1963 Chevrolet Corvair 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, United States
|
1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900. 2 door coupe. Paint is good but passenger fender has a dent that has been pulled and is ready for repair, has been painted red to keep from rusting. (picture attached) Hood and Bumper were not effected. Engine and carbs totally rebuilt. This car runs fantastic. All wheel cylinders have been rebuilt and 4 speed transmission has been serviced as well as differential. Car has new tires, gas tank and floor pans. Car also has original FM radio that works and this model has the antenna in the back of the vehicle which is not a very common feature. Car was originally dark blue and has light blue seats that have some tears. Clark's Corvair sells seat covers to convert the seats to black for about $400. Interior has new carpet. Car also needs a headliner but Clark's sells them for $100. Door panels are newer and are black. Glass is all intact and in good shape. Wipers work. Car is from Georgia and the only rust I can see is a bubble on the rear deck lid. The deck lid came off of a 64 spyder and was painted to match when the car was painted. Interior of car has been painted dove gray. I think it will look very good with black seats and a black or white headliner. Dash has no cracks, all lights and signals work. Mechanically the car only needs an emergency brake cable. Since it's a manual transmission I just park it in gear. Odometer works but speedometer started acted funny yesterday on my way home. I believe it's the cable but have not checked it. All the corvair forums say this is a very common occurrence in the 60-64 body model. I will unhook the speedometer as it is making a roaring noise at the moment but that should solve the noise. I have found a 63 speedometer on ebay for as little as $15 so lubing the cable and getting a speedo that works won't be much of an issue. I just bought the car. I like it because it can be gotten in and driven anywhere. The last 2 corvairs I have had were both projects and unable to be driven. This one could be super nice with a little work and none of the work is hard for even a novice to do (except the painting of the fender) I bought it with intentions of keeping it but I am really more fond of the 65-69 body style so I want to sell this one and focus on finding one of those. Reserve is reasonable. I am not in any way pressed to sell it and if I don't get what I need I will have the fender repaired and keep it. This is the perfect opportunity for someone to have an above average example that can be daily driven for not a ton of cash. Car is located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky which is an hour north of Nashville, Tn. I can assist with shipping but the cost will be the responsibility of the buyer. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
