This is a 1966 Chevrolet C10 short wheel base stepside pickup truck with a 454 engine mated to a 350 3 speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain works, but will need some attention during the restoration of this truck for optimum performance and power. This truck has sat for awhile. I put a slow charge on the battery a couple of days ago. Battery is charged. It has a Griffin aluminum radiator, Holley double pump carburetor, HEI, Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, headers, great frame, a 12 bolt rearend, and dual Flowmaster exhausts(sounds like thunder). I started it up yesterday, drove it out of my driveway, and up the street for about 2 miles to make sure she would still move and stop. The lights work. The choke on the Holley acts up a bit at start up. I recommend towing the truck because I can't say that it can be trusted to make a long trip. I'll drive it, but I would not let my wife take off in it without a trip to the shop for a thorough evaluation. As previously stated I only drove it for 2 miles. The coolant level is fine, the water pump is working fine, and the brakes are working good. This truck needs a complete restoration. The rockers, hood, and bed all have some rust. The hood has been patched in the past with some metal and sheetmetal screws. Please see the photo of the passenger side of the hood. It will require expert fabrication or a new one. The driver's door has had a dent pulled out in the past. The windshield is cracked. There is good wood inside the bed, but it isn't correct for this truck. This 1966 Chevrolet has a great set of white letter tires mounted on rally wheels, a good frame, frame to body mounts, and a solid roof or top. Please see the photos for confirmation. I could only post 24. If you need more please let me know. Please ask any questions that you may have prior to bidding. I will give honest answers to help you make a good decision. Please only bid if you are sure that you can finish the transaction. I am located about 15 minutes north of downtown Atlanta,GA right off of I-85 in Duluth,GA 30096. I will assist you or your transport service with loading at pickup. The winning bidder will receive free and clear title, registration, and a notarized bill of sale. Thank you for your consideration.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
