Letting my factory 1970 Chevrolet 3/4 ton K20 4x4 go. Factory V8/4 Speed truck. I've had the truck about a year and it is in mostly original condition. Never lifted or modified. Just a nice old solid 4x4 and they are getting harder to find. Looking to make room for a new project and pay some bills. That being said I may entertain a trade.

Paint/Body- 100% rust free. Truck is extremely solid for a 69-72. Roof and rain gutters are excellent. Floors, cab corners and kick panels are solid. Cowl area is clean. Bed floor and front panel are straight and rust free. I have looked for bubbles, rust or heavy bondo and have not found any. Truck has had the rockers and two of the cab supports replaced in the past. Paint is nice and body is very straight. Has two small dings by the cab light. Bed is coated with a rhino liner but, is damaged in some areas and inner wheel well have some dents. Glass is all good except the windshield. Glass company cracked it during install. Firewall and interior retain original paint and chalk markings. The weatherstripping in the door jambs and window felts are all new. New door handles, bumper, tailgate trim, tail lamp lenses, NOS grille inner and outer. Tailgate is mint. No dents or rust.

Suspension/Wheels/Tires-Truck has very rare 16.5x8.75 wheels. It took me forever to find these and they look absolutely killer. They were painted the same white as the cab top and rear bumper. Has very nice Cooper 33x12.50's mounted on them. I have the factory rear caps installed and may have the fronts by end of auction. Truck has front power disc brakes and power steering. New warn locking hubs. 4.10 axles. Absolute stump puller. Frame was coated with POR15 and underside of bed was coated with bedliner. Overall the underside is pretty clean. The rear leafs have helper springs installed and the truck has a very stout stance. Drives down the road like an old 4x4. Has a little play in the steering but, I've driven much newer trucks that have the same play.

Engine/Transmission-Truck has a V8 engine out of an 80's Van. Runs strong. Edelbrock intake and carb. Rams horn exhaust manifolds. High energy ignition. New starter, battery, battery cables. SM465 4 speed transmission. NP205 transfer case is gear driven not chain. Sounds good but, if I were to keep it I would change the exhaust out for something quieter and ran all the way out the back.

Interior-Not much to say here. Original paint on the inside of the cab. The inside of the doors have been resprayed and look good. Rubber mat does not fit well and I would replace with a better one if I were to keep it. Dash pad and sun visors are excellent. New dash bezel and lense, new shift boots, brake pedal covers, white arm rest, radio delete plate. Seat has been recovered with a factory houndstooth cover and new foam. The dash lights work but, most of the factory gauges still need to be hooked up.

Overall a nice solid 3/4 ton K20. These are hard to find in any condition and this one has a great look with the color combo. Willing to look at trades and I will assist in shipping this truck anywhere. Clear title in my name. $500 deposit required within 24 hours. Full payment within 5 days. Can store the truck as long as it is paid for. Sold as is where is.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy Â— will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera Â— and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
