Nice driver quality 65 Corvair Corsa convertible. Runs and drives great. Please watch the two videos. One is a walk around and the other is the car driving. The car can be used everyday without doing anything except changing the tires. You will get lots of comments like "did you restore it" and "I had one but it didn't look that nice" (just a few I heard this week). The car looks great at first glance but closer examination will reveal flaws. If you just want a nice daily driver or weekend cruiser then this is perfect. If you want a show car then it will need some work making it perfect. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. I am pretty critical of cars and it may sound like I am really downplaying the car but I just to make sure you have a good understanding of what you are bidding on. Nothing worse that being disappointed with a big purchase. Whoever wins this car is getting a very solid car that they can start using and enjoying right away. 

Pros-
New top a few years ago, still very nice.
Rear window clear and scratch free. 
Doors open and close nice, no sagging.
Just replaced seal between the top and the windshield.
Solid body and chassis.
Solid floors.
Runs great.
Nice interior.
No leaks, garage floor nice and clean still. 
All lights and signals work (including warning lights).
Clear title.
Original owners manual.
Starts easily on the first try.
Shifts good.


Cons-
Poor quality paint job. Bodywork appears that it was not done professionally. Car looks good as a driver quality but to be show worthy it would need attention.
Tires are old and should be replaced
Brakes pull to the left when pressed hard (possibly a sticky caliper)
Smokes a little under very hard acceleration ( car sat for a while and I have only driven it about 200 miles so I think just using it more will help)
Dash needs paint in places.
Original AM radio not working (does come with another radio that was working when I bought the car but I thought it was ugly so I took it out)
Originally would have been a 140hp engine, now a 110hp dual carb single exhaust
Tachometer, temp gauge and clock not working.
Steering shutters a bit at high speed (65mph and more), likely due to old tires. 
Steering is not as tight as it should be. Likely just old bushings


Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I can take more pictures of anything that you need to see better. I know it can be hard bidding on a car without seeing it in person which is why I included the videos. I encourage you to view the car in person. If needed I can deliver the car to a local mechanic of your choosing for closer inspection. You would be responsible for all costs. $500 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auctions end. I am only human and I can not possibly list every single detail about the car but if you find that the car has been grossly misrepresented your deposit will be refunded and the sale will be canceled. It is a good honest car and I know the buyer is going to happy with their purchase. I can store the car in my heated garage for a few weeks if needed as long as 50% payment is received.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
