1980 Chevy Truck, 4x4 on 2040-cars
Greenup, Kentucky, United States
|
Professionally heavy duty built, 1980 Chevy, short wheel base, 4x4 with 1982 3/4 ton drive train. Has a Jegs or Jasper factory built 350, not sure of HP, or cam size, but sounds and runs like a beast. A year or so ago it had all new motor, aluminum intake, Holly carb, headers, dual exhaust, rebuilt auto tranny with shift kit installed. Has nearly new Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5 military OZ mud tires, with spare. At local 4 wheel drive shop had 6" lift kit with dual shocks and dual stabilizer shocks installed. Also install a steering box, frame brace from National Tire and Wheel welded in before any big tires and wheels were put on. The welder said it was the best, cleanest frame he had ever seen from this year of truck. Had a new front drive shaft made with new yoke and splines. New universal joints, brakes and shocks all around. Installed 3/4 ton rear end and front end from an 82 GMC, with 373 gears. Runs and drives straight as an arrow, no shakes, shimmies or road walking. Starts right up, no carb issues at all. Works perfect Don't ever have to touch it. Truck has no leaks or drips or mystery spots left on drive way. All gauges work great. All lights, signals, wipers, heater work fine. The body is really solid. Cab mounts are good, new inner fenders. Only had 2 small rust spots about 2x2 inches at bottom of both doors that needed patched. Bed is completely solid, has no rust thru anywhere, but tailgate latch handle is missing. Body is tight and was sanded and primed and painted with gray Ford tractor paint. Looks great from about 20 feet away (haha). Was more into the mechanical side than the paint side when built. The body is really straight and would be easily painted at an auto body shop. I didn't install lockers, because I didn't to rape in the mud or woods. I use it to drive to work every day, and to haul firewood or whatever, and not have to worry about getting stuck in ruts or snow. I love driving it. It sounds great and shifts great. The seat is good, but the old dash pad is cracked. The floor had one small hole in it I patched. The interior is old, but all there. Could be replaced with after market stuff cheap, and look like a new truck inside again. It's a really solid, manly truck. Not a poser 1/2 ton with big tires. It will go about anywhere off-road, or get in it and drive cross country on the interstates. It never overheats or uses oil. The motor came from a friend of mine at work who originally bought the truck from his neighbor's wife. Her husband had ordered the new motor and had it put in, but he passed away 13,000 miles later. I'd say it now has about 18,000 miles on it. This truck will last you for years to come. It is a really dependable truck. I hate to sell it, but I'm facing surgery and will be off work for a good while, and going to need extra money to pay the bills. |

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.
