I am re-listing this because EBAY cancelled the first listing due to some loser who was bidding with someone else's account. Sorry to all those who honestly bid on it. Anyway, here it is again:

I am the third owner of this very nice Chevy pickup. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his neighbor (the original owner) so I have all the history on the truck. The original owner bought it for his wife while they were on a trip in Nevada, but it has always been kept here in Southern California. The wife died shortly after they bought the truck so it didn't get much use except that the man drove it to work once a week to keep it maintained. He put a rebuilt engine in it at 75,000 miles and then sold it to my friend about five years ago when it had about 83,000. My friend went all out to restore it back to like new condition, including:

New paint. Note that the truck had never been in an accident nor had any dents or rust, so there is no body filler or rust whatsoever on it. Even the bumpers are original.

Rebuilt front axle, transfer case and transmission. Warn hubs were added and the transfer case was modified so the truck is now a more economical part-time 4X4. By the way, the 4x4 works fine.

Put aftermarket rims and new BFG tires on it. I would say the tires are about 50-60% right now.

Complete brake job front and rear. The power brakes work surprisingly well for an older truck.

Added the bedliner and aftermarket grill.

Replaced the windshield. It's real nice, no cracks or pits.

The interior was also completely refurbished including, new dash pad, new headliner, new carpet, aftermarket steering wheel, and the seat was recovered.

A CD stereo with USB, IPOD control, remote control and Pyle speakers was added too.

I bought the truck in November 2011 with about 116,000 miles on it. I used it as my daily driver until a couple of weeks ago. I have a short commute. This is a really nice truck to drive around in because it has a great classic look but also has all the comforts of a modern vehicle. The power windows, power locks, air conditioning and heat all work great. All of the gauges work. It has dual gas tanks and the selector switch works. The truck starts easy, shifts good, has lots of power and stops well. Since I have had it I replaced the heater core, the radiator and the water pump. The radiator and the heater core both started leaking around the same time, shortly after I bought it. The water pump started leaking six months later. Note that the truck never overheated (nor does it now), it's just that I noticed small water leaks and fixed them right away. I tuned it up a couple of months ago and rotated the tires and checked the brakes a couple of weeks ago. Also, at some point I replaced the window weatherstripping on the driver side because it was making a whistling sound. It's nice and quiet now. I have the weatherstripping for the other side and it will go with the truck. Finally, I added the bumper hitch ball (2 inch) and trailer wiring appropriate for a boat (4 wire flat). I towed my jet boat with it once and it did fine even up the grade with the air on.

There are three minor issues with the truck that I can recall right now: 1) The cruise control does not work. I never even tried it until a few days ago, so I have no idea what's wrong with it. 2) The horn doesn't work. I believe it is the switch or the relay because the fuse and the horn itself both check out fine. 3) One of the wheel studs is broken off. I was going to repair it the next time it needed brakes, but it doesn't need brakes yet so I haven't done it. You should also be aware that while this truck looks really nice, it does have some small dings, scratches, etc. The imperfections don't show up very well in the pics, probably because of the white paint.

Some other good stuff to know: I have the original owner's manual for the truck. The truck passed the California smog test on 2-4-13 and it's good for 60 days so if you're going to register this in California you won't need to worry about it passing smog. Finally, note that I expect to be paid in cash, upon pickup, within 7 days after the close of the auction. I will not ship the truck, the buyer will need to pick it up (or send someone else to pick it up) in Simi Valley, California. Also note that I am selling this truck As-Is. While I feel that truck is in great condition and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, we all know that vehicles break down from time to time. So if it breaks after you buy it, then it's your problem. If you want to come out and look at the truck in person feel free to contact me through EBAY messages and we can set up a time that works for both of us.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
