Chevrolet Silverado LT (K1500) 4WD NO RESERVE!!! Features:
The Particulars: The above is a brief description of our 1997 Chevrolet Silverado LT (K1500) extended cab truck. It is a "local truck" to our home town in Chester County PA. We have used it as a farm truck, as did the first owner, who bought it new. It is a great runner, very strong, and has pulled our 2 horse gooseneck trailer with ease around here and to North Carolina and back. I'd give it a "fair condition" rating (see below for more details). In that condition, the Kelley Blue Book value is right around $4,000.00. I never list with reserves, so if you snag this truck for the minimum bid of $1,499.00, you will have gotten one heck of a good deal. Cosmetics are not essential to farm trucks! This one has spent most of its life with its tailgate down, which is a good thing, because the tailgate is in rough condition. I backed the lowered tailgate into our horse trailer a couple years ago, and I suspect my predecessor did so once or twice as well. It has been straightened enough that it is functional. The rear step bumper is starting to rust through, but that is the only area of rust through on the truck (see below aboout the cab corners). The rest of the body is in good shape, no major dents, scrapes, etc., but certainly scratches and dings which are normal for a vehicle of this age & mileage. The interior is dirty, as you can see in the pictures, but it could be cleaned up fairly easily and should look presentable. There are no tears in the upholstry, and other than a crack in the dash, the interior should be in physically good shape (again, just needs to be cleaned). The good news: Many Chevy / GMC trucks this age are rusted through at the cab corners. The cab corners on this truck were replaced two years ago, and the paint was matched very well. There are a couple of other minor mechanical "quirks" - a slight leak in a power steering line, an issue with a door switch which makes the interior lights stay on (I pulled the fuse a couple years ago), leaky AC compressor which needs charging annually, etc. The airbag light is "on" (which means the airbags need to be "inspected"), and the "check engine" light comes on intermittently. I had the code read on the check engine light a couple weeks ago and it was related to an O2 sensor. These trucks are known for this sort of thing - we put few enough miles on it that it does not require an annual emissions inspection in Pennsylvania, so I have always just let that light go... Also, (as noted above), I replaced all four tires and the spare last fall and they have (maybe) a couple hundred miles on them. Additional recent repairs: Complete fuel pump assembly two years ago, new spark plugs, coil wire, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor, ignition module and drive belt earlier this month (plus an oil change). We knew we were selling the truck and wanted to feel confident that it was in good running order for its new owner. As you can see from the above, I have gone out of my way to point out the "flaws" here. If you have any questions, please call me at 610 806 3954. Also, you are encouraged to come see / test drive the truck. I am not a mechanic, and nothing you see above should be construed as a mechanic's opinion. If you would like to have your mechanic look at the truck, I would encourage that as well. There are NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED on this vehicle. the vehicle is being sold with a clear title, as is, where is. Again, you are encouraged to come have a look, or have your mechanic do so, please call me at 610 806 3954 10% of the proceeds from this listing will go to the American Cancer Society... Thanks for looking and again, please don't hesitate to call me with any questions, etc. at 610 806 3954.

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS Sedan
Sun, Jun 14 2020The story of Daewoo in North America took some interesting plot turns over the decades. First we had the 1988-1993 Pontiac LeMans, a rebadged Daewoo LeMans. A bit later, Daewoo began selling cars under its own nameplate here, with the Lanos, Nubira, and Leganza available for the 1999-2002 model years. Then Daewoo fled the continent and left warranty service of those cars in the hands of Manny, Moe, and Jack. With GM taking over Daewoo Motors after Daewoo's bankruptcy, we got some Daewoos with Suzuki badges here— the Verona and the Reno— while Chevrolet began selling the South Korean-built Daewoo Kalos as the Aveo for the 2004 model year. This car may not be a gem in the sense that you would want to own one, but it's a gem of automotive history and thus deserves its place in this series (especially because it's one of the rare 5-speed cars sold here). Many (maybe even most) of these cars ended up in the hands of rental-car companies and other fleet users, but we can tell from the three-pedal setup that this car went to a non-fleet buyer. We've had a couple of these cars compete in the 24 Hours of Lemons, where I work as a dignified and respected race official, and they've been amazingly quick on a road course in the hands of good drivers. Power came from this 103-horsepower Opel-designed four displacing 1.6 liters. The Nubira and Lanos got versions of this engine on these shores, too. The LS was the top trim level for the Aveo in 2004, so this car got air conditioning and a halfway decent audio system (by 2004 standards). The seat fabric is industrial-grade stuff, which would have held up well under the steady drip and/or torrents of bodily fluids coating the interiors of rental cars. The 2004 Aveo LS started at $12,045, which comes to about $16,675 in 2020 dollars, so it was a lot of commuter-appliance for the price. The following generation of this car became the Chevrolet Sonic, beginning with the 2012 model year. You can still buy a new Sonic, and the inflation-adjusted price is nearly identical to that of the original AveoÂ… though you might want to move fast if you really want one, because Daewoo stopped selling the Kalos in South Korea not long ago. If you want the rarest member of the Aveo family available in North America, find yourself a hen's-teeth Pontiac G3, the short-lived Pontiac-badged version. Speaking of the G3, here's the way it broke the hearts of gas pumps around the world.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
GM Design shows what could have been and what might be
Thu, May 27 2021We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.      View this post on Instagram            A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.      View this post on Instagram            A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.
