1966 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible Monza 110 hp 4 speed stick shift. For those that don't already know it is a flat 6 cylinder air cooled engine and is in the back of the car. Odometer reads 15,600 but I'm pretty sure that means it's really 115,600. This car is safe and ready to drive, I will be driving it on any nice day I can until it sells :( I love this car but it doesn't fit well with the family right now.
Engine runs good. The interior is in good condition and the body is in good condition with very little rust. I have done a bunch of work to this car but there is still more to be done. I will list the items that I have replaced and the ones that still need attention. The top needs replacing, it is in one piece so you can put it up but the seams are coming apart, it will not keep the rain out. I have been keeping it in my garage with the top down. The paint is ok but not perfect there are some bubbled up spots and nicks in it. There is some rust in the door jams, a few pin holes in the trunk and floorboards. This is a car that is ready to cruise around on a nice day as is and or fix it up as little or as much as you want. One thing is for sure is that wherever you go in it you will get thumbs up, honking, and lots of questions about this car. It is fun to drive by the way.
Replaced in the past year:
Clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing, pressure plate and related other small parts
Input shaft
Front break pads, wheel cylinders, and springs
Master cylinder upgraded to dual master cylinder
Some rear and front suspension bushings
Petronix ignitor installed in place of points
Flamethrower II ignition coil
clutch cable
convertible top boot
New dash pad
Replaced all UV joints
new plugs and wires
Replaced all dash light bulbs
There is more I just can't think of right off hand
Still needs attention:
Top needs to be replaced.
Engine leaks a little oil but it seems that all Corvair engines do
No heater
Original AM radio installed but not hooked up, I have a retro style radio with mp3 capability you can have with the car
Again, this car is safe (for a car built in 1966) and fun to drive as is and you will look cool in it.
If a buyer is far enough away that the car requires shipping, I am going to leave it up to the responsibility of the buyer to arrange the shipping but I will assist in coordination and loading in any way I can.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
