Up for auction is this beautiful 1966 Chevelle SS. Ok, lets start with the basics. Yes, This is a real SS big block car. The Cowl tag sports the numbers 13817 on the firewall. See attached picture for more info. This mean it was and always will be a Big Block SS. However, the original 396 that was in the car is not in the car any longer. It has been replace with a smooth running 454. It does however have a Borg Warner 4 speed manual transmission. Not sure if its the original one or not. I will try to determine that for those that are interested. Mechanically this car is in great condition. Runs and drives great. Plenty of power and transmission is topped off by a smooth shifting hurst shifter. No problems with overheating in any conditions. Traffic or not she stays cool. The rear end is a 12 bolt posi trac unit. Not sure if its original but its perfect. Not sure on the final drive ratio. I will work on that as well for those interested. Please ask. I can say its a good road gear. Purrs at 60 mph.

Ok, now to the outside, the paint on the car is good. I'd rate it a 8.5 out of 10. Its been painted for several years. The chrome on the bumpers is near perfect as is the stainless. The wheels are 8" Corvette rallys. The beauty rings are like new. The center caps are showing a little age. Some minor pits. (see pics). All taillights, brake lights, turn signals, headlights etc. work perfectly. The hood is really the only problem with the exterior of this car. It is an aftermarket fiberglass hood. The fitment is a little off as it doesn't line up properly with the arch of the front fenders. It can be pressed down after closing but needs done after opening. This is what you see in the pics. Just want to try and explain all things that are wrong as well. But remember, this is a real SS big block we are talking about. These are all minor things. This car is worth big money completely restored. This car is an excellent driver. However, not show quality. I would not hesitate to drive it and enter it in all local cruise ins and car shows. Its a beautiful car. The car has manual front disk brakes, power steering, and a slick 4 speed which make it a blast to drive. There is no rust on the body, floor pans are solid as is the trunk area. A very solid car. I think the rear quarter panels have been repaired along the lower portion. A patch panel on each side. Work done several years ago and a very good job in this area.

The interior has black bucket seats and a factory console. The console is original to the car so it shows a little sing of wear. Some minor pitting but still looks great. The carpet also shows a little sign of wear but is still in great shape. The seats have been recovers to original and look perfect. The fuel gauge works but no other do. No radio. All glass is perfect and roll up and down perfectly. Again, these are all minor things but I'm trying to tell all the problems as well. This car doesn't need much money spent on it to make it great.

This baby ruled the road in 1966 and is a true prized possession, but she has to go. Someone is getting a true piece of American history. Good Luck and Happy Biding.

Just a little more information. After talking to the previous owner, It has been brought to my attention that the transmission and rear end are original to the car.  As mentioned before the shifter has been changed to a Hurst but that's is. Also, a correction on the body work. The body work and paint are only about a year and a half old. The car was taken all the way down to bare metal. The only repair made was a small patch panel on the passenger quarter panel. The driver side is all original. The engine has been rebuilt and has less than 1000 miles on rebuild. Work done by a professional engine shop in Charleston, WV (Givens). Still not sure on the HP but its strong.  Thanks for looking.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
