Up for auction is a nice 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 700 Deluxe. This is a turn-key cruising car which starts right up, runs, and stops. The car was restored recently and painted to match the original Honduras Maroon coloring from GM and any bodywork was done by a professional car dealer using two-stage urethane and clear coat. When this car is polished it has the appearance of being wet so it is a great paint job. Very little, if any, rust or body damage. The entire underbody has been sealed with rust-proofing and floors are solid. New chrome Cragar racing wheels with Goodyear rubber! The wheels look amazing on this Corvair. E-brake holds the car safely and the Power-glide trans is good, no slipping. All body chrome is smooth and nice - no excessive pitting.

Has the traditional Corvair air-cooled 6 cylinder engine in the rear. Has had new coil, wires, plugs, points, rotor, rebuilt carbs, new chokes, newer fuel pump, oil filter, lube job, oil change, and rebuilt generator for a few years back. The engine is powerful and runs well - drips very little oil and is clean. The gas gauge doesn't register so I have a stick for that. All lights and electrical system is good. 8,800 is the mileage shown on the odometer, 87,000 is assumed to be on the rebuilt engine.

Interior is sharp and has only one seam opened on the driver's back cushion, new designer Corvair carperts and a newer tape deck has replaced the old AM radio. The windows were resealed when car was restored and doors latch and close easily. The front truck is clean and in great shape. Overall this is a handsome Corvair with tremendous curb appeal and runs like a champ!

Winner to pay with Cash in person, or paypal in advance as per arrangements. $200 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours and balance due before pick-up and I can help load car if necessary. Please ask any questions ahead of time, opinions on condition can sometimes vary so please ask. Clear is for sale locally as well so snag it while you can.

Thanks for looking!

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge

Sat, Sep 9 2017

Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
