Vehicle description
Earlier this month, I bought this 1978 Chinook Newport/Toyota HiLux on eBay. This is the Newport model with the split back Dutch door at the right rear. This was an anniversary present for my wife- -we had watched these Chinooks for years. Unfortunately, after she got over the surprise, she decided it was not to be a part of our life so I am selling it right away. It was in Utah when I bought it sight unseen- -had it flatbedded over to our home West of Portland. I have driven it less than five miles total. It starts right up and runs just fine. Will be perfect for cruising to mountains or beaches for overnights or weeks- -no Motel costs! The title is totally clear and I have receipts from two previous owners for all the following who took steps to make everything perfect under the hood: Engine rebuild: $2100 (June 2016) Tire replacement and rebalance - $600 (April 2016) New radiator and fan clutch - $400 (August 2016) New battery and cables - $360 (April 2016) New Alternator (June 2017) New Clutch Slave Cylinder (July 2017) New Muffler (October 2016) New brake master cylinder & flasher assembly - $470 (July 2016) Carburetor rebuild - $400 (receipt misplaced). All of the above done within the last 5000 miles. The previous owner also put in a new air conditioning unit for about $1000 that will cool down the whole cab in minutes- -do not have that receipt. Somewhere along the line, the carpet in the cab was removed- -included is brand new replacement carpet ordered specifically for this vehicle- -it simply had never been installed- -would involve pulling existing seats first One non-original addition to this Chinook is a two foot long bicycle platform added to the rear bumper area- -could easily be modified for carrying spare tire, toolbox and/or gasoline can. Powered by the 4 cylinder revered Toyota 20R engine. It has a manual 5 speed transmission. Mileage is supposedly 18-22 city/highway. Includes original propane stove, fridge and heater, sink and portable potty. Also has new Haynes manual for 78 Hilux truck as well as CDR of Chinook manuals for vehicle and appliances within….and original owner’s manual; is still in the glovebox.
