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.

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
