Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car has been garaged and babied for most of its existence: paint has one 1/2 inch ding on the hood; otherwise very minor marks or small scuffs--needs wax & a good buff. Has about a 1/2 inch gouge in the chrome panel at the lower edge of the driver's door--hard to see unless looking from below. Interior has been redone; seats in great shape--no damage. Carpet has minor stains. One wheel spinner cover has one of the tabs knocked off ($25 part to replace). Speedometer ticks and is unreliable above about 60 MPH (has been replaced; odometer may not reflect actual mileage). Engine & mechanical parts have no known issues otherwise."

This car gets lots of attention: it looks great, and everyone has a Corvair story to tell! 

1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 2 door, 4-on-the-floor transmission
Always garaged and well maintained; gets driven very little, sadly. 
Since taking ownership a few years ago: new tires, rebuilt Remington carburetors, brakes re-done, new fuel pump.
Starts right up on the first try 99% of the time and runs steady. Prefers fast over slow driving. ;) Smooth ride.

Has re-upholstered seats and updated paint. A few minor scratches or wear spots on the body, and discreet evidence of previous repairs to bodywork on lower edge of one door. Lots of original still in it, and in good shape.
Very clean engine and engine compartment
Original mileage uncertain. Odometer reads 26,000+, which I take to mean 126,000, but I'm told the parts were previously replaced, so numbers may not be accurate. Speedometer is unsteady above about 60 MPH. Makes a great excuse.

Includes all 4 wheel covers and spinners, car cover, a box of spare parts (including spare carbs), 3 new seat belts to retrofit in the back seat if desired, various manuals, and a license plate frame that says "Up Yours, Ralph Nader!" Lots of records over multiple previous owners.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
