I am selling my 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT pickup truck. I orignally bought it to move from New Jersey to Texas to California, but now have purchased a smaller car. This would be a perfect work truck. Sold as-is.

It is in very good mechanical condition and fair cosmetic condition. I drove it across the country with no issues at all! It has a clean title and recent smog (<60 days, so you don't have to get one). I have run a carfax on it, and can provide it if you don't want to run your own.

===TRUCK DETAILS===
-Clean Title
-Recent Smog Pass (<60 days)
-178k miles
-16mpg highway (when I drove TX-to-CA)
-VIN: 2GCEC19T6X1117449

===OVERALL SPECS===
-5.3L V8 Engine
-Automatic Transmission
-Air Conditioning (works perfectly)
-Hinged Third Door, Seats 5
-4-Wheel ABS

===Added Stuff===
-Leather Front Seats (came from a Chrysler Escalade)
-Radio (aftermarket that has mp3, aux, usb, bluetooth hookups)
-Sprayed heavy protective bed liner (good for hauling rough gear)
-Tow braket w/ light hookup (don't have a ball, though)
-Replaced hood that was re-painted to truck color

===Mechanics===
-Engine: good, stock, oil changed regularly
-Transmission: good, replaced by previous owner (Dec 2012)
-Brakes: good, pads replaced by previous owner (~Oct 2012)
-Battery: good, also I have a spare
-Cooling: good, no leaks
-Tires: good, have 10-20k miles left on them
-Lights: everything works fine
-Shocks: good, doesn't bounce
-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT: off (i.e. no problems)

===What is Wrong===
-The console bottom display goes in and out due to a loose connection in the console plug. You can push on the console to get it to light back up (since it squeezes to make a more tight connection). This does not affect anything beyond the bottom display on the console (gauges and alert lights still work fine), so you just can't see what gear you're in and the current milage (the milage is still accurate, though).
-The fuel tank sending unit is faulty, most of the time sending a low-fuel signal to the console. When you drive for a while (>50 miles), the sending unit will start to work again and give you a good fuel level reading on the gauge. I mostly go off the milage (>350 miles means I'm at about a quarter tank). It's an easy replacement, but you need to drop the fuel tank out to get at the sending unit. Up to you. This seems to be common (google "1999 silverado fuel gauge").
-There is some rust damage on the bottom of the driver side panel (see picture). This truck lived in the northeast for most of its life, so it was around salted roads for most winters. I've crawled under and looked at the frame and rust is minimal, and the frame is in very good shape (when I bought it, it was by far the best frame for its age). The fuel tank is plastic, so no rust on it. The exhaust system has normal rust for its age, but out in California it won't get worse unless you drive it a ton on the beach (or around salt water). Overall, this truck is in very good structural condition for it's age and previous location.
-There are some various small dents and scratches on the outside. This truck was used by the previous owner to haul mechanical equipment, so it was a work truck.
-Apparently there was side impact accident in 2006. It was several owners ago, so I don't know the details, but it was not totaled and appears to have been fully repaired.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.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.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
