For Sale 1961 Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup Truck

Parade Ready

VIN = 1R124S103986

For sale to settle an estate is a very rare, 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside pickup truck aka "FC" (Forward Control)-Flat 6 cylinder /4 speed manual /145 CID). This vehicle is very well known to all of the Detroit Area Air Coolers and was noted last week by the DAAC Founder and fellow Corvair expert as “Not perfect, but she’s the nicest one you will find. If you want one better, head on over to Jay Leno’s Garage and plan on spending 50K”. This Rampside has earned many accolades including a wall full of trophies, countless wins at local shows and, as you see from one of the pictures, was a feature vehicle at the Sloan Museum 100^th Anniversary Show from May through September 2011. Mom & Dad have owned and loved this truck since 1992 and the truck was the subject of a bottom to top renovation. Since then, it has only seen 2 things, sunshine and dry roads or the soft side of a custom-fit cover (included) while parked in the garage. It is not a rust free vehicle, but is clean, clean, clean as you can see from the pictures and you can listen to the video to hear it run. The engine starts every time and the transmission shifts grind-free with confidence from 1^st through 4^th. The tires are like new (see pictures) and the battery is new as well. She starts every time, RUNS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT so the bottom line is, this Rampside is Parade Ready!!! As for things that need some attention, the passenger door requires higher than normal effort to shut, but will close and lock properly and maybe I am picky but it closes every time. I could be spoiled by the driver’s door, ramside, and tail gate which all function flawlessly with fingertip efforts! The horn does not work. The choke seems hard to pull, but is not required even on a cool Michigan morning. The transmission is generating a few drops of fluid per day. This vehicle is for sale locally as well and the seller reserves the right to remove this vehicle from eBay Motors at any time.

WARNING: Do not buy this vehicle unless you like to have pleasant conversations and receive compliments at every stoplight, every restaurant, every gas station, corner store, car show, or basically anywhere there are other folks around.

Hear her RUN!!! http://youtu.be/a1hKpXoJxzQ

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
