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! |

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Chevy to offer new Cruze as a hatchback in the US
Mon, Jun 22 2015Chevrolet plans to offer a five-door hatchback version of the new Cruze in the United States, according to the latest intel from Automotive News. In addition to the sedan form we're familiar with, the outgoing Cruze was offered as a hatchback in some markets overseas, but not in America – a decision which Mark Reuss, GM's EVP in charge of product development, characterized as "a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake." The new Chevy Cruze is set to debut later this week. Although the American automaker has yet to confirm which bodystyles will be offered where, AN reports that a five-door model was already shown to dealers at their national meeting in Las Vegas last week. AN points out that the Ford Focus with which the new Cruze will be contending is offered as both a sedan and hatchback in America, with the latter accounting for some 40 percent of sales.
