1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Convertible on 2040-cars
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
Up for Auction is my beautiful 1965 "Evening Orchid" Corsa convertible. It has been in my collection and is a very sweet ride. But, I'm thinning out my herd. This Corsa is in very good condition for it's "age" and has the rare "P" code (Evening Orchid), paint with fantastic workmanship and outstanding trim. This is not a car to drive if you don't want to be noticed (Chick magnet), as it will get attention and compliments everywhere you park. This Corsa was previously a show car and has extra Monza badging installed. It is a "true" and original Corsa. It is rare to find a Corvar in this condition and with this "Color" and "caliber" paint! It only has a few small chips from normal use. All of the bright work trim on the car is like new, with exceptions of a dent in the rear upper cove trim, the RR wheel opening trim and some minor dents in the windshield stainless moldings. All of the glass is perfect with exception of the passenger door having some scratches. the floors were recently replaced and the trunk floor was previously replaced with correct metal welded in. There are a few small paint blisters showing on the right rear quarter behind the wheel trim, (see photo), and the left rocker under the molding. The seats show little wear and are nearly flawless, although the driver seat seems to be soft in the base as if the foam or springs are weak (not visually noticeable). The convertible top is near perfect condition with a new rear window and works manually as it should. The radio and wipers and heater all work properly. The windshield pillar weather strips and trunk weather strips are new. The Car has had recent maintenance and has just been serviced by Steve Avery ("AVERY CORVAIRS"), in Greenville, South Carolina. Including a tune up, with new Ignition wires, spark plugs, rebuilt carburetors and fresh oil change. Also, the brakes were just "replaced", including wheel cylinders rebuilt and dual master cylinder. The rear wheel bearings are lubed and have had grease fittings installed and the front wheel bearings have been checked and repacked. All 4 shocks were just replaced with new "Clarks" shocks along with thermostats, a new Viton rear main seal and oil pressure switch. The wheels are beautiful with 15x7 ARE with 196/65 15" (front), and 205/56 15" (rear). The tires are Cooper touring (absolutely dig these treads!), with between 5/32nds and 7/32nds of tread left. . The 140hp engine has a "mild" cam and runs strong even though it is a "older" rebuild on a YR block, (TO407YR). There is a "trace" of smoke on cold start . The clutch and gearbox have no issues and shifts are smooth and no "abnormal" noises. The transaxle is the later (1966 up), "Saginaw" with a "Otto" parts strut bracket installed . Should If you have any questions call Steve at "AVERY CORVAIRS" at (828)-342-0953. Or Email him at vairtech@yahoo.com. Note: This Corsa is being sold "as is" and no warranty supplied or implied.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020
Wed, Jan 6 2021BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
