Up for auction 1969 Corvair 500 2 door hardtop. This Carvair has only 4546 miles and has not been on the road since 1971. The car was in one family and went to the son after the death of his father. I purchased the car from the son's estate. It is all original except for the gas tank and sending unit that I replaced due to it having junk in the bottom of the tank. I do have the original tank and it will go with the sale of the car if the owner would like it and also the original battery that is in poor shape but very interesting with vented caps (check pictures). I have the original window sticker and protec-o-plate and several other papers from the dealer where the car was purchased.
The car although having such low miles is not without some flaws. It had good storage but not great storage. Both sides of the car had things stacked next to it and has suffered some dings and chips along both sides. I don't think they should be fixed due to the fact that the car is so original. It has the original tires but they do have flat spots and some cracking and I would not drive any distance on them. It will need the brakes done and a good tune-up. It has a sticky valve that losens up when it is run for a few miniutes and that has been better each time I start it. I'm sure it will be fine with an oil change and run more often. The lifters are quite and make no noise. I have driven it around my driveway and it shifts fine and will be easy to load.
The interior is very good and with more cleaning could be outstanding. The trunk area is also like new. I did not clean the engine compartment as I wanted everyone to see the original condition. The underside is in good shape but does show surface rust but no holes and is very solid. I will say there are quite a few cob webs!
This Corvair is a real time piece and I hope someone that really appreciates original cars will purchase this Corvair. How rare is it to find such a low mileage car espically a Corvair!
I will be happy to answer any questions you might have and strongly encourage you to come and see the car for yourself or have someone look at it for you. The car speaks for itself and I have nothing to hid. I can be reached at 570-460-8395 EST or email at rrutherford@usa.net.
Vehicle is sold as-is and must be removed from my property within 30 days of auction close. I will except as payment personal check, bank check, bank wire transfer or cash in person. All funds must clear my bank before the vehicle and title are released. I require a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 within 72 hours of auction close, pay-pal ok for deposit. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the car is also for sale locally.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
