Used 1979 Chevrolet LUV

Now here's a sharp classic compact pickup you don't see around too often. This 1979 Chevrolet LUV Mikado Pickup 4x4 gets its high impact exterior visuals from its luxury-level Mikado designation and it's in good shape, displaying an array of factory-applied decals against an orange backdrop that has a nice shine to it. Take a closer look, and you'll also see that its chrome bumpers look unusually fresh and its headlights are crystal clear and ready to illuminate the path ahead. The metal tiedowns and textured bed liner in back give a fitting nod to this truck's utilitarian original intent. Only a relatively small percentage of Chevy LUVs were equipped with this package and very few are still around these days, so this well-maintained specimen represents a truly rare opportunity. As you climb inside, the first thing you'll likely notice is the deep pigmentation of the surrounding surfaces. The vinyl bench seat, and the pair of door panels it's bracketed by, are in clean shape and the accenting chrome pieces have an impressive shine to them. Judging by its unblemished, well-fitted appearance, the carpeting below was only recently installed. This classic pickup was outfitted with an aftermarket sunroof and it's a great feature, with a tight fit to keep the elements from intruding. The factory steering wheel still holds its position on the column and the dash area beyond is well-preserved, with clear gauges in the instrument cluster and a fresh pad spanning the width of the cabin. The engine bay is nice and tidy, harboring a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine at its center. Fed by a two-barrel carburetor, this compact but capable powerplant is in good working order, propelling this classic truck with plenty of enthusiasm. The accompanying 4-speed manual transmission is in matching condition, running through its gears with no issues at all to make for a reassuringly solid driving experience. This Chevy's power brakes include a pair of discs in front to provide all the fade-resistant stopping ability you could want and, should the desire to take on tougher terrain come over you, its four-wheel drive function is no mere novelty. It's completely functional and ready to unleash additional agility via the set of locking hubs on the front wheels.
