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.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
