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. Equipment list and description: 1983 Chevrolet C20 Pick-up - Silverado Trim Build completed January 24, 1983 in Oshawa, Canada Midnight blue two-tone, with white roof, Blue vinyl interior 5.7L/350 c.i. carburated V8 (160 HP/250 TQ) THM350 3-speed automatic transmission 8600 GVWR tow rating / 131” wheelbase Options: Trailering Special Package (power steering, oil cooler, transmission cooler, 7-pin trailer harness, trailer hitch receiver, 63 Amp HD alternator) Dual fuel tanks (40 gallon capacity) Sliding rear window AC Delco AM/FM Stereo Intermittent Wipers Roof marker lights Floormats 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! |

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
