1965 Chevy Corvair Greenbrier 6 Door Van on 2040-cars
Kenner, Louisiana, United States
|
Well the time has come to thin the herd. For your consideration, a very nice drive quality Greenbrier Van. Last year of production, under 1900 built. I have done all of the big things to get the van right. The van was originally light blue. Decent re-paint to a better color. The van rides and stops very nice. Steering box rebuilt, steel lines replaced,( brake, fuel, transmission cooler). Engine re-sealed, trans mount rebuilt, motor mount, engine compartment wire harness replaced. Belt, spark plug wires, blower bearing all replaced. New Spark plugs and Petronix ignition module. Fuel Tank cleaned and resealed, new Clark's stainless steel fuel pick up and sending unit. Tires are fairly new as the battery. The under carriage has been cleaned, chem primed and painted black. Clark's steering stabilizer installed. Things I still wanted to do, fuel gauge seems to have a bad ground at the dash. Transmission shifts out of low gear a little too soon for me. Transmission cooler has started to leak a little. I would put the breaker points plate back in the distributor and ditch the Petronix. That is a good weekend worth of work to put the van in finished shape. I looked long and hard for a 1965 Greenbrier before I found this one and plan on keeping it forever, but grand kids and life have changed my priorities. I am also selling my 1964 Rampside and my 1965 Monza convertible. The van needs to be driven and enjoyed. I have not put 200 miles on it since the three years I have owned it. Please ask questions before bidding. Buyer is responsible for lining up shipping and shipping cost.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
