1972 Gmc Jimmy "custom" on 2040-cars
Port Orchard, Washington, United States

1972 GMC Jimmy "Custom" This is a project
vehicle & the reserve set reflects it. Having said that, it is still
a custom Jimmy, in Hugger orange! i have taken pictures of the area's
that are problematic & as you can see, they are minimal. The rust
area's are pretty much confined to the rockers, passenger side door
corners & the small spot in the front of the passenger side floor
boards. The very back area of the bed is pretty much the carpet backing.
I purchased this from the previous owner (recently deceased) with the
intention of fixing it up to a "trail rig" as you can see from the
photos, the passenger side has a bit of "trail patina" but nothing to
major for the rear quarter panel & all rockers, fenders & patch
panels are readily available & fairly inexpensive for this type of
vehicle. Those are the bad things. The good things
are the overall shape of this vehicle! The skinny that i know of goes
as follows. The rig has not been plated since 2004 i think. The previous
owner parked it (with no problems/running at the time) with the
intention of putting a fuel injection set-up on it. There it sat, under a
tarp, until his recent passing, upon which time i acquired the vehicle.
It has what is rumored to be a 400 small block Chevy in it, that may
run, but i have not attempted to get it started & going (hence the
low reserve) the majority of the floors, firewall & dash are largely
untouched minus the dash artist.Frame is in good shape with a "scuff
& shoot" all that is really needed. I was planning on putting the
floors in black rhino lining myself, but that is up to you! The vehicle
has had a basic clean out, with no washing of the interior & a quick
bath of the outside. It has some leather bucket seats out of an Honda
accord i think & an original rear that will need to be re-done.
Center console is there & seems to only need a few trim pieces.
Please feel free to e-mail me any questions about the vehicle. Buyer is
responsible for shipping & please bid on the vehicle if you can
afford to buy it. Buyer is responsible for shipping from area code 98367

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
2015 GMC Yukon Denali
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Automotive enthusiasts often wonder aloud - ourselves included - why General Motors would choose to keep GMC while sending Pontiac (and Saturn, and even Oldsmobile before it) into the great automotive graveyard in the sky. The answer, as is so often the case, is profit. It's much easier for GM to rake in money hand over fist by rejiggering the trucks, crossovers and SUVs that it would already be developing for Chevrolet and making them a bit more luxurious and *ahem* "Professional Grade" with new grilles, badges and unique packaging for GMC.
While it may sound like we're being cynical, we totally approve of GM's fullsize SUV strategy. The least-expensive way to get into the fold is with the Chevrolet Tahoe, which starts at $45,595 with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a cloth interior. Bumping that same Chevy to LTZ trim and its $59,995 sticker price lands a much nicer leather-clad interior and more techno-bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. But it still looks like a Tahoe, and it still comes with the smaller 5.3-liter engine. Or, you could do what we'd do: Walk into your GMC dealer and take a look at the Yukon Denali. Here's why.
