 Great old Chevy pickup...  use it as an occasional hauler / rider or do a full/partial restore for show/fun.   I've owned this truck for about 6 years, put about 6 thousand miles on her...  bought it from an old friend who owned it for almost 40 years, bought it from the original owner.   She's all original except for the wheels, tires and replacement exhaust (which is routed as original) and, yes, the original AM radio works.   When I bought it, I did and/or had quite a bit of work done to prep it for the drive from Denver to Tucson...  that's right, drove it, didn't ship it.   I had the front end gone over, lower ball joints, a tie rod end or two, alignment, plus water pump, hoses, tune up, wheel bearing repack, new seals, steering box adjust, valve adjust, etc.  Did the brakes all around, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, a couple brake lines.   Got replacement tires and wheels, a new gas tank (old one was starting to rust), a new windshield (installer took a beating on that one), battery, 'temporarily' topped the old bed boards (still haven't gotten around to permanently replacing those), transmission rebuild w/clutch, replacement exhaust all the way back, all fluids, filters, a bulb or two, etc and off we went.    Drove the whole 1000 miles or so (back way, two lanes) replacing just one taillight bulb (missed that one)...  great fun.   Complements all along the way.    Over the past 6 years, I've done things as I've had time...  left front fender, all side window glass, another battery (heat here is hell on batteries), speedometer rework, carburetor rebuild, clutch slave cylinder, valve adjust, valve cover gasket, oil and filter at least every 6 months, regardless of miles.   She's been garaged most of the time the past 6 years, all of the past 5.   Starts every time, with appropriate choke/pump, and does whatever asked...  haul grandkids on hay bails for trick-or-treating, dirt/gravel/wood occasionally, a trip to the dump once in a great while, or just a ride for the memories.   Drives down the road way better than my motorhome...  a little play in the steering (probably needs another steering box adjust) but goes straight down the road with no complaints/pull/wiggle/shake...  just like they used to when maintained right.   I have over $7000 in her without my labor...  bid early and often and she could be yours for far less.    I just don't have the time to do her right...  hopefully you do.

 She still runs fine, and doesn't burn any oil, not a bit of smoke.   But, like nearly all old Chevy (and other) trucks, she leaks oil.   Probably drops about 3/4 to 1 quart between oil changes, mostly while running or just after, mostly from the front main seal and some from the rear main seal.   If you zoom in, you can probably see the caked-on-oil on the undercarriage beneath the engine.

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid

Thu, Nov 5 2020

General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.

Very first Chevy Camaro found and restored

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Restoring an important classic car can lead people down rabbit hole upon rabbit hole of discovered history in a process that's essentially automotive genealogy. Take the recent rejuvenation of the very first Chevrolet Camaro as an example. The owners started with a strong hunch that the vehicle might be something special and spent years researching to figure it all out before the mechanical work even began. Fisher Body kicked off work on the first Camaro on May 17, 1966, and it was delivered to General Motors just a few days later for final assembly. While the model has earned a place as an American performance icon since then, the original was built more to develop the production process and boasted just a 230-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) inline six and 3-speed transmission. After spending its first few months appearing in promotions, a Chevy dealer in Oklahoma got the gold car in December of '66. It was touted on the sales floor there for years, and the first private owner didn't come until 1969. This short documentary goes into astonishingly comprehensive detail about every bit of the first Camaro's history. If you just want to hear the story of the latest owners and their work to get the vehicle restored since 2010, skip about 11 minutes into the video. Or, of course, you could just enjoy the whole thing. News Source: PilotCarRegistry via YouTube, Camaro NewsTip: Chris P.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.
