1966 Chevrolet Short Bed C10 Panel 2 Door Suburban Rare 4.3 Vortec Auto 1/2 Ton on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
This is a rare 1966 Chevrolet Short Bed C10 Panel 2 Door Suburban with
rear "Barn Doors". Built in Fremont, California and it is still here in
Southern California. This was upgraded in 2013
with a 4.3 Chevy Vortec V6 and automatic transmission. Starts right up
and runs good. Drives nice, brakes stop quickly and the steering is
tight. The motor has lots of power and this 66 gets much better mileage
than it did with the old setup. The transmission shifts great. No
smoking and no leaks that I am aware of. The body has all
of the original panels and it is very straight and complete. The bucket
seats are nice and so is the dash. All original wood floor still in
place as shown.
These are few and far between, and they bring big money when they are finished. The 4.3 Vortec upgrade increases the fuel economy and makes it more reliable. I just had the carb cleaned last week and upgraded to an electronic fuel pump. No accidents. I took over 70 pictures to show it thoroughly and nothing is hidden. The passenger side glass is cracked but still rolls up/down, and I have an original replacement included. The floors and frame are also very clean as shown. I will work with international buyers. Feel free to email me with any questions and I will answer them thoroughly and honestly. I need to help fund my 64 Chevelle convertible project so I am letting this Panel go to a new home. |

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
