2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Z71 4x4

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Bowing for the 2007 model year, the GMT900-generation General Motors trucks boasted a number of refinement upgrades over their predecessors. Uniquely, GM offered two different dashboard designs depending on the trim level. Entry-level and LS versions got a dash with controls up high, which was largely intended for models with a front bench seat, while LT and LTZ trims got a dash with lower controls that was also shared with the automaker's full-size SUVs.

As before, the Z71 off-road package remained a popular option. It bundled special suspension tuning with skid plates and recovery points to turn these full-size pickups into proper adventure vehicles when so-equipped.

This burgundy first-year GMT900 Silverado is an LS trim level crew cab fitted with cloth bench seats, 16" alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a CD player. Aside from a black-finished grille and a spray-in bedliner, it is largely unmodified, and it has been registered in the southeastern U.S. since new.

Its 5.3L V8 sends power to the rear or all four wheels via a column-shifted four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed AutoTrac transfer case with an automatic four-wheel-drive mode.

This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 is now represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist at no reserve with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
