This 1966 Chevrolet K10 is FACTORY ORIGINAL and has been in my family since the late-1960s. It needs restoration but drive it while you do so!. My grandfather bought it from the original owner's widow. I was with him when he drove it home. I have the protecto-plate and the build sheet is still behind the seat. It has a strong-running 292 6cyl and 4 speed. Warn Hubs and I think a Spicer system underneath, but I'm no expert. You will notice I took photos under the hood when it was running. You can see there is a dealer-installed generator with a pto that once went to a wench. Also, there is a dealer-installed spot light. Everything works as it should. It has 72,XXX miles on it, but when grandpa died in 1991 and I titled it in my name, the DMV insisted that it had to show 172,XXX because the odometer only went to 99,999!!! They did the same thing to me with my 1965 F100 with 51,000 - can't beat city hall. Just look at the pictures of the pedals and floor mat at the accelerator and you can tell it has not been driven that far. It has rust on the fenders (apparently Chevrolet wanted that to happen because they ALL have it). The driver's cab corner has one small spot, and the passenger cab corner looks good (the green paint is rustoleum - mom's idea). On the passenger side underneath is a small rust spot on the rail to the cab support but can be fixed easily - see photo. All the cab supports look good. Also, the passenger door has some rust on bottom. Both rockers are good. It has surface rust elsewhere but nothing major. The wood in the bed appears good but grandpa put diamond plate over it so no guarantees, but I took a photo from underneath so you can sort of see it is in tact. The seat needs to be re-done and the tail gate has a slight bow from weight. The front bed rail is straight. It needs a new muffler. I have replaced the heater motor, ignition switch, head lights, tail lights and lens, the battery and cables, all the hoses, and put a new front drive line on because the slip yolk on the original was sloppy. It is licensed and I am driving it. Obviously it needs restoration, but this is the best start that you will find and the ones that are done are going for 30k plus. I live in Elko, Nevada and am right off of Interstate 80 so I can deliver the truck to you at the freeway to your car hauler or I can store the vehicle for you for a couple of weeks. This thing has (I think) 488 gearing so it is not a freeway machine. The lucky winner can put down a $500 deposit on Paypal and give the rest in cash. Money orders or checks will have to clear before I release the vehicle to you so expect two weeks delay if you go that route. If you win the auction and put down a deposit and when you come to pick up the truck, if it is not as described I will return your deposit and I will contact the next highest bidder. You can call me at 480-540-7633 with any questions or if you want additional pictures or to chat about the truck's condition. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Lots of pictures but Ebay only let me post 24. Don't bid unless you are serious, you have the means to get the truck shipped or pick it up yourself, and you can pay for it. Finally, I reserve the right to end the auction early because the truck if for sale locally. However, I won't end the auction early if there is a bid on the truck. Thanks, and good luck.

Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000

Fri, Aug 1 2014

It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
