It’s with a heavy heart that I’m offering this truck up for sale. I understand that to many, it’s just a truck. Something used for hauling truck stuff, but to me, it’s more than that. It’s a time machine to my childhood. I’ve grown up with this truck. As a child, I climbed in the bed, rode in the passenger’s seat, and sat on the tailgate. It's been owned by my grandparents since new, and thus, it’s been a big part of my life. My grandparents, who are the original owners of the truck, have finally reached a point where they don’t need it any longer, and thus, my childhood dream of owning this blue beauty has become reality. It's finally mine. Unfortunately, at this point in my life, I have neither the space nor the resources to give it a proper home, and as much as I love to fantasize about future plans for this sentimental piece of metal, it just isn’t economically feasible for me to keep it.
All sentimental value aside, this really isn’t your average 100K mi+ American hauler that’s been owned by several careless owners. It hasn't been ridden hard, put it away filthy, and left it to rot. No sir (or ma’am). This particular example, while not in impeccable showroom shape, is in incredible condition for being a truck that just celebrated it’s 30th birthday. In the eyes of the state of New Jersey, it qualifies as a classic. And the mileage? Equally as impressive. Only 53,540 miles grace the odometer on this fine piece of American iron. Why the low mileage? Well, this truck has never been daily driven. It was special ordered in 1982 for the primary purpose of towing a horse trailer back and forth to the trainer and the race track. Aside from hauling race horses; It has been used for truck stuff. The bed has hauled new furniture, old furniture, lawn and garden supplies and equipment, construction supplies, and even groceries. So, it’s been used regularly, but never abused, and it’s always been parked out of the elements in the same covered pole barn for the past 30 years. Cosmetically, the truck has great curb appeal, with the midnight blue paint being in excellent shape for it’s age, with only a few minor scuffs here and there, but nothing major. There is one piece of trim missing in the photos, it just needs to be reattached with double-sided tape. It’s never been in an accident, and it’s never had any paintwork done. There’s no rust on the body, and only surface rust on the frame. Inside, the headliner fabric will need to be reattached, as it’s sagging, but otherwise the interior is in phenomenal shape. The original color-matched vinyl floor mats are in great shape, and the seats and dash have no cracks. All gauges are operational, and the AC Delco AM/FM stereo works without a hitch. It’s been well maintained and taken care of over the years, and all service records will come with the truck, along with the owners manual, options spec sheet, and original keys. The truck does start, run, and drive, however, in June of 2013, the tags were removed and the truck has been covered up and parked in the barn since. It’s been kept on a battery tender, and also been started and pulled out periodically to keep the fluids circulating. The tires are nearly brand new, and the while the brakes are in unknown condition, they are more than capable of stopping the truck safely and without drama. That being said, this truck deserves to be more than someone’s rusty old scrap hauler, or a derelict farm beater. It’s a clean truck with a clean history, and I’d really like to see it go to a good home with an owner that cares. Somewhere out there, there’s someone who has a soft spot for the old GM pickups, much like myself, and this would make the perfect candidate for a light restoration or reconditioning, or whatever else might be in mind. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I’ll do my best to answer them to the best of my ability as quickly as I can. This is an as-is sale. No refunds, returns, or exchances will be accepted. Buyer assumes all responsibility for local pick-up or transport. Equipment list and description: 1983 Chevrolet C20 Pick-up - Silverado Trim Build completed January 24, 1983 in Oshawa, Canada Midnight blue two-tone, with white roof, Blue vinyl interior 5.7L/350 c.i. carburated V8 (160 HP/250 TQ) THM350 3-speed automatic transmission 8600 GVWR tow rating / 131” wheelbase Options: Trailering Special Package (power steering, oil cooler, transmission cooler, 7-pin trailer harness, trailer hitch receiver, 63 Amp HD alternator) Dual fuel tanks (40 gallon capacity) Sliding rear window AC Delco AM/FM Stereo Intermittent Wipers Roof marker lights Floormats On Nov-27-13 at 15:07:23 PST, seller added the following information: I wanted to add some information that I missed putting into the original description, but cannot add due to the description being locked in. The drivetrain is 100% original to the truck; it's never been pulled, swapped, or needed any major repairs. It runs smooth, but is likely in need of a tune-up given the age. The oil was changed every year or 3,000 miles. There are a couple minor oil leaks, but that's to be expected with a vehicle of this vintage. The transmission shifts smooth and the gear indicator displays accurately. All gauges, lights, indicators, and warning lights work. Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for viewing! |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
