1986 Chevrolet K20 Suburban

Up for auction is our 1986 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban.   This is a very well maintained vehicle with seating for 8 passengers.  The interior is in fantastic shape for a 28 year old truck.  All interior and exterior lights and gauges work perfectly (even the analog dash clock).  It has 3 rows of seats, all are without stains or tears.  The carpet is also in wonderful condition showing minor fading but no stains, tears or holes.  The dash pad has two thin cracks, one above the speedometer and one in the speaker opening.  All of the power windows function properly and smoothly.  The rear windows from the driver’s row back have been professionally tinted. Overall, the interior is nicer than most 2 year old vehicles you see listed on eBay.

The Suburban has 99,987 original miles on its  350 V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission.  This was the last year for a factory carburetor and no emission controls in 3/4 ton and up trucks; which means it has a factory dual exhaust without catalytic converters.  The Suburban  features a factory towing package and 40 gallon gas tank.  Factory luggage rack.  Front and rear air and heat (air conditioner compressor functions properly  but needs recharged).  The four-wheel drive works flawlessly both in high and low range.  Recent upgrades include:

·         New headliner

·         New tires with less than 3,000 miles

·         Upgraded to dual master cylinder

·         New windshield

·         Rebuilt front end

·         CD/mp3 compatible stereo

The Suburban body is in good shape for the year and this particular body style. The two-tone blue and silver paint shines nicely and presents very well.   The red pinstripes are straight and un-cracked.   There are a few spots where the paint is starting to bubble over the driver’s side front and rear wheel well arches.  Also the paint is starting to separate from the body behind the rear wheel wells just above tail pipes.  Just under the driver’s side long rear window there is a small rust spot starting.  Inside both front fender wells there is a small hole in the factory under-coating.  Behind that you can see factory blue painted metal.   If you are familiar with this body style suburban, these are all the typical problem spots; however none of the areas are very advanced and all-in-all it is in great shape.  There is an un-creased dent on the driver’s front door where the towing mirror mount meets the door.  It could be easily popped out by simply removing the interior door panel and pushing it out.  All of these issues are featured in the photo section.  I have listed all of the “problems” I can think of.

This suburban is very mechanically sound.  It starts every time and runs down the road straight and true.  Drive it anywhere in comfort and style.  It will make someone a great family truck, camping vehicle, work horse, first car……?  Try to find another 3/4 ton 4x4, this well maintained for such a low price.  We are selling it simply because we have run out of garage space and have two other Suburbans.  Located  in central Illinois, feel free to come and take a look if you are in the area.  Email, call or text (Six 1 eight) three 67 two eight 6 three with any questions.

Chevy Sail 3 lands in China

Sun, Nov 23 2014

Shanghai General Motors took 32 cars to this year's Guangzhou Motor Show, with its Chevrolet Sail 3 leading the way. After putting almost 1.4 million of them into Chinese hands, the third generation of the Bowtie's entry-level sedan wants to "take the nameplate and the segment to a new level." Its new architecture sporting a 1.4-inch longer wheelbase supports a growth spurt of two inches in length and 1.8 inches in width. The exterior also gets "eagle eye-shaped" headlights and "dual-c-element taillights." Under the hood will be either a 1.5-liter DVVT or a 1.3-liter VVT, each of them more powerful and more frugal than previous offerings. Both can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission, and qualify for listing in China's National Energy-Saving and Eco-Friendly Vehicle Catalogue, as well as a 3,000 renminbi rebate ($490 US). You can read more about it in the press release below, and get more info on the Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition, Corvette Stingray Coupe, Buick Regal GS and Excelle XT also introduced at the show. Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac Take Center Stage at Guangzhou Auto Show - New Chevrolet Sail 3, Camaro RS Limited Edition and Corvette Stingray Coupe make China debut - Buick showcases customized Regal GS and Excelle XT - Shanghai GM announces new telematics strategy featured in upcoming Cadillac product GUANGZHOU, 2014-11-20 – Shanghai GM is displaying 32 vehicles from the Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac brands at the 12th Guangzhou International Auto Show, which begins today and runs through November 29 in Guangzhou. Among the products that are making their China debut are the third-generation Chevrolet Sail 3, Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe. In addition, Buick is showcasing a customized Regal GS and Excelle XT, and Shanghai GM is announcing its new telematics strategy that will be featured in an upcoming Cadillac product next year. Chevrolet Sail 3 Entry-Level Family Car Since its introduction 15 years ago, the Sail has been a driving force in the entry-level family car segment. Nearly 1.4 million Sails have been sold across China. The third-generation Chevrolet Sail, named the Sail 3, will take the nameplate and the segment to a new level when it goes on sale nationwide by the end of this year. Built on Shanghai GM's new-generation small car architecture, the Sail 3 has adopted Chevrolet's new design language. It has a sculpted yet slim exterior with a youthful, dynamic feel.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
