This is my 1981 Chevy Luv truck. Because of too many projects I must sell this truck. I purchased this truck in jan 2013.I bought it from the second owner who was a Washington state resident and part time Arizona resident.I FLEW TO LAS VEGAS TO GET THIS TRUCK AND DROVE IT 1700 MILES HOME TO ILLINOIS!!!!! This truck defines reliable. I wanted a good solid original truck to restore and the west coast is the only place to get them.The previous owner told me he bought the truck from a senior couple in Arizona 8-10 years ago. He claims they were the original owners. The truck was sold new in Arkansas. It has spent the last 8-10 years in Arizona and Washington state. I have a clear Illinois title in my hand.It is a solid original truck.It does have a couple small rust issues.The yellow paint is original. On the left rear quarter panel there is a slight scrape(very light damage-pic, grocery cart?)and does have a couple small dings. It has a rust hole in a strange place. its in the pillar on the right side of the windshield near the roof(pic).I think that led to the rust hole in the very bottom of the right front fender. It has a small rust hole on the right side rocker panel under the door. The only other hole I could find is in the bed on the right side of the floor.it is very small its between the right rear wheel and the tailgate. All the other rust on this truck is surface rust. The left inside of the bed has a large amount of surface rust but no holes. The undercarriage is in great shape. very solid. no rust issues with frame at all. If I had time I would dismantle this truck and do a total restoration . Its a perfect candidate or you could just drive it. That covers the rust issues. It has a cracked windshield but I do have a brand new windshield that comes with it. The tires are decent. I did just put 1700 miles on them, has all the original hubcaps. The interior is ruff. It had a old cover on the seat. I took it off just to give a better view of the condition.. the seat is very wore needs recovered. I tore out the drivers side original rubber flooring(worn) to get a better look at the floorboards. They look terrific. It has a very old aftermarket cassette player. Dash is cracked. glove box door is there but not attached. I didn't include any pics of the motor in error. The motor is original. It has never been hacked up or had any kind of modifications. The jack is still all there in the original location. Previous owner recently replaced the altenator. Truck does have A/C but I have never tried to use it and bid as if it doesn't work. The compressor is on the truck and it is hooked up. everything is there. Does have power steering. It does have the factory 2.2 litre diesel engine,5 spd manual p/s non working a/c
Since buying this truck and driving it halfway across the country. I have been using this truck to commute to work. 30 miles each way. I was disappointed to find out when I bought it that the ODOMETER DOES NOT WORK. It reads 140999 and stopped there . The previous owner said it quit on him and approximated the mileage at 144k. I have no way of documenting how many miles are on it Please bid accordingly. If you are still reading you already understand the reliability of these trucks and I really think the mileage is a non factor. It does have a profound vibration at idle in the steering column. Sometimes when your turning corners the indicator lights in the dash come on.Its always had a slight electrical glitch since I got it but has never affected performance.
I have provided the best description I could of this truck. Im sure I could've missed a few things but I just wanted to give a honest description so there is no question when you are thinking about bidding.this truck is fun to drive and gets a lot of attention.i wish it was shiny and nice but ill leave that to you

Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China
Fri, Jun 20 2014Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.
GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV
Sun, Oct 12 2014We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
