1986 Chevrolet K20 Suburban

Up for auction is our 1986 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban.   This is a very well maintained vehicle with seating for 8 passengers.  The interior is in fantastic shape for a 28 year old truck.  All interior and exterior lights and gauges work perfectly (even the analog dash clock).  It has 3 rows of seats, all are without stains or tears.  The carpet is also in wonderful condition showing minor fading but no stains, tears or holes.  The dash pad has two thin cracks, one above the speedometer and one in the speaker opening.  All of the power windows function properly and smoothly.  The rear windows from the driver’s row back have been professionally tinted. Overall, the interior is nicer than most 2 year old vehicles you see listed on eBay.

The Suburban has 99,987 original miles on its  350 V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission.  This was the last year for a factory carburetor and no emission controls in 3/4 ton and up trucks; which means it has a factory dual exhaust without catalytic converters.  The Suburban  features a factory towing package and 40 gallon gas tank.  Factory luggage rack.  Front and rear air and heat (air conditioner compressor functions properly  but needs recharged).  The four-wheel drive works flawlessly both in high and low range.  Recent upgrades include:

·         New headliner

·         New tires with less than 3,000 miles

·         Upgraded to dual master cylinder

·         New windshield

·         Rebuilt front end

·         CD/mp3 compatible stereo

The Suburban body is in good shape for the year and this particular body style. The two-tone blue and silver paint shines nicely and presents very well.   The red pinstripes are straight and un-cracked.   There are a few spots where the paint is starting to bubble over the driver’s side front and rear wheel well arches.  Also the paint is starting to separate from the body behind the rear wheel wells just above tail pipes.  Just under the driver’s side long rear window there is a small rust spot starting.  Inside both front fender wells there is a small hole in the factory under-coating.  Behind that you can see factory blue painted metal.   If you are familiar with this body style suburban, these are all the typical problem spots; however none of the areas are very advanced and all-in-all it is in great shape.  There is an un-creased dent on the driver’s front door where the towing mirror mount meets the door.  It could be easily popped out by simply removing the interior door panel and pushing it out.  All of these issues are featured in the photo section.  I have listed all of the “problems” I can think of.

This suburban is very mechanically sound.  It starts every time and runs down the road straight and true.  Drive it anywhere in comfort and style.  It will make someone a great family truck, camping vehicle, work horse, first car……?  Try to find another 3/4 ton 4x4, this well maintained for such a low price.  We are selling it simply because we have run out of garage space and have two other Suburbans.  Located  in central Illinois, feel free to come and take a look if you are in the area.  Email, call or text (Six 1 eight) three 67 two eight 6 three with any questions.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
