Was my Grandfathers truck. I can't justify keeping it as I need a tow rig with seats for the family. Grandpa putted it to the store and back every couple weeks. 79k on the clock and a desirable 454 and color combo. It drives like a new 28 year old truck and it's mechanically sound as can be. Aesthetically it needs a little TLC as it was stored outside.

Good:
  • 79,200 original miles. Hasn't rolled over. True sub 100k pickup.
  • 454 - Turbo 400 - 14-bolt full floater - Dual tanks.
  • Last year for no catalyst and carb.
  • Full trans rebuild 6500 miles ago (16 years ago, but yeah, 6500 miles).
  • Full brake service including master cylinder 3k miles ago
  • Never smoked in

Bad:

  • Sat outside in Grandpa's driveway its whole life so the paint on the hood and roof is cooked off. It has a few dings and scratches as well.
  • 20 years ago it had a canopy. There are mounting holes and some surface rust on the bed rails.
  • Grandpa apparently never rolled the windows down and both window motors failed within a month of me getting the truck. New motors are $25 on Amazon, I'm just a busy guy.
  • Same thing with the A/C compressor. He never used the A/C and the compressor seized as soon as I turned it on.
  • Drivers vent window lower hinge is broken. It holds itself closed fine but would flap around if you tried to drive with it open.
  • Passenger lock cylinder doesn't seem to match the drivers and should be rekeyed to match.
  • Looks like a loose tire chain beat up the wheel well molding on the left rear.
  • Volt meter doesn't work. Battery and charging system are perfectly functional. All other gauges work including the clock.
Here's a shot of the RPO tag. As you can see this was a heavily optioned truck. G80 locker, dual batteries, tilt, power everything. Not sure if there were any options it didn't have.

Clean title in my name.

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model

Tue, Sep 16 2014

Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Nissan Leaf is now the best-selling plug-in vehicle of all time in US

Thu, Apr 2 2015

Numbers don't lie. And in some instances, you can see their truth from miles away. As everyone expected, the Nissan Leaf is now officially the best-selling plug-in vehicle in the US. While the two vehicles aren't direct competitors (one's a pure EV and the other is a plug-in hybrid), they certainly dominate the plug-in vehicle sales charts. When we do a little math on those charts, we see that since the two vehicles went on sale at the end of 2010, the Volt has sold 75,231 units while the Leaf is now at 76,407, giving the Leaf a 1,176-vehicle lead. The Leaf trailed the Volt by just two units at the end of February. This is the first time the EV had held the overall lead since the end of February 2012, when it was ahead 10,847 to 9,623 and for a while there at the end of 2013, the Volt was up by around 12,000 units. Times have changed, though, and we don't expect the lead to switch back until the next-gen Volt goes on sale later this year, and even then nothing is certain. The Leaf sold 1,817 copies last month, a drop of 27.5 percent from last year. Year-to-date, the Leaf has sold 4,085 units, down 21.2 percent from the same time period in 2014. There were 639 Volts sold last month, a 56.8-percent sales decrease compared to March 2014. So far this year, Volt sales are down 48 percent. Green Chevrolet Nissan ev sales hybrid sales
