I have owned this truck for about 5 years. This truck is extremely slick, with the only real damage being a small dent, about the size of a golf ball, below the passenger's side brake light, which I have photographed. there is some paint bubble and surface rust near the rear of the wheel wells, but it is not soft or rusted through. Again, bodywise, this truck is as straight as you'll find anywhere. The Interior isn't bad, with a newer seat covering, and newer carpet. The seat has one small tear on the driver's side, pictured. The door panels could use some fresh paint. The dash is cracked, but solid. A good cover would do wonders for the dash. I put a JVC Tape deck in the truck, and the dash hasn't been cut at all for a CD player, so you can put an original radio in it if you'd like. Mechanically, the 4 wheel drive works great. The engine smokes a little bit on initial startup. Being a 305, it is weak. It also uses a little oil. The transmission seems good. It feels like it could use a fluid service, and change of filter, because when it's cold, it will sometimes shift funny, but when it warms, it shifts perfectly. I just put new dual exhaust on it about a year ago. Tires are good. The AC has a leak. It works when it's charged, but leaks off. I replaced the water pump and the fan clutch a couple of years ago. The only other thing that needs attention is the steering sector needs repair. The steering turns sharper to the right than it does the left. I had it looked at, and they said that the worm gears were worn in the steering sector, and could used replaced. The steering column is also loose. I don't know if it can be tightened, or needs replaced. There is also a crack in the front windshield. The auto door locks sometimes stick in the locked position, so I don't lock the doors. It may be that it just needs lithium grease to cure the problem, but I have just never bothered with removing the panels to try it. One side of the tailgate latch came undone in the handle, so you have to release one side with a screwdriver. This is also an easy fix, I just haven't bothered with it. The truck needs a few little things, but all in all, it is a great looking vehicle. I am pricing the vehicle fairly, so that you can buy it, and fix it, and have a great truck for not much money. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
