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.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
