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 execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
