1979 Chevy, Chevrolet, Luv Pickup In Excellent Condition With Low Miles on 2040-cars
Winona, Minnesota, United States
|
I have for sale an unmodified and un-restored 1979 Chevy LUV
pickup with 41XXX miles. It is in amazing and unbelievable condition,
particularly so when considering that it is a totally rust-free vehicle from
Minnesota. The body is nearly perfect with no damage and only superficial
storage blemishes to the non-original but OEM color paint. The cab and box
interiors, under hood and under truck are factory original paint and there is
no evidence of repair other than freshening the paint, which was done prior to
10/2008. The truck was also rust proofed, (Ziebart) by the original owner. The
appearance of the protectant looks newly applied even though it is 35 years old
and is apparent in photos of the engine compartment. The mechanicals look
nearly showroom fresh. The original paint application in the engine compartment
and underbody is still beautiful as are the appearance of the aluminum and electroplated
parts and accessories. Photos of the rear brakes clearly show the marvelous
condition of the original assemblies. Even the bias ply tires are in super condition!
The truck runs and drives wonderfully. It does
have power steering, power brakes and an automatic transmission but it is
otherwise a very basic vehicle. There is no AC, power locks, cruise or ANY
sound system. You can see in the photos the radio delete dash and the antennae
plug in the passenger front fender. But, it is unmolested and is ready for any
changes you may see fit to install. There are several things that I did
to prepare this uncommon classic for sale. It’s had a full tune-up and all
points lube. All fluids are fresh within less than 100 miles. The rear axle got
a new pinion seal with Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube. The three-speed automatic
transmission got a new filter and fluid flush with standard Dexron ATF. The
sweet running 1.8L four cylinder has also has a new filter and Mobil 10W-40
oil. The cooling system was flushed and has new 50/50 mix Peak coolant. The
rear bumper was sandblasted and powder coated. The original interior vinyl trim
was replaced with quality custom fabric and trim. There are several items to mention. The front bumper has dent right above the license plate and the opening to the driver side of the plate has been distorted. These areas can be viewed in my photos. Also, the recoil mechanism for the driver side seatbelt is broken. I have been looking for a replacement but I have not been able to find the correct color yet. Finally there is also a crack in the dash pad. Additional photos can be found on my photobucket album. Please contact me for the link I feel it’s important to sell a
quality product as I feel it is a representation of me personally so I took the
truck to a local auto dealership for inspection. The possible weeping coolant
and fuel lines will be addressed very quickly. The inspection was eagerly done
at No Charge because NO ONE at the dealership had ever seen a LUV this nice! I
have not asked the dealer for reference but my service advisor for Dahl
Automotive in Winona, MN, 507/452-4080 was Toby Thompson. He seemed very
enthusiastic to bring in the vehicle and may be receptive to inquiries. On Mar-28-14 at 04:15:43 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple things I forgot. I installed new muffler and tailpipe. Also, I was going to post the reports from Dahl Automotive but I posted too many pics and apparently I can't switch them now. If you want to see them contact me and I'll email copies. The only points noted were weeping from upper radiator hose and similar weeping where a rubber fuel line connects at the fuel pump. |

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
