This is my personal 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Super Sport. Yah, I know, there were no Corvair Super Sports. This is a one of a kind that I produced. The Super Sport strips were copied off a 1975 El Camino Super Sport by a local graphic arts company. I added the additional 2 taillights to complete the illusion. All tail light lens and trim rings are NOS parts. There are additional SS badges on the trunk lid and glove compartment door.

This car was repainted in 2003 before I bought it so I don't know what is under the paint but it sure looks good. I have replaced almost every piece of stainless steel trim on this car with NOS or reproduction pieces. I had the bumpers re-chromed.

The car has a new battery, cables, starter, alternator, distributer cap, electronic ignition, fuel pump, oil pressure sender, plugs, plug wires, carbs, aftermarket chrome air cleaners, fan belt (with spare),

I put reconditioned 14" Oldsmobile 442 wheels with new center caps and trim rings on the car. The tires are double red line from Coker Tire. I have put an ENTIRE new interior in the car with center console and new seat belts. I did build a rear speaker enclosure with two 6 x 9 speakers but have not hooked it up to any radio yet. I was going to put a modern radio under the passenger seat because I did not want to replace the working factory AM radio. The factory clock in the car does work but it decides when it's going to do so! The windshield washers do not work. I have added a lock to the engine compartment as these cars never had locking engine compartment lids.

There are NO leaks from this car other than a very minor occasional drip from the automatic transmission shift linkage 0-ring. The transmission fluid has been changed. The car has Mobile One 10w-30 oil in it. There are no squeaks or rattles in this car - it is solid.

The interior of the trunk looks brand new. The underside of the trunk and engine compartment lids look perfect. There is a brand NEW spare tire in the trunk. The Corvair currently has dual Harley Davidson Sportster mufflers on it so it has a "cackle"!

This car currently has 54,000+ miles on it that are supposedly original but I have no way of proving that fact. It was a one owner car when I bought it 5 years ago. The car spent its entire life in Atlanta, GA. I purchased it from the estate of the lady that bought it new. I have the original dealer window sticker and purchase paperwork to go with the car. She traded two Packards in on the car in 1965!

This car was at the national Corvair meet in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 2010 and got rave reviews from everyone that saw it.

I have invested over $15,000 in the restoration of this Corvair but am asking only $5995.00 because: The car has been garaged under a car cover since last fall when we were out for an ice cream cone drive. The engine developed a knock on the way home so it has a problem that needs repair. I currently would not attempt to drive it.

The winning bidder will have to PayPal a non-refundable $500 deposit immediately upon purchasing the car. This auction can be canceled at anytime as the car is also advertised locally and on Craig’s List. I have the clear Iowa title in my hands! Transaction types allowed are bank-to-bank wire transfers, US Postal Money Order, PayPal, or Cash. Cashier's checks and money orders are too easily counterfeited - Sorry!

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
