This is a very special Corvair. I puchased the car several years ago from a dealership, as it had been a trade in. I suspect that whoever had this super restoration done probably passed and whoever inhertied the car didn't know what it was.
This car is totally professionally rebuilt from top to bottom. Every part of the car is like brand new, ie wiring, lights, chrome, engine, tranny, interior, underbody, trunk, engine compartment, the more you look, the better it gets.. There is not one spec of rust anywhere, no body dings, suspension is outstanding, tranmission is tight, and the motor runs very will, with th 4 carb setup (this is a 1965 engine)
I had the carbs rebuilt by a long time dedicated Corvair mechanic in Black Mountain NC and he fixed the gas tank float while he had it. I also replaced both rear axel bearings with rebuilt units from Clarks Corvair. Other than that, I've driven to NC to have the title validated with there investigation which is required on all cars over 15 years old. This is to verify that the car wasn't stolen, rebuilt,, kit car, etc and mine passed just fine. The trip added over 1,000 miles to the car and it was a very nice ride, especially with the cruise control.
The car probably started out life as a Monza, but is now Spydered as far as badging and dash. As stated the engine is the 1965 140hp model, the seats are cloth from some other car, the tilting steering wheel with the cruise paddle is out of a later model Chevy. Look at the pictures, they really show the quality of this car, especially take not of the trunk and the dual master cylinder , boosted brake job. No one I've talked to has seen this in a Corvair. And the attention given to the engine bay, it is a work of art itself. Power top works perfectly and there is a white boot cover, but I don't use it as I put the top up and down a lot.
This car needs absolutely nothing, it's perfect as it is. So if you buy it, just drive it and change the oil.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General 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.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
