1962 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I have a 1962 Corvair Monza 900 Convertible 4sp for sale. It is a complete running/driving builder type car, appears to have been an older restoration with a repaint and carpet at some point. Has the optional YN 102 HP engine. 75K miles.
Body is very straight and except for a minor ding in the drivers door is accident free. Trunk, floors, rockers, dash, doors, and front fenders are all very solid rust free. The passenger rear quarter has a patch at the top of the wheel well and is showing some bubbling. Drivers rear quarter does not have any patches but is showing some rust in the front of the wheel well. Rear sections of both rear quarters look solid. There is a hole below the rear license plate which looks like the rear bumper took a ding that broke the bracket and tore the metal which caused it to rust, would not be too hard to patch.
Previous owner purchased it from his dad who found it in CA so looks like it's been in the southwest for a long time given the faded paint and cracked front seats. Back seat is in great condition as are the side panels. All chrome pieces look very good especially around the windshield. Windshield looks perfect may have been replaced. Top looks good, solid frame and goes up and down fine. Windows are all good and go up and down great, there is one cracked wing window but it is minor. I found the original owners manual including the convertible top supplement in the glovebox.
Even has a good set of tires and a new battery. Asking $4500 obo. Am not seeing very many restorable '62 convertibles anywhere. Located in Phoenix, AZ 85032. Email is 1se7enty7@gmail.com.
Thanks,
JP

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet 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.
