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

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled
Wed, Feb 11 2015After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept foreshadows an affordable, 200-mile EV future [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Confirming numerous reports and rumors, Chevrolet introduced the Bolt EV Concept, "a vision" of a 200-mile EV with an entry price of around $30,000. Those lofty promises ride atop a funky crossover that made its global debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The orange five door features a spacious greenhouse, complemented by a glass roof and thin D-pillar. A narrow grille and slim LED headlights crown a high fascia that leaves little ahead of its front axle. It's a similar story in back, as General Motors' design boss Ed Welburn sought to limit overhangs and maintain the Bolt's small footprint. "Form and function have never meshed so well together," Welburn said. "No compromises were made when it came to aesthetics and the elements that contribute to the Bolt EV concept's range, resulting in a unique proportion that's sleek, efficient and obviously a Chevrolet." The cabin is not unlike current Chevrolet compacts, with the MyLink touchscreen and a detached instrument cluster dominating the sparse dash. Unlike cars like the Sonic, which features a similar design for its instrument cluster, A Volt-like display is found over the steering column. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," CEO Mary Barra said. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Take a look at both the official gallery of Bolt images, as well as our live shots. And then scroll on down for more comments from GM brass, in the official press release. Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept Signals Brand's EV Strategy Affordable, long-range concept builds on brand's electrification leadership 2015-01-12 DETROIT – Chevrolet today made a significant statement on its commitment to electrification with the introduction of the Bolt EV concept – a vision for an affordable, long-range all-electric vehicle designed to offer more than 200 miles of range starting around $30,000. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Leveraging the electrification prowess established by Volt and Spark EV, the Bolt EV concept is designed to offer long-range performance in all 50 states and many global markets.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
