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.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:
