Up for Auction:  1984 Chevrolet Suburban, Silverado Package with a 6.2L diesel engine and only 59,500 original miles.

This truck does NOT have four wheel drive (4x4) or air conditioning.  This is a rear wheel drive truck with slip differential and a tow package.  Please read this listing thoroughly. 

Great condition for a 30 (almost) year old truck.  This was my daily driver till I recently changed jobs.  Solid, dependable, cool looking truck, that is huge and can haul your family or your gear.  Plus it is a diesel, so it gets decent mileage considering the size/weight of it.  I bought this off of the original owners (garaged its whole life), who apparently did not leave their town that often.  It required some work initially, replaced some original components/parts, to enure it could be my daily.  I have driven this from Boston to Ohio and back, sat in August bumper to bumper traffic, and started it in February (plugged in) and never had an issue.  It is a solid ride, not a show car, but a cool, reliable truck that gets many looks or people coming up to you to say that they used to have one. 

New parts and or work done since I purchased it.
-New radiator
-New upper and lower hoses
-New fuel filter
-2 new batteries
-New halogen headlights
-New blue carpet floor mats
-8 new glow plugs
-New glow plug relay
-New glow plug solenoid
-New master cylinder and brake lines bled
-New windshield wiper blades
-New/Rebuilt diesel injection pump
-New oil filter with oil change
-New Chevy road mudflaps
-4 New Kelly Safari Truck Tires
-New Chevy mudflaps
-New Front Bench Seat Cover
-Previous owner replaced entire exhaust system less than 8 years ago, solid.

Full Disclosure
1.  The headliner is sagging. I have held it up with strips of Formica.
2.  The radio cuts out sometimes, must be an electrical connection.  A slap on the dash gets it started again.
3.  Driver side rear panel has two paint discolorations in the silver/grey area. About 3" diameter each. Not sure why this is.  They have been touched up with grey paint.
4.  Driver side also has a scratch in the silver/grey paint area. About 2' long.  Touched up with grey paint.
5.  Overall the rust is minor for a truck of this vintage, and spending its whole life in New England.  Previous owners had a Rusty Jones undercoating applied when purchased, which is why it has held up this well.  No structural rust (frame, body, and mounts are solid), just mostly surface rust if there is any.  Except for passenger side wheel well there was a 2" hole, was treated and covered with a stainless steel patch.  Also the bottom edge of the 3 out of the 4 doors, only on the interior face (where it is compressed against the gasket when the doors are closed) had some bubbling and splitting due to rust.  I cleaned this out, treated with Rust Bullet and painted with blue body paint. 
6.  Due to the age of the truck, fluids need to be added occasionally, I keep an eye on the levels.  But that is too be expected.  The transmission has a minor leak our of the rear seal, where it meets the drive shaft coupling.  Has not affected the operation of the truck, shifts smoothly and appropriately.
7.  This is a 30 year old truck.  It is not new, it is not perfect, it is not a show truck.  But it is a solid, cool, workhorse that's in really good condition and can be your daily driver if you are kind and take care of it.   

I repeat this truck does not have 4x4 or Air conditioning.

The only reason I am auctioning this truck is because I took a new job 6 months ago which requires me driving 500+ miles a week and head into Boston quite frequently. Needless to say this is not the truck for easy city parking.  Please send along questions if you have any.

This truck is being sold as is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied.   I reserve the right to end this auction at my discretion.  Pick up and/or delivery arrangements are the full responsibility of the winning bidder.

Happy Bidding.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
