1966 Chevrolet Corvair 500 coupe with 110 hp engine. 72,495 miles. Automatic transmission. Runs great. I recently replaced the push rod tube O-rings, which stopped them from leaking oil. I have also installed new carburetors. a rebuilt starter, and rebuilt alternator. I have modified the exhaust for a better sound. I have installed a new fuel pump as well as new oil pan and valve cover gaskets. I also installed new spark plugs and wires. The body is in very good condition. All the original exterior trim and chrome are present and in very good condition. All lights work, including back-up lights; and all light lenses are present and in very good condition. I replaced the dented hood with an undamaged one and painted it with white primer. It looks fine as it is, but I did intend to repaint the entire car at some point. The car has its original hub caps, and I put new radial tires on it. All the glass is good. I recently replaced a cracked windshield with a new windshield and had the rear window resealed. When I bought the car, the front and back floor pans and metal bottom of the front luggage compartment were rusted, so I had new metal installed in each of those areas. The rear seat springs are rusted and will need to be replaced at some point. Otherwise the interior is in overall fair condition with attention needed to various things. The dash is in good shape. The clock and instruments all work. The original door panels are present and in fairly good condition but do need to be repaired. The seats need to be reupholstered but are presently covered with new vinyl covers. All the windows work. All original window handles, door handles, etc. are present and in good shape. The horn needs to be repaired. The heat duct was removed when the exhaust was modified, but I have not taken the time to reinstall it. This car can be driven just as it is with attention paid to fixing details at your leisure. It looks good and sounds good driving down the highway. People notice it, wave, and give thumbs-up every time I drive it.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
