It’s with a heavy heart that I’m offering this truck up for sale. I understand that to many, it’s just a truck. Something used for hauling truck stuff, but to me, it’s more than that. It’s a time machine to my childhood. I’ve grown up with this truck. As a child, I climbed in the bed, rode in the passenger’s seat, and sat on the tailgate. It's been owned by my grandparents since new, and thus, it’s been a big part of my life. My grandparents, who are the original owners of the truck, have finally reached a point where they don’t need it any longer, and thus, my childhood dream of owning this blue beauty has become reality. It's finally mine. Unfortunately, at this point in my life, I have neither the space nor the resources to give it a proper home, and as much as I love to fantasize about future plans for this sentimental piece of metal, it just isn’t economically feasible for me to keep it.

All sentimental value aside, this really isn’t your average 100K mi+ American hauler that’s been owned by several careless owners. It hasn't been ridden hard, put it away filthy, and left it to rot. No sir (or ma’am). This particular example, while not in impeccable showroom shape, is in incredible condition for being a truck that just celebrated it’s 30th birthday. In the eyes of the state of New Jersey, it qualifies as a classic. And the mileage? Equally as impressive. Only 53,540 miles grace the odometer on this fine piece of American iron.

Why the low mileage? Well, this truck has never been daily driven. It was special ordered in 1982 for the primary purpose of towing a horse trailer back and forth to the trainer and the race track. Aside from hauling race horses; It has been used for truck stuff. The bed has hauled new furniture, old furniture, lawn and garden supplies and equipment, construction supplies, and even groceries. So, it’s been used regularly, but never abused, and it’s always been parked out of the elements in the same covered pole barn for the past 30 years.

Cosmetically, the truck has great curb appeal, with the midnight blue paint being in excellent shape for it’s age, with only a few minor scuffs here and there, but nothing major. There is one piece of trim missing in the photos, it just needs to be reattached with double-sided tape. It’s never been in an accident, and it’s never had any paintwork done. There’s no rust on the body, and only surface rust on the frame. Inside, the headliner fabric will need to be reattached, as it’s sagging, but otherwise the interior is in phenomenal shape. The original color-matched vinyl floor mats are in great shape, and the seats and dash have no cracks. All gauges are operational, and the AC Delco AM/FM stereo works without a hitch.

It’s been well maintained and taken care of over the years, and all service records will come with the truck, along with the owners manual, options spec sheet, and original keys. The truck does start, run, and drive, however, in June of 2013, the tags were removed and the truck has been covered up and parked in the barn since. It’s been kept on a battery tender, and also been started and pulled out periodically to keep the fluids circulating. The tires are nearly brand new, and the while the brakes are in unknown condition, they are more than capable of stopping the truck safely and without drama.

That being said, this truck deserves to be more than someone’s rusty old scrap hauler, or a derelict farm beater. It’s a clean truck with a clean history, and I’d really like to see it go to a good home with an owner that cares. Somewhere out there, there’s someone who has a soft spot for the old GM pickups, much like myself, and this would make the perfect candidate for a light restoration or reconditioning, or whatever else might be in mind.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I’ll do my best to answer them to the best of my ability as quickly as I can.

This is an as-is sale. No refunds, returns, or exchances will be accepted. Buyer assumes all responsibility for local pick-up or transport.

On Nov-27-13 at 15:07:23 PST, seller added the following information:

I wanted to add some information that I missed putting into the original description, but cannot add due to the description being locked in.

The drivetrain is 100% original to the truck; it's never been pulled, swapped, or needed any major repairs.

It runs smooth, but is likely in need of a tune-up given the age. The oil was changed every year or 3,000 miles.

There are a couple minor oil leaks, but that's to be expected with a vehicle of this vintage.

The transmission shifts smooth and the gear indicator displays accurately.

All gauges, lights, indicators, and warning lights work.

Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for viewing!

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best

Tue, May 3 2016

Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh Â– but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS Â– finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS Â– the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.
