Equipment list and description: 1983 Chevrolet C20 Fleetside - Silverado Trim Build completed January 24, 1983 in Oshawa, Canada Midnight blue two-tone, with white roof, blue vinyl interior LT9 5.7L/350 c.i. 4BBL carburated V8 (160 HP/250 TQ) TH400 3-speed automatic transmission 8600 GVWR tow rating (no catalytic converters, factory option) 3.42 Rear axle ratio (GQ1 option code) 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 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. Not at all. 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, but never abused, and it’s always been parked out of the elements in a pole barn garage for the past 30 years. The exterior of the truck is in great condition and has great curb appeal, with the midnight blue paint being in excellent shape for it’s age. There are only a few minor scuffs and chips here and there, but nothing major. It’s never been in an accident, and it’s never had any paintwork done. Inside, the truck is immaculate, with the dash, seats, door panels, and carpet original and spotless, and devoid of holes or cracks. The original color-matched vinyl floor mats are in great shape. All lights, switches, and gauges are operational, and the AC Delco AM/FM stereo works without a hitch, although it takes a bit of getting used to when compared to the digital systems of the modern age. As far as the greasy bits go, it's been well maintained and taken care of over the years, the drivetrain has never been pulled nor replaced, and all service records will come with the truck, along with the owners manual, options spec sheet, and original keys. The truck starts, runs, and drives extremely well, with none of the rattles and squeaks you typically hear from trucks this age. Although the inspection expired in 2012, it last passed with flying colors, and it's been kept on a battery tender while in storage, and I've started and pulled the truck out of parking periodically to keep the fluids circulating. I will address a few minor imperfections. Under the hood, there are some minor oil leaks from the valve covers. There is one piece of trim missing in the photos, it just needs to be reattached with double-sided tape, it's included with the truck behind the driver's seat. There’s no rust on the body save for one small spot behind the passenger rear wheel, but the entire body and frame was undercoated and rustproofed when the truck was purchased in 1983. Inside, the headliner fabric will need to be reattached, as it’s sagging, but otherwise the interior is in phenomenal shape. Also, the right front caliper sticks a bit and will need to be addressed before the truck can travel very far, and I would also recommend an oil change. That being said, the problems listed are minor and easily repaired, and this truck deserves to be more than someone’s rusty old scrap hauler, or a derelict farm beater. Somewhere out there, there’s someone who has a soft spot for these old GM pickups, much like myself, and this is a great, clean example ready for someone to appreciate and care for it. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I will 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 exchanges will be accepted. Buyer assumes all responsibility for local pick-up or transport. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. This truck has been re-listed due to a non-paying buyer. Thanks for viewing! Photos: Thanks for viewing! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Panasonic, Tesla on Gigafactory deal?
Tue, Jul 29 2014Bentley has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for reductions of carbon, water use and waste production in manufacturing. The Carbon Trust is an organization that helps groups such as businesses and governments reduce carbon emissions, use of energy and resources, and waste output. From 2011 to 2013, Bentley reduced CO2 emissions by 16 percent per car manufactured, curtailed water use by 35.7 percent, and saw significant waste reductions. Darran Messem of Carbon trust says, "Bentley is clearly passionate about continuing to improve its environmental performance, which is reflected by the fact the company has consistently invested in new technology." Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet is giving 12 Volts to MBAs Across America. The organization will use the range-extended electric cars in its efforts to help MBA students learn from and work with small business owners. As part of the MBAs Across America program's first year, four students drove 8,000 miles to provide entrepreneurs with free business counseling. The program has expanded, and this year, teams of MBAs will use the Volts to travel to 25 cities to offer their services. Learn more about the partnership between Chevrolet and MBAs Across America in the press release below. A professor from the University of Michigan has found fuel cycle analysis to be too flawed to be relied upon for measuring CO2 impacts of transportation fuels. Professor John DeCicco of the university's Energy Institute feels that the flaws in calculating the carbon footprint of liquid fuel production and combustion make such lifecycle analysis impractical. He suggests, instead, to focus to carbon capture. Since capturing CO2 directly from a vehicle is probably never going to happen, DiCicco believes the solution is to capture carbon from the atmosphere in sectors outside of transportation. Says DiCicco, "Research should be ramped up on options for increasing the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and on programs to manage and utilize carbon fixed in the biosphere, which offers the best CO2 removal mechanism now at hand. Such strategies can complement measures that control the demand for liquid fuels by reducing travel activity, improving vehicle efficiency and shifting to non-carbon fuels."

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
