1985 Gmc C1500 Sierra Classic Pickup Truck 2-door 5.0l Chevy C10 *very Clean* on 2040-cars
Cumberland, Rhode Island, United States
|
I may be able to drive the truck to most of New England to deliver! See the last paragraph for details. Here we have a very clean 1985 GMC Sierra Classic. Its tough to decide wether its show quality or daily driver quality, but I drive it daily anyways. I get compliments every day. I simply have too many toys, and not enough garage, so something has to go because the yard is starting to get crowded. I am very sorry to see this truck go, but its either the truck or my classic trans am. I drive this about 400 miles a week, so this is a solid, dependable, turn key truck, -NOT a project truck. It passed RI inspection with no problems in September of 2013. Exterior- It has an all original, rust, bondo, ding, and dent free body. It was sanded down to bare metal and painted in March 2014 deep metallic cobalt blue. It comes with a 4 year paint and clear coat guarantee through the body shop. Its a 2014 Ford metallic "deep impact blue" paint code j-4. Prior to painting, the body had very minimal rust along the top of the back wheel wells, and it was completely cut out and replaced with nos gm panels. They did a fantastic job making it look like it never happened. The entire truck was stripped down to bare metal, block sanded, and re-painted. I also replaced all of the chrome, (all new parts) including the bumpers, mirrors, light bezels, fender emblems, hood ornament, wheel well trim, and the hood was replaced with a Goodmark steel cowl induction hood. Everything is NOS except the mirrors, and light bezels. The bumpers are new chrome OEM. I have the original hood if wanted for an extra $50, it is midnight blue. The body is in really clean like new condition 9.75/10. The GMC logo on the grill is now red, I had a die-cut 6 year vinyl sticker made and inserted. I also added a new diamond plate locking tool box, (yes it comes with the key), diamond plate bed rails, and tailgate cap for a very simple flash appeal that's not too over the top. The inside of the bed has no holes but has some scratches to the paint, as I use this truck as a daily driver. I liked the chrome headlight bezels, but didn't care for the cheap looking 85 argent grill it had before I painted it, so I had a nos 84 chrome grill installed, and custom brackets to keep the dual headlights. That's why it has a one of a kind look to the front. Factory but custom at the same time. Looks great! Interior- Cosmetically very clean with no rips in the seat, and only a 3 inch crack in one of the speaker vents, I put gorilla tape under it to prevent the crack from spreading last year, -so far so good, it has worked for the last year. Carpeting is original, and if you want a completely new looking interior, this would be the only thing you might replace. Its not horrible, but does show some dirt stains in the high foot traffic areas. I just replaced all 4 speakers, Pioneers in the front, and Kickers in the rear. The original AC Delco cassette deck works as well. It has the Delorean windshield antennae.The AC compressor has oil in it, but I will send the truck out with a brand new one, if I can win the auction Im bidding in at a reasonable price. The AC has no line leaks in the system, I had a dye test performed, and it was diagnosed once an oil leak was found in the compressor. Im currently bidding on a NOS Delco Harrison compressor, you will have to install it if I win it. The AC should work perfectly new if installed properly. I will revise this auction if I have won it, and I will include it with the sale of the truck. Suspension/brakes I had HD lift coils installed in the front for ground clearance, and replaced the back leaf springs to level it out. The truck now sits as high as a K-series with a 3 inch lift. Still handles bumpy highway on-ramps at 40mph no problem. New upper and lower control arms and ball joints within the last year. Truck stops very well! Truck has the optional factory upgrade JB55 heavy duty braking system, with all new pads, rotors, and calipers in the front, and the back drums are good. Stops straight, front end is tight, idler arm is good, tie rods are tight, good sway bar bushings, all-in-all a very tight front end, however, the truck has a slight pull to the right, so I recommend a front end alignment. I will try to make time to get this done prior to sale, but I make no promises. I own a business and any spare time I may be lucky to get is usually spent with family. It started pulling after I had the brakes done in May. It is not dangerous, and the truck handles great, just being 100% honest. There is minimal play in the wheel, and the truck drives very well with the exception of the slight pull. You can drive it onehanded comfortably with no problem, -I do most of the time. Drivetrain- 305 ci HO engine with mild cam, and very recent Edlebrock 650 performer carb. Engine starts and runs like new, cold, hot, doesn't matter, it just sounds great. No knocks, ticks, etc. It does smoke for 2 seconds if it sat for less than half an hour and Im guessing its dripping down once the pressure drops. I do add 2/3rds of a quart to every 3000mi oil change to keep it perfectly level. It has been like this for a year now, and it hasn't gotten any worse. The transmission shifts very smoothly. No bucking or hesitation. It is a 700r4 automatic with overdrive, cruises nicely at 70 mph. Besides the minor oil burning, you wont find anything to complain about. Frame and undercarriage- Just your typical surface rust here and there, but not everywhere. No rot at all. All solid steel. Just took a ballpeen hammer and double checked it today, very meaty frame and under carriage. Tires- 33.5 x 12.5 x 16 BF Goodrich All Terrains, more than 3/4 tread life on all 4. American Racing chrome rims. Accessories and options- new steel cowl induction hood, roof visor, new diamond plate toolbox, bedrail, and tailgate caps. Recently wired for bumper towing with a flat plug. I tow a 12 foot aluminum john boat to bass fishing tournaments on the weekends. Power windows- (passenger side is slow but works) driver side is like new, power door locks work, but driver side needs lock actuator. I just manually lock it because its right there, never fixed it because passenger side works, and that's good enough for me. This truck has the optional factory upgraded JB55 heavy duty breaking system, rear sliding window, and Delorean windshield antennae. Mileage- The auction has included a free vehicle history report. You can view it at the top left of the auction, click on it then click on -view entire history report. This is exactly what happened. The owner of this truck in 2008 obtained a title with the actual mileage of 83,607. He Is a long time professional colleague of my Aunt, my Aunt purchased this truck for my cousin as a birthday gift in July of 2012. When my Aunt filled out the title application, she wrote on the form 93k miles, but when she received the title in the mail, it said 193k miles. The clerk showed her the application and said that there was no error made, but when my aunt looked, the application had a blue ink mark in front of the black 93xxx miles, and the person that processed the title assumed it was a 1. They refused to correct the title.There is no way my aunts coworker put 110k miles on the truck in 46 months. He only drove it on the weekends. So the truck has on it now about 106k miles, but on title, it will show 206k. TERMS AND CONDITIONS- Please bid with confidence. This is a great looking and running classic pickup truck. ***Paypal is accepted only under the following contingency- I will not release the truck from my custody until all of the funds are in my bank account and available. If you do not agree with this term, you are free to pay with cash in person***. This truck is sold as is where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. The truck is listed and offered for sale locally, I reserve the right to sell locally if sold prior to ebay auction end. Delivery options- Once payment is received and all funds are available in my bank account, I am willing to personally drive the truck to the following states. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or southern Vermont. I will need a $300 fuel payment up front. You can either mail me a cashiers check or US post office money order prior to my departure. The fuel and delivery cost must clear prior to departure. I will afford my own transportation home. I am not willing to drive the truck and then collect cash once I arrive. It is simply too much cash to have on the open road. I must have all funds here at home prior to delivering. On Jul-10-14 at 11:25:33 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE! I was able to win a brand new (NOS) Delco Harrison AC compressor!! It comes with the truck, simply have it professionally installed and charged! My mechanic told me there were no leaks in the system and all I need to do to is replace the compressor and re-charge! On Jul-11-14 at 15:16:35 PDT, seller added the following information: I took new pictures today, to try and show some of what the first ones may have missed. I hope they help. |

GM pushing back on proposed pickup and SUV brake recall [w/poll]
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Through the first six months of 2014, General Motors has recalled 29 million cars and trucks in 54 different actions. If your author's notoriously sketchy math is correct, that'd work out to one recall every 3.5 days (as of this writing). GM is actively fighting to make sure there isn't a 55th recall, though.
Safety critics, including perennial nemesis Clarence Ditlow of the Center for Auto Safety, are calling on GM to recall a further six million pickup trucks and SUVs in northerly climes due to corroding brake lines caused by the use of road salt. There is a catch, here, though - the vehicles in question are over 10 years old, and include the 1999 to 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban and GMC Sierra, as well as the 2000 to 2003 Tahoe and Yukon (shown above).
GM issued the following statement on the matter, obtained by CNN Money:
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GMC's Denali offerings are going great guns
Fri, 28 Feb 2014The Denali trim that GMC uses to denote its top-of-the-line vehicles was introduced back in 1999, partly as a way to challenge the recently introduced Lincoln Navigator. Fifteen years later, and with GMC the tenth-largest US automotive brand by itself Denali has become a sub-brand that keeps the cash registers ringing at the Renaissance Center HQ. While GMC increased sales by 9 percent in 2013, TheDetroitBureau.com reports that that Denali sales rose by 20 percent.
There are currently five Denali models in the GMC line, with the Denali trim available on all but its commercial vans. In 2010, when the now-discontinued Yukon XL Hybrid was also on sale, GMC sold 32,886 units of its top trim. Last year, that number had increased to 75,558, with almost no help from traditional marketing spends. Go to YouTube and search for "GMC Denali commercials" - the few actual commercial results are from years ago. GMC marketing director Roger McCormack tells TheDetroitBureau.com, "It's largely all been organic."
As sales have grown, so has the tide of money GMC rakes in from the additional luxury features on Denali models. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $44,600, yet its 2014 Yukon Denali doppelganger starts at $58,320, pricing that includes additional features like the larger 6.2-liter V8, nicer interior, head-up display and magnetic ride control suspension. The Yukon XL Denali starts at $60,965, but the article says the "average customer" likely to spend "up and above $70,000" to take one home. How does that happen? On a top-trim Tahoe LTZ, the top-tier wheel option is a set of 20-inch chrome wheels for $400; on the 'base' Yukon Denali you can swap for a set of 22-inch chrome alloys for $2,995. Add it up, and an analyst at AutoTrends Consulting said that kind of margin "epitomizes the concept of obscene profitability." We say when it comes to Denali, GMC appears to stand for "Grabbing More Cash."
