Up for Auction:  1984 Chevrolet Suburban, Silverado Package with a 6.2L diesel engine and only 59,500 original miles.

This truck does NOT have four wheel drive (4x4) or air conditioning.  This is a rear wheel drive truck with slip differential and a tow package.  Please read this listing thoroughly. 

Great condition for a 30 (almost) year old truck.  This was my daily driver till I recently changed jobs.  Solid, dependable, cool looking truck, that is huge and can haul your family or your gear.  Plus it is a diesel, so it gets decent mileage considering the size/weight of it.  I bought this off of the original owners (garaged its whole life), who apparently did not leave their town that often.  It required some work initially, replaced some original components/parts, to enure it could be my daily.  I have driven this from Boston to Ohio and back, sat in August bumper to bumper traffic, and started it in February (plugged in) and never had an issue.  It is a solid ride, not a show car, but a cool, reliable truck that gets many looks or people coming up to you to say that they used to have one. 

New parts and or work done since I purchased it.
-New radiator
-New upper and lower hoses
-New fuel filter
-2 new batteries
-New halogen headlights
-New blue carpet floor mats
-8 new glow plugs
-New glow plug relay
-New glow plug solenoid
-New master cylinder and brake lines bled
-New windshield wiper blades
-New/Rebuilt diesel injection pump
-New oil filter with oil change
-New Chevy road mudflaps
-4 New Kelly Safari Truck Tires
-New Chevy mudflaps
-New Front Bench Seat Cover
-Previous owner replaced entire exhaust system less than 8 years ago, solid.

Full Disclosure
1.  The headliner is sagging. I have held it up with strips of Formica.
2.  The radio cuts out sometimes, must be an electrical connection.  A slap on the dash gets it started again.
3.  Driver side rear panel has two paint discolorations in the silver/grey area. About 3" diameter each. Not sure why this is.  They have been touched up with grey paint.
4.  Driver side also has a scratch in the silver/grey paint area. About 2' long.  Touched up with grey paint.
5.  Overall the rust is minor for a truck of this vintage, and spending its whole life in New England.  Previous owners had a Rusty Jones undercoating applied when purchased, which is why it has held up this well.  No structural rust (frame, body, and mounts are solid), just mostly surface rust if there is any.  Except for passenger side wheel well there was a 2" hole, was treated and covered with a stainless steel patch.  Also the bottom edge of the 3 out of the 4 doors, only on the interior face (where it is compressed against the gasket when the doors are closed) had some bubbling and splitting due to rust.  I cleaned this out, treated with Rust Bullet and painted with blue body paint. 
6.  Due to the age of the truck, fluids need to be added occasionally, I keep an eye on the levels.  But that is too be expected.  The transmission has a minor leak our of the rear seal, where it meets the drive shaft coupling.  Has not affected the operation of the truck, shifts smoothly and appropriately.
7.  This is a 30 year old truck.  It is not new, it is not perfect, it is not a show truck.  But it is a solid, cool, workhorse that's in really good condition and can be your daily driver if you are kind and take care of it.   

I repeat this truck does not have 4x4 or Air conditioning.

The only reason I am auctioning this truck is because I took a new job 6 months ago which requires me driving 500+ miles a week and head into Boston quite frequently. Needless to say this is not the truck for easy city parking.  Please send along questions if you have any.

This truck is being sold as is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied.   I reserve the right to end this auction at my discretion.  Pick up and/or delivery arrangements are the full responsibility of the winning bidder.

Happy Bidding.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
