This is a 1997 Chevrolet C1500 2WD Crew Cab Short Bed pick up. Yes, a 2WD crew cab 1500! According to the VIN number, this truck rolled off the assembly line as a regular cab 2WD short bed. From 1988-1998, the only way to get a crew cab full size pick up, was to buy either a 2500 or 3500 series...which had a bigger frame and 8-lug axles, amongst other features. You could not get a 1500 in crew cab form. In 1997, Chevrolet sent out about 27 select trucks to a company called Centurion Conversions. They professionally stretched the frame, dropped on a crew cab body, and GM made them available to purchase. It is a very rare truck and there are not a lot of them out there. Half of the 27 or so trucks were 4WD's, which makes this one even rarer.
We bought the truck from it's original owner out of Texas in 2009, had it shipped to us here in Maryland, and immediately put it in my shop. The drivetrain is all stock with 184k miles. It starts, runs, and drives excellent, and everything works. From the end of 2009 through the summer of 2011, I completely dismantled the truck down to it's shell (leaving the interior and drivetrain intact), and overhauled the paint and body. The truck was a turquois green from the factory and is now a 2000 Buell motorcycle pearl purple. The right fender antenna and third brake lamp are shaved, and the rollpan is completely welded in place. The door handles and tailgate handles were left as factory. There is an LED third brake lamp mounted inside the cab at the top of the rear window (can't see it from the outside until the brake is depressed). The truck is lowered using Belltech suspension components and rides great. The wheels are Boss 20" wrapped in almost new tires. The interior is stock gray cloth and is in great condition. Remote start has been added as well.
We love the truck, but don't drive it as much as we'd like. We would rather see it go to a good home and enjoyed, then sit. I encourage any interested buyer close enough to come by and take a drive! Please do not hesitate to contact us anytime with any questions or concerns. Thanx for looking!

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
