Up for auction is this beautiful 1966 Chevelle SS. Ok, lets start with the basics. Yes, This is a real SS big block car. The Cowl tag sports the numbers 13817 on the firewall. See attached picture for more info. This mean it was and always will be a Big Block SS. However, the original 396 that was in the car is not in the car any longer. It has been replace with a smooth running 454. It does however have a Borg Warner 4 speed manual transmission. Not sure if its the original one or not. I will try to determine that for those that are interested. Mechanically this car is in great condition. Runs and drives great. Plenty of power and transmission is topped off by a smooth shifting hurst shifter. No problems with overheating in any conditions. Traffic or not she stays cool. The rear end is a 12 bolt posi trac unit. Not sure if its original but its perfect. Not sure on the final drive ratio. I will work on that as well for those interested. Please ask. I can say its a good road gear. Purrs at 60 mph.

Ok, now to the outside, the paint on the car is good. I'd rate it a 8.5 out of 10. Its been painted for several years. The chrome on the bumpers is near perfect as is the stainless. The wheels are 8" Corvette rallys. The beauty rings are like new. The center caps are showing a little age. Some minor pits. (see pics). All taillights, brake lights, turn signals, headlights etc. work perfectly. The hood is really the only problem with the exterior of this car. It is an aftermarket fiberglass hood. The fitment is a little off as it doesn't line up properly with the arch of the front fenders. It can be pressed down after closing but needs done after opening. This is what you see in the pics. Just want to try and explain all things that are wrong as well. But remember, this is a real SS big block we are talking about. These are all minor things. This car is worth big money completely restored. This car is an excellent driver. However, not show quality. I would not hesitate to drive it and enter it in all local cruise ins and car shows. Its a beautiful car. The car has manual front disk brakes, power steering, and a slick 4 speed which make it a blast to drive. There is no rust on the body, floor pans are solid as is the trunk area. A very solid car. I think the rear quarter panels have been repaired along the lower portion. A patch panel on each side. Work done several years ago and a very good job in this area.

The interior has black bucket seats and a factory console. The console is original to the car so it shows a little sing of wear. Some minor pitting but still looks great. The carpet also shows a little sign of wear but is still in great shape. The seats have been recovers to original and look perfect. The fuel gauge works but no other do. No radio. All glass is perfect and roll up and down perfectly. Again, these are all minor things but I'm trying to tell all the problems as well. This car doesn't need much money spent on it to make it great.

This baby ruled the road in 1966 and is a true prized possession, but she has to go. Someone is getting a true piece of American history. Good Luck and Happy Biding.

Just a little more information. After talking to the previous owner, It has been brought to my attention that the transmission and rear end are original to the car. As mentioned before the shifter has been changed to a Hurst but that's is. Also, a correction on the body work. The body work and paint are only about a year and a half old. The car was taken all the way down to bare metal. The only repair made was a small patch panel on the passenger quarter panel. The driver side is all original. The engine has been rebuilt and has less than 1000 miles on rebuild. Work done by a professional engine shop in Charleston, WV (Givens). Still not sure on the HP but its strong. Thanks for looking.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
