of the truck I will call a
Location:
Morganville, New Jersey, United States
Up for sale is a Very Rare 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Centurion edition package with the 5.7L 350 Vortec Engine with an automatic 4L60E transmission. It has a 10 Bolt Rear Axle with the GT4 G80 3.73 ratio. The truck has right around 148,000 miles on it. It is a crew cab short bed truck which wasn't available from the factory, only as a conversion from Centurion. They didn't make many of these and finding one this clean is almost impossible. The truck spent most of its life in Florida which is why it is so clean and 100% Rust Free! It is a 4x4 truck with the Z71 Off-Road Package. The truck is in overall very good condition. It starts right up and drives smooth and straight. No issues mechanically. The interior I will call a 7 out of 10 as the top of the dashboard has cracks due to the Florida Sun. There will be a dashboard cover put on the dash before the truck is sold, which doesn't look bad. The seat has a very small tear/hole on the drivers side and there are a few stains on the carpet. The exterior of the truck I will call a 9 out of 10. There are some small blemishes around the truck and a couple of small dings. No major dents or rust ANYWHERE. The underside of the truck is probably the cleanest I've ever seen in my area. It looks like it was never driven in type of inclement weather. The truck has power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as cruise control, push button 4x4, aftermarket CD player, day-time running lights, cargo light, and power lumbar seats.
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, 6 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or extended 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 trucks were not cheap. These trucks are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1996-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.
If anyone is interested in getting this truck shipped to them I will gladly assist with any shipping company on pick-up, as long as you set everything up. I will also offer to tow the truck free to the buyer as long as they are in a 50 mile radius if the reserve price is met.
If you have any questions about the truck, would like more information, or pictures of a specific part of the truck please feel free to contact me. Thanks and Good Luck!

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
