This is a very special Corvair. I puchased the car several years ago from a dealership, as it had been a trade in. I suspect that whoever had this super restoration done probably passed and whoever inhertied the car didn't know what it was.
This car is totally professionally rebuilt from top to bottom. Every part of the car is like brand new, ie wiring, lights, chrome, engine, tranny, interior, underbody, trunk, engine compartment, the more you look, the better it gets.. There is not one spec of rust anywhere, no body dings, suspension is outstanding, tranmission is tight, and the motor runs very will, with th 4 carb setup (this is a 1965 engine)
I had the carbs rebuilt by a long time dedicated Corvair mechanic in Black Mountain NC and he fixed the gas tank float while he had it. I also replaced both rear axel bearings with rebuilt units from Clarks Corvair. Other than that, I've driven to NC to have the title validated with there investigation which is required on all cars over 15 years old. This is to verify that the car wasn't stolen, rebuilt,, kit car, etc and mine passed just fine. The trip added over 1,000 miles to the car and it was a very nice ride, especially with the cruise control.
The car probably started out life as a Monza, but is now Spydered as far as badging and dash. As stated the engine is the 1965 140hp model, the seats are cloth from some other car, the tilting steering wheel with the cruise paddle is out of a later model Chevy. Look at the pictures, they really show the quality of this car, especially take not of the trunk and the dual master cylinder , boosted brake job. No one I've talked to has seen this in a Corvair. And the attention given to the engine bay, it is a work of art itself. Power top works perfectly and there is a white boot cover, but I don't use it as I put the top up and down a lot.
This car needs absolutely nothing, it's perfect as it is. So if you buy it, just drive it and change the oil.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
