A time like the 80's is in terms of Movie cars well (Unfortunately) never come back. In the golden age, in which both the actors and their vehicles became real movie stars, cars like PUTTY from Knight Rider, Herbie from The Love Bug (1982) or even the Ecto-1 Cadillac of Ghostbusters. And you could list with that GMC Vandura from A-Team, the unforgotten DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the 69 Dodge Charger from A duke seldom comes alone continue even further. But that would go beyond the scope here. But we would definitely like to mention one more thing. Namely the well-known GMC Sierra Classic from the TV hero Colt Seavers out "A Colt for all occasions (The Fall Guy)". The idea behind "A Colt for all occasions (The Fall Guy)' was a Hollywood stuntman who also worked as a bounty hunter. And the constellation provided plenty of fuel for countless chases and stunts.

Although the series wasn't quite as successful as the programs mentioned above, the kids from the 80s should still Lee Majors - The Unknown Stuntman, Jody and Howie as well as the high-legged one 1982 GMC K2500 Sierra Grande Wideside know well. The long-wheelbase, Sierra Grande-equipped K-2500 was used in almost every episode apart from the first double episode, when it was a 1980 model.

And on Barrett-Jackson, a replica recently sold for $99.000. However, the truck that Barrett-Jackson auctioned off began life as a Chevy K10. The off-roader was converted by students from the "Automotive and Collision Repair programat Vincennes University in Southwest Indiana. There they accepted the challenge of converting the Chevy in such a way that it looked like the GMC from "A Colt for all occasions“ looks like. However, the project was already for the year 2010 implemented. The conversion shows up with the little ones additional doors on the loading area, directly behind the cab, and also the massive one Rammschutz at the front including covered additional lights is installed.

There is also a tailor-made winch at the bow and a striking red one GMC logo is also installed.

And under the hood? There sits a converted 350 cubic inch (5,7 liter) V8 with a quad carburettor. He transmits his power by means of Three-speed automatic transmission (GM TH400) and one NP208 two-speed transfer case to the four mighty ones Off-road tires with chromed Steel rims.
