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.

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible coming on June 24

Mon, Jun 22 2015

With the new sixth-generation Chevy Camaro now upon us, Chevrolet is gearing up to drop the top on the new 2016 Camaro Convertible, previewed in this latest teaser video. There isn't much to go on from this short clip – the new convertible will feature a fully automated folding roof that will retract at the push of a button. Beyond that, we expect it to carry over the same features as the hardtop version we've already seen. Chevy is due to unveil what it calls "the most innovative Camaro Convertible ever" just a couple of days from now, so watch this space.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
