I am selling this for a friend. His name is Wayne, and his number is (708) 557-2300. Please do not email me with any questions. Give Wayne a call. This 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super Custom Camper Special is a true survivor, oiriginally from Idaho. It is truly a top-quality, highly original driver that has been very well taken care of, and is up to any task.

The certified actual mileage is just 87,800. Vehicle is driven during the week, so a few mils will be added. Certification of mileage will be provided upon sale. Look at the list of items this truck came with from the factory:

*402 Big Block, Original motor, all original specs.                                                                                   

*Power Disc Brakes, rotors and pads show very little wear                                                                    

*Power Steering

*Factory Air Conditioning, recently serviced, very cold

*Automatic Trans. Turbo 400

*Factory tilt steering wheel, a very rare option

In addition, the following has recently been completed:

*New Tires, Hoses, Belts, etc *Beautiful, aftermarket 16" wheels. Tailpipes replaced with original equipment equivalent. Complete tune-up, plus new filters.

You do not need to do anything to this truck but drive it, and keep it clean.

This is a Fantastic Cruze 'N Use Classic.  You can show it very well in local shows, and be very proud as the owner.

This truck was re-painted at some point in the original factory color scheme, Lemon-Lime with white. It was a high-quality paint job, and the color really pops, much better than the pics show. It is showing just a few very small spots of buff-through on a couple of the sharp edges. The pictures taken could not make it show up, but if you are very close to the truck, and looking for it, you can see it. This is not something anyone would see unless they are really examining the paint. 

With the exception of the seats, the interior is in fully original condition. Door panels, headliner, dash, steering wheel are all original. The seats have been recovered in a top-quality material similar, though not identical, to the original factory seats. Cushions/bolsters were replaced at that time, so the seats have provide a lot of support, very comfortable.

There is no rust perforation anywhere on this vehicle. All lights and gauges function as they should. THIS TRUCK DRIVES LIKE A DREAM! Straight down the road with no shimmy or wandering, no vibration anywhere, at any speed. Stops quickly in a straight line, thanks to the rare Factory Power Disc Brakes. It handles very well, corners like a modern truck. With the factory 402 big block, you have plenty of torque to get you moving quickly. The engine does not overheat, or burn oil. The transmission shifts smoothly, with no unusual noises. The bed has no dents, and is covered in a nice Silver-Gray spray-on liner that is a couple years old, and in good shape. Look closely at the pics to see the perfect sheet metal throughout the body of this truck.

The truck, and it's owner, Wayne, reside in Illinois. He has owned it over a year, and, and has driven it regularly during that time. He is a knowledgeable and detail-oriented auto enthusiast. He put much more time and money into it than he will ever get out. He is only selling it because his plans have changed, and he needs the money to complete other restorations. This truck was not bought with the idea of being a "flip". It was bought to fix up as a fine classic vehicle, which it now is. Wayne can be reached at (708) 557-2300. Be sure to have a list of questions ready, as he will answer anything you ask about the truck. Please do not call after 9:00 p.m., Central Time.

The winning bidder is required to pay $500, via paypal, or overnight certified funds, within 72 hours of close of auction. The balance must be paid within 7 days, via Certified funds, which are subject to "hold" until fully cleared, or via wire transfer.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Jay Leno gets pulled over while roaring in a Corvette Z06 convertible

Tue, Jan 6 2015

No one is above the law, even if that person is a certain silver-haired auto enthusiast with a popular weekly video series about the cars in his garage. This week, Jay Leno experiences the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06, but he also gets to have a meeting with some of California's Finest immediately after a high-speed blast. As opposed to the full-bore Z06 coupe with the seven-speed manual, Leno gets behind the wheel of the slightly heavier convertible version with the eight-speed auto. Being a droptop doesn't bother him too much, but Leno makes it obvious he wishes that he could be shifting for himself. Even if the auto is technically quicker, Leno says that swapping gears gives him something to do while driving. Of course, one of the major advantages of the convertible is the ability to listen to the Z06's thumping V8 unimpeded. With 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from 6.2-liters of supercharged muscle, it already puts down impressive numbers, but the sound might just be the best part of all. Around town, the 'Vette is quiet enough to easily blend in with the rest of traffic. However, tip the throttle down and the valves in the exhaust open up to turn the engine into roaring monster. Be careful where you make this thing howl, though, because it's pretty easy for the police to take notice. The host finds that out the hard way in this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one

Thu, Feb 25 2016

A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
