1966 Corvair Monza Convertible on 2040-cars
Fort Gratiot, Michigan, United States
|
1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible. This car was purchased new in 1966 by an engineer who worked at the General Motors Desert Proving Grounds in Mesa, Az. It is an original, totally rust-free Arizona vehicle. It was purchased by a friend of mine in 1985 and moved to Algonac, MI. It was well maintained, rarely driven, and properly stored. I purchased the car from my friend's wife in 2010, have driven it on special occasions, and kept it in heated storage--it has never seen any snow or cold! This car is an original survivor and in extremely nice original condition. It has the 4-carb 140 HP engine, dual exhaust, power top, original black vinyl interior. The car comes with the Owner's manual, sales brochure, original Parts and Accessories Manuals, GM Assembly Instructions (fairly rare item) and extra parts. Because I liked the appearance, and because 13 in. tires were getting hard to come by, I had 4 new 15 in. "Old School" Brand Mag type wheels and Kumho tires installed in 2012--there are probably less than 300 miles on these new tires. I did not save the original 13 in. wheels and wire-wheel hub caps. The car rides and handles very nicely. The paint appears original, but sometime between new and 1985, the car was touched-up and repainted with the original Madeira Maroon Lacquer. It is showing some small blistering in spots but very presentable. The carbs could use adjusting to improve starting. Vehicle runs excellent. It would be tough to find a nicer original car than this.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
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.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
