This 1966 C20 was restored a while back and is in very good condition cosmetically, with a built 454 with a build sheet put in less than 5K miles ago and a freshly built TH400 & 3K stall converter (built to take BIG power) installed under 200 miles ago with paperwork for all and an engine dyno sheet. The interior is in excellent condition and the exterior in very good driver's condition that turns heads everywhere (as does the unmistakable sound 529HP makes). There are a few cosmetic flaws but it is in overall great condition. The shifter is a B&M slapshift that looks as well as performs exceptionally. The brakes were all done when the engine was installed and work well for being manual/all drum. The seat material looks and feels nice and the windows are tinted to provide a little protection for the interior. The truck has all of the A/C equipment installed except for the compressor (interior has an aftermarket under-dash unit). It was removed when the big block was installed. Also the heater core is not being utilized as the truck has been garaged and summer driven only for years. There isn't any rust on the body or frame (except for slight surface rust on the tailgate latches and a few small dents on the tailgate itself). Tires and wheels were installed within the last few thousand miles and look brand new. The headlights have "halo" rings that aren't currently connected. The pickup drives great and is problem free. It has three fuel tanks (one behind the seat and two side tanks), so even with a BBC this pickup has decent range. I'd feel comfortable driving it quite a ways from a reliability standpoint, but I'd recommend having it shipped due to the fact that it's a three speed auto with a 3K stall converter. It doesn't rev too high at freeway speeds (70 MPH/3K RPM), but would go through a lot of fuel if you're not in the western half of the country. Still, shipping will be cheaper as well as kinder to your investment. Anyone seeking more pictures of anything specific that I didn't get in the ones I have up can message me. I'm also reasonable as to holding the vehicle for a bit while shipping is arranged, but payment will still need to be made within the specified time listed. Mileage on the pickup shows 3X,XXX on the odometer, but has no more than 5K miles on the power/drivetrain. The wood in the bed is original and in usable condition without any significant issues. I had forgot to take any pictures of it, but can add one later if need be. Thanks for looking!

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
