Selling my 1965 Corvair Corsa roller. It has a 180 Turbo motor and 4-speed manual.
Body: The body has been professionally restored and painted, and is rust-free. This is the absolute perfect car for a restoration, as the body work has already been done. Floors and front trunk area are original paint and are in exceptional condition. Everything else - body, doors, dashboard, engine bay, etc. have brand new paint. All the glass is included and damage-free. Only the windshield is not installed yet, but is included. Rear floor pans have been cut out but can be welded back in very easily. Again, no rust there. Brand new weatherstripping on trunk and hood, doors, and window fuzzies.
Engine/Transmission: Engine is a 180 Turbo. Included with the sale, currently out of the car. The motor spins freely and has a bunch of go-fast parts like electronic ignition, finned oil pan and valve covers. Assembled except for the accessories, intake, turbo (anything that sits on top of the motor). I have most of the parts for it. Transmission is a 4-speed manual, fully assembled and functional.
Interior: Custom upholstery has been made for the car already, including door panels, rear quarter interior panels, driver's seat and rear seat (see photos). I also have brand new carpeting waiting to be installed.
A hotrod in it's day! It's the perfect project for someone looking for an easy muscle car restoration, race car build, hot rod, etc. I have boxes upon boxes of parts to put the car back together with. I haven't gone through everything yet because I didn't have time to finish the car, but many of the parts needed for reassembly are there. This car is ready to be reassembled, all the hard stuff like body and paint is done - I just ran out of time. Currently a roller. The car has been stored indoors under a cover since the body was restored. Title in-hand, signed by previous owner. Somewhat flexible on price, make me an offer. Any questions, please text or call 845-803-7592.

I've been getting a few questions about what parts are included vs. what needs to be purchased. I have to admit I'm not a Corvair expert, so I don't know the parts down to the last nut and bolt - however, all of the major brackets and parts are there to get it together as far as I know. The only major thing that it needs is wiring. Other than that, you may need some interior trim pieces, engine accessory brackets, and screws/nuts to put it together. To the best of my knowledge, I do believe you can get most of the car together with what's here, but it will need some small parts. I strongly encourage you to come and check out the car in person before bidding if you need a better idea of what's included. I can also try to answer any questions about the car over the phone or email if you're not in the area. I want to represent the condition as honestly as possible so there are no surprises.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
