1979 Chevy, Chevrolet, Luv Pickup In Excellent Condition With Low Miles on 2040-cars
Winona, Minnesota, United States
|
I have for sale an unmodified and un-restored 1979 Chevy LUV
pickup with 41XXX miles. It is in amazing and unbelievable condition,
particularly so when considering that it is a totally rust-free vehicle from
Minnesota. The body is nearly perfect with no damage and only superficial
storage blemishes to the non-original but OEM color paint. The cab and box
interiors, under hood and under truck are factory original paint and there is
no evidence of repair other than freshening the paint, which was done prior to
10/2008. The truck was also rust proofed, (Ziebart) by the original owner. The
appearance of the protectant looks newly applied even though it is 35 years old
and is apparent in photos of the engine compartment. The mechanicals look
nearly showroom fresh. The original paint application in the engine compartment
and underbody is still beautiful as are the appearance of the aluminum and electroplated
parts and accessories. Photos of the rear brakes clearly show the marvelous
condition of the original assemblies. Even the bias ply tires are in super condition!
The truck runs and drives wonderfully. It does
have power steering, power brakes and an automatic transmission but it is
otherwise a very basic vehicle. There is no AC, power locks, cruise or ANY
sound system. You can see in the photos the radio delete dash and the antennae
plug in the passenger front fender. But, it is unmolested and is ready for any
changes you may see fit to install. There are several things that I did
to prepare this uncommon classic for sale. It’s had a full tune-up and all
points lube. All fluids are fresh within less than 100 miles. The rear axle got
a new pinion seal with Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube. The three-speed automatic
transmission got a new filter and fluid flush with standard Dexron ATF. The
sweet running 1.8L four cylinder has also has a new filter and Mobil 10W-40
oil. The cooling system was flushed and has new 50/50 mix Peak coolant. The
rear bumper was sandblasted and powder coated. The original interior vinyl trim
was replaced with quality custom fabric and trim. There are several items to mention. The front bumper has dent right above the license plate and the opening to the driver side of the plate has been distorted. These areas can be viewed in my photos. Also, the recoil mechanism for the driver side seatbelt is broken. I have been looking for a replacement but I have not been able to find the correct color yet. Finally there is also a crack in the dash pad. Additional photos can be found on my photobucket album. Please contact me for the link I feel it’s important to sell a
quality product as I feel it is a representation of me personally so I took the
truck to a local auto dealership for inspection. The possible weeping coolant
and fuel lines will be addressed very quickly. The inspection was eagerly done
at No Charge because NO ONE at the dealership had ever seen a LUV this nice! I
have not asked the dealer for reference but my service advisor for Dahl
Automotive in Winona, MN, 507/452-4080 was Toby Thompson. He seemed very
enthusiastic to bring in the vehicle and may be receptive to inquiries. On Mar-28-14 at 04:15:43 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple things I forgot. I installed new muffler and tailpipe. Also, I was going to post the reports from Dahl Automotive but I posted too many pics and apparently I can't switch them now. If you want to see them contact me and I'll email copies. The only points noted were weeping from upper radiator hose and similar weeping where a rubber fuel line connects at the fuel pump. |

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
