1986 Chevrolet Silverado Long Bed 2wd Pickup-loaded Clean Nice!! Gmc on 2040-cars
Union, West Virginia, United States
|
Up for bids is a very nice 1986 Chevrolet pickup, 2 wheel drive, long bed with the Silverado package which is loaded with options. It has a 305 engine and automatic trans. The truck runs, shifts, and drives great for a 86 model. I think all options work as they should but not sure about the cruise control, will check it again. This truck has the optional and sought after two tone paint job with the rally wheels which have all the trim rings and center caps on them. Tires are good, think maybe one is showing a little dry rot. The body on this truck is very nice and solid. The only rust on this truck was on the cab corners about the size of a quarter, both were repaired nicely. The wheel wells, the bed, front fenders etc are all rust free. Its a very solid truck. The paint is pretty nice and shiny, would give it probably a 6 or 7 out of ten. It has been touched up a little sometime over the years but is still pretty nice. The interior is good with a new GM style seat cover on it, not the cheap aftermarket kind but a real cover that is hog ringed on like the factory does, it looks great. The dash has one of the hard shell covers on it, not the cheap cloth ones, and it looks good. the door panels are faded a little but not torn up. Carpet is good, a shampoo job would make it better but its nice as is. The tilt column is nice and tight. I did notice the horn button has a small crack in it as lots of them do. The complete interior looks very nice.The power windows work as do the power locks. It has a AM FM tape deck, radio works, not sure about the tape deck though. AC has some pressure in the lines but the compressor isn't kicking on so im guessing it needs a little charge. It has the dual gas tanks and they both seem to work fine and the gauge works as supposed to. The battery gauge doesn't move, may just be a bad conection.The front bumper is new but the rear has been damaged a little and straightened, really needs replaced. It looks ok but needs to be replaced to make it look as good as the rest of the truck. Guys this is a very nice 1986 truck but remember this is an 86 model so please don't expect perfection. Its a sharp, clean truck that has all the right options you want in a pickup. It was being built by a friend of mine but he had some finiancial problems so had to give it up before he got it finshed. The engine may have been rebuilt or changed, not sure which, as its been painted up real nice. Email me with any questions you may have before bidding. the buy it now on this truck is more than fair so don't miss out over a few dollars. The truck seems to run out good guys, Ive only put about 10 miles or so on it because of not being licensed but see no problems. The truck is being sold as is.This style of truck is worth more and more all the time as its one that the collectors all look for. I require a $500 deposit at auctions end. I will give you plenty of time to pick it up or have it shipped as long as its paid for in full within 3 days. Checkout my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. I reserve the right to end the auction early should the truck sell locally. If you have less then 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. PLEASE only bid if you want the truck and will complete the transactions should you be the winning bidder. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this very nice 86 Chevy truck. It has a clean and clear VA title.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]
Mon, Oct 19 2015UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
