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

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette
Thu, Jan 8 2015Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like
Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
