Up for Auction is a 1981 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe Pickup in Original Condition. This truck is a daily driver which drives and feels like it's limited low mileage. It is equipped with the original 4.1L Inline 250c.i Chevrolet 6 cylinder engne with a 3 speed column shift manual transmission. The actual mileage on this truck is 70,825 miles, and the truck comes with all shop records, original manuals, and all other dealer documentation. Fuel mileage is around 16/17 city, and 19/22 highway. This truck is titled in the state of Georgia.

When originally purchased in 1981 in Florence Alabama, the dealer installed aftermarket A/C but it has never been converted to R-134. The interior is all original, but the dashboard is in poor shape and it is covered by a dash mat. Tires are in good condition and the drivetrain and suspension is in good to excellent condition. The truck has a very small exhaust leak in the rear of the manifold and the original Delco muffler will need replaced. I have used a JB weld exhaust patch on the muffler to make it quieter, but the muffler will need replacing. 

Despite being originally purchased as a farm truck, this vehicle has had very little hard use through it's life and the truck has very little rust. There are several small rust spots inside the door threshhold (see images), but the body is essentially rust free and has never been damaged in an accident. The bed of the truck has a dealership installed bed liner that has been on it since new. 

This is the sought after short bed body, and the mileage is a true and accurate indication of the way this truck feels and drives going down the road. It is very rare to find a truck that is 33 years old in this type of condition. The only un-original additions to this truck are a CD/FM Radio and door speakers.

If you are looking for a very nice completely original "Box Chevy" truck for restoration or just as a dependable daily driver (as it has been for me), this truck is for you. I have listed this vehicle with a very reasonable reserve price for a quick sale. Truck is also for sale locally so the seller reserves the right to end the auction early (if sold locally.)

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding.

The discerning "car/truck guy " eye will notice the GM mark and the original hose clamp on the top radiator hose. This, unbelievably is the original factory top hose and it is still pliable and in good condition with the original hose clamp. I have replaced the factory installed Delco front disc brake pads with high quality NAPA semi metallic pads.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email. General Motors is recalling 273,182 Buick LaCrosse sedans and Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saab and Isuzu midsize SUVs in the U.S. for possible intermittent or permanent loss of low beam headlamps.

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds

Sun, Dec 28 2014

We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
