1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza on 2040-cars
Whitestone, New York, United States
|
This is my beauty. I have had it for about 5 years and I have done everything I possibly could to it, except for some minor stuff. It runs great. It turns heads. Every time I take it out or to car shows, I get a huge crowd. It even beat out a 1960's Ferrari in a vintage stock class, judged by spectators. I can't begin to list everything I have changed in this car over the last 3 years or so, but I'll try. First of all, a professionally done brand new paint job just about a month old. As close to stock as I could, though it is called Ferrari Red. All new suspension with nothing but the best parts. New carpet, new seat covers and padding, all new gaskets and oil cooler to make the driveway floor bone dry. An electronic ignition kit to avoid wet point stalls. New radial tires, new interior pieces, etc,etc,etc. Meticulously maintained by a service place familiar with classic cars. Winter stored and summer covered. New duel exhaust system. The only thing I haven't changed yet is the convertible top. It has some imperfections and small tears. I was about to do that, but.. Other nuances are the working stock AM/FM radio with sliding tune bar ( not easy to find and expensive when you do). Rear speakers and a hidden CD player in the "trunk" . The interior metal parts of the door may have a few small scratches here and there, but not a big deal. Bottom line is you would be getting a beautiful classic car that has very little left to do to. It will turn heads by its beauty and unusual details. Why am I selling it? Well, I saw a car that I have always wanted and I want to give it a shot at getting it. If I sell this car, I will get that one. That why it will be a short time line to buy. If I sell it, fine. If not, at least I tried. I have been struggling with this decision for a while. If you know Corvairs, you know what a nice version this is.Anyway, good luck. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. The speedometer show 64031. Frankly , I don't know if that is the mileage or it is 164031, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't matter. The engine is pristine, New top of the line fan belt, as well. I will throw in a couple of boxes of parts that I got when I first bought it. Good stuff, including a carbo in its original box. And finally I'll throw in some memorabilia like old advertisementss, catalogs and users manual that I acquired. The trophies stay with me , though. The RESERVE is very close to the selling price. As I said, I need a quick turnaround or nothing at all. I am relisting this because I did purchase another car that I have been looking for. I have relisted at a reduced price. Good luck to all. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
