Fantastic in every way, my 1972 Chevy is sure to delights it's next owner. This truck looks fantastic, drives beautifully, and sounds incredible. It has approximately 2,000 miles on it since a complete overhaul and engine rebuild, including transmission and four wheel drive transfer case. The odometer reads 7,800 or so, but I don't know the exact original mileage. Neither does the previous owner but based on its condition, we don't feel this is a very high mileage truck. I honestly don't believe it only has 7,800 miles on it. Great looking paint (less than two years old) and tons of new chrome. Very very straight and very very solid and clean, including underneath. The truck has been lifted, and sports Goodrich 33's on chrome rims. Ceramic headers and dual Flowmasters give the truck an incredible throaty sound to the original 350 V8 that was completely rebuilt. This truck will go down the highway at 75 with ease. A real head turner and still a daily driver if you want it to be. I live five miles from work and drive it work most days during the summer. I have my eye on something else so this one must go. She is not a trailer queen, and has a few minor blemishes, but overall an excellent looking truck and a reliable vehicle. Everything looks and works true to the original chevy specs. This is one beautiful machine.
Now the cons; the horn isn't wired. It's there and works but it's not wired. There's a couple of minor paint scratches, nothing you can see from a few feet but she does have a couple of nicks. Absolutely nothing significant that can't be easily touched up. The paint around the antenna has minor cracks, and a tiny bit of overspray on the rubber in one or two spots. The steering wheel is an original reproduction. The bed has a few dings and marks, again nothing significant. I installed a set of chrome door sills that need to come off again and get shaved down a few mills. I left them on but they make the doors a little harder to close. The rims have a little glazing here and there. They still look great, but they are showing signs of wear. I've never tried anything to clean them up as I think they're fine, but there's lots of options on the market for getting these back to new condition. Overall this is a sweet machine. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and get compliments on it everywhere I take it. Show it on a Saturday night and then taker her four-wheeling on Sunday. This is an incredibly fun truck to drive, to show, and to own. As an avid antique car/truck collector, I've noticed these trucks are appreciating nicely too. $1,000 deposit via paypal at close of auction, 72 hours to complete sale after that. Will assist in loading to transporter if necessary. Please feel free to call me with any questions, or simply email me and I'll reply with hours. Thanks for looking. Keep on truckin' |

GM Recalls 218,000 Chevy Aveo Models Over Fire-Prone Lighting
Wed, May 21 2014The recall train keeps on rolling for General Motors. Hot on the heels of its recent 2.4 million-vehicle recall of various models, it's now calling in 218,000 Chevrolet Aveo units from the 2004-2008 model years because they could catch fire. The problem concerns the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. It could overheat, melt and cause a fire. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, "We are aware of some fires," and the company "is still investigating." Adler wouldn't comment about how many fires were reported or when the automaker was first aware of this issue because of the ongoing analysis. However, he said the issue has not caused any injuries or fatalities. GM also doesn't have a fix for the problem with the DRL module yet. The company says in its recall statement to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the remedy "is still under development." Adler wasn't sure when it would be ready, but he said Aveo owners would receive notification in the mail "relatively soon." They will receive a second letter later to schedule the repair. In a separate letter about the Aveo's problem to NHTSA (viewable here as a PDF), GM said its Executive Field Action Decision Committee decided to conduct the recall on May 16. Scroll down for the recall report. RECALL Subject : Daytime Running Light Module Overheating Report Receipt Date: MAY 19, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V261000 Component(s): Potential Number of Units Affected: 218,000 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL). In the affected vehicles, there may be heat generated within the DRL module located in the center console in the instrument panel, which could melt the DRL module. CONSEQUENCE: If the DRL module melts due to the heat generation, it could cause a vehicle fire. REMEDY: The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). General Motors recall number for this campaign is 14236. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
