NEW FRONT BRAKES AND WHEEL CYLINDERS
REAR  BRAKES GOOD AND 4 NEW TIRES. (200 miles on them)
NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ~ FRESH TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE

THIS CAR SHOWS 16,000 ON THE ODOMETER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A MAN WHO HAD BOUGHT IT FROM AN ESTATE.
 HE "ASSUMED" IT WAS 116,000 DUE TO THE CARS AGE. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING WORKED ON IT AND EXAMINING IT FURTHER, I BELIEVE IT MAY ACTUALLY BE ONLY 16,000 MILES. THESE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS I BELIEVE THAT.

*THE SPARK PLUG WIRES ARE STAMPED "DELCO", WHICH WAS GM'S WIRES USED IN THE 1966 TIME PERIOD.

* THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NO WEAR AT ALL, NOR DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE WEAR FROM SWITCHING FROM BRAKE TO GAS.

* THE FRONT SEAT "PIPING" AROUND THE SEAT BACK WHERE YOU WOULD GET IN AND GET OUT HAS NO WEAR, NOR DOES THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARMREST OR DOOR PANEL TOP.

* THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS ARE IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAT HAS LITTLE WEAR.

* THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL, BOOKLETS, AND "PROTECT-O-PLATE" (VERY RARE) ARE STILL WITH THE CAR.

*THE ORIGINAL 4 RIMS AND 4 FACTORY HUBCAPS ARE IN THE TRUNK IN GREAT CONDITION. NO DENTS OR DINGS ON WHEEL COVERS

*THE HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE IN THE CAR ARE "T-3"'S AND ARE DATE CODED 1965.

*THE BATTERY CLAMP IS STILL AN ORIGINAL 1966 STYLE SPRING CLAMP.

I AM TOLD THIS CAR SAT IN A GARAGE FOR MANY YEARS, (Last inspected 1984), HOWEVER FOR ABOUT THE PAST 7 YEARS IT SAT OUTSIDE, THUS THE TOP SURFACE RUST. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A NICE PAINT JOB AND SOME OTHER MINOR ISSUES TO BRING BACK TO HER ORIGINAL GLORY.

THE CAR ALSO COMES WITH ITS 4 ORIGINAL STEEL RIMS AS WELL AS ITS 4 WHEEL COVERS THAT ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (NO DINGS!) PROTECT-PLATE AND MANUALS INCLUDED.

THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE IN THE CARB BUT IS AN EASY FIX. THERE ARE TWO SPOTS IN THE TRUNK THAT NEED ATTENTION AS WELL. (SEE PHOTOS)

THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME , INNER AND OUTER ROCKERS, ARE SOLID. ALL ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS AND ARE SOLID AS WELL.....NO PATCHES!. THE FACTORY RADIO IS IN TACT BUT IS NOT WORKING. SURFACE RUST ON ROOF, HOOD AND TRUNK.

THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER(VERY SMALL TEAR) AND REAR SEAT LOOK AWESOME.
FRONT SEAT MATERIAL INSERTS NEED ATTENTION BUT THE VINYL PART OF THE SEAT IS LIKE NEW. A REAL NICE CLASSIC/ANTIQUE THAT CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED "AS IS" OR WHILE YOU ARE FIXING HER UP.

THE CARBURETOR NEEDS A REBUILD AS THE FLOAT HANGS UP ONCE IN A WHILE.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE ENGINE IT SMOKED. I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND ADDED A QUART OF MARVEL MYSTERY OIL TO SOFTEN UP THE VALVE GUIDE SEALS ETC. THE CAR BARELY SMOKES AT ALL BUT AT TIMES THERE IS SOME WHEN FIRST STARTING. I BELIEVE THAT AS IT IS DRIVEN IT WILL CLEAR UP COMPLETELY.. THERE IS SURFACE RUST ON THE ROOF AND SOME OF THE HOOD. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUST STARTING AROUND REAR WINDOW.

THE TWO TRUNK CORNERS ARE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION. SEE PHOTO. THEY DO SELL THE PANELS FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS A COMMON AREA FOR RUST IN THESE CARS. AGAIN...ALL FLOOR PANS ARE ORIGINAL AND SOLID.
BUMPERS AND GRILLE ARE STRAIGHT AND CLEAN.  I CHECKED REAR BRAKES AND THEY ARE GOOD AS ARE BRAKE CYLINDERS. THE FRONT BRAKE CYLINDER WAS SEEPING SO I REPLACED BOTH FRONT CYLINDERS AND BRAKES/HARDWARE.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPAIR ON EACH REAR QUARTER BEHIND THE WHEEL. (NOT DONE BY ME).

THIS CAR CRUISES VERY NICELY DOWN THE ROAD. STEERS LIKE ITS ON AIR, AND TRACKS STRAIGHT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL (NOT RECOMMENDED..LOL). WITH A LITTLE TLC SHE WILL BE A VERY NICE CLASSY CRUISER.

YOU HAVE READ THE ABOVE FACTS...   116,000 OR 16,000 ? i HONESTLY CANT ADVERTISE IT AS 16,000, BUT THAT IS MY OPINION... BUT EVEN IF IT WAS 116,000...THAT IS STILL GOOD MILEAGE FOR A 1966. THE ENGINE PURRS. 
ORIGINAL JACK IS IN TRUNK AS WELL.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL SHIPPING COSTS. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD "AS IS". WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY EXPRESSED, SPOKEN OR IMPLIED. I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS OPEN AND HONEST WITH THIS CAR AS I COULD. MY FEEDBACK RATING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
BUYER TO PAY A $500 NON RETURNABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL OR CASHIERS CHECK WITHIN 5 DAYS END OF AUCTION. BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 10 DAYS END OF AUCTION DATE OR BUYER LOSES THE DEPOSIT.

THIS VEHICLE IS BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AS WELL. SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK BEFORE YOU BID.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES, PLEASE DO NOT BID. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEED BACKS, SELLER HAS THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT THE BID. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
