Up for auction is my 1966 GMC Suburban.  It has a three speed column shift transmission  I haven't been able to check 

the engine with the VIN numbers but believe to be the original engine.  I've found the engine is the later version 305E.  
The design was for a strong torque engine with less speed ( 58 - 60 mph max ).  The engine runs very well and starts every 
time.  Will need to have a complete tune-up which I haven't been able to get around to.  It has no power steering, power 
brakes.  The brakes will also need to be gone through as it looses some fluid over time.  It doesn't seem to have any engine 
leaks that I can find.

Body :
There is one grape-fruit size dent on Lh quarter panel just in front of the rear bumper as shown in picture and has some of 
the usual rust problems lower fenders behind wheel on both sides.  Also rust in front of the rear wheels both sides lower 
quarter panels.  As shown in some of the pictures the hood also has rust issues around the seams and will need to be repaired 
soon. Also rust / pitting at lower, center area on both sides of rear window.  It seems a previous owner had it sanded and 
primed in gray but never got around to applying the top coat.  The front grill is getting pretty rusty particularly around the 
headlights.  The rocker panels on both sides will need to be replaced. Shocks need to be replaced.

Interior :
The condition is really excellent when compared to many suburbans of this era.  Metal work is straight, clean and rust free.  
The instrument panel has not been cut or chopped up.  The seats were upholstered sometime in the resent past and are nice. 
Passenger window operates while the driver window is difficult to roll down or up.  No issues opening / closing the doors and 
vent windows operate.  The heater does not work and looks to have had an after-market AC unit installed however the condenser 
has been removed with many other parts to the system.   Side windows both have the locking clips.  The floor is really solid.  
The gas gauge does not work and I believe the temperature gauge also does not work.  The speedometer works but kind of 
"jumpy" also has some noise probably from the cable being worn out.  Purchased period correct GMC AM radio.

Exterior :
Wipers barely work and will need to be repaired.  Lights work with the exception of the turn signal switch in the steering column 
and believe the cam needs to be replaced.  Will need all weather strips replaced.  Tires are pretty old. 

I've driven it on short trips, maybe 6 mile diameter around my property.  I wouldn't trust the brakes to go much further from my 
house.  Does have clear title.  This vehicle does not have any type of warranty.  Does not include spare tire.  Crack in windshield 
on driver side but does not impare vision.

This suburban is always a crowd favorite and gets a lot of attention any time I take it on the road.  It will make an excellent 
beginner to a complete, frame off restoration or for a relatively basic refurbishment.  Things have changed for me and won't have 
an opportunity to spend much time on it and have decided to sell to someone that will enjoy bringing " GUS " back to his former 
glory.

I can possibly help with loading the suburban but transportation / shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road

Tue, Sep 20 2022

Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands.   The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.

2017 GMC Acadia coming to Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Jan 7 2016

Well, it's about time. If there's one group of vehicles that are in serious need of an update, it's the GM Lambda crossovers. You know, the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave. They're super old. Good thing, then, that the brand-new Acadia is coming to the Detroit Auto Show next week, as evidenced by this teaser image found on the company's Facebook page. There's not much to see here, except for an LED taillamp signature on what appears to be a much cleaner rear end. We expect the three-row CUV to feature all of the latest GM tech, including a robust infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. V6 power and optional all-wheel drive makes sense here, too, though we won't rule out some kind of four-cylinder option. When GM launched the Lambda crossovers, the Acadia arrived first in late 2006, alongside the now-discontinued (but still very much present in the current Acadia) Saturn Outlook. The Buick Enclave came next, and the Chevy Traverse arrived after that. It's unclear if GM will stick with this rollout plan, of course, but one thing's for sure: all-new versions of these CUVs cannot come soon enough. Related Video:

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
