You are looking at my friends 89 Isuzu pickup. I am posting this for him and I will be responding to questions, so ask, read the whole listing, and look at all the pictures and consider the truck carefully BEFORE you place a bid.

 That being said, this is a good truck and should be a nice ride for the winning bidder. It has over 73,000 miles on the odometer, I don't know if it has been turned over, but to me, it looks clean enough to be the exact mileage. The truck has the larger 4cyl engine, and it is the fuel injection option , so it is not only good on gas for a truck, it is reliable. it starts right up as it should, and we drove it back to Staten Island from the owners vacation house in up state NY (3 hrs) , without a problem. The 4 wheel drive works as it should and the transmission shifts smooth with good clutch engagement. it also came with 4 wheel disc brakes witch don't seem to be worn and don't squeak, so its easy to maintain, The tires and rims look real nice and the tread will last quite awhile as they have decent tread left in them. Even the older alarm system works. It has a nice tube style push bumper in front with off road lights that also work well. The only option that it doesn't have that I whish it did was A/C. but then again if it did , it would not be for sale. The owner has health problems and cannot drive stick shift any more, and for someone that just needs a winter 4wheel drive truck so they don't have to use there car in the snow, this would be perfect. It has been well maintained through the years and I thinkit may have had some scratches re painted in the past on the sides of the bed, because the paint is really shiny and looks almost too good to be original, but we looked under the wheel openings and could find no evidence of dent repair or bondo. Over all the trucks body looks really nice and clean for an older truck . The radio is not original but works perfectly and the heat works great. Over all this is a real nice older truck with some great options and should be a lot of fun.

now on to the legal stuff..

 There is no guarantee or warrantee expressed or implied, so please ask a lot of questions and consider, that it is and older vehicle, so it may require repairs as it is driven more. also we will not ship this truck , we will work with your shipper as far as loading it up on a trailer or making sure we agree on a time to be home when you arrive to take it, but It is YOUR responsibility to pick it up, It should drive home no problem, but SHOULD drive home  is no guarantee, so I would make arrangements on the safe side till you can make sure. It is also being advertised locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction before it is over, if I get a better offer locally. You can make arrangements to come look at it in Staten island NY before you bid and I recommend you do that, I would never buy a car or truck till I saw it with my own eyes , totally up to you, but if you win the bid , and come to get the truck, don't expect to change the deal afterwards. you will be responsible for the purchase.

If you need special arrangements made as far as pick up date, or payment times, or something else contact me BEFORE the auctions end. I will not negotiate after the auctions over.

The truck needs to be picked up 2 weeks after auctions end, unless we make special arrangements,  or it will be relisted , YOUR DEPOSIT WILL NOT BE REFUNDED 

A NON NEGOTIBLE 400 DOLLAR DEPOSIT IS DUE 3 DAYS AFTER THE AUCTIONS END. I recommend paypall for this, the rest can be paid on arrival of transfer of ownership, I accept cash ,money order, paypall. I will accept a check BUT I WILL NOT RELEASE THE TRUCK TILL ALL THE CHECKS, OR MONEY ORDER PAYMENTS ARE CLEAR IN MY BANK ! PERIOD ! you simply will not get the title till the truck is fully paid

Thank you and god bless

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe

Wed, Aug 23 2023

Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.

Could this Isuzu Mysterious be an affordable 90s gem?

Tue, Mar 21 2023

The Isuzu Rodeo holds a special place in rad car fans’ hearts, as it was the basis for another beloved off-roader, the original Honda Passport. The five-door Isuzu SUV lasted here for several years before being discontinued in the early 2000s, but the automaker sold funky two-door body styles in other markets, and one of the now-legal imports has made its way to Cars & Bids. Though our version had the somewhat mundane “Rodeo” title, the SUV was known as the “MU” or Mysterious Utility. This Japanese-market version comes with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel and a five-speed manual transmission. This one has around 121,000 miles and looks in decent shape. Interestingly, the two-door MU almost has a Mitsubishi Pajero Evo vibe, with its beefy fender flares and cropped, lifted body. Amazingly, the auctionÂ’s statement that the SUV is barely modified is accurate, as its only upgrades include a new stereo and those funky gold wheels. The Mysterious has drawn several comments, mainly from curious observers asking questions about a vehicle theyÂ’ve never seen. One wondered whether the MysteriousÂ’ top is removable, which unfortunately is not the case. Some versions, including the Isuzu Amigo, which we got, came with a removable soft top. One commenter noted that the tops donÂ’t age well, so the hardtop is likely the best choice for a 31-year-old imported SUV.   Though many JDM vehicles from this era are sometimes exceedingly difficult to import and equally expensive, the Mysterious sits at just $3,500 halfway through its auction. ItÂ’s got all the hallmarks to be a Radwood-ready bargain, too. The bright red paint and gold accents give it just enough flash, and versions of the diesel engine are still in production in China, so it might be somewhat reasonable to find parts.

16 things I learned about the Isuzu VehiCROSS

Wed, Apr 8 2020

There are plenty of cars I remember existing, but actually know very little about due to the passage of time or just not particularly caring when they were new. Take the Isuzu VehiCROSS, which I fondly recall as this wackadoo off-roader from the late 1990s and early 2000s. But honestly, that's about it. So, since I've got a little extra time kicking about, I decided to fall into the rabbit hole labeled Isuzu VehiCROSS for an hour to see how much I could find out about this SUV (or "sport/utility" in 1999 parlance) that shared labeling with the watch I wore in 1999. Enjoy. 1) The VehiCROSS was not based on the Rodeo, as I always assumed, but rather the Trooper RS. Oh, so that bigger, boxier Isuzu they turned into an Acura? No, no, no. The RS was the two-door Trooper, and specifically the second-generation two-door Trooper, which I just discovered was a thing. And what a gawky, dorky, that-has-to-be-Photoshopped thing it was. Apparently, the Trooper RS was sold in the United States from 1993 to 1995, and in very small numbers. That is not surprising. 2) It was probably obvious, but the VehiCROSS was based on a concept car. Specifically, a concept car shown at the 1993 Tokyo auto show.  3) The quick turnaround from concept to its Japanese market introduction for 1997 was the result of some innovative manufacturing methods at the time (it arrived in the United States in 1999). According to the Motor Trend first drive, "There would be no time-consuming clinics, no 'courtroom drama' with the finance department, and to oversee the project, a 'Zip Team' consisting of 15-20 members was given the task of developing the vehicle in about half the normal time." Among its accomplishments, the team came up with a way to more quickly and cheaply produce the VehiCROSS' unique body pieces. Again according to Motor Trend, Isuzu used carbon stamping dies inside of the conventional cast iron dies. Though the carbon could be used far fewer times and result in a reduced overall capacity, they cost one-third to one-half as much and could be made in about six weeks – the cast iron ones would take four months and run about $1.5 million in 1990s dollars. Isuzu estimated they'd only be able to produce 2,400 VehiCROSSes per year until the carbon dies wore out. Then that would be it. According to sales data on Wikipedia, Isuzu managed to sell 2,005 in the U.S. alone in year 1 and 4,153 in total. In Japan, there were 1,805 sold in total.
