Updated 1966 Chevelle Up for Grabs


Technicians who know the importance of learning about today’s cars will have a chance to win one from yesteryear in the second annual Federal-Mogul TEC Training Excellence Sweepstakes.
Up for grabs is an updated 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. Sponsored by the Federal-Mogul Technical Education Center (TEC) in St. Louis, Mo., the sweepstakes is open to any automotive technician, machinist or parts professional who attends a 2006 TEC workshop in St. Louis, an evening field seminar in the U.S. or Canada, or who enrolls via mail.
Federal-Mogul TEC delivered its 2005 sweepstakes grand prize a 1966 Chevrolet El Camino SS to winner Brad LaRue, a Ponca City, Okla., technician, in December.
The street-ready Chevelle Malibu being offered in the 2006 sweepstakes features a fully updated engine, four-speed transmission, power steering and restored body and interior.
Technicians attending 2006 TEC workshops in St. Louis will help complete a broad range of technology updates on the vehicle, with the addition of new Sealed Power internal engine components, Fel-Pro gaskets, Moog steering and suspension components, Precision u-joint, National wheel bearings and seals, Carter fuel delivery components, Champion spark plugs, PowerMAX spark plug wires, ANCO wiper blades, Wagner brake components, and Wagner headlamps.
“We’re once again enhancing a classic street machine with the latest premium technologies from Federal-Mogul’s aftermarket product portfolio,” said Bruce Maize, director, technical service and customer support, Federal-Mogul. “Every aftermarket professional who attends a TEC workshop or field training clinic comes away with rewards in the form of increased knowledge and skill, but this beautiful car will make the experience even more memorable.”
Federal-Mogul TEC offers a full range of on-site and field training workshops covering engine, steering and suspension, driveline, brake, fuel system, ignition, and automotive electronics. Courses are taught by ASE Master Certified instructors and utilize the latest diagnostic tools and equipment.
The Technical Education Center has been awarded the Continuing Automotive Service Education (CASE) certification, joining such leading organizations as General Motors Service Technology Group, Toyota Motor Sales USA and Navistar International as a premier provider of technical training.
