Presented here is a beautiful 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible in Silver Blue. Comprehensively restored for several years and completed about two years ago, this 1964 Corvair was rebuilt as a top notch, frame-off build with no corners cut. The gorgeous Silver Blue finish is brilliant and glossy. The bodywork was expertly restored and refinished, showing no signs of age and minimal evidence of use since it was completed. Paint quality is impressive, more so than photos can show. Panel fit is excellent, and all of the chrome was redone and remains in first-class condition.

The shiny white interior is as fresh as the bodywork and a testament to how clean and well-maintained the car has been cared for. Everything was replaced when the work was done, including seat covers, carpets, and door panels, with all of it using correct materials and patterns. The gauges are fully functional and original, and so is the AM stereo radio. The white canvas convertible top is brand new and the rear plastic window is without any fade whatsoever. The front trunk has been fully carpeted, including a custom cover for the spare tire.

Under the rear hood is a 164 cubic inch, air-cooled 4-cylinder, four-carburetor engine that is completely trouble-free. The engine reliably starts every single time, even when cold. The transmission is a 4-speed manual, and it shifts well and has good strong, acceleration. No smoke of any color from the exhaust. Brakes are straight and true, with all new brake components in all four wheels.

It starts and runs beautifully, the interior is big and comfortable, and all components are brand new. This Corvair was a no-expenses-spared restoration by someone that did it "for the memories" of their youth, and now must regrettably be sold. If you're looking for a Corvair with all components brand new, ready to shine every time it is driven, and restored to last another couple of decades, look no further.

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.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
