This is a beautifully restored (body-off) GMC Sierra Classic short box pickup in show ready condition. It took first place in the custom pickup class at the Cedar Rapids Corvette show recently. It never fails to draw positive comments wherever it is. The previous owner was responsible for the bulk of the restoration, and I had the 454 rebuilt by a former Nascar racer last fall. The engine was completely gone through with new Keith Black pistons, setting the compression ratio to use premium pump gas so a person can drive it. It has an Edelbrock carburetor and intake, along with ceramic coated quality headers, with large exhaust out the back. The skinny belts have been replaced with a gorgeous wide serpentine belt system with chrome and polished aluminum pulleys. The heavy duty radiator keeps it running cool, and has never overheated, even when cruising with the air running. It sounds and runs amazing! The factory heavy duty suspension has been slightly lowered, and the factory heavy duty disc brakes are recently replaced. It has factory power steering, power brakes, updated factory air-conditioning, and dual gas tanks (a nice option!). The interior was redone when the paint and body were done. The previous owner spent over $12k on paint alone! The Cragars and tires were new at restoration, and still look new. Body mods include a new custom grille, a new hood with dual scoops, removed drip rails, removed stake pockets on the bed, molded metal rolled rear pan, removed emblems, and painted front bumper for that stealth look.
I have a book with most receipts that will go with the truck. It is a beautiful, great driving truck that you will enjoy while everyone else wishes it was theirs! I require a $2000 deposit (preferably Paypal) within 72 hours of close of auction. Full payment by cashiers check, bank transfer, or cash must be received within 14 days from auction close, and must clear my bank before the vehicle leaves my possession. Shipping or pickup is the buyer's responsibility, but I may be able to help load, etc. My zip code is 52302 so you can figure shipping costs if needed.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There 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.
2015 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL hit the floor at LA
Thu, 21 Nov 2013The middle child of General Motors' trio of truck-based SUVs, the GMC Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL, received their auto show debut at today's 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Showing off a bigger, bolder look, particularly on its Denali trim, the Yukon sports prominent chrome grille instantly identifies GMC's new top-end SUV.
The Yukon is will come to market with a pair of engines. The base 5.3-liter V8 pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the higher-end models benefit from the same direct-injected, 6.2-liter V8 as the Escalade. That engine makes 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with fuel economy seeing a likely boost thanks to an active fuel management system. Like the Tahoe, Suburban and Escalade, the Yukon takes advantage of a six-speed, column-mounted automatic transmission.
The cabin has seen significant upgrades in terms of materials and technology, with an eight-inch touchscreen display and IntelliLink standard in both Yukon and Yukon Denali. Fold-flat second and third-row seats come standard, while a power option is available, as well. Other techy features include active noise cancellation and standard Bose stereos.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
