UP for Auction here is a 1965 Corsa Coupe 140 4 speed car. This car has lots of goodies so please read carefully.


Exterior   Black (Base Clear) has decent curb appeal a great 20 footer or driver quality car. Previous owner let it sit under a pine tree to long and the sap ate into the clear coat. I have done minor cleaning and polishing to bring it to it's current state. The Body shows one bad spot of rust bubbling under the paint on the drivers side just in front of the door. With one rust spot and a cheap paint job (Maaco) you could make this into a real head turner.

Interior   Black   Good carpet, New headliner, New door panels with matching rear cards. Stock rear seat in great condition not hard or cracking. Front seats are aftermarket fabric seats with black and grey charcoal  inserts.. Proper Corsa Dash  just completely re worked and Odometer rolled to 000000. Dash has new wrinkle finish and is fully functional except for the clock. Radio is a Sony CD player with front input jack for an mp3 player. Speakers are Alpine 6 x 9 in the rear window.  

Chassis   good mechanical condition. Previous owner did some Autocrossing with this car and every suspension joint is either Nylon or Delrin. Front has been converted to Disk brakes and it has a dual Master Cylinder. (DOT 5 Silicone Fluid) Rear end has a Corvette sway bar and it fits perfectly.  All springs are stock... not cut down or modified in any way.  Front end has Aftermarket Quick Steering arms and the shifter has a Quick Shift adaptor.

Engine / Drivetrain   Correct 65 transaxle is in the car it drives and shifts nicely. Engine is not the proper Coded RB block. It is however a late model 140 engine. The engine was internally inspected and the rod bearings looked perfect. The heads where extensively rebuilt with a complete new valve job and had the chambers cut to raise the compression to 10 to 1. It has a bolted and balanced flywheel with a new clutch disc. No oil Leaks ..  Dual exhaust is welded together and sounds good (not rusted out junk). Car can come either as pictured with 4 individual air filters or with a stock style snorkle air cleaner... your Choice... Engine has a MSD 6AL ignition system firing from a set of points in the dist. the fuel pump is electric.

Floor pans have all been replaced with new units from Clarks Corvair parts. I don't know how bad they where but the previous owner cut out the old and replaced them.

Everything Mechanically is good and it can be test driven and or driven home. 


The Bad   To be a real nice car it will need a paint job and minor exterior rust repair . Tires are worn it will need them soon.  Engine has a sometimes hearable wrist pin knocking.. I have personally checked the rod bearings and the condition of the internal engine and all is good. 

If you don't know my user name or me personally ,,, My shop builds and repairs Corvairs all the time and with the size of the Corvair community my name is well known. I wouldn't attempt to sell this car if it wasn't ready for a new owner to enjoy.

With that Said
It is a used car and please bid accordingly. Check out my feedback rating..

Some may ask why sell this car if it so good...  Bottom line is that I took this car as payment for performance engine work I did for a customer. I have put a ton of labor and parts into this car to bring it back to driver status and now I need to turn the car back into Capitol.

My reserve is set at what any running driving 65 Corsa Coupe should bring.. If the reserve isn't meet I will keep the car for a few months fix the rust and repaint it. then sell it for twice as much. Or buy it and pay me to do this work and when you get it it will be beautiful.




On May-18-13 at 07:18:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

Things to note that I forgot when listing the car... 


 The door jambs are solid no rust in them and the doors do not sag when opened.

 Trunk is solid no rusted through holes. A quick clean up and can or two of trunk splatter paint and it will look new.

 Windshield is a replacement aftermarket unit very good condition. (no scratches or nicks)

 I can provide any additional pics requested by serious bidders. All of the pictures in this auction where taken Friday the 17th of May. The car was  not cleaned up for the pictures. In these pictures it is currently covered in a coating of pollen.

The real costs of keeping a Chevy Volt on the road

Wed, Sep 2 2015

The release of the new, 2016 Chevy Volt is sure to bring a surge of used electric vehicles to the market as early adopters trade their older models in. Many of these cars are selling for a fraction of their original price, thanks in part to federal and state incentives that lowered the initial cost to the first owner, which opens these cars up to a whole new class of consumers. While the prices are getting attractive, potential buyers are still hesitant to buy a used EV due to uncertainty about service and repair costs, but there may be some good news on the horizon. The Chevy Volt comes with a battery warranty that is good for at least 8 years and 100,000 miles, but many of the Volts popping up on the market have passed that 100,000-mile mark. The threat of needing a new battery can be a deterrent, especially with some dealers quoting prices as high as $34,000 for a full "drive motor battery replacement." That sum is more than the MSRP of a 2016 model. Some of the fear of EV maintenance and repair comes from the mystery of the individual pieces that make up the drivetrain and charging system. If we take a look at the Volt in terms of analogs to a traditional internal-combustion vehicle, the outlook becomes a little more friendly. The Volt battery pack consists of three lithium-ion modules in a T-shaped arrangement, each of which can be serviced individually. Module 1 is made up of 90 cells and corresponds to GM part number 22954462, which retails for $3,258.33; module 2 is made up of 72 cells and corresponds to GM part number 22954463, which retails for $2,930.00; lastly, module 3 is made up of 125 cells and corresponds to GM part number 22954464, and retails for $4,933.33. These part numbers have been added to the dealer order systems but have not shown up in the distribution centers at this time. Although all three of the modules add up to a fairly large $11,121.66 total and are still on hold for dealer ordering, the good news is that in most cases these battery cell modules do not need to be replaced. There are many other individual pieces mounted on the battery pack that are serviceable, such as the Battery Energy Control Modules (BECM) and the Battery Interface Control Modules (BICM). These modules control and monitor the battery packs and charging system and have been known to fail while the lithium-ion battery cells are not at fault. Some have been replaced under warranty, but if you are stuck buying one they run about $255 a piece for the part.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
