1986 GMC K-1500 Sierra Classic 4x4- 38k original 1-owner miles!
A TRUE SURVIVOR!
This particular GMC was purchased brand new by Harvey and Alma at Sangster GMC in Wenatchee, Washington on May 7th 1986. The truck was prized enough they even had a dash plaque made that read “Built especially for Harvey and Alma”. This truck remained in Harvey’s care until his death and was subsequently cared for by his wife Alma. It has been garaged since new and has never seen inclement weather. It has traveled just 38k miles since new. This is truly as close to new as you would ever find!
Here is an overview:
Here is how the truck is equipped:
Exterior:
Paint- The truck has never been damaged in any way and is wearing 100% original paint as verified by paint meter. In fact this truck has the most consistent and lowest paint meter reading I have ever seen on ANY car, from 2.0-4.0 mils on EVERY panel! The paint has suffered none of the typical fading or peeling that is so common on this generation of GM trucks. Take a look at the paint on the roof and the hood in the photos, those are the reflections of the clouds you see, crazy! You simply wont believe the paint on this truck!
Trim- all of the Deco trim that comes on these nicely trimmed Sierra Classic trucks is present and primo! No pitting, fading, etc. on any of the trim or decals. Even the factory tape pinstripe that separates the red from the white is damaged or missing! The only items worth noting is the lower trim on the passenger bedside is starting to delaminate and there is a slight crease in the tailgate trim, passenger side which is visible in the pictures.
Glass- 100% of the glass is original to the truck including the windshield and it along with all the gaskets and moldings’ are like new.
Wheels and Tires- The truck is wearing its original 15” Rally wheels and beauty rings that show no wear. The Bridgestone Dueler tires have just 5,000 miles and are the correct 235/75/15 size.
Bed- The bed simply has to be seen to be believed! It obviously has never been used or hauled anything of note. It has a fitted bed mat that is very nice and the original paint underneath is nearly new. You will note it has never even had a hitch installed. Talk about light use for a truck. The photos speak for themselves on this front!
Interior-
Seat- The Burgundy bench seat is like new, no stains, no wear marks, etc.
Carpets- the original carpets are likewise clean with no notable wear. It even still has the original OE vinyl floor mats embossed “GM”. Awesome!
Dash/Headliner/Door Panels- Pristine and as new.
Electronics- EVERYTHING on the truck works as designed including the power windows, locks, cruise control, HVAC, Electronic ETR stereo, gauges, cab lights, bed lights, etc.
Mechanical-
The truck starts with the first turn of the key and idles perfectly. It makes good power and shifts smoothly through the gears. The brakes engage at the top of the pedal with no pulling or pulsation. The truck tracks straight and true and you can take your hands off the wheel at 70 mph. I just serviced the truck and changed its fluids, its ready to go.
Underneath- I have crawled all over this truck from top to bottom and it is absolutely dry underneath, no oil or fluid leaks anywhere. Not detailed clean, just obviously loved and never exposed to bad weather clean. The only item I noted was the exhaust had been changed to a glass pack style muffler, which I didn’t like so I had a more correct exhaust and tailpipe installed.
Rust- these trucks are VERY prone to rust and most are so full of cancer that they are now parts trucks. This truck is 100% rust free. It just has never been exposed. For those of you not familiar this truck lived its entire life In North Central Washington. Unlike Seattle this portion of the sate is simply bone dry. Less than 9 inches of rainfall per year, very low humidity, warm summers and no proximity to salt air means an ideal car preservation climate. For those of you back East or in the Mid-west, you probably haven’t seen one like this since the 1980’s.
Accessories:
On any collectible its important to have the little stuff, here is what I have:
I have over 100 high resolution photos of this truck, please feel free to email me and I will send them all to you. Overall I think this has to be nicer than 99.9% of these trucks still on the road. You could restore one, but they are only original once!
I am a licensed motor vehicle dealer in the state of Washington, dealer # 1777. I specialize mostly in Porsche but have an affinity for survivor quality American trucks. EBay will not allow a direct link to my site but feel free to go to “Columbia Valley Luxury Cars” to see what we are about.
I have tried to describe the truck as completely as I possible can. I won’t go so far as to say that is it 100% perfect, but I have never seen a nicer one. It is very low miles for its age. It is totally original. Everything works the way it did in 1986. Please contact me with any questions you might have.
Please feel free to ask any questions via email. I will not disclose the reserve, so please don’t ask. A non-refundable deposit of $1000 will be required within 48 hours via PayPal.
Please have your financing arranged in advance; it is almost guaranteed this truck will sell for above high blue book, which means you will probably have to come up with some cash on your own. Failure to obtain financing is not a valid reason to not purchase the car. I do not provide in house financing. No trades unless you are local and I can physically inspect the vehicle.
As required by law I am disclosing that the vehicle will be sold As-Is No-Warranty. Please remember that while this vehicle has only 38,000 original miles it is 28 years old and as such some items might require maintenance and repair in the future due to age and not necessarily mileage.
If you are new to E-bay or have no feedback please email me prior to bidding to establish your legitimacy. If you have excessive negative ratings I reserve the right to cancel your bid. |

GMC vehicles earn spot on Madden NFL 25's roster
Wed, 17 Jul 2013In the real world, the Super Bowl MVP gets a Chevrolet Corvette. Last year's MVP, Joe Flacco, took delivery of a C7 Corvette Stingray after leading the Baltimore Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
In the video game world of the Madden NFL series, the Super Bowl MVP gets a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali. Why no Stingray in the video game? Because GMC inked a deal with EA Sports for the truck and SUV builder to be named the official vehicle of the football video game's twenty-fifth anniversary edition.
The new Sierra Denali will be joined by the Yukon, Acadia, and Terrain in game, with stadium promotions for the brand throughout the season. Yes, even when you're beating the hell out of your buddy who insists on playing with the hateful Cowboys, you'll be seeing commercials. (Hold your keystrokes, Cowboy fans. We're just kidding. Sort of.)
GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
