89 Chevy Scottsdale Pickup - 4wd on 2040-cars
Reisterstown, Maryland, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1989 Chevy, Scottsdale, 2500, 3/4 ton, 4WD, Pickup.
As amazing as it sounds, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER of this truck! Yes I purchased the truck brand new from the dealer. I believe this was the last year they made the Scottsdale model but I could be wrong. This is a HEAVY 3/4 ton pickup which means that it sits on practically a one ton frame. It's an 8600 lb truck compared to a 7800 lb which is a regular 3/4 ton. This is a work truck and needs work, restoration, etc, so read on.... This was a work truck and is sold as is. Some history on the truck; -Never been in an accident other than some dings and dents from use on construction jobs. -Don't know the true odometer reading because the speedometer/odometer stopped working some time ago. Actual reading is 169367. -It is on its 3rd engine and runs smooth. -There is some noise due to some exhaust system issues. -It is on its second transmission which works very well. -Does need extensive front end work and CV boots and possibly more. -One of the brake cylinders leaks fluid so even though it runs well, it would need to be towed or rollbacked in any event. More than likely, it just needs some small parts to fix. -Seat is in bad condition. -Ladder rack is not in good condition and would need some welding, a rear crossbar, sanding and painting if buyer intends to use it. Might be worth it just to scrap it. -Does include an aluminum toolbox which is not in great shape, but works and does not leak. -Radio is present but isn't working. -AC compressor and all parts are in place but also doesn't work. -No lies, this truck would need a lot of work but would be a great truck to restore because it is now historic if I'm not mistaken. Hadn't started the truck in a while. Got a new battery, put in some fuel stabilizer, and the truck started right up. Still sounds very smooth! Transmission engages fine and all gears work fine. Included will be eight tires in addition to the four on it which are used but have a good amount of tread left. Even considering the condition. Looking around the web and checking websites for valuation, seeing what these sell for even in this condition, the ballpark that I am after is more than fair. Obviously, this is local pickup only and will need to be towed to new owner's destination, at new owner's expense. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
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.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
