I purchased this vehicle from a friend who purchased it new back in November 1979 out of Freemont California. It was a special order 1 ton 4x4 with factory a/c and took 8 months for delivery. The compressor is out of the a/c and it was not cost effective for me to replace.
The truck runs and drives like new. It has an 8,000 lb winder winch installed under the bumper, a roll bar and tool box all installed by the original owner. It also has a factory 8 track stereo and CB as well (true 80s) The owner put 35 inch BF Goodrich all terrain tires on that are in new condition.
The vehicle has had the fenders slightly clipped to handle the 35 inch tires in front as well as a few small scratches and small dings on the side molding. The interior is in exceptional condition with the exception to some sun damage on the top of door panels and one very small separation on the drivers side seam in the seat. The cover was installed when the vehicle was new but through the years there is that very small separation.
In the early 1980s Exxon mobile had a refinery explosion that created some paint damage on vehicles in the area. This truck was one that was exposed and Exxon had repainted. The truck has never been wrecked but did receive new paint job.
I purchased the truck to use as a work vehicle but decided it was to nice and rare to be beat up in the field. Hence the ebay ad for someone who has special ties to this kind of vehicle and can appreciate it's rare low miles.
Whoever purchases this vehicle can have access to the original owners contact information for any additional questions, I just don't want to bombard him with strangers calls. I do have the original bill of sale, owners manual and original plates. The vehicle has been in Bend Oregon where I reside since the early 90s. Most of the miles were put on in the 80s and the truck was garaged but never past the driveway for almost 10 years. I took the truck to the dealership to have it inspected and they were quite impressed with no mechanical recommendations. The bid for replacing the a/c was almost $1,000.00. (No Thanks)
I have tried to be as honest as possible because this is the first vehicle I have listed on Ebay and want to have a smooth transition. You can call me with any additional questions at 541 408-4088

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks
Tue, May 26 2015General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
