1987 Chevrolet Silverado 454 Rollback Tow Truck Wrecker Beautiful 43,000 Miles! on 2040-cars
Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States
|
This beautiful truck has been owned by us since basically new. I believe when we bought it in later 1987, it may have had 2000 miles on it. Today, it still only has 42,750 original miles! We bought this to haul vehicles to and from our shop when we started out as a dealer, and have just had it ever since. Never in any collisions, it is basically all original. We did have it repainted about 2 years ago because the paint had faded, but now it has beautiful Dupont base/clear coat. The rollback bed is by Jerr-Dan and is the "Wrangler" model. It has a tow bar on the end, which is adjustable, as well as the slide back/forth and up/down features. The winch works great, and the cable is an extra long (can't remember length) one that we installed a few years back. You can easily tow light duty trucks and any types of cars or vans without a problem. The rotating lights are made by Holmes and work great with switches on the dashboard, accept they were never hooked back up last time the battery was replaced. The engine is the 454 cubic inch big block, throttle body injected model. Starts right up every time, without any issues. Works like a fuel injected model, in which you do not have to pump the gas before you start it. About 6 months ago we had both intake manifolds and gaskets replaced as well as spark plugs, fuel filter, oil, etc. The Va state inspection has run out as well as the tags due to us closing our business, but it should pass without problems in any state. Tires are more than half tread left, brakes are almost new. Headlamps have been upgraded to brighter halogen ones. All fluids are in good condition without any leaks. I would rate the exterior of the truck a 9 out of 10. The only thing that could make it any better would be having the wheels polished. The interior is a strong 9.5 out of 10, with no rips, tears, stains, smells, anything out of the ordinary. It is way to nice to be a tow truck. Again, it was never used for a fleet, just for personal use with our business. Feel free to contact me with any questions at: fixencars@gmail.com and I will be glad to answer any questions, or show you the vehicle in person. Thanks and God Bless! |

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
