1987 Chevrolet Silverado V10 Swb 4x4 Truck 52k Act Miles Rust-free Mint Cond on 2040-cars
Overland Park, Kansas, United States
|
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! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
