1995 Chevrolet K3500 Silverado Crew Cab Extended Cab Pickup 4-door 6.5l Custom on 2040-cars
Brackney, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for auction is a 1 of a kind 95 Chevy truck. As you see in the pictures, it is a lot of truck. This thing turns heads everywhere you take it. I am selling it only because I need the cash more than the truck. I do drive it some but not every day. I have owned it for about 2 years and have had no issues other than the batteries went bad and I had to install new ones. The good: Its a 1 ton dually. The front half is a 95 crew cab and the back half is a 95 extended cab. There is only 1 splice in the frame under the rear doors (as seen in the pictures). The cab was spliced in the center of the rear doors. There is a 79 Ford 1 ton straight axle in the front. It has a 6.5L Chevy diesel with larger injectors, a larger turbo, and an aftermarket intercooler. It runs well with good power considering the size. There are 4.88 gears in the axles to compensate for the larger tires. The speedometer is within 1 MPH with no compensator so that tells me the gear/tire combo is very near what stock was. It has custom 19.5 rims that bolt to the stock 8 lug axles. I cannot remember the tire size but they measure about 37" tall. The tires have about 70,000 miles on them and are about 70% tread. There are bucket seats in the front with a console out of an Escalade. The steering wheel is also from an Escalade. There is a wood grain dash accent kit. There are 3 aftermarket gauges on the A piller (Boost, Fuel pressure, and Pyrometer). There is a radio with a small TV screen on it, it plays CD's and DVD's. There is a TV screen where the passenger airbag should be and also 2 TV's on the ceiling just behind the driver and front passenger head rests. The truck has a class 5 hitch and a 7way plug. There is no brake controller in the cab. I never installed one because I never hauled more than a boat or small trailer. The running boards are 1 piece custom built Stainless Steel from a commercial kitchen builder. The bed and cap are lined with grey carpet (Bedrug). It has a 6" custom exhaust. I did not build this truck but I bought it from the fella that did build it and he went to great pains to make it right in every way. In my opinion he did a great job and I think anyone that may buy it will think the same. There are pictures with and without the cap. The cap goes with the truck, the bed cover does not. The bad: I try to be honest with my listings so not to surprise the buyer after they own it. I can only list the problems I am aware of, therefore I need to say this truck is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS. It has a 6" long scratch in the front center of the hood, the center KC lite on the front bumper is not wired, The paint is not perfect (there are little scratches here and there but nothing major), this paint job is 9 years old, there is some damage to the fiberglass fender on the left dual (I hit a deer and it cracked just below the yellow marker light, it's not real noticeable but it is cracked). The right rear power door lock will lock with the button but will not unlock. Due to the fact it is a lifted 1 ton with 16 ply tires, it rides like truck. This ain't no Cadillac. I thought about going back to a 16" rim to get some lighter ply tires for better ride but haven't gotten around to it. Other than that, I can't think of any other issues. This truck is ready to go anywhere and I have a clear Pennsylvania title in hand. Payment terms: There is $500.00 deposit thru Paypal due within 48 hours of auction close (if the deposit is not received I will cancel the transaction). The balance of the payment is due on or before the date of pickup via Paypal or CASH in person. No checks will be accepted. Shipping: Pickup or delivery is the sole responsibility of the buyer. The truck must be paid for and picked up within 14 days of auction close. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I have the truck for sale locally. Please read my description, payment terms, and shipping terms completely before bidding. If you have ANY questions, please ask them to me before bidding. I hate to have to deal with someone who is unresponsive or doesn't want the truck after they won the auction. Think it thru BEFORE you bid, please. Thank you for looking and email me with any questions. The starting bid is large but remember, this is a 1 of a kind, dependable, head turner. |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con
Tue, Jul 22 2014When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
