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. I have the right to end this auction at any time due to it being for sale locally.

GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs

Mon, Oct 15 2018

Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
