Trip reveals the good and bad, but no ugly

Tue, Mar 31 2015

Most of us have strong opinions on diesel-powered cars based on our perceptions of and experience with them. I used to thoroughly dislike oil burners for their noise, smoke and lackluster performance, and the fact that they ran on greasy, smelly stuff that was more expensive than gasoline, could be hard to find and was nasty to get on your hands when refueling. Those negatives, for me, trumped diesel's major positives of big torque for strong acceleration and better fuel economy. Are any of those knocks on diesel still valid today? I'm not talking semis, which continue to annoy me when their operators for some reason almost never shut them down. At any busy truck stop, the air seems always filled with the sound – and sometimes smell – of dozens of big-rig diesels idling endlessly and mindlessly. Or diesel heavy-duty pickups. Those muscular workhorses are far more refined than they once were and burn much less fuel than their gasoline counterparts. But good luck arriving home late at night, or departing early morning, without waking your housemates and neighbors with their clattery racket. No, I'm talking diesel-powered passenger cars, which account for more than half the market in Europe (diesel fuel is cheaper there) yet still barely bump the sales charts in North America. Diesel fuel remains more expensive here, too few stations carry it, and too many Americans remember when diesel cars were noisy, smelly slugs. Also, US emissions requirements make them substantially more expensive to certify, and therefore to buy. But put aside (if you can) higher vehicle purchase and fuel prices, and today's diesel cars can be delightful to drive while delivering much better fuel efficiency than gas-powered versions. So far in the US, all except Chevrolet's compact Cruze Diesel come from German brands, and all are amazingly quiet, visually clean (no smoke) and can be torquey-fun to drive. When a GM Powertrain engineering team set out to modify a tried-and-true GM of Europe turbodiesel four for North American Chevy Cruze compacts, says assistant chief engineer Mike Siegrist, it had a clear target in mind: the Volkswagen Jetta TDI 2.0-liter diesel. And they'll tell you that they beat it in nearly every way. "I believe we have a superior product," he says. "It's powerful, efficient and clean, and it will change perceptions of what a diesel car can be." The 2.0L Cruze turbodiesel pumps out 151 SAE certified horses and 264 pound-feet of torque (at just 2,000 rpm) vs.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Driving Granatelli's turbine-powered 1978 Chevy Corvette [w/video]

Thu, Jan 8 2015

With its curvy snout and feminine haunches, the third-gen Chevrolet Corvette looks like a dreamy – if dated – exemplar of Sports Car Fantasy 101 when viewed through modern eyes. This particular specimen circa '78, clad in silver and black paint with red pinstripes, appears to be a well-preserved example from the era. Apart from its low-profile Pirellis, slightly raised and slotted hood, spacious stance and a certain hand-painted descriptor alongside its crossed flag logos, you'd never guess there's a Space-Age propulsion unit powering this Coke bottle-bodied ride. Climb inside, and you're presented with aircraft gauges and big, colorful square buttons in the center panel. It takes a push of the "Ignitor" button, a tap of the starter button, and a slide of a T-handle for this nearly 40-year-old sports car to start sounding like Gulfstream G650 ready for takeoff. Yep, you're sitting in an 880-horsepower, turbine-powered Corvette, the only one of its kind in the world. Welcome to the whoosh. What The...? Built by Vince Granatelli, son of Indy 500 guru Andy Granatelli, this curious Corvette came into being by cramming a Pratt & Whitney ST6N-74 gas turbine engine into the donor car's lengthy front end. The same type of Jet A-burning mill powered Granatelli Senior's STP-sponsored racecar at the 1967 Indianapolis 500, where it famously led most of the 198 of 200 laps until a $6 transmission bearing failed, knocking it out of the race. The idea of turbine power usurping internal combustion was so threatening that Indy's governing body restricted turbine performance into obsolescence thereafter. A turbine-powered Corvette sounds excessive because it is. But there are also things about this 880-horsepower, 1,161-pound-feet monster that might surprise you. While it smacks of futurist exoticism and cost a then-dizzying $37,000 in 1967, the Canadian-built powerplant uses 80 percent fewer parts than an internal combustion V8 and will run on virtually anything combustible – whiskey, diesel, even Chanel No. 5. Though it's triple the length of a V8, the Pratt & Whitney beast weighs only 285 pounds. It's also one hell of a robust workhorse, typically serving as an auxiliary power unit for commercial aircraft or a generator in oil fields, where it can run for tens of thousands of consecutive hours before needing an overhaul. To adapt the Chevrolet for jet duty, the nose section was gutted and a sub-frame was built to compensate for the loosey-goosey front end.
