UP for Auction here is a 1965 Corsa Coupe 140 4 speed car. This car has lots of goodies so please read carefully.


Exterior   Black (Base Clear) has decent curb appeal a great 20 footer or driver quality car. Previous owner let it sit under a pine tree to long and the sap ate into the clear coat. I have done minor cleaning and polishing to bring it to it's current state. The Body shows one bad spot of rust bubbling under the paint on the drivers side just in front of the door. With one rust spot and a cheap paint job (Maaco) you could make this into a real head turner.

Interior   Black   Good carpet, New headliner, New door panels with matching rear cards. Stock rear seat in great condition not hard or cracking. Front seats are aftermarket fabric seats with black and grey charcoal  inserts.. Proper Corsa Dash  just completely re worked and Odometer rolled to 000000. Dash has new wrinkle finish and is fully functional except for the clock. Radio is a Sony CD player with front input jack for an mp3 player. Speakers are Alpine 6 x 9 in the rear window.  

Chassis   good mechanical condition. Previous owner did some Autocrossing with this car and every suspension joint is either Nylon or Delrin. Front has been converted to Disk brakes and it has a dual Master Cylinder. (DOT 5 Silicone Fluid) Rear end has a Corvette sway bar and it fits perfectly.  All springs are stock... not cut down or modified in any way.  Front end has Aftermarket Quick Steering arms and the shifter has a Quick Shift adaptor.

Engine / Drivetrain   Correct 65 transaxle is in the car it drives and shifts nicely. Engine is not the proper Coded RB block. It is however a late model 140 engine. The engine was internally inspected and the rod bearings looked perfect. The heads where extensively rebuilt with a complete new valve job and had the chambers cut to raise the compression to 10 to 1. It has a bolted and balanced flywheel with a new clutch disc. No oil Leaks ..  Dual exhaust is welded together and sounds good (not rusted out junk). Car can come either as pictured with 4 individual air filters or with a stock style snorkle air cleaner... your Choice... Engine has a MSD 6AL ignition system firing from a set of points in the dist. the fuel pump is electric.

Floor pans have all been replaced with new units from Clarks Corvair parts. I don't know how bad they where but the previous owner cut out the old and replaced them.

Everything Mechanically is good and it can be test driven and or driven home. 


The Bad   To be a real nice car it will need a paint job and minor exterior rust repair . Tires are worn it will need them soon.  Engine has a sometimes hearable wrist pin knocking.. I have personally checked the rod bearings and the condition of the internal engine and all is good. 

If you don't know my user name or me personally ,,, My shop builds and repairs Corvairs all the time and with the size of the Corvair community my name is well known. I wouldn't attempt to sell this car if it wasn't ready for a new owner to enjoy.

With that Said
It is a used car and please bid accordingly. Check out my feedback rating..

Some may ask why sell this car if it so good...  Bottom line is that I took this car as payment for performance engine work I did for a customer. I have put a ton of labor and parts into this car to bring it back to driver status and now I need to turn the car back into Capitol.

My reserve is set at what any running driving 65 Corsa Coupe should bring.. If the reserve isn't meet I will keep the car for a few months fix the rust and repaint it. then sell it for twice as much. Or buy it and pay me to do this work and when you get it it will be beautiful.




On May-18-13 at 07:18:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

Things to note that I forgot when listing the car... 


 The door jambs are solid no rust in them and the doors do not sag when opened.

 Trunk is solid no rusted through holes. A quick clean up and can or two of trunk splatter paint and it will look new.

 Windshield is a replacement aftermarket unit very good condition. (no scratches or nicks)

 I can provide any additional pics requested by serious bidders. All of the pictures in this auction where taken Friday the 17th of May. The car was  not cleaned up for the pictures. In these pictures it is currently covered in a coating of pollen.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
