1997 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado 5.7l 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed Ultra Rare Centurion on 2040-cars
Morganville, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for sale is a Very Rare 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Centurion edition package with the 5.7L 350 Vortec Engine with an automatic 4L60E transmission. It has a 10 Bolt Rear Axle with the GT4 G80 3.73 ratio. The truck has right around 148,000 miles on it. It is a crew cab short bed truck which wasn't available from the factory, only as a conversion from Centurion. They didn't make many of these and finding one this clean is almost impossible. The truck spent most of its life in Florida which is why it is so clean and 100% Rust Free! It is a 4x4 truck with the Z71 Off-Road Package. The truck is in overall very good condition. It starts right up and drives smooth and straight. No issues mechanically. The interior I will call a 7 out of 10 as the top of the dashboard has cracks due to the Florida Sun. There will be a dashboard cover put on the dash before the truck is sold, which doesn't look bad. The seat has a very small tear/hole on the drivers side and there are a few stains on the carpet. The exterior of the truck I will call a 9 out of 10. There are some small blemishes around the truck and a couple of small dings. No major dents or rust ANYWHERE. The underside of the truck is probably the cleanest I've ever seen in my area. It looks like it was never driven in type of inclement weather. The truck has power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as cruise control, push button 4x4, aftermarket CD player, day-time running lights, cargo light, and power lumbar seats.
I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 6 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or extended cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the MSRP of the original truck was around $21,000. These trucks were not cheap. These trucks are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1996-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.
If anyone is interested in getting this truck shipped to them I will gladly assist with any shipping company on pick-up, as long as you set everything up. I will also offer to tow the truck free to the buyer as long as they are in a 50 mile radius if the reserve price is met.
If you have any questions about the truck, would like more information, or pictures of a specific part of the truck please feel free to contact me. Thanks and Good Luck!

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’
Wed, Mar 4 2020WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
