 Great old Chevy pickup...  use it as an occasional hauler / rider or do a full/partial restore for show/fun.   I've owned this truck for about 6 years, put about 6 thousand miles on her...  bought it from an old friend who owned it for almost 40 years, bought it from the original owner.   She's all original except for the wheels, tires and replacement exhaust (which is routed as original) and, yes, the original AM radio works.   When I bought it, I did and/or had quite a bit of work done to prep it for the drive from Denver to Tucson...  that's right, drove it, didn't ship it.   I had the front end gone over, lower ball joints, a tie rod end or two, alignment, plus water pump, hoses, tune up, wheel bearing repack, new seals, steering box adjust, valve adjust, etc.  Did the brakes all around, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, a couple brake lines.   Got replacement tires and wheels, a new gas tank (old one was starting to rust), a new windshield (installer took a beating on that one), battery, 'temporarily' topped the old bed boards (still haven't gotten around to permanently replacing those), transmission rebuild w/clutch, replacement exhaust all the way back, all fluids, filters, a bulb or two, etc and off we went.    Drove the whole 1000 miles or so (back way, two lanes) replacing just one taillight bulb (missed that one)...  great fun.   Complements all along the way.    Over the past 6 years, I've done things as I've had time...  left front fender, all side window glass, another battery (heat here is hell on batteries), speedometer rework, carburetor rebuild, clutch slave cylinder, valve adjust, valve cover gasket, oil and filter at least every 6 months, regardless of miles.   She's been garaged most of the time the past 6 years, all of the past 5.   Starts every time, with appropriate choke/pump, and does whatever asked...  haul grandkids on hay bails for trick-or-treating, dirt/gravel/wood occasionally, a trip to the dump once in a great while, or just a ride for the memories.   Drives down the road way better than my motorhome...  a little play in the steering (probably needs another steering box adjust) but goes straight down the road with no complaints/pull/wiggle/shake...  just like they used to when maintained right.   I have over $7000 in her without my labor...  bid early and often and she could be yours for far less.    I just don't have the time to do her right...  hopefully you do.

 She still runs fine, and doesn't burn any oil, not a bit of smoke.   But, like nearly all old Chevy (and other) trucks, she leaks oil.   Probably drops about 3/4 to 1 quart between oil changes, mostly while running or just after, mostly from the front main seal and some from the rear main seal.   If you zoom in, you can probably see the caked-on-oil on the undercarriage beneath the engine.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain technical details

Wed, Feb 11 2015

The last time General Motors launched a Chevy Volt, it was operating without really knowing how people would use the plug-in hybrid. Sure, it had experience with the EV1, but the Volt was a new kind of car, and you can see in the archives just how much time GM spent explaining this fresh, new powertrain to potential customers. Then, once the vehicle was released, the company collected voluntary data from a large number of owners to learn about their driving and charging habits. The company also asked them what they wanted most in the new version. There's got to be an algorithm buried somewhere in GM headquarters that was used to take all of the numbers GM collected and spat out the headline figures for the 2016 Volt: 50 miles of EV range and 41 miles per gallon. Another important number – price – is something GM isn't talking about yet (expect it in April or May), but the company is sharing some powertrain details about the upcoming car. At a preview lunch in Detroit last week for the SAE 2015 Hybrid & Electric Vehicles Technologies Symposium that's happening now in California, GM engineers Peter Savagian (who is presenting a paper on the new inverter used in the updated Volt) and Tim Grewe (talking about the entire second-generation powertrain) sat down with AutoblogGreen to tell us about the Volt's all-new propulsion system: The overall gist is that the new Voltec 5ET50 drive unit is lighter, smaller and more powerful thanks to a redesigned two-motor traction drive. As previously reported, the new engine is a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder that offers 101-horsepower (at 5,600 RPM). Grewe said it's "great for range extension." The electric motor side of the powertrain offers 149 motoring horsepower from a two-motor, continuously variable transaxle. Initially, the new engine will be made in Mexico. GM will move production to Flint, MI during the first year it makes the 2016 Volt. The battery is slightly bigger in the new Volt – 18.4 kWh compared to 16.5 in the current-gen – and will have less range variation in the cold. GM is also using more of the overall capacity in the pack in the 2016 Volt than in previous versions, but is not saying how much more. GM is not ready to publish acceleration times just yet, but the 2016 Volt has improved numbers, especially when going from 30-60 miles per hour. Most everything on the new powertrain has become more efficient compared to the first-gen Volt.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
