1965 Chevrolet Corvair Base 2.7l on 2040-cars
Lodi, California, United States
|
Hello,
I bought this car as a project about 1.5 years ago. Had been in a garage in SF bay area for years. Had typical Corvair rust but the floors were in good shape because they look like they were heavily undercoated possibly when the car was bought new. I think Im the second or third owner. Speedo shows like 22,000 but not sure of the accuracy? I have done allot of body work and replaced lower windshield panel (Clarks Corvair piece). Most areas have been plated in others not. I was building it as a summer Rat Rod driver so I only wanted to get the body decent for a colored suede primer. Body still needs some work its in first prime but decent.I replaced left door as it had been damaged in the past. The windshield will need to be final fitted on lower corners but I have( no windshield) for it. Looks close and like I said lower corners probably will need final shaping after windshield is test fitted. I have most all the trim like outside handles and most mouldings. The power top actually works but it needs a new top. All the side glass is good. Front and rear bumpers are decent but not perfect. I have some extra misc parts like extra outside and inside door handles etc. I have most interior trim panels and rear seat and trim covers for power top mechanism but they all need to be redone as well as rear seats and carpet. Front seats are very clean original out of a 1964 Corvair Monza but obviously will need new covers to match.They fit well but need to be installed permanently. The dash has been partially redone and dash pad is nice. It has new headlamp switch. I remover the wiper assembly and heater ducts as i was going to drive it only in good weather and wanted the smooth look. I do not have these items but they could be reinstalled if a person wanted to. There is a new key cylinder for glove box installed. There is a very small rust out in front trunk floor smaller than a softball,no other anywhere that i have seen. Rear brake drums were turned and new shoes were installed,the front brakes will need to be done. The motor runs well I replaced the plugs and wires,rebuilt the carbs and redid some of the fuel lines.New alternator and regulator as well as new battery.New oil and filter. I replaced oil pan gasket but now I see the push rod tubes will need new o-ring set as they are leaking.There is no muffler but has stock header pipes. Transmission goes into all gears and acts like it is ok. I replaced oil pan gasket but I still have a leak at the trans selector shaft need seal kit. Has stock wheels with hub caps and decent tires. I have tried to be as complete and honest about all the details of the car. Its a PROJECT car and it will be a neat little summer driver when its done with not to much more work. Will help with loading. It can be started and driven onto a trailer. Has clean California with new plates, pink signed off. All questions answered! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Reason for selling I just bought a super sharp 1985 Corvette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
