Up for auction is my 1966 GMC Suburban.  It has a three speed column shift transmission  I haven't been able to check 

the engine with the VIN numbers but believe to be the original engine.  I've found the engine is the later version 305E.  
The design was for a strong torque engine with less speed ( 58 - 60 mph max ).  The engine runs very well and starts every 
time.  Will need to have a complete tune-up which I haven't been able to get around to.  It has no power steering, power 
brakes.  The brakes will also need to be gone through as it looses some fluid over time.  It doesn't seem to have any engine 
leaks that I can find.

Body :
There is one grape-fruit size dent on Lh quarter panel just in front of the rear bumper as shown in picture and has some of 
the usual rust problems lower fenders behind wheel on both sides.  Also rust in front of the rear wheels both sides lower 
quarter panels.  As shown in some of the pictures the hood also has rust issues around the seams and will need to be repaired 
soon. Also rust / pitting at lower, center area on both sides of rear window.  It seems a previous owner had it sanded and 
primed in gray but never got around to applying the top coat.  The front grill is getting pretty rusty particularly around the 
headlights.  The rocker panels on both sides will need to be replaced. Shocks need to be replaced.

Interior :
The condition is really excellent when compared to many suburbans of this era.  Metal work is straight, clean and rust free.  
The instrument panel has not been cut or chopped up.  The seats were upholstered sometime in the resent past and are nice. 
Passenger window operates while the driver window is difficult to roll down or up.  No issues opening / closing the doors and 
vent windows operate.  The heater does not work and looks to have had an after-market AC unit installed however the condenser 
has been removed with many other parts to the system.   Side windows both have the locking clips.  The floor is really solid.  
The gas gauge does not work and I believe the temperature gauge also does not work.  The speedometer works but kind of 
"jumpy" also has some noise probably from the cable being worn out.  Purchased period correct GMC AM radio.

Exterior :
Wipers barely work and will need to be repaired.  Lights work with the exception of the turn signal switch in the steering column 
and believe the cam needs to be replaced.  Will need all weather strips replaced.  Tires are pretty old. 

I've driven it on short trips, maybe 6 mile diameter around my property.  I wouldn't trust the brakes to go much further from my 
house.  Does have clear title.  This vehicle does not have any type of warranty.  Does not include spare tire.  Crack in windshield 
on driver side but does not impare vision.

This suburban is always a crowd favorite and gets a lot of attention any time I take it on the road.  It will make an excellent 
beginner to a complete, frame off restoration or for a relatively basic refurbishment.  Things have changed for me and won't have 
an opportunity to spend much time on it and have decided to sell to someone that will enjoy bringing " GUS " back to his former 
glory.

I can possibly help with loading the suburban but transportation / shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

Roadkill pits every project car against each other

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
