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.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
