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. |

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled
Mon, Jan 19 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement
Sun, May 31 2015General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
