1965 was the first year for the totally redesigned Corvair. This particular example is finished in period correct Medira Maroon over a beautiful black interior and is a rare Corsa convertible model which featured a higher output 4 carburetor 140 HP air cooled flat 6 cylinder engine. This uncommon classic also boasts a 4 speed manual transmission and rally dash.

As can be seen in the photos, this Corvair is in superb condition having received a thorough cosmetic and mechanical restoration over the last 3 to 4 years. Interior is all new, paint is approximately 1 year old and was done professionally at a considerable expense. This car also has 15" Chevy rally wheels, new weather strips, a rebuilt engine and transmission, new clutch as well as rebuilt suspension and brakes and more... The result is a show quality vehicle that can be driven on a regular basis. The car tracks perfectly straight even at highway speeds and brakes solid with no swerving, it is a blast to drive and garners a lot of attention wherever it goes!

All lights function properly, there are no electrical issues, no battery drains, car always starts readily and runs strong. Overall I would rate this example as a very solid 3+ high quality driver. It is very showable and could even be an award contender at local level shows. However, it is not flawless or a trailer queen. Chrome presents well but does show some age, convertible top is older and in average condition but is totally usable as is. Trunk compartment is extremely nice, engine compartment is presentable but would benefit from a thorough detailing. Undercarriage is extremely solid with no rot or rust damage.

Please view the photos and contact me with questions. I have sold literally hundreds of cars on the internet over the years and will gladly answer all questions as well as assist with shipping arrangements. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs. $500 deposit is required to secure the vehicle, cash, cashier's check, and bank wire transfer are all acceptable forms of payment.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS and 2 videos, serious potential buyers please email me for more photos and links to videos, or call, Jamie 314-368-4564. Anyone who wishes to see the car in person is more than welcome to, just contact me to make arrangements.

Corvair Corsa Convertibles in this condition are a very rare find, act quickly! I have a tremendous amount of money tied up in this car and am not in any way desperate to sell it. If you what to make fixer-upper offers, then buy a fixer-upper and find out for yourself how expensive it is to restore a car, not to mention the time commitment to get it sorted out after restoration. For those that understand the value inherent in buying a "done" car, this one is for you, all serious offers will be considered.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
