Long Beach, California, United States

 Up for auction is a nice 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 700 Deluxe.  This is a turn-key cruising car which starts right up, runs, and stops.  The car was restored recently and painted to match the original Honduras Maroon coloring from GM and any bodywork was done by a professional car dealer using two-stage urethane and clear coat.  When this car is polished it has the appearance of being wet so it is a great paint job.  Very little, if any, rust or body damage.  The entire underbody has been sealed with rust-proofing and floors are solid.  New chrome Cragar racing wheels with Goodyear rubberThe wheels look amazing on this Corvair.  E-brake holds the car safely and the Power-glide trans is good, no slipping.  All body chrome is smooth and nice - no excessive pitting.

Has the traditional Corvair air-cooled 6 cylinder engine in the rear.  Has had new coil, wires, plugs, points, rotor, rebuilt carbs, new chokes, newer fuel pump, oil filter, lube job, oil change, and rebuilt generator for a few years back.  The engine is powerful and runs well - drips very little oil and is clean.  The gas gauge doesn't register so I have a stick for that.  All lights and electrical system is good.  8,800 is the mileage shown on the odometer, 87,000 is assumed to be on the rebuilt engine.

Interior is sharp and has only one seam opened on the driver's back cushion, new designer Corvair carperts and a newer tape deck has replaced the old AM radio.  The windows were resealed when car was restored and doors latch and close easily.  The front truck is clean and in great shape.  Overall this is a handsome Corvair with tremendous curb appeal and runs like a champ!

Winner to pay with Cash in person, or paypal in advance as per arrangements.  $200 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours and balance due before pick-up and I can help load car if necessary.  Please ask any questions ahead of time, opinions on condition can sometimes vary so please ask.  Clear is for sale locally as well so snag it while you can.

Thanks for looking!

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
