1978 Chevrolet Pickup on 2040-cars
Valley Center, California, United States
|
This 1978 Chevrolet, 3/4 Ton, 4x4 Pickup Truck was bought new by my father (One Owner truck) in 1978 and it's actual mileage is 10,527 miles!!! Yes, that is Ten Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Seven Miles. It has a 400 motor, automatic transmission, limited slip rear end, Trailering Special, Silverado Package, A/C, PS, PB, cruise control, and dual fuel tanks. The truck had an overhead camper on it all these years and has been parked in OUTSIDE storage from about 1985 to present in Southern California (no typical salt - rust associated problems). This truck was driven into storage and parked 30 years ago and has not run for over 30 years nor has it been cleaned or detailed. The hood is rusted and will need replaced from the water coming off the camper. Glass and interior are in good shape for the way it was stored. (When I got this truck out of storage, I cut all the belts off the motor and pulled the spark plugs. I oiled the cylinders and changed the oil and oil filter. I turned the motor until it had good oil pressure. I installed new spark plugs and put some fuel down the carburetor. The truck started right up and sounded very tight however it only ran for several seconds so I could say that the engine actually ran. Call me for details.) I have title for the truck and all paperwork and manual. This is a great opportunity to pick up a nice, low mileage classic, one owner 4WD truck ready for your rebuild. ***This truck is a project truck and every system needs to be gone through, i.e. fuel, brakes, coolant, air conditioning and checked out but as you can see, loooooooow mileage. It has NOT been driven in over 30 years so don't expect to pick it up and drive it away if you purchase it. It will not start and drive onto a trailer, no battery, no belts, no radiator hoses, the brake system leaked out, the fuel system is dry….. this will need to be trailered out*** Known missing items…. Grill, Original Radio, belts and hoses, one of the two gas caps. I have storage reports from then to present showing truck has been in storage. Call 760) 580-2365. $4500.00 OBO

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
