This '67 Corvair Monza 4 door (the last year for the 4 door model) was the "laboratory play toy" of a previous owner. He made several changes/additions that make this car unique and desirable.
Options and refinements include: side marker lights, all 4 tail lights converted to stop/turn signal lights, Front DISC Brakes with power assist on all four brakes, under dash courtesy lights, remote control driver's door mirror, 4.11 POSITRACTION differential, in dash Factory Air conditioning with a recent Sanden compressor and working factory idle "kick up" switch, tinted glass, a unique engine cold air induction system, the RY code, 4 carburetor 140 horsepower engine with dual exhaust, 2 speed Powerglide transmission, deluxe seat belts, Kenwood in dash AM/FM single cd player with rear package shelf mounted 6 X 9 speakers, and removable antenna, adjustable TELESCOPING steering wheel with the "Quick Steering" (3 3/4 turns lock to lock) set up, clock that shows the correct time twice per day, factory front floor mats, finned valve covers and extra capacity, finned oil pan, oil filter adaptor that uses the larger Ford-size oil filter, a never used trailer hitch, chrome exhaust grille inserts, chrome gas cap filler door guard. I honestly have never seen another Monza Sport Sedan equipped like this one is!
The Marina blue paint is still smooth & shinny (age unknown with a few of the usual Corvair rust areas slowly surfacing--see pics), new Clark's Corvair driver's seat cushion foam padding, 4 recent carbs from Wolf Enterprises, Pertronix points elimination system, electric fuel pump with additional fuel filter, added "Fat Mat" style insulation under the fold down back seat/under rear window, upper door panels and dash board metal repainted, The factory headliner is intact, with a couple of small rips. The interior is as clean and desirable as the pics here indicate! The rear seat back cover would have to be changed to make it "Car Show" perfect; but is still useable as a "Daily Driver". The hard-to-find 13 inch whitewall tires have perhaps 100 miles on them.
I've owned this car for about 2 years. Because of multiple knee surgeries, limited recovery and constant pain I haven't been able to give this car the time and effort it needs to make it perfect. I've been storing it in my Mother's garage; but since she recently purchased a new car she wants her garage back.
The starter needs to be repaired/replaced, as it spins quickly but does not engage the engine 90% of the time. I just don't have the knee/body movement & flexability to take care of it. Before the starter issue happened I was trying to start it and run it a couple times per month. I've always kept gasoline additive/preservative in the tank.
Thanks to a recent pan gasket and "Rescue Tape" wrapped shift cable, the transmission is leak free. The engine weeps from a couple of the push rod tubes (typical of Corvairs). Only a small spot the size of a quarter; this car is NOT an "Exxon Valdez" leaker. The steering gear box is tight, with no center free play. The turn signal lever is also tight, with no slop and working properly.
The A/C needs a can or two of R-12 Freon to make it ice cold again. I will include a couple of cans with the car for your use.
Legal Stuff: This 46 year old car is being sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. The full amount of selling price will be required to be paid to me before I can release the car to you or your shipper.
I've tried to be honest and fair in my description of this car. If you have any questions, please email me. I check my email several times per day.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
