Up for auction is my rust-free 1987 Chevrolet Silverado short bed SWB 1500 V10 4X4 1/2 ton pickup in Mint condition with 52,304 actual miles.  I am the third owner.  The second owner is 70+ years old and bought it from his older friend the original owner before he entered the rest home.  The truck looks, runs and drives as new with no known problems as you would expect from a 52K actual mile truck.  The truck has always been well cared for and it shows!  This truck has pretty much every option which was available in 1987.  Silverado trim, four-wheel drive, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering, dual fuel tanks, alloy wheels, engine block heater, sliding rear window etc.

Body:  The truck maintains all of its original body panels which are rust free.  I had a high quality repaint done on the truck right after I purchased it due to rock chips, bare metal on rocker after removing running boards and a poor quality dent repair on the driver's door by the handle to prevent any rust from happening.  The truck had no prior damage or paint work other than the door.  It had completely original paint other than the driver's door prior to the repaint.  The pictures with the running boards were taken the day I bought it with the original paint, so you can see how nice it was to begin with.  All trim, moldings and the bed were removed for the repaint so there is not overspray.  The jambs and bed were not repainted since they were in such nice original condition and I wanted to retain that originality where I could.  There is no variance in paint color either.  The body side moldings and wheel well moldings were replaced with new.  Covering the bed is a Truxedo lo pro tonneau cover which matches the tan on the truck.  It is mounted with clamps so no holes were drilled for installation.  A rubber bed mat is also included to protect the bed floor.

Interior:  The interior is in immaculate original condition including the original floor mats.  The interior is completely original other than the headliner and radio.  I replaced the headliner since it was sagging and the original radio was replaced by the previous owner with a period correct Alpine unit.  Every feature on the truck work including cold A/C, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, stereo radio, all lights and all gauges.

Drivetrain:  The truck maintains it's original drivetrain.  The original 5.7 liter 350 engine runs perfect and smooth with no leaks, oil burning, smoke or noises.  The automatic overdrive 700R4 transmission functions perfectly also.  It has a 3.08 axle ratio so it is a great highway cruiser.  The four-wheel drive functions properly also.    I just had the muffler and catalytic convertor replaced and the truck should pass emissions requirements anywhere since it puts off very little exhaust fumes.  

Wheels and Tires:  The optional wheels are original to the truck.  I had them professionally refinished by a service that dips and removes the clear coat and has the clear re-powder coated.  I had them refinished since the previous owner had used the wrong type of cleaner on them and damaged the clear coat.  They are as close to perfect as you will ever find.  The Good Year Wrangler tires on it have approximately 4,000 miles on them and were installed the day I bought the truck since the ones on it had dry-rott.  

I have driven the truck approximately 4,000 miles in the past year and it performs flawlessly.  I even made a 700 mile one-day trip in it with absolutely no problems or concerns.  It runs and drives as new.  It rides very smooth, is quiet and goes down the road straight.  Everything on the truck works as it should.  We have made several highway trips in it and is very comfortable.  Just get on the highway and set the cruise!  I receive numerous compliments every time I take it out.  This truck would be great to add to any collection or even use as an everyday driver if you choose, since it is very reliable.

Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  I welcome and encourage you to inspect the truck by appointment prior to bidding.  You will be impressed!  Please call with questions or to set-up an appointment to view and test drive.  Mark (913)909-1186 or e-mail through Ebay and I will answer your questions promptly.

Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close and the vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of auction close unless other arrangements are agreed upon between buyer and seller prior to auction close.  A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close by either Paypal or wire transfer.  Payment methods for the truck are:  Wire Transfer (preferred), Cash in Person or Cashier's Check (which must clear prior to vehicle possession).  The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or arrangements.  I will work with your shipper of choice regarding pickup of the vehicle.  The title is clear and in my name with no liens.  I have only seen one truck like this in person which is nicer and it is located at Classic Parts and has less than 100 miles!

2016 Chevy Silverado unveiled in full at Texas State Fair

Thu, Sep 24 2015

It's State Fair time down in the Lonestar State, which means a lot of things to a lot of Texans: rodeos, cook-offs, country music concerts, big belt buckles, and even bigger hats. But it also means new trucks. Ford used the occasion this year to roll out its new F-Series Super Duty pickups, but the Blue Oval won't have the show all to itself as Chevy is also on hand to reveal in full its latest updates to the Silverado. The Bowtie brand gave us our first glimpse at its updated 1500-series pickup back in July, but has now revealed the revised truck in full – and not just in Z71 spec, either. Buyers will be able to choose between WT, LS, LT, LTZ, and High Country trim levels – to say nothing of the various cab, box, and powertrain configurations. The top three get all-LED exterior lighting. And while the Z71 adopts the color-keyed trim we saw previously, other models like the LT, LTZ, and (to a lesser extent) the top-of-the-line High Country still bring the chrome for those who want it. Whichever the model, the new Silverado boasts a more muscular-looking front-end and a more sculpted hood. Inside, the new Silverado gets an optional MyLink system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The revised truck also benefits from added safety technology and convenience features. Engine options include a 4.3-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. The news when it comes to powertrains is that the eight-speed automatic launched last year on the larger V8 is now being offered on the smaller 5.3 as well. 2016 Silverado: The New Face of Strong 2016 Silverado designed to build on Chevrolet's truck momentum 2015-09-24 - Bolder, more muscular look reflects Silverado strength, dependability - Expanded use of 8-speed transmissions; additional safety technologies - Available support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DALLAS – The new 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 brings muscular designs and new customer-focused technologies to the most dependable, longest-lasting family of full-size pickups on the road. The new Silverados make their public debut today at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. "The new 2016 Silverado will build on the Chevy truck legacy of dependability," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevrolet trucks.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.

2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 13 2016

AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
