1964 Corvair Monza Spyder Turbo Convertible on 2040-cars
Monticello, Kentucky, United States
|
For Sale, my 1964 Monza Spyder Turbo Convertible.
The last year of the original body style Corvairs. There were only 4,761 of the 64 Spyder Convertibles ever built originally, estimated to be less then 1500 still existing. Everywhere I have driven it, it always gets looks, waves, and compliments! 150 H.P. Turbocharged Air-Cooled flat 6 cylinder engine. Strong runner, I've had the car to over 70 on the interstate with no problems whatsoever. Car has had a recent total restoration, including all new interior from Clark's Corvair, new paint in G.M. Yellow Gold, new P185-80R 13" B.F.Goodrich wide whitewall tires (less then 1000 miles on tires). Optional right outside mirror, and the center floor console from Clark's included as well. Custom trim striping on rocker panels, the original wire wheel style hubcaps, and hard to find original headlight gravel guards. All lights work, headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, dash lights. New high volume dual horns installed. Radio installed, but not hooked up, and no speaker in the dash. Parking Brake not operating, might need new cable. Manual Convertible top in great shape, works easily. Great driver, the 64s had the rear suspension upgrade which greatly improved the handling. I drive it around on the mountain roads in my area and it handles as well as any modern car! The car has the original Owner's manual, Convertible Top manual, warranty book, and advertising materials from 1964. Also included is a set of original G.M. Shop manuals, including the 64 updates, plus the G.M. Assembly Manual for the Corvair. Also, a complete set of the latest issue catalogs from Clark's Corvair parts. Also included are a spare clutch cable, 2 fan belts, and other spare parts. The car starts easily, drives great, no smoke from exhaust. It does use a little oil, perhaps some minor leaks, not uncommon for a 50 year old Corvair. |

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
