67 Corvair 327 V8 Kelmark Conversion. Project No Reserve on 2040-cars
Arlington Heights, Illinois, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: reversed transaxle
Model: Corvair
Mileage: 99,999
Trim: none
67 CORVAIR with an SBC 327 installed in the rear-seat area via a KELMARK bellhousing. This vehicle was running (under V8 power) until we decided to rebuild the engine. We lost our workspace and are tired of paying to store it. Our original plan was to get everything worked out and running then transfer the drivetrain to a perfect-body late model Corvair.
This is an almost-complete project for a street racer. Rebuilt 327 (about 5 years ago has never been fired. 4 speed, Saginaw. Exhaust is complete. Body is in need of minor repair and paint. See the pictures. The trunk and hood lids are excellent, the rear quarters and doors very good. Rear grill is missing. Needs body work for lower pass front fender (pic), both lower Qs (pic) and front of pass fender (pic). All glass is good, no cracks or chips. Front and rear bumpers are good. Stainless trim is good. Wheels and tires are good. U-joints are new. No battery. A new aluminum radiator is supplied but not installed. The radiator was mounted in the original engine compartment and fan-driven. We did not want to cut-up the front end. The cooling was adequate and the car did not overheat. Fans are not included. Original pressure place and clutch cover were re-surfaced and a new friction disk installed. New internally regulated alternator and distributor are included but not installed. There is no interior or dash. A section of the dash was cut out. It was transferred to another Corvair that had a rusted-out vent area. The reverse would be necessary to restore this one. The fix was seamless on the recipient car: no reason to expect differently on this one. Simple body work, same as for other areas that need attention. Shift linkage needs to be built. The engine and transaxle mounts are all done and very cleanly installed. There are no unfinished or sharp sheet metal edges as found in many of these conversions. See the pics. Title is clear. There is no lock cylinder for the trunk or ignition key. Door panels, vent panels, visors, dash pad and instrument panel are in the trunk, in good condition. This project must be flatbed-trailered from Arlington Heights, Il, about 40 miles NW of Chicago. This is a PROJECT. It will require an above-average knowledge of mechanical things to complete. If you are not up to the task, please do not bid. If you don't have your wife's approval, please do not bid. If you don't have the money, do not bid. This is your chance to finish a Corvair V8 at a VERY LOW PRICE. |

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

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.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy'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.
