UPDATE and PRICE DROP: $5500 for the car. It has recently developed oil leaks that appear to be at the front and rear main seals. I will trade or part trade for a 4wd GM truck--prefer 3/4 or 1 ton.

White with tan interior and automatic transmission. approximately 230k miles. I am the second owner and have owned it since 220k miles. The original owner drove it daily for years until running it hot and blowing the head gasket. It was purchased with a blown head gasket at 220k miles.

Engine/Transmission

The engine was rebuilt with stock pistons, rods, crank, new rings, rod, main, and cam bearings. New timing chain, pushrods, water pump drive, water pump, plug wires, and optispark. Replaced all water and heater hoses (bypassed the throttlebody). Transmission filter and fluid change performed at the time of the engine rebuild.

Runs/drives great. Transmission weeps a little oil through the speed sensor. It appears that the torque converter is not locking up. Driving it, I cannot tell a difference other than the mileage is less than what other people say they are getting and you can hear the converter try to engage around 60 mph. I average 22-23 MPG on the interstate and high teens in town. It has the 3.07 gear performance axle.

Brakes/chassis

Low miles on cross-drilled GM Performance rotors, pads, and KYB gas shocks.

Exterior

All passenger compartment weatherstripping has been recently replaced.

Paint looks well from a few feet back as the white does not show imperfections very easy. The front bumper paint is cracked and could use repainting. The clear at the leading edge of the hood is beginning to come off, but the remainder of the paint is in ‘good’ shape for the year and mileage.

The black wheels in the photos do not come with the car. You will need to provide your own wheels and tires or for $500 more, I'll include a set of goodyear GSC's (275/315s) and you can bring a set of wheels.

The mufflers have been removed, so it sounds like a Corvette should without being overly loud (the center resonator and catalytic convertors are still in place).

Interior

Fat Mat installed on floors under seats and rear compartment. New ‘truvette’ carpet. Refinished console plate and dash plate by American Hydrocarbon in wood finish. Car originally had manual seats, but I converted to dual power seats. Both seats work well. The driver seat shows most wear. Headliner is sagging as well. It has manual air conditioning that heats and cools well. The factory stereo works, but I had planned on replacing it.

General

All electrical accessories work well and there are no service engine codes set. The car runs cool and drives smoothly. Its actually quieter/smoother than my 96 that has half the miles.

I have recently taken this car on an 800+ mile trip and would do so again even with the oil leaks.

TTT for update and price drop to $5500. Ready to get this gone before I tear it apart and spend even MORE money on it.

Maybe we can talk. It isn't a 4wd, but it is a 1 ton. I don't know what you are looking for in a truck, newer, or what, but I figure it is worth talking.

LTxDave

Year wise, its about right. I'd really like an old crew cab 4x4 GM (75-87), but the older fords are acceptable too.

I really need a 4wd to use around the farm. 2wd is pretty useless when it comes to pulling up stumps and getting the tractor unstuck. Thanks for the offer though.

one more time up...

We'll add the option of a good v8 4dr sedan. Part trade up to $10k value.
