Up for auction is my rust-free 1987 Chevrolet Silverado short bed SWB 1500 V10 4X4 1/2 ton pickup in Mint condition with 52,304 actual miles.  I am the third owner.  The second owner is 70+ years old and bought it from his older friend the original owner before he entered the rest home.  The truck looks, runs and drives as new with no known problems as you would expect from a 52K actual mile truck.  The truck has always been well cared for and it shows!  This truck has pretty much every option which was available in 1987.  Silverado trim, four-wheel drive, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering, dual fuel tanks, alloy wheels, engine block heater, sliding rear window etc.

Body:  The truck maintains all of its original body panels which are rust free.  I had a high quality repaint done on the truck right after I purchased it due to rock chips, bare metal on rocker after removing running boards and a poor quality dent repair on the driver's door by the handle to prevent any rust from happening.  The truck had no prior damage or paint work other than the door.  It had completely original paint other than the driver's door prior to the repaint.  The pictures with the running boards were taken the day I bought it with the original paint, so you can see how nice it was to begin with.  All trim, moldings and the bed were removed for the repaint so there is not overspray.  The jambs and bed were not repainted since they were in such nice original condition and I wanted to retain that originality where I could.  There is no variance in paint color either.  The body side moldings and wheel well moldings were replaced with new.  Covering the bed is a Truxedo lo pro tonneau cover which matches the tan on the truck.  It is mounted with clamps so no holes were drilled for installation.  A rubber bed mat is also included to protect the bed floor.

Interior:  The interior is in immaculate original condition including the original floor mats.  The interior is completely original other than the headliner and radio.  I replaced the headliner since it was sagging and the original radio was replaced by the previous owner with a period correct Alpine unit.  Every feature on the truck work including cold A/C, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, stereo radio, all lights and all gauges.

Drivetrain:  The truck maintains it's original drivetrain.  The original 5.7 liter 350 engine runs perfect and smooth with no leaks, oil burning, smoke or noises.  The automatic overdrive 700R4 transmission functions perfectly also.  It has a 3.08 axle ratio so it is a great highway cruiser.  The four-wheel drive functions properly also.    I just had the muffler and catalytic convertor replaced and the truck should pass emissions requirements anywhere since it puts off very little exhaust fumes.  

Wheels and Tires:  The optional wheels are original to the truck.  I had them professionally refinished by a service that dips and removes the clear coat and has the clear re-powder coated.  I had them refinished since the previous owner had used the wrong type of cleaner on them and damaged the clear coat.  They are as close to perfect as you will ever find.  The Good Year Wrangler tires on it have approximately 4,000 miles on them and were installed the day I bought the truck since the ones on it had dry-rott.  

I have driven the truck approximately 4,000 miles in the past year and it performs flawlessly.  I even made a 700 mile one-day trip in it with absolutely no problems or concerns.  It runs and drives as new.  It rides very smooth, is quiet and goes down the road straight.  Everything on the truck works as it should.  We have made several highway trips in it and is very comfortable.  Just get on the highway and set the cruise!  I receive numerous compliments every time I take it out.  This truck would be great to add to any collection or even use as an everyday driver if you choose, since it is very reliable.

Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  I welcome and encourage you to inspect the truck by appointment prior to bidding.  You will be impressed!  Please call with questions or to set-up an appointment to view and test drive.  Mark (913)909-1186 or e-mail through Ebay and I will answer your questions promptly.

Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close and the vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of auction close unless other arrangements are agreed upon between buyer and seller prior to auction close.  A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close by either Paypal or wire transfer.  Payment methods for the truck are:  Wire Transfer (preferred), Cash in Person or Cashier's Check (which must clear prior to vehicle possession).  The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or arrangements.  I will work with your shipper of choice regarding pickup of the vehicle.  The title is clear and in my name with no liens.  I have only seen one truck like this in person which is nicer and it is located at Classic Parts and has less than 100 miles!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
