1987 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4x4 Pickup. Original truck with only 47k actual miles. Original 350 fuel injected motor with automatic overdrive transmission. Factory A/C that has been converted over to R134 with new compressor and lines (VERY COLD). Everything works as it should and nothing has been modified except the exhaust is not original. Even the factory AM/FM radio is still present. Factory manuals included and the truck still has the original dealer license tag on the front bumper where the truck was first purchased.
Here is the story I was told about the truck when I purchased the truck from the second owners daughter. The truck was originally purchased in Pikeville, TN from a Chevrolet Dealer in 87 brand new. The owner purchased the truck for himself as a retirement gift to himself. He was only able to enjoy the truck for around 3 years when he passed away in which the owners wife placed the truck in a barn where it was mainly kept until the second owner bought the truck in 2005. The truck had some work done to get it back on the road (brakes and fuel system). It was also clear coated over the original paint to protect it. The camper top has been on the truck since new I was told. I bought the truck from the second owners daughter who placed the truck for sale because her parents were older and her mother was having trouble getting in and out of the truck due to the height. I bought the truck and repaired some minor rust that was behind the rear wheels on the bedside. The old was cut out and new metal installed and then the bedsides were repainted and blended with the original paint code. You can not tell a difference where the repairs were, the paint was blended perfect. I also installed new shocks from LMC Truck Parts. The truck runs and drives just as you would expect from a vehicle with only 47k miles on it. AC is very cold and everything works on the truck. The tires are matching and in very nice shape with plenty of tread. The bed on the truck is in great shape due to the camper top being on it since new and the bed mat. The only things worth mentioning on the truck is there is some slight hail dings on the hood and the roof. In the sun this is hard to see and it was difficult to even show up in the photos. I didn't notice it myself until I brought the truck home after buying. The truck will puff out smoke when it is first started after sitting, but it does not smoke any other time. I believe this is from where the truck sat for so long from 1990 to 2005 and the valve seals let a little oil by. Again, this is only when the truck first fires up after sitting. I have not noticed any oil usage and no smoke any other time. There is some surface rust on the drivers side rocker, but only surface rust. I have some leftover red paint in the correct color code if the new owner wanted to get this repainted. There is also some rust on the inner fenders as seen in the pictures. Also, there is a slight separation on the drivers seat upholstery. This may be something that can be repaired. These are the only issues with the truck. The drivetrain is clean underneath and the truck is a pleasure to drive. The paint is in beautiful condition and other than some small dings from normal use there is nothing to detract from the trucks looks. There is an original smog pump and hoses on the truck, but the pump does not have the belt attached to it. I am not sure if it works if it were hooked up. The truck runs perfect without it, but I wanted to let it be mentioned if the next owner has to have it hooked up. They do not makes trucks like this anymore and this is less expensive than buying a new one. |

GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales
Tue, Apr 3 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US
Hillary Clinton takes to campaign trail in a van called Scooby
Wed, Apr 15 2015It still seems way too early to even starting thinking about the 2016 presidential election, but candidates are already throwing their hats in the ring. Among the officially announced hopefuls so far is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. To kick off her run for office, she recently embarked on a long-distance road trip from her home in New York to the campaign battleground of Iowa. Rather than a limo, she was driven there in a conversion van (pictured above) that Clinton named Scooby after Hanna-Barbera's famous, mystery-solving dog. According to Yahoo Autos, the vehicle itself is a Chevrolet Express that has been customized by the Explorer Van Company, and Time says that it's also armored. Clinton isn't behind the wheel, though. All those years in public office mean that the Secret Service does the driving. Of course, the vehicle in Scooby Doo was named the Mystery Machine, and Scooby was mostly brown, not black. To explain the somewhat odd naming, Clinton traveled around in a brown van during her 2000 Senate campaign in New York, and it earned the nickname Scooby, according to Time. Apparently, the moniker has stuck for her latest ride. If the start of the Clinton campaign seems early, she isn't the first White House hopeful to arrive in Iowa this year. A bunch of possible Republican candidates already met at summits in the state at least twice to gain favor ahead of the caucus there. No word on what they were driving...
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
