This is a 1997 Chevrolet C-1500 2wd, real 4 door crew cab, built by Centurion Conversion company.

I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 5 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or ext cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the msrp of the original truck was around $21,000. These truck were not cheap. These truck are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1995-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.

The truck is dark polo green with grey interior. 5.7L 350 V8, 4 speed auto, trailer hitch. VERY LOW MILES, only 95,670. (I am still driving the truck, so the mileage will go up a little) When the previous owner got it here, he installed a new belt, fuel filter, K&N air filter, Optima yellow top battery, had the oil changed, tinted the windows all around , and installed a new CD radio with USB connector for your Ipod. The previous owner bought the truck from the original owner, that had it for 14 years, 6 months. . It was located in NV, and had been garage kept all it's life. He had it shipped to him in South Florida. I bought the truck a bought to years ago. I flow out to Florida made the transaction and drove it back to me in NY. (drove like a dream).

It was a desert and southern truck, NO rust at ALL. The interior is almost perfect, I would say 8.5 out of 10. The truck had a carpeted dash cover(that the original owner installed, so the dash is perfect). The previous owner added custom made floor mats front and rear when he got it. It has a 40/60 split bench seat in the front, and a bench seat in the back, hold 6 very comfortably. The passenger front door has 3 small door dings in it (I would assume they could be taken out by a paint-less dent guy) the hood also has two dings. The paint has some scratches in it nothing major, but from 5 feet away you can't even see them. The paint is still very good, and shines nice, (except the roof and tops of the doors, it's now faded, it just doesn't shine like the rest of the truck). I was going to have a detail shop do a good buff out the paint, but just never had it done.

After i purchased the truck i lowered it 4 in the front and 6 in the rear . the front was lowered with spindles, coils and custom shocks. In the rear i did a flip kit and new custom shocks. Also installed helper bags with two separate air valves for height if i add a load in the rear. I did keep all the original parts. Never did any performance work to motor or trans at all.

i also add a tonneau bed cover as well

The truck runs and drives great. It gets about 20 mpg on the highway. The truck never saw snow or salt. garaged in the winter.

The stock tires have a lot of tread left on them(rims are plastic dipped in black), one is missing a trim ring. The Aftermarket rims are 20" and have great tires with only about 1000 mile on them .

I searched long and hard to find this truck. But just went through a divorce and need to sell it. I will pass this one on to someone else. It is available to be looked at New City, N.Y. Any questions please ask. I have the clean N.Y. title on hand in my name ready to sign over.

Sorry for the bad pics.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.

GM to sell rebranded Peugeot vans in US?

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

According to a report by France's La Tribune cited by Reuters, General Motors and Peugeot are discussing the possibility of selling PSA Peugeot-Citroën commercial vans in the US through The General's dealership network. While specific models and what brand they may sell under stateside are not immediately clear, the move isn't entirely out of the blue, particularly since GM owns seven percent of the French automaker.
Peugeot and GM already have a joint-venture agreement to ease costs associated with vehicle development and procuring parts, and while the progress of the arrangement has been inhibited some by Europe's difficult economy, the two automakers are looking to expand the relationship. With sales in the dumpster, Peugeot's long-term prospects have looked particularly shaky as of late, and GM could use a modern commercial van lineup to better compete with North America's suddenly modern and Euro-fied competition. Mercedes-Benz kicked off the high-roof trend with its Sprinter, and for 2014, Ford is following with its Transit van (joining its smaller Transit Connect sibling), while Chrysler is leveraging its relationship with Fiat to rebrand the Ducato range of vans as Ram Promaster models.
Peugeot already has a full line of commercial van solutions in its stable, from its compact Partner and Bipper models to the larger Expert and Boxer models, which are available in a variety of cargo and people-carrying configurations.
