For sale to settle an estate is a very rare, 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside pickup truck aka "FC" (Forward Control)-Flat 6 cylinder /4 speed manual /145 CID).  This vehicle is very well known to all of the Detroit Area Air Coolers and was noted last week by the DAAC Founder and fellow Corvair expert as “Not perfect, but she’s the nicest one you will find.  If you want one better, head on over to Jay Leno’s Garage and plan on spending 50K”.  This Rampside has earned many accolades including a wall full of trophies, countless wins at local shows and, as you see from one of the pictures, was a feature vehicle at the Sloan Museum 100th Anniversary Show from May through September 2011.   Mom & Dad have owned and loved this truck since 1992 and the truck was the subject of a bottom to top renovation.  Since then, it has only seen 2 things, sunshine and dry roads or the soft side of a custom-fit cover (included) while parked in the garage.  It is not a rust free vehicle, but is clean, clean, clean as you can see from the pictures and you can listen to the video to hear it run.  The engine starts every time and the transmission shifts grind-free with confidence from 1st through 4th.  The tires are like new (see pictures) and the battery is new as well.  She starts every time, RUNS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT so the bottom line is, this Rampside is Parade Ready!!!    As for things that need some attention, the passenger door requires higher than normal effort to shut, but will close and lock properly and maybe I am picky but it closes every time.  I could be spoiled by the driver’s door, ramside, and tail gate which all function flawlessly with fingertip efforts!  The horn does not work.  The choke seems hard to pull, but is not required even on a cool Michigan morning.  The transmission is generating a few drops of fluid per day.  This vehicle is for sale locally as well and the seller reserves the right to remove this vehicle from eBay Motors at any time.


WARNING:  Do not buy this vehicle unless you like to have pleasant conversations and receive compliments at every stoplight, every restaurant, every gas station, corner store, car show, or basically anywhere there are other folks around.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
