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!

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
