1981 GMC Caballero aka Chevy El camino v8 RUNS & DRIVES. This is a true GMC Caballero. SHE IS CALIFORNIA CLEAN UNDERNEATH. I PICKED UP THIS BEAUTY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. THE SELLER SIGNED THE TITLE AND I LEFT THE BUYERS SECTION BLANK. THE TITLE HASNT BEEN DATED. ALSO IT IS A MINNESOTA TITLE AND ITS FREE AND CLEAR. SO IT CAN GO RIGHT INTO YOUR NAME AFTER PAYMENT IS MADE. I WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING THIS CALIFORNIA TRUCK AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK BUT HAVE OTHER NEEDS AT THIS TIME AND HAVE DECIDED TO OFFER IT HERE FOR SALE. This is a running driving car/truck thats going to need a little tlc. THE MILAGE ISNT ACCURATE AS THE SPEEDO CABLE IS MISSING FROM THE CONVERSION OVER TO THE V8. THE ODOMETER HAD ROLLED OVER AND IS CURRENTLY AT 15,XXX. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME HE PUT ON LESS THEN 5K MILES SINCE THE ENGINE SWAP. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE ABOUT 80,XXX ON THEM I TRY AND DESCRIBE MY ITEMS AS BEST I CAN. IM SURE I WILL MISS A FEW THINGS THIS IS WHY YOUR ALWAYS URGED TO INSPECT FOR YOURSELF. THIS TRUCK IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY. Overall this is a very good start to a future show car/truck. At 1 time this baby was someones pride and joy. I WOULD LIKE THIS PICKED UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE LISTING END. WEEKENDS WORK BEST BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO WORK WITH YOU IF YOU NEED MORE TIME. $200 DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE LISTING END. IM REAL FIRM ON THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY TIME WASTERS ON HERE THAT BID AND DONT FOLLOW THROUGH. IF YOU CANT DO THAT WITHOUT ME HOUNDING YOU THEN PLEASE DONT BID. I ALSO WOULD LIKE THE BALANCE IN CASH AT THE TIME OF PICKUP. FAIRLY RARE JUST OVER 4000 UNITS PRODUCED IN 1981 CALIFORNIA BODY IS VERY CLEAN. STARTS RIGHT UP, RUNS AND DRIVES 305 V8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BELIEVED TO BE FROM A 1977 TO 1981 CAR? I WAS TOLD THIS HAD A 6 CYL. ORIGINALLY. THAT WAS VERY COMMON IN THIS ERA. RUNS DRIVES AND SHIFTS GOOD JUST REBUILT THE STARTER AND HAD THE ENGINE TIMING SET. VERY CLEAN FRAME AND UNDERSIDE VERY LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THE SHELL ALL GLASS IS GOOD TIRES ARE PRETTY GOOD WITH RALLY WHEELS. I JUST BOUGHT SOME CENTER CAPS AND WILL INCLUDE THEM WITH THE CAR WHEN THEY ARRIVE. THEY DO HAVE A CHEVY LOGO ON THEM. NICE STRAIGHT FRONT, REAR AND DRIVERS SIDE BODY PANELS,BUMPERS. RUNNING LIGHTS,BRAKE LIGHTS & TURN SIGNALS WORK. HAS BUCKET SEATS. IM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE FACTORY. FACTORY A/C WILL NEED SOME PARTS TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN. POWER WINDOWS & LOCKS TILT WHEEL 90% OF CHROME LOOKS GOOD AND IS STRAIGHT. AIR SHOCKS IN THE REAR THIS IS A 1/2 TON TRUCK AND IS LISTED AS SUCH WHEN YOU GO LOOK UP CLASSIC CAR BOOK VALUES AT NADA.COM YOU CAN HAUL STUFF I BELIEVE THE VOLT, OIL PRESSURE AND GAS GAUGE ALL WORK. THERE IS SOME AFTERMARKET GAUGES AND A TACH IN THE CAR THAT ARE NOT HOOKED UP. THEY WILL BE LEFT IN THE CAR. TAILGATE OPENS AND CLOSES AS IT SHOULD. SOME HARDWARE REMAINS FROM A TONEAU COVER THIS MUST HAVE HAD AT 1 TIME. I JUST WASHED HER UP AND I DIDNT SEE ANY LEAKS AT THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOWS. THE REST HAS A FEW FLUID LEAKS ASSOCIATED WITH A 30YR OLD CAR. MIGHT NEED A TRANS PAN GASKET.NOT BAD ENOUGH TO KEEP ME FROM DRIVING THE CAR IF I NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE. IF YOUR DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE I WOULD CHECK IT EVERY SO OFTEN JUST TO BE SAFE. COULD USE SOME CARB WORK CANT GET THE 4 BARRELS TO OPEN UP, MECHANIC SAYS ITS MISSING A ROD TO OPEN THEM. BUT THE CAR DRIVES FINE. MIGHT SAVE GAS IF YOU CANT OPEN IT UP. PRETTY EASY TO FIX. PASSENGER FENDER AND DOOR WILL NEED SOME SMOOTHING OUT. FENDER LOOKS FIXABLE AND THE DOOR OPENS FINE. I THINK IT LOOKS WORSE THEN IT IS. A FENDER AND A DOOR ARE EASY TO REPLACE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION HOW CLEAN THIS CAR IS ASIDE FROM THE COUPLE DENTS. THE TAILGATE HAS A SPOT OF SURFACE RUST. THE BED HAS A DENT ON THE FLOOR AND A COUPLE SMALL RUST HOLES. THESE COULD BE CLOSED UP WITH A WELDER AND GROUND SMOOTH. SOME CLEAR COAT PEELING ON THE HOOD AND ROOF. NOT SURE OF THE MILAGE NEEDS A SPEEDO CABLE. INTERIOR WILL NEED SOME TLC. THE NICE THING IS THESE ONLY HAVE HALF THE INTERIOR OF A CAR. EVERYTHING IS EASY TO GET TO AND THERE IS JUST NOT THAT MUCH. INTERIOR DYE OR FABRIC AND A LITTLE ADHESIVE GO ALONG WAY. DASH IS CRACKED, GAUGE FACEPLATE IS SCUFFED UP. COLUMN SHIFT HANDLE IS GONE (SEE PIC) BUT IT SHIFTS FINE BY HAND. PERFECT FOR A FLOOR SHIFT CONVERSION SINCE IT HAS BUCKET SEATS. THERE IS SOME STUFF UNDER THE HOOD NEEDING TO BE HOOKED UP SUCH AS WINSHIELD WASHER HOSES SPEEDOMETER CABLE NEEDS A COOLANT BOTTLE CAP RADIATOR IS LARGER THEN ORIGINAL AND THE FAN SHROUD HAS BEEN MODIFIED SINCE IT HAS AN 8 BLADE FAN, SHE STAYS COOL. MOST THINGS UNDER THE HOOD ARE FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER SWAPPING THE ENGINE. I HAVE LISTED WHAT I SEE WITH THIS CAR/TRUCK. THIS IS A RUNNING DRIVING CAR TRUCK THAT YOU CAN FIX ON AS YOU HAVE TIME AND MONEY. PRETTY EASY RESTORATION SINCE THE CAR HAS A VERY CLEAN UNDERSIDE SHELL AND FRAME AND THE EXTERIOR CHROME IS PRETTY GOOD FOR THE MOST PART. YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO ASK QUESTIONS. YOU MAY COME AND LOOK AT THE CAR, INSPECT AND TEST DRIVE IF YOU LIKE. EMAIL ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER WITH BEST TIMES TO CALL AND I WILL CALL YOU. IF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS OFFER TO SEND AND WANT TO BUY THE CAR MY EARS ARE OPEN. IF YOUR OFFER IS REJECTED AUTOMATICALLY IT MEANS YOUR UNDER THE THRESHHOLD OF BEING REASONABLE. TRY AGAIN! PLEASE INCLUDE A PHONE NUMBER SO I CAN CALL YOU AND VERIFY YOUR SERIOUS. THIS GMC CABALLERO IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND COULD BE SOLD AT ANYTIME. NADA BOOK VALUE ON THIS CAR RANGES FROM AROUND $3000 TO $11000 WITH THE PRICE IM ASKING AND A LITTLE TLC AND A FEW BUCKS INVESTED THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR YOU TO HAVE A VERY NICE CAR/TRUCK WITH LITTLE INVESTMENT THAT WILL EASILY BE WORTH THE MID TO HIGH RANGE ON THE VALUE SCALE. PER THE HISTORY REPORT THIS TRUCK CAME FROM CALIFORNIA IN 2008. I AM DRIVING THIS TO WORK AND BACK EVERYDAY. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID HE DROVE IT ALL OVER LAST SUMMER. THIS IS A FUN CAR TO DRIVE AND GETS LOTS OF LOOKS. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. STORE IT? FIX IT UP?SHOW IT? RESTORE IT? OR JUST DRIVE IT THE WAY IT IS.
